MACKENZIE'S POV:

Lauren, Annie, and Brynn were the Princesses.

The way Faith and Maddie described them made them seem like some sort of beautiful, and evil monsters. I don't see that at all. Sure, they do come out to be the least bit intimidating and somehow capture the attention of the entire school, but they've been nothing but friendly to me.

I know I've only known Lauren for 24 hours, and I haven't even known Brynn and Annie for a good ten minutes, but from what I saw in their actions, they can't be that bad. But then again, I haven't known them for long. You don't see someone's true colors on the first day of meeting them.

I quickly reverted my attention to the three girls, that I had to find out myself were the princesses. I don't know who came up with that kind of cringey name, they must have something wrong with them for sure (A/N: Fight me Zieg).

I could still feel the girl's corrupt glare piercing at my side, my body became even stiffer than it was before– if that is even possible. There's a sense of uneasiness when I'm around all three of them, a feeling I never got with Faith. I guess I grew to trust Faith pretty quickly. Lauren... not so much.

Lauren smiled at me, laying her phone down on the plain white table. For a school as decorative as this, I can't help but wonder why the tables in the cafeteria are so plain-featured. I smacked my thighs repeatedly, letting out a chilly breath. I had decided to not wear a jacket today, which was a mistake due to the cold weather outside.

"Do you like this school so far?" Lauren pondered.

I shrugged. "I mean, yeah, I guess."

"Not that much?" Lauren giggled. Somehow, when I'm with her, she's able to start a conversation so easily, and knows how to not shift it into the wrong direction. This is typical me, paying attention to small details people make in their everyday actions. I know it's weird, and can come out as a little freaky, but it says a lot about their personality.

Maddie had always been different than me. She was a more open-minded person and always went with the flow. She stays focused on the present, rather than what's going to happen in the future. She's the exact opposite of me. I'm absolutely terrified that someone will stab me in the back and use my secrets against me.

Anti-social habits and relative blood are really the only things Maddie and I have in common. Don't get me wrong, Maddie is a great sister. We rarely talk, but we did a little before the break. She had told me to be confident in myself, which is hard to do in high school. For the past two days, I've learned to fake it. People hardly notice the acting, and if they do, they ignore it and move on with their lives.

"No, no. I actually like this school more than my last," I explained. Lauren simply nodded, Brynn and Annie following along into the conversation. I cleared my throat, Maddie's words repeating in my head. Be confident. "So... how long have you three went to this school?"

"Since the ninth grade," Brynn answered almost immediately, clasping me with a fake smile right after.

We had made small talk for the rest of the lunchtime, the clock going by in a breeze. I hadn't even realized the time had gone by that fast until the bell rang. I got to know all three of them better, and vise versa. I spent most of the time observing their actions, paying attention to barely-noticeable things, as always.

Out of all three of them, Brynn seemed the least friendly. Either that or she just simply doesn't like me. Annie didn't talk much, but expressed her feelings when she needed to. Lauren seems to be the leader of the group. I can tell so easily, she's basically in charge of the other two, and makes all the decisions.

To me, she doesn't come across as the meanest one, that's more Brynn. Of course, I won't say anything. I know my lane and I don't want an incredibly feared clique out to get me. I'd rather befriend them than have them as an enemy.

The Princesses went their separate ways after the bell rang, leaving me around five minutes until the next bell chimes, announcing the third period. Five minutes would be more than enough time for me to get to the office, and get back up and get my things right on time. I've memorized about half of the first floor, so I now know where the office is located.

I sprinted to the office in a rush, the glares students previously gave me disappeared all of a sudden, I was invisible again. I'm either being glared at, or no one is aware of my excsitance– and I'm honestly fine with both. I don't like so much attention on me. But then again, everyone needs attention at times. It makes you feel wanted, which is a feeling I'm not very familiar with.

I stared down at my feet, my white shoes surprisingly still clean. Looking up, I see the school exit in front of me. Beside the exit doors, hang an entire wall of clipboards. It had caught my attention when I'd left to walk home last time; this is obviously the extra-curricular sign-up sheets.

I glanced around the place, cautious. The hallway was basically empty. I took this as an advantage, and read the entire list of clubs before anyone could see me.

There were clubs ranging from sports, to instrumental activities, and even as far as cooking. My last school rarely had anything like this. They had the typical school sports teams, but I'd never been good enough to make it into those. I get anxiety super easily, and I wouldn't be able to handle that kind of pressure.

My eyes land on the paper I was looking for, my face glowing up. Beaming, I snatch the clipboard as fast as I could and held onto it with my baby-like hands.

"School volunteer centre," I read the words on the paper. It took place on Wednesdays only, right after school was over. Faith had wanted me to sign up, so I did. This was a great way for me to socialize with the new friend I made, and hopefully even make more.

The main reason I signed up was to chat with Hayden about a specific person. Johnny interested me, and it killed me knowing I can't talk to him. I didn't even know where to start, but now I do. Hayden seems like a great place to begin. He's funny, approachable, and I've already had an encounter with him before.

I refuse to sit and do nothing but watch from a distance as my crush flirts with other girls. I've done it for the past four years, and I refuse to do it for any longer. I came to this school for a start, a new life. And that's what I'm going to do, bold moves are the only things that's going to get me noticed by him at this point.

Scribbling my name on the sign-up sheet without another thought, I bolt up the stairs and up to my new class.
