"Hey Grayson?" I say as loud as I possibly could so he could hear me from the other side of our new apartment.
"Ya?" Grayson says.
"I need the directions to our high school." I yell back.
I hear footsteps and turn around only to Grayson giving me a confused look.
"What??" I exclaim.
"I'm driving us there." Grayson laughs.
"Are you sure?"
"Ya, of course... Do you not want to?"
" No I do, I guess." I sigh.
"Okay.. Well be in the car in a five minutes. "
I wait for a brief moment while Grayson walks out of my room and right as he walks down our hallway,
I yell, "Can I drive instead?"
"Are you sure you want to? Last time you almost crashed our car. If that's what you want though, you could drive."
"I want to drive Grayson so just let me drive."
"Fine." He signed towards the car.
I walk out of the small apartment and shut the door quietly on my way out. I skip some stairs as I'm jumping down them. I walk up to Grayson and I's black SUV, unlock it, and jump into it. Grayson runs down the stairs and his phone pops out of his pocket onto the concrete floor.
"Oh, damn it." Grayson says as he picks up his phone.
"Is it cracked?" I say as I open the passenger door for him.
He inspects his phone for a second,"no."
"Okay. Gooodddd." I sing in a pitchy tone as I put on my seatbelt.
"got it?" Grayson asks.
"Ya, I think." I pull out of the driveway.
I take a turn to go to the street and start to drive.
"Nervous?" Grayson questions me.
" ya cause I don't want to get bullied for having a YouTube channel." I roll my eyes.
"Ya, I get what you mean but don't worry. We'll be fine. alright?"
"Ya, alright." I laugh.
I keep driving on the freeway. I can't stop thinking how much this could go wrong.
"Take this exit off the freeway NOW."
"Okay Grayson, chill. When did you get so smart that you can remember how to drive somewhere."
"That's rude."
"Sorry."
I see a sign that says student crossing so I figure I'm practically there. As I drive a little farther I finally see a sign that reads
             FRANKLIN HIGH SCHOOL
             HOME OF THE FIREBIRDS
I take a left into the packed school parking lot. I drive down two aisles looking for a parking spot but to no avail. I keep searching for a new parking spot and I suddenly spotted one to my right and I immediately turned into it. I hear a loud thud that shakes our car.
"WHAT THE HELL ETHAN?!" Grayson screams.
I'm to confused at what just happened to even give a response. It couldn't have been me who hit them because I was in a standstill position, right? Right as I am about to respond to Grayson, someone knocks on my window hushing my words. I look to my side to see a young girl with long brown hair with tight curls  and bright green eyes that are complimented by her perfect smile. She beats the window again. I roll down the window while eying her young face and body.
"Hey man, I'm really sorry about your car it's just-"  she stares at me for a short second and than continues, " I'm Shaye, sorry for not introducing myself. Anyways, my mom for some reason thought the spot was open and she tried to pull in and obviously failed and we don't have insurance or anything so I'm really sorry about hitting your car and sorry for talking so much." She frowns.
"It's fine, we have insurance." I say.
I just can't stop staring at her cute dimples and sweet smile. I hear the door slam and see Grayson put his backpack on and walk off to the schools front office. 
I open my door without realize that Shaye is still standing right behind me.
"Are you a freshman too?" She asks.
"No, I'm a transfer sophmore from New Jersey."
"New Jersey? Why did you move to the big city hustle and ugly highways of Los Angeles?"
"Well, its just kind of something me and my brother decided to do because we want to be able to be a big part of the YouTube community and the community takes place in Los Angeles so we just moved into a apartment here so it's easy to make collaborations with other YouTubers and have producers and filmers that could help us out with our channel and stuff like that."
"Oh that's really cool. Want to walk up to the front office with me to get a map of this huge hell?"
"Sure." I said surprised.
We begin to walk and I just look at her outfit. A shirt that reads "Franklin cheer", jean shorts, and black converse all-stars.
"Are you on the cheer team here?" I ask shyly.
"Ya, I guess. The varsity girls don't really consider JV apart of the team here."
"Why is that?"
"Cause we're not varsity, duh."
"Oh, haha."
"So, you said you are a YouTuber right?"
"Ya, I guess," I try to mock her in her adorable high voice.
"Haha, very funny." She rolls her eyes as she laughs.
We approach the entrance to the front office.
"Here we are." Shaye states.
We walk in to the huge room filled with red and gold banners that all say go firebirds.
"Hello, may I help you?" The lady behind the desk says surprising me.
"Oh ya, can we get maps of the school?"
"Sure." The lady leans down to open a file cabinet.
Shaye turns to me and looks me up and down while we wait.
"What?" I ask, confused what she's looking around.
"Nothing" she smiles and we just stare at each other until we are interrupted, of course.
"Here's your map. Now, is there anything else you need?" The cranky woman questions us.
"No, we're fine." Shaye answers for me.
We walk out of the office.
"What classroom are you going to?" I ask her.
"146. You?"
"224."
"Well bye new boy. See you around," she raises an eyebrow and smiles right as she walks away.
