"Emma, they need you in the principal's office." I hear my teacher
"For what?"
"Im not quite sure but they said to hurry, and bring your stuff."
My palms begin to sweat and my legs quiver. I've never been in trouble and I don't do anything bad, so what could be the problem?
I push passed the crammed desks of kids and walk out into the hallway.
Its totally empty and there's not a sound, its kinda creepy.
I start my way towards the principal's office and hold my papers in my hand.
Once i reach the office Mrs. Brown is standing outside waiting. She looks rather happy and I realize I'm not in trouble. So what's going on?
"Emma, I would like to introduce you to someone. Meet Blake, Blake meet Emma."
A tall, blonde-haired boy stands up and shakes my hand.
"Its very nice to meet you." he says without making eye contact.
"Same to you. So Mrs. Brown how can I help?"
"I need you to show him around the school, become friends with him, introduce him to people. He's moved from Arizona and is nervous to make new friends, so i called you to help."
"Why me?"
"You seem to get along with everyone."
"Oh, thank you. Well, Blake, let's go before the bell rings and we're trampled."
He smiles and sets his bags on the ground of the office and follows me to the cafeteria.
"This is the cafeteria. A lot happens here such as fights, selfies, and gossip. Its super fun, you'll love it." he laughs at my remark.
"So do you think I'll fit in?"
"I bet you will. You seem like you'd be with the jocks. We call them that but they're all really nice."
"Oh okay, do y'all have football?"
"Yep! We have games every Wednesday and Friday."
"Oh cool, I'll have to come watch sometime."
"Definitely. So now let's go look at the gym."
We walk to the gym and wait as the stampede of sweaty boys run out to go outside for PE. I see Jared, he's so gorgeous, even when his face is red and he's not trying, he's gorgeous.
"So... who was that guy?" Blake looks at me smirking.
"O-Oh you mean uh Jared?"
"The one you were just drooling over?"
"Yeah, that's Jared."
"Do you like him?"
"I mean, just a little teeny tiny bit."
"Little?"
"Oh shut up!!" I nudge him with my shoulder and head into the gym...
