I arrived at school. I walked through the doors and instantly felt like an outcast, as always. I went to my locker, where my friend, Maya, was waiting for me. "Hi fren." She held my locker open for me. "Hello, fren." I replied, putting my backpack into my locker. "We got a new kid in 8th grade today." She told me. I got my stuff for first hour and closed my locker. "Noice. Boy or girl?" I asked her. "Boy. His name is Noah. I talked to him in the gym this morning, he's pretty cool. I think we're frens." She got her stuff from her locker and closed it, smiling. "Cool." I smiled back. "Yeah, I think you'd like him." She said. I smiled. Maya and I walked to first hour together.
