I stare at the paper on the bulletin board, my vision blurry. I was daydreaming and I was aware of it.
I shook my head, looked down, rubbed my eyes and looked at the paper again. I couldn't think straight because this is my first time changing schools.
My previous school was the school I attended since I was in nursery. I was with my friends, Ell, Matilda, and that other bitch.

"Don't replace us, okay?" Ell says, as she and Matilda hug me tight.

As I snap back to reality, some people came running through the hallway. I was going to look at the direction where they were running but I decide to focus on myself.
I sighed to myself and tried to look for my name on some papers. Suddenly, I felt presence behind me. I turn around, I jump in fright. It was just a guy. His hands were on his back. He wore a hoodie and the hood was on his head.
I put my hand to my chest. "you scared me."
"You sure get scared easily." He said, with a smile. He took out his left hand for me to shake. "Ryan, Ryan Kuzakura." I awkwardly shake it. "Tamara, just Tamara."
Ryan is very thin, very feminine. He also had rosy cheeks and had a sweet smile.
"Why are we even introducing ourselves like we're James Bond." Ryan says, with a laugh. A laugh that's contagious. I was about to laugh but then I was cut by more people running.
"Where's your class?" He asks me. And I shrug in reply.
He puts his finger on the paper began scanning for my name, I guess. On the paper, you could see the names of students with their assigned classrooms.
As I watch his eyes go left, right, up and down, more girls start running towards the same direction as the last girls. People screams and shouts go louder and louder as I cover my ears.
Ryan turns to me and smiles, "You're in my class. Wait, I'll just answer a call." He says before walking to the direction where the people were running.
"Bye, I guess?" I said to myself. I didn't even hear a ringtone going off but oh well. I felt the urge to follow him. So I did.
He went to the stairs but he stopped on the start of the stairs and looked around if nobody was around. I was at the outside of the restroom which was beside the stairs but there was this wall that lets me hide my body.
I thought to myself, "What if I scare him for revenge?"
A phone rang, I quickly put a hand on my pocket but it wasn't vibrating. I take a peek on Ryan, he was the one who had the phone call.
He started walking up the stairs. I slowly walked towards the stairs, leaning on the wall as I walked.
"Yeah, Yeah. Just tell me okay?" Must be his girlfriend.
"No one's here, for some reason." Oh shit boy, didn't realize that it was time for classes sooo that's why people aren't here? Why was Ryan not even worrying about being late-
"There was a fight? Like just minutes ago? That explains people running and shouting. Involving him? He got beaten up?! Seriously. Are you fucking serious? He's in our-" he stopped talking and quietly walked down the stairs. "I'll be right back." He said to the phone as he pressed end on the screen.
He furrowed his eyebrows as he walks down the stairs. I hid again. As he passed the restroom, I quietly walked behind him and tickle him at both sides of his waist.
He jumps and turns to look at me. I look at him with victory, "That's for scaring me a while ago. Aaaaand... I found your tickle spot!"
He chuckles, "let's go to class?"
"sure."
