The first day of school may be the best day of school, especially if you are new to that particular school. Most girls, I know, would never say this. They would whine about missing their friends, not knowing what the fad is, or just plain out not wanting to leave their old school. However I love switching schools. It has some sort of mystery to it, you never know who you will meet or who that school will make you into.

My first day at schools always consist of trying to find friends and my classes. Today was just like that to be honest.

“Hey. Do you know where class 208 is with Mr.Peters is?” I asked a really tall guy leaning up against the locker.

“Yeah, go straight down that hallway, take your first right and his class room should be on the left.  By the way my name is Krist, nice to meet you!”

He shook my hand “Nice to meet you too, my name is Zoe” I smiled. “Well I have to get to class. I will talk to you later?”

“Yeah, see you later” Krist turned around and continued his conversation with his friend.

The bell rang. Time for lunch I suppose. Lunch works in many different ways from school to school. Like sometimes you will only have one lunch for the high school or you will have three. Or there will be only two things you can get for lunch or sometimes you can get five things for lunch. For some particular reason I always find it interesting to see how it works. It is like everyone in the room knows how everything works but me.This particular lunch seems to have a mixture of everything.

Once I get my tray, with just mac & cheese, my next challenge is to find somewhere to sit. This is always my dilemma, since it is my first day, I never know anyone well enough to sit with. Its kinda like a pick and choose game. 

“ Hey,erm, Zoe” I hear across the lunch room.”Come sit with us.” Krist called.

I proceeded to sit with his group of friends. Like all highschools they’re always the clichés.  This certain group of people, from my experience, would be classified under the erm music junkies or just plain old stoners. Which sounds really rude, but by judging the book by its cover that is what I see.

I got introduced to the whole crew. There is Shelli, who has short brown hair and is super friendly. She is also dating Krist. There is Chad who had long brown hair.

 “Soooo,Zoe, where are you from?” Chad asked

“Well I was born in Seattle but we move around a lot.”

“Oh that’s cool. I have always wanted to go to Seattle to see if I could get started in the music biz.” Krist chimed in.

“Yeah.” I really didn’t know what to say. “So what is there to do around here? I have been here for a few weeks and there seems to be nothing around here.”

“Not much, really. We normally just hang out at Krists house.” Shelli commented. They all started laughing. I guess there was some kind of inside joke about his house that I wasn’t catching on too. “But seriously you should come hang out with us this weekend. We are planning to have a big party. “

“Alright that seems fun. Do I need to bring anything?”
