You are new at school. You moved here after your parents decided they wanted a change.
Unfortunately, you don't know much about your school or the area. You hoped that maybe a friend would be nearby but you're completely alone.
Sighing, you make your way into the yard and wait near the car park. You were told that your guide would be coming to meet you there.
Apparently, you are in every class with your guide which is why you were paired with them. The school wanted to make sure you didn't get lost.
After a while, a dirty blonde boy in a short sleeved shirt makes his way over to you and waves a little at you, offering you a nervous smile.

His backpack is slung over his shoulders and you notice that he smiles with a little squint.
"Hey, sorry I'm late, I got caught up," He says with a smile, "I'm Ashton. Ashton Irwin."
"Y/N." You say quietly.
"Shy?" He asks.
You nod and say, "A little."
"Don't be, I don't bite," He laughs, "I've been told that you're stuck with me for a while so I want to apologise in advance."
You smile at the confident guy stood in front of you and nod again.
"I'm sorry if I'm a little nervous," You say, "I don't like change."
He nods in understanding, "It's tough."
He starts walking so you assume that you should walk with him. As he walks, he talks a little to you but you're feeling quite overwhelmed.
Not only is it your first day at a new school, you have been forced to be accompanied by this zealous, bubbly guy who physically radiates confidence and positivity. It's a little intimidating to be honest.
"Hey, you good?" He asks.
You nod and he smiles, "Cool. They put your locker next to mine. My friends should be there now, I'll introduce you to them."
More people. Despite being polite, you secretly hope that the others aren't quite as happy as Ashton.
"How many friends?" You ask timidly.
"Just three, Luke, Calum and Michael." He says.
You nod, something that you've realised that you do quite frequently, and walk into the building with him.
Ashton points over to three guys who stand in front of a locker laughing.
One is wearing all black, except for his plaid flannel, and has blue hair styled crazily. Another has distressed jeans on and tanned skin. The third has a quiff and a nirvana shirt on.
