29!

"Keira! Keira! You made it into Hunter! Yippee!" Yelled Lin as he entered my room.

"What?" I said as I groggily rise from the bed.

"You made it into Hunter!" He says flashing me a smile.

"Yay!!" I smile jumping out of bed into Lin's arms. He Embraced me and planted a kiss on my head.

"I'm so proud of you." He says.

"Here's your gym bag, and backpack, and a mug of coffee now get changed we gotta go!" beamed Vanessa as she handed me a travel mug of coffee.

My foster parents leave the room and it's just me and my nerves. What if Amelia, Georgie and Alex aren't there? What if I have to sit by myself at lunch? I push these thoughts to the back of my head and slip on some leggings (A/N, yes ik that Hunter is a private school and they have a uniform but I'm lazy and i want my character to be comfy cos i where a uniform and etc etc, just live with my bad and unrealistic writing), one of Lin's shirts that I stole and lastly my 'Talk Less Smile More' sweater which I got about a month ago from Leslie. I picked up my bag and gym bag and head out into the hallway where Lin, Vanessa are waiting for me.

When I walked into Hunter, I immediately recognized Georgia, or Georgie, or George? I'll have to clarify with her later. I guess she recognized me too because she ran up to me.

"Hey! Keira right?"
"Yeah, you remembered! Is it Georgie or George?"
"Everyone calls me George around here, but it's your preference really."
"George it is then."
"Remember Amelia and Alex? They're just over here. Our lockers are all together. What number are you?"
"52."
"Sweet! Alex's 53, I'm 54 and Amelia's 55! I'll take you there."

We walk to the lockers and after a few tries I finally get my lock open. When I unzip my bag, the zipper gets stuck and my books fly everywhere. I reach down to get them and a hand reaches mine at the same time. I look up and my eyes meet Alex's. We share an awkward stare and I manage to croak out a tiny "Hi." While I'm frozen in embarrassment, I hear George laughing. Alex helps me up and I can tell he's been blushing.

"Chem, huh," he smirks.I realize that was the book I— he — we picked up.
"Yeah, fifth period with Rodney."
"Awesome, me too!"

He looks like he's about to say something, but the bell rings and cuts him off.

"Well I'm heading off to history. You?"
"I've got PE."
"Me too!" George pipes in.
"Alright then, see you around, Keira!"

George leads me down a long hall. It's pretty deserted because everyone's in class.

"Are we late?"
"Don't worry. We'll tell them you're new and you got lost."
"Okay."
"On another topic, have you noticed how much Alex likes you?!"
"What? No. Not me."
"But he does, I talked to him."
"No way! Okay how about you. You have a crush on any guys here?"
"Mm... not guys."
"George are you..?", I hesitate, not wanting to offend her."I'm bisexual."
"Wow. That's a good wow by the way. You're so confident! I totally support you."
"Anyways about the crushes. Don't tell a single soul, but—"
"Cross my heart hope to die stick a needle in my eye."
"Wow. Damn you're serious girl."
"I get it from Vanessa, I guess."
"Well, I kinda maybe have a crush on Amelia. But she's totally straight."
"Aw. You're secret's safe with me. Pinky promise."

We hooked pinkies and walked into the gym.

"Sorry we're late Ms. Jones. This is Keira. She's new and she was lost. Come on, change room's this way."

I'd say I'm pretty confident with my body, and so it seems George so I change into my mid-thigh Nike shorts and one of Lin's big Star Wars shirts I stole. Today already feels like a great day. I've made three great friends, one of which, according to George, has a crush on me (!), I haven't made a fool of myself, and my anxiety's been pretty good! I'm so happy I'm here.

A/N: Hi everyone! It's dream_katcher again. Nat was busy today so I finished the chapter for her. I'm so excited about George! Hbu? Please comment and vote Nat is such a sweet person and really deserves them
