The alarm clock rang as I groaned slowly turning over slamming down the off button. My dad banged hard on the door. "Katie! Get up, it's your first day of school!" I slowly got out of bed walking over to the mirror. I rubbed my eyes trying to get the make-up off from last night.

I plugged in my hair curler and dug through my shirts. "Ah, here it is." I put on my Nirvana crop-top and a red flannel. Grabbed some black , ripped, skinny-jeans and put on my black combat boots. As I finished curling my hair I put on my black fedora. Then put on black eye liner and went downstairs. 

"Hey Dad." I said as I grabbed a pop-tart and sat down.

"Good mornin'. You look nice today."

"Thanks." I grabbed my IPod and headed out the door into the big city of New York. "Here we go." I whispered to myself taking a big breath of the city air.Waiting for the walk signal to turn on seemed like forever. I couldn't wait to get to school. As I waited I plugged in my head-phones and started to listen to Antivist by Bring Me The Horizon.

The light finally turned. I walked across the cross walk. This went on for about five blocks until I finally reached the subway. I shuffled through songs on my Spotify, waiting for the subway to come pick my up. As well as some other kids. The subway came and we all scrambled on to it. It was packed. After walking the rows awhile I finally found a seat next to a pregnant woman and a red-neck.

I kept looking through my songs trying not to draw attention to myself. I stopped at Don't Fall Asleep At The Helm by Sleeping With Sirens. One of my favorites.

"That's one of my favorite songs by Sleeping With Sirens."

I looked up and noticed a tall, skinny, teenager with shaggy hair. He smiled at me. 

"Mine too." I said with a smile.

"Mind if I listened?"

"No, not at all." I handed him one of my headphones and we listened to music the rest of the way, not saying a word to each other.

It turns out he has a really amazing music taste! Same as me. And he's also very cute.Ugh. I hope we go to the same school.

My stop came and I stood up grabbing the headphone out of his ear. He stood up as well.

"First day?" He asked with a smirk.

I nodded back at him.

"Me too. Hey, I never caught your name. I'm Alex."

"I'm Katie."

"Awesome name." He said with excitement.

"Wow really? Haha, thanks."

He smiled at me. "Yeah really!" He nudged his shoulder with mine. Could he be any cutter? Wow.

We began to walk to school together and told each other which classes we had. We have English, Math, and Science together! As well as the same lunch period. My first day in New York in a new school and I already made a friend! He is just so nice too!

We arrived at the school and I had no idea where to go. Luckily my first period was Math. We walked into the classroom and sat in the way back next to each other.
