Valda's POV:
Hullo. My name is Valda Vila Valdez. VVV. I was going to Goode for the first time hoping to see my little brother, Leo. I am older than him by ten months, so we are both sixteen. We have the same schedule. Anyhow I walked into homeroom and sat down.
"Class, we have a new student," the teacher said," Well come up here." I stood up and walked to the front of the room. I saw Leo's eyes click with recognition.
"Hullo," I started," I am Valda Vila Valdez, and I am sixteen. Um, my dad is not around and my mom is dead. I have a little brother by ten months, my favorite colors are red, orange, yellow, and black. Er, this is my first time in a public school, and I would like all of the attention on me to go, POOF!" Everyone laughed at my comment and I sat down at my seat. Leo came and sat down next to me.
"Is it really you VV?" he asked.
"Yes, it is LV," I replied. He grinned.
"Let me see your schedule." I gave it to him and his grin turned into a full blown smile. I have my baby brother back and life is happy.
