The door opens and Mrs. Martchins gets out the principles office. I stand up immediately and walk toward her.

"The principal will see you in a minute. Wait here." she says and leaves down the hole.

I seat down again and put my face in my hands. I'm so tired, I want to go home.

"Are you okay?" Jake seats next to me. I lean into his arm.

"Yeah, I guess I am. I'm just tired." I say and look up at him. He looks tired too. "I'm so sorry, Jake. I didn't mean to..." I try to apologize, but he cuts me off.

"It's not your fault, don't be sorry." he says and someone mutters. I look around and I meet gray green eyes looking at me with so much rage. I move closer to Jake and he wraps his arm around my back.

I hear door opening and stan up when i hear my name. I step in the small office full of tall towers of papers and fillings. The older, balding man is sitting behind small desk and writing something on some papers. He looks up at us and smiles.

"Seat down, please." he says and points to two armchairs in front of his desk. I take a seat and the green-eyed guy seats next to me. Jake is standing behind me with his arms on my shoulders. "So, what's the problem?" he says through sigh.

"This girl broke my nose!" guy says. He's overreacting, I didn't realy broke his nose, right? It was an accident!

"No, she didn't, she just ran into you!" Jake defends me again.

"And what are you, her lawyer?" that guy asks with obvious rage in his voice.

"Hey, hey hey! Silence!" director says loudly and turns to me. "What's your name?" he asks.

"I'm... I mean... My name is B.. Beth." I say nervously. I can't communicate with people I don't know, I get so confused and I don't know what to say.

"Well Beth, tell me what happened." he says and leans back in his chair. He looks exhausted.

"I... I was walking down the hall.. toward your office.. and then.." I stop, my mind is blocked, I don't know what to say. I forgot everything I wanted to say in my defence.

"Continue." principal says.

"Me... I ran into this guy and he hit his nose. It was an accident." I finally finish my explanation. Thank god, I remembered what I wanted to say.

"Yeah, you kill the man and say 'it was an accident'. Right.." okay, that guy is going on my nerves. Why is he making such a big deal about this?

"Mr. Malik, I think that this young lady didn't have intention to kill you, obviously it was an accident. You should go and see a nurs, she will fix your nose." principal says and shut him up when he tries to protest. That guys' face is frown and his eyes are furious. He leaves the office and shuts the door behind.

"Okay, now let's see what do we have here." principal says and looks at his papers. "Elizabeth Willis, age 17, right?" he asks and I nod. "Well, I think everything's fine... I don't see any problems for your registration." he says with a smile and passes me some papers and a pen. I sing those papers and he shakes my hand. "Wellcome to the Wilson High School!"

"Thank you very much." I thank him and stand up. I look at Jake and he's smiling at me.

"We'll send you your schedule, you don't have classes today, it's been a long day for you. I guess your friend can show you around, right? You don't need a guide." he says and I nod. I thank him again and Jake and I leave his office.

"Well, I guess this is it. We can leave now if you want." Jake says when we're back in the main hole. I want to go home so bad, but on second taught it's better to get to know this place or I can't get to my classes tomorrow.

"Can you show me around? I don't want to get lost tomorrow." I say and he nods. He's so sweet and kind and I'm torturing him. I know he's tired as much as I am but I really need to get to know this place. Last thing I need is to get lost on my first day at new school.

He leads me down the hall and we turn left, toward chemistry classroom and some room that is not allowed for students to enter. We go upstairs and he shows me the other classrooms. It's just amazing! I mean, it's so much better than my old school. My old school was just so... old. Not modern at all, we didn't have computers since last year.

"So, what do you think? It's not so hard to remember, right?" he asks.

"Yeah, I guess it's not. It's great, actually. I like it... Well, most of it." I respond. There's just one thing that worries me.

"Is there something wrong?" he sounds worried.

"It's nothing. Let's go." I say and turn around. I notice the door in the end of hole, he didn't tell me what's there. "What's in there?" I ask him and point toward the door.

"That's.. school ambulance." he answers... nervously?

"Yeah, you should remember this place, I think you may want to visit your friend when i beat his ass." yet familiar voice says. Green-eyed guy is standing in the doorpost. His nose looks different, I guess it's fixed now.

"Come on, let's go." Jake mutters and we leave toward the main door.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" that guy challenges.

"Just ignore him." Jake says to me, but it sounds like he's talking to himself. We get out of the school and walk toward Jake's car. He opens the door for me once again and I sit in my seat. He gets in the car and starts the motor. We pull out the parking lot and he turns the radio on. It's some rock song on the radio, I would usually like this music, but now it's giving me a headache.

"Do you want to turn it off?" Jake asks and i nod. He turns off the radio. "I'm sorry about that guy, you shouldn't... I mean, he's just a jerk." I think he tries to defend him. Why would he do that?

"It's okay... Who is that guy anyway?" I ask indifferently. And why is he acting so weird? Is he your friend? Why is he upset with you? I guess one question is enough, for now.

"That's Zayn Malik, the biggest jerk in our school. Can we please stop talking about him?" he begs and I nod. Now I reall want to know what's wrong with that guy. And why is Jake avoiding to talk about him? Is he hiding something? I don't know, but I will find out, that's for sure.
