(Emma)

It's Friday and I am on my way to school with Rach and Rune as Rach's mum had offered to give us all a ride today. Although, school was only a mile away from my house, a car ride was more preferable than walking any day.

As the car sped past the peaceful houses with big front gardens, I sat in the back with Rune, looking out the window and thinking about all that had happened the whole week. I couldn't believe that it was Friday already.

In the past one week, I did make some friends. In most of my classes there was one or the other person I talked to. And surprisingly, some were even boys which was something I was proud of myself for considering my awkwardness in interacting with boys and all. But as of now my favourite among all the them were Rachael and Rune who were there with me most of the week.

On Tuesday, I went to shopping for my new room with Rach. It was fun, even though she made me buy tons of unnecessary stuffs. After walking in and out of most of the stores in the mall, we finally went to the food court and had some pizza where we talked and got to know so much about each other.

Although Rachael's family was from Manchester, she was born and brought up in Holmes Chapel. Her dad was a business man and her mum a sheriff in the local police station. She says, all she wants to do after high school is to get out of Holmes chapel and go and live in London.
When I tell her that I have lived most of my life in the busy atmosphere of London and am really enjoying the peaceful environment of the countryside here, she said she can't believe it as all her life, she had dreamt of living in London and adopting it's posh life style.

The next day, all three of us gathered at Rune's house to do some homework, but obviously we end up in his living room watching a couple reruns of the friends.
From there we went to have some ice cream and then I headed back home.

Yesterday, I decided to set up my room as finally my bed and desk were unpacked and the mattress and the covers were brought up to my room. Rune offered to help and I accepted it, but when we asked Rach, she said she had some errands to run for her mum. So, it was just me and him for the rest of the evening. And with his help, I was able to transform my new room into a liveable space. During all the pushing and pulling of my bed around the room, I had my first real conversation with Rune. I learned that he was a natural redhead and that he took great pride in it. He told me that he was on the school soccer team that didn't surprise me as he was tall and had a masculine figure. He said he was planning to do a management course after high school.

After my room was set, my mom invited him for dinner but he politely declined it saying that he had promised his mum to be home for dinner. So, after he went home we had dinner and I went to my newly made bed.

Rune nudging my shoulder as the car pulls up into the school driveway pulls me back into reality. Once we all climb out of the car, we say our goodbyes to Mrs. Stones and head towards the enterence.

As we are walking towards the locker room, Rune asks me, "you are coming to the party right."

A party? I didn't know about any party? So I ask him, "Which party?"

"You didn't know?"

"No"

"Oh, ok. There's this guy in junior form who is throwing a party today to celebrate the first week of classes. It's a kinda tradition here."

"Oh"

"So you're going right?"

"Err... I don't think so."

All of sudden Rachael speaks up, "What? But why?"

"Umm.... it's just that, a party isn't my kinda thing. I really don't see the fun in getting drunk and then grinding on someone to some horrendous music."

"Hey! Those aren't the only things one do in a party" defends Rach

"Yeah, and I don't even want to think about the other things they do there." I reply rolling my eyes.

"You know I didn't mean such things, you dirty girl." She reiterates with a laugh.

"Whatever" I say laughing too.

By this time, we had reached our lockers and were taking out our books for the first class.
As I turn around I feel a thud against the locker beside me and I look to my left to see four boys pinning a squirrel like boy against the locker next to me. This frightens me and I jump back with a squeal making all my books to fall from my hand.
The sudden noise makes one of the boys to look up towards me locking his eyes with mine and I see that it's that same Harry guy.
The angered look in his eyes scares me even more so I crouch down and gather my books. Then stand up and rush out of the room as fast as possible. When I reach the corridor I see Rach waiting for me so I join her and walk to class making a mental note to avoid Harry and his group as much as possible.

The day passes by easily and in no time I am on my way back home with Rach and Rune. From the last ten minutes they are trying there best to convince me to join them for the party. But the only answer I have for them is a big 'No'.
Living in London, I have heard enough about these high school parties.And none of the things I've ever heard of them has made me think that these could be any good. So I have stayed as far way from these kinda things as possible. And nothing in Holmes Chapel is gonna make me change my mind.

"Please, please, please Emma. I promise you this is gonna be real fun". Says Rachael.

"That's ok Rach, but I really don't wanna go."

"But why? This is your first week here. You really need to celebrate that. Moreover you are in a desperate need to socialize."

"I know, but there's is so much homework and I really don't want to turn them in late, Rach" i said, not that i actually care about homeworks but dude i desperately needed an excuse.

"Yeah, but you have the whole weekend to do that, dude."

"Yeah, but..."

"See, if you are afraid of getting drunk, then I promise you don't have to. Just be with us all the time and may be dance a little. And that's it."

Then we take a turn and finally we reach my house. I some how wish them good bye and enter my house and close the door, releasing a sigh of relief.
