New Kid

First Day

"Bye mom!"

"Bye sweetheart be safe on your way."

"I'll be fine, I have to go see you after school. so as usable I get the book I'm reading at the time. Right now I'm reading The Giver, so far it's my favorite. I grabbed my skateboard and backpack walked outside and shut the door behind me. I noticed that there is a guy my age walking in front of me but I just start reading. all of a sudden my skateboard stops and I stumble to the ground. I try to get up but my ankle hit a rock and it literally feels like it's going to pop. The guy in front of me heard my fall and comes back to help me. "Thanks. I'm Victoria by the way."

"Are you ok?"

"Yea it's just. My ankle hit that rock."

"Ouch where are you going exactly? Oh by the way I'm Brad."

"Nice to meet you and I'm going to Riverside high school."

"Oh cool I go there too, you must be new."

"Yea." I was so embarrassed because he was literally holding me up as we went to school. "Thanks again."

"Don't mention it."

"Brad! What the hell do you think your doing with that new kid!" I'm guessing that's the head cheerleader or homecoming queen. she ran up to is and pushed me away, so naturally I kept my balance but it was hard with my ankle.

"Dylan! Here Victoria let me help you."

"Thanks again."

"Brad get your hands off that new kid now!"

"That new kid's name is Victoria. Here let me help you get to your class. What do you have first."

"Homeroom."

"You know what I mean." He smiled at me.

"I have Mr.John."

"Oh cool so do I." We walked to homeroom together and we got there 3 minutes late.

"Brad and-"

"Victoria. I'm new and Brad was helping me around because I hurt my ankle on the way to school."

"Oh how nice of you."

"It was my pleasure to help" Brad looked at me as we both smiled.

"Ok you two sit. Dylan your late again."

"Oh I'm so sorry Mr.John but I had to walk alone and carry all of these heavy books because Brad was busy with the new kid."

"That is no excuse, so I will see you at 3."

"That's not fair Brad and the new kid were late too!"

"They were but Victoria hurt her ankle and can't walk fast so she and Brad are excused. Now sit down."

"Fine." She was so upset she sat in the opposite corner and stared at me the whole period.

"I think she's mad."

"It's fine she's just in a bad mood because I'm with you and not her. But I like it that way." I smiled at him as the bell rang. "Give me your schedule I will be your school guide the whole day."

"Thanks."

"It will be fun. This just got better."

"What?"

"We have the exact same schedule." Come on." Brad helped me the entire day. It was sweet but I new when lunch came I would be on my own. We were on our out of our last period before lunch as some big fat guy came up to us and pushed me to the ground, naturally I fell but I got right back up.

"What the hell was that for!"

"Oh I'm sorry princess did I push you."

"Come on Victoria." Brad tried to carry me away but just before he did, I might have wrestled the fat guy to the ground as if I was on a wrestling mat. The wrestling coach came to the 'fight' to see me on top of the burly fellow and Brad trying to pry me off.

"You have got some mad skills little lady. Here the wrestling team is having tryouts next week and we could use you." I got off the guy and took the flyer and Brad and I walked to lunch together. As we walked away I heard the coach say to the guy I tackled, "If she hurt you go to the nurses office for Pete sake!"
