"Hi Cammi. I'm Mr. Mathis, Beacon Hills High Schools principal." I tall man says as he shakes my hand. I shake his hand back politely and smile slightly. "Hm. I can tell you are nervous." He says looking. "Well its my first time at a new school so. And to add on that, I haven't stayed with my family for like half of my life so." I tell him quickly and nervously. "Well lets take is step by step then." he says as he points towards the entrance of the school." I walk towards the door and he follows me in. "Here is your class schedule and I'll show you to your next class." He hands me a piece of paper with 7 periods. "Your next class is 3rd period. You have Social Studies with Mr. Belleau. He leads me out the door and down the hall.

"So who read the homework last night?" Mr. Belleau asks. "Mr. Dunbar, what was last nights chapter about?" He asks Liam. "Ughh.." He replies. "Did you read the homework last night?" "Yea. Its was about.. umm.." He says as Mr. Mathis and I walk through the door. "Mr. Belleau, You have a new student." He says as we walk in. "Ah. Yes. Cammi Yukimura. A pleasure to meet you. Your dad has told me a lot about you." He says as he pulls out some papers and hands them to me. "He has?!" He nods at me. "He has." I say softly. "Well I'll leave you all to it then." Mr. Mathis says as he steps out the classroom. "So Cammi, why don't you tell us about yourself?" Mr. Belleau asks. "Well my name is Cammi Yukimura, obviously. Um, my dad is the US history teacher here. And um, I just moved from Taiwan." "You didn't live with your parents?" Mr. Belleau asked. "Um, no. I stayed with my biological grandparents since I was about 8." I tell him and the whole class. "Did you travel anywhere out of the country?" He asks. "Well I went to France for 2 years as a transfer student." "Well perfect timing. We are about to get into our French unit in World History. Well here is the class curiculum and sylabus. You can take a seat there right behind Mr. Dunbar."

"Dammit." I whisper as I try to open my locker. "Is it jammed?" A guy from behind asks. "Um yeah. Well at least I think it is." I say trying to act as normal as possible. "Here." He hits the locker right under the lock. "Try it again." I smile timidly and redo my combo. The locker opens and squeaks a little. "Thanks." "No problem." He says and stares at me for a little. "I'm Liam by the way." He says finally breaking the slience. "Well, its nice to meet you Liam. I'm Cammi." I reply. "I know." He replies. "Hi Cammi, Liam. I need to talk to you real quick. Meet me at dads classroom." Kira says interupting the awkward conversation I was having with Liam. "Oh and Liam, Scott needs to talk to you." She says as she turns around. "Well I gotta go. But um if you don't have anyone to sit with during lunch, you can sit with me and my friends." He says as he taps my arm. "Uh, thanks. Well then I might see you at lunch then." I say smiling. "See ya then." I shut my locker and we both walked away smiling.
