(Dayna's POV)
It's been a week since we moved and now me and my sister are starting our first day at our new school, Blakely High School. I put on my jacket and grab my bookbag and phone and my mom calls for us. I walk down the ladder that leads to my room before carefully letting it back up, but my sister bumps into me and it slams shut. I mutter "Excuse you." She just scoffs and walks to the kitchen. I silently follow her and my mom gives us our paperwork that we have to give to the office and my sister grabs a poptart and hands me one. We walk to the car with my mom and I get in the back seat and tap my foot as we drive to school. My mom drops us out and we tell her goodbye and walk into school, going to the office and turning in our paperwork.
We were assigned people to show us around, my sister got a girl who's her age and I nervously pick at my sleeves and the receptionist looks at me, smiling softly "Aiden will be here soon, he's your age and he's the only kid who has all the same classes with you." I nod quietly and wait for Aiden to show up. A few moments later he walks in and apologizes for being late, I notice a small bruise on his cheek but I stay quiet until he approaches me "Hi I'm Aiden! You're Dayna right?" I smile slightly and nod. He laughs and opens the door for me "C'mon I'll show you around." I grab my bookbag and walk out of the office, finding his cheerfulness contagious.
As he shows me around school, I start to notice the bruise more but continue to stay quiet, scared to bring it up in case he doesn't want to talk about it. I sigh and think to myself 'I've never been this nervous before..' I pick at my sleeves and tap my fingers against my leg, lost in thought until Aiden breaks me out of my daze when he pulls on my arm and says "Run."
