You sighed as you walked out of your house, in all honesty you didn't want to go to your new school, but there was no way you couldn't go, your dad had gotten a promotion, and you were both instructed to move states, and that's how you ended up here, at your new bus stop, going to a new school, in a whole new area.

You moved from California to New York, and quite frankly you weren't used to the colder weather, it didn't seem like you were going to get used to it either. You waited patiently for the bus to come, hugging your body as the cold air blew in your direction, even with your over-sized sweater you were still cold, you suddenly regretted wearing a skirt and knee high socks. You let out another sigh of relief once you saw the bus driving over to you in the distance.

You got on hesitantly, not knowing what to expect, you remember how crazy busses were in the 8th grade, but now you were in the 11th, and you would usually walk to school if it weren't for the cold weather and the distance from your house to the school. You sat down in the nearest open seat there was, which was quite literally in the back, you didn't wat to sit next to another kid since they were all so big, and you were short, and tiny. You were intimidated.

You scooted near the window, putting your backpack next to you, so no one would sit in the seat next to you, but that idea was quickly shot down when the bus got onto the next stop, kids piled onto the bus, and were forced to go to the back where you were, and obviously you were asked to move your bag.

The kid who sat next to you was at least 5'7 he wasn't too tall, and he wasn't too short, that still didn't mean he wasn't intimidating, because he was. He was taller then you, and anyone taller then you is automatically intimidating. Besides the scary part, the guy was actually pretty attractive, he was long hair that went down to his shoulders, it was slightly wavy, it got curlier near the bottom, and a few loose strands scattered along the frame of his face, he had somewhat of a stubble, and tan skin. He looked pretty normal despite the major bags he had under his eyes, tho overall, pretty normal.

You glanced at him once more before looking down at your phone, and pulling your skirt down, it was a habit of yours when you got nervous.

" you new here? " you heard a voice, you tensed up slightly at the sound of it before turning to your left, only to see the boy next to you facing you. You immediately started getting more nervous.

" ah- y-yeah " you replied anxiously, you peered up at him, with him being 5'7, and you being at most 4'11, there was quite a difference in height.

He tilted his head slightly " you seem nervous, dont worry I'm not gonna bite ya, at least I don't think i will? " he smiled at you, causing you to giggle a little, that and the comment he made.

" m'name's alexander, but everyone calls me lexi, or alex, it's nice to meet you...? " he stated the last part as if it was a question, dragging out the 'u' in you.

" y/n- my name is y/n " you confirmed, your anxiety was slowly, but surely fading away, something about this guy made you feel comfortable, he seemed nice, and chill overall.

" cool, so since you're new i'm guessing you don't know your way aroundhe school, huh? "

You nodded slowly in response.

" alright, i'll show you around then, do you have your schedule? " he questiond, eyes trailing down to your backpack, you once again, quickly nodded, unzziping the bag before you started searching around in it, you eventually pulled out the slip of paper, and handed it over to him. He took it, and looked through it before finally speaking up again.

" alright so, you only have like 2 classes with me, but that's cool cus i'm pretty sure at least one of my friends is in each of your classes! " he looked at you, a bright genuine smile plastered on his face. You tilted your head slightly.

" your friends? " you said as if it was a question.

" yeah! i've got plenty of them, so i'll introduce you to them once we get off the bus, I'm sure they'll like you, they're very accepting people so you don't have to worry! "

you laughed nervously at the thought of meeting so many new people in one day, but what would you expect? You were at a new school after all, so it was bound to happen anyway.

-

you practically hid behind alexander, it looked that way anyway, you followed him after you two got off the bus, and since you were so short it was hard to see you behind the boy, he glanced behind his back to make sure you were still there, you looked up at him and gave a small smile, he told you he was leading you to your locker, and surely enough, he did.

" alright, so since you know where your locker is, i'll be over there- " he pointed at a few lockers across from yours " come to me once you're done, i'll lead you to your next class " you nodded quickly before he walked away, with that, you started putting most of your things in your locker, except a textbook, your binder, and a pencil, of course.

Once you turned around from your locker, you quickly spotted alexander surrounded by a group of people, there were four girls, all in different colors, one wore red, the other wore pink, another one of them wore blue, and the last, and shortest girl wore yellow, they were all so pretty and it slightly made you more hesitant to go over there.

The girls werent the only ones there, there were 3 guys as well, one of them was,,, big, he looked like he worked out often, the other was tall, he had a bun, and a few loose strands falling out, his stubble was neatly groomed, and well grown, he was really cute. The last boy had wild curly hair that fell to his shoulders, he had freckles scattered all over his face, and somewhat of peach fuzz, he was hot, all of them were hot.

The amount of people that surrounded him made you nervous, you know he said they were accepting, and all...but you weren't exactly too sure, alexander seemed so sure, but you didn't exactly know these people. You shook all the thoughts of these people being horrible out, and decided to take alexander's word. You hesitantly started walking over to the group, Alexander spotted your small frame walking through the crowd of kids, he smiled and waved you over causing the others to look at your direction.

all those eyes on you gave you anxiety, nevertheless you shook it off, and continued walking, you stopped near them, not wanting to get in the way of any of them, you didn't want to give a bad first impression by getting in their way.

" guys! this is y/n, she's new, and she's in like at least in one of your classes "

" hey y/n, it's nice to meet you! my name is eliza! but you can call me liza', or liz! " the one in blue chirped with a smile on her face, her whole demeanor was calming, you smiled back at her.

" I'm margarita! But you can call me peggy! it's nice to meet you! " the short girl in yellow held out her hand, you took it, smiling at her as well, she seemed really cheerful and optimistic, you liked that.

" y/n, nice to meet you, I'm Angelica, but i'll let you call me angie, whatever suites you " the tall girl in pink stated, a small smile on her face, you gave her one back.

" maria, its nice to meet you " the last girl, in red said, she seemed a little shyer then the other three, you gave her a small reassuring smile, she gave you one back once you did that.

You turned to your left to be met with the bigger guy you spotted, you jumped slightly, intimidated by his stature.
" name's hercules! It's great to meet you y/n! " he let out a hearty laugh as he held out his hand, you took it only to be shaken up by him shaking your hand, he had a strong grip on your hand, and he quite literally made you sway, you looked up at him and gave a nervous laugh, nevertheless it was a laugh.

You turned to the next boy, the tall one, he wore a kind smile, you blushed slightly, god he was cute. " I'm marquis, Lafayette, whichever you wanna call me, it's nice to see new kids around here, we don't get any often " he stated, with a french accent, this surprised you, he didn't look like he was foreign, he fit in very well. You let out a shy giggle.

The last man, the one with freckles, quite literally pushed lafayette out of the way, he held out his hand for you eagerly, you giggled slightly at his action, seeing laf glare at him from the corner of your eye. You took the boy's hand, shaking it lightly " I'm john laurens, they call me johnny tho, " he shrugged " you can call me whatever you would like, it's nice to meet you y/n " he flashed a pretty smile, making you do the same.

" alright alright, the bell's about to ring, let's get to class "
