I groan as I turn over in bed. I was not prepared for school to start again. But, knowing that my mom would force me to get ready, I unwillingly get up, leaving the warmth and comfort of my bed.

I still had an hour ahead of me, so I decided to take a long, warm shower. I wasn't mentally or physically prepared for my senior year, but I'm ready to leave this school. Hopefully this year goes by quickly.

"Crystal!". I turn around to see who was calling me, my lips curving into a smile when I see Dania. Before I can open my mouth to greet her, she collides into me, her arms wrapping tightly around me. "I missed you", I mumbled into her shoulder. She pulls away with a huge smile, "I missed you more. How was Turkey?", she tugs at my arm so we're walking into the building. "It was great, so many hot guys!!". She squeals, "did you get any numbers?". I scoff, causing her to laugh and lightly shove me. We walk through the halls, greeting people as we see them.

"How was Lebanon?"

"It was great. I had a lot of fun". She tells me about her aunt's wedding and all the food she ate while she was there while we stand beside the fountain, waiting for the bell to ring.

A few minutes later, the bell rings. "Show me your schedule", Dania demands as she pulls out hers. She frowns as she compares our schedules, "we only have 3 classes togethe-". The sound of the final bell interrupts her, causing her to take off in the other direction. "See you at lunch!", she yells before disappearing.

I quickly run towards my first class, getting yelled at by a few teachers for running in the halls.

When I enter the class, there's only one seat left. The seat was between a new girl and Raine. "Hey Raine", I smile at her as I sit down. She returns the smile and lightly waves at me, "how was your summer, Crystal?". "It was great, what about you?". Raine and I weren't close friends, but I liked her. She was the head of the cheerleader squad, but she was incredibly sweet. "You're tanner", someone says as they place their hand on my shoulder, and I look up to see who it was. "Hey Ryan", I smile at him, "yeah, I spent a lot of my summer out in the sun", I explain. The teacher comes in and Ryan goes back to his seat, giving me a warm smile before doing so. Ryan's smile was one of the first things that attracted me to him. But in March, I decided that I wasn't really happy with him and ended our relationship. We're still friendly to each other, but things are a bit awkward sometimes.

Mrs. Parks asks us about our summer, and immediately gets started with the lesson, she was never one to waste time. I mentally groan, silently counting the minutes until the bell rings.

After lunch, Dania and I walk to study hall together. Suddenly, Dania extends her arm in front of me so I stop. "What is it, Dani?".

"I have to go to the bathroom. I'll meet you in class". I nod and continue down the hall. Suddenly my ears are filled with the sound of someone playing guitar. Whoever it was must be an expert, because they were playing it so beautifully. I stop outside of the band room and listen, the sound of the guitar flowing through me. The strumming stops and I frown. Just as I'm about to leave, I get a message from Dania

Dani👯❤️💯: Please tell me you have a pad...

I chuckle as I type a reply. I've learned to always have a pad with me, since Dania always forgets to bring her own

Crystal: yeah, I'll be there in a minute

I quickly jog to my locker, and slip a pad into my back pocket. When I turn back around, I see a boy coming out the band room, a guitar case on his back. The boy must be new, I've never seen him around here. I contemplate whether or not I should ask him if he was the one playing the guitar, deciding that I should.

"Hey!", I yell as I run towards him. The boy turns around, startled. "Um.. hi".

"Was it you?", I ask. He furrows his eyebrows in confusion. "The one playing guitar. Was it you?".

His face instantly goes red, "yeah..", he replies, looking at his shoes.

"It was beautiful"

He lifts his head and smiles at me, "thank you"

I exchange the smile, and then I remember Dania waiting for me in the bathroom. "Oh! I have to go, but I'll see you around, uh..".

"Shawn", he tells me. "Right. See you, Shawn"

I quickly bolt down the hall, already expecting Dania to yell at me for being late.
