Indi’s POV:

I woke to the sound of birds chirping outside my window. Wow, that sounds like something from a sweet kids movie. What I meant was that I woke to the sound of birds squawking and carrying on outside my window. “What a wonderful start to the day” I muttered to myself sarcastically. That was when I remembered that today was the first day of school. Normally, I wouldn’t be too unhappy about going back to school, but today was my first day at school in Australia for 10 years. The last time I went to school here was in grade 2, just before my family and I moved to England. I don’t really remember much about Australia. All I remember was it being really pretty and the weather was always nice. I can’t really say the same about England. Sure, some of the scenery is pretty, but the weather is horrible. It’s always freezing cold and raining. Perfect tumblr weather, I guess.

I slowly got changed into my new school uniform. It wasn’t too bad, I guess. Not the worst I’ve seen. I quickly put my hair into a neat, high ponytail and tied some ribbon around my hair band. You can’t go wrong with some ribbon in your hair. I don’t really use a lot of makeup as I personally don’t think I really need it, so I just put on some mascara and lip gloss. Mum told me that the school will tell you to take your makeup off if you have any on, even though I know that’s not the case. Better to be safe than sorry I guess. I walked downstairs and grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl on the bench and started munching away. So yummy, I thought to myself. Apples are by far my favourite fruit. I was just about to chuck the apple core at the still squawking birds (yes, I am so nice) when mum walked into the kitchen.

“Don’t do that! What did they do to you?” She said, a small smile on her lips.

“Good morning to you to mum, it’s so nice to see you too!” I said fake over excitedly, giving her a hug.

“Sorry I couldn’t drive you to school today. You understand how busy I am with work, don’t you?”

“It’s fine mum, honestly. I’m in year 12 now, not year 2.”

“Hmm, you right.” She said, “It feels like just yesterday I was driving you to your first day of grade 2. Anyway, if you don’t hurry up, you’re gonna be late for the bus!” She gave me a kiss on the cheek and hurried me out the door. I quickly walked to the bus stop and sat down, checking the time on my phone. 8:02am it read. The bus should be here any minute. I decided to text my best friend Adele while I was waiting. I knew she would’ve just finished school, and, knowing her, she would be straight onto her phone to see if she got any messages since the last time she checked it which would’ve been only a few minutes earlier.

To: Adele

Miss you so much! Waiting for the bus atm, about to go to my first day of school :/ xx

I got a reply just as the bussed pulled up. I decided that I should probably check it once I was on the bus, so that it doesn’t drive off without me. Since I was one of the last stops and there was hardly any seats left on the bus, I had to sit next to a random person. Great, just great. I thought to myself. Well, I’m not sitting next to the year 8 weirdoes. Guess I’ll just have to sit next to this guy. He was sitting a few rows from the back. He looked up at me and he looked so... familiar. I was trying to figure out where I’d seen him before when I realised two things. One was that I was standing there in the middle of the aisle looking like a total weirdo, and two was that I had been staring at this boy for quite some time now.

“Uh, can I sit here?” I said, embarrassed.

“Sure!” He said, smiling. That voice, it’s like I’ve heard it before. Where have I seen this boy?  I thought to myself while sitting down. I stuck my headphones in and started listening to some All Time Low, my favourite band. It was then that I heard the boy that I was sitting next to talk to me.

“What are you listening to?” He said.

“All Time Low” I replied with a small smile.

“Hey, I love All Time Low! Wait, I haven’t seen you on this bus before. I’m guessing this is your first day here?”

“Yeah, it is my first day. I just moved here from England, actually.”    

“Oh cool! But if you are from England, why do you have an Australian accent?” He asked, sounding like a 4 year old. I laughed a little.

“I moved there when I was 7 for my dad’s work.” I replied.

“My best friend moved to England when I was 7, believe it or not.”

“What a coincidence.” I said, smiling.

“Well, here’s our stop. I guess we better get off before the bus leaves with us still on it.” He said, standing up. We walked off the bus and headed to the main office. Apparently I had to get my timetable from there. We quickly got my timetable and headed for my first class, which was English. He looked at my timetable and he started smiling.

“Hey, we are in the same English class. Oh and look, we are in the same History and Music class as well!” He said, pointing at the different classes on my timetable. We were just about to walk into class when he asked me a question.

“Wait, I don’t even know what your name is yet! What is it?” He asked.

“Indiana, but my friends just call me Indi. And yours?”

“Ashton, Ashton Irwin.”
