Alison

Don't be to nervous. Nobody knows you. You have done great. You can start all over, so breath in, out and lets go. I sighed and stepped onto the campus with shaky hands. I think I have never been this nervous ever in my life. You need to know that I haven't made the best experience with schools. I got bullied my whole life for being overweight but I wanted it to stop, to start all over, to just be normal. So I decided to change my life I lost a lot of weight, I'm still doing it because it isn't enough right at the moment but that's another story. I just want to be invisible, so no one will notice me or pick on me ever again. I was so happy when I got the scholarship here in Washington, so far away from home. Nobody knows me, so it's my turn to use this opportunity and I did.

All "Newbies" needed to gather at the big hall to get the first instructions. So I walked over to the huge group. It will probably be easy to be a nobody here, the group were sure one hundred of people. I looked at the floor fiddling with my feet, not really knowing what to do.

"Are you as nervous as me?" A girl asked me. She was really pretty and short, maybe about 5'2. Okay well I'm 5'5 but still. She had short brown hair which ended right above her collar bones and a really cute face. To sum it up she was really pretty, but not in an arrogant or bitchy way.

"Sorry?" I was kind of taken aback because I wasn't expecting anybody talking to me.

"I asked you if you are as nervous as me. Because I sure as hell am." she laughed.

"Yes. I mean kind of." I rambled not really knowing how to do small talk.

"But there's always something good,isn't it? I mean have you seen all these hot guys here? High school seems like kindergarten, I'm excited for the parties." she stared to fangirl and I couldn't quite follow. Do I look like I would be looking out for hot guys and parties? Have I really changed that much?

"Yes, it will probably be fun, right?" I started getting nervous, this conversations seems to become awkward.

"You aren't really talkative may that be?" she laughed.

"No that's not the point, it's just... much, I guess." I scratched my neck while becoming more shy. I didn't want to make her angry, scared to give her a reason to notice me even more.

"Yeah you're right. I just start rambling when I'm nervous sorry. But well, you looked kind of alone, so I thought you probably don't know anybody here, like me, and well want to get to know someone?" The last part sounded rather like a question.

I wasn't sure what to do. I didn't want anyone to notice me, to just be left alone. But on the other hand, having a friend would be nice to I guess. And I quite can't tell her to eave me alone without sounding offensive.

"Yes yes I'm happy, and all I'm just kind of... you know overwhelmed. It's cool here. I like it." Okay I do really suck at small talk. She kind of laughed at my miserable attempt to keep the conversation going. 

"By the way my name is Sammy. Well Samantha but nobody calls me like this beside my mum." she laughed again. I chuckled realizing I haven't even asked for her name.

"I'm Alison."

"That's nice. Where are you from?"

"A smaller village near New York, how about you?"

"California. Right from LA." She looked proud while saying it. I was kind of jealous, I mean LA is just... sick.

"Sick."

"Yeah right. But I wanted a change so Washington seemed nice, and big enough. I don't think I could life in a village. That would be my personal hell. I mean there's probably zero action." she laughed again. I giggled as well.

"You're sick." I shock my head smiling, happy that I felt so comfortable around her to even say something like this.

"Come on Ally the crowd is moving, I think the tour starts." She locked arms and wanted to go but I was frozen in my steps. How could she call me Ally, does she know? I haven't seen her before and I remember every face I'm sure about that, but how does she know. All that laughter and insults that I started to remember kind of made me feel dizzy. Will it be the same again? It just couldn't. I need to say something against it, don't let it start.

"Don't call me that." I stated but it didn't came out as stern as I hoped, my voice was way too shaky. 

"Okay? Well do you have another nickname or should I just say Alison?" Even though I didn't sound angry, I saw her feeling kind of bad and embarrassed. Nice way to go Alison.

"Well I don't care call me whatever you want but please not Ally. I ... Well I just don't like it." I tried to make it sound as polite as possible.

"How about Lis?" she asked smiling again. Thank god.

"That's nice. I like it." I smiled at her, thankful for her not asking questions why I looked like a deer in the headlights when she called me that. "But we need to catch up, let's go."
