Today is my first day at my new school, Miami high. I moved to Miami from California a week ago when my dad was offered a promotion at his job. I didn't have any friends in my old school so I was bullied quite a bit , as I was considered a loner and a nerd because i got good grades. With that being said I didn't mind moving and I thought of it as a fresh start.

My mum pulled up outside of the school, she kissed my forehead, wished me luck and reminded me that I had to babysit my little sister after school before I got out the car and watched her drive away. Making my way towards the building I notice a couple of people looking my way probably wondering who I was.As it was still early there was very little students so I try to ignore them and make my way towards the office for my schedule.

I look around while walking down the corridor only to walk straight into someone, sending me stumbling to the ground. "wow dawg, you alright ?" looking up i see a beautiful girl with long blonde hair and a concerned expression on her face.

"y-yeah I'm okay , s-sorry" I reply, face burning from embarrassment. I quickly stood up and began collecting the contents from my backpack that spilled out on the floor during the fall. The tall blonde also reaches down to help, handing me everything once we stood up again.

" I'm Dinah by the way"  Dinah says , giving me a expectant look that made me confused because I realise and reply "C-Camila , I'm Camila" .

"I've not seen you before, did you just move here?" Dinah asks.

"Yeah, moved from California a week ago,it's my first day and I don't really know where I'm going." I reply without stuttering after realising she isn't a threat.

"well you're in luck because I happen to be free and I know my way around this place" Dinah laughs while raising her hands, gesturing to our surroundings.
"Hand me your schedule and I'll show you where your classes are."

"Oh, I don't actually have it yet, I was in my way to the office when I bumped into you." I say looking down with an embarrassed smile from recalling what happened.

"oh Alright I guess that's our first destination" she chuckles. We begin walking in the direction I presume the office is in when she turns to me.

"So I'm guessing you don't know anyone here?" Dinah half asks half states while still walking.

"Erm no, I haven't really gotten out since I moved here because of the....well....because of the moving." I say with an awkward chuckle.

"You know what!" Dinah exclaimed. "You seem cool, why don't you hang around me and my friends? They're real nice, I'll introduce you to them." She offered.

"Oh no no I'm ok, I don't want to bother you" I say self-consciously.

"I insist, you won't be a bother, we will love to have someone else to talk to in this school that isn't some stuck up jock or cheerleader" she jokes.

"Ok then" I say shyly as we come to we come to a stop outside a plain wooden door with the words 'office' written on it.

"Here we are" Dinah says while opening the door and walking inside. The room has white walls with some plants, paintings and a desk, sitting at that desk is an older women with grey shoulder length hair. "What's up Mrs Grey" Dinah asks.

"Ah Dinah I'm doing good thank you, what do I owe the pleasure of your company" Mrs Grey asks in a friendly tone.

"This is my new friend Camila, she's new, she is here to collect her class schedule" Dinah says while moving to the side to allow the women to see me.
I immediately zoned in on the word friend, I've not had a real friend in a long time but quickly snapped out of my trance when the Mrs Grey looked at me.

"Oh hello there, my name is Mrs Grey, it's nice to meet you Camila." She says

"Hello Mrs Grey, it's nice to meet you too." I reply.

She smiles at me kindly and proceeds to look for something on her desk. "Ah yes here it is." She says while holding a piece of paper. "Camila Cabello" she reads. "Here you go" she says handing it over to me.

Dinah quickly snatches the paper from her hand before I could get and it starts reading it.

"Hey you've got three classes with me, I'll need to check with the rest of the girls schedules" Dinah happily explains.

"Dinah Jane , don't be so rude, give Camila her schedule" Mrs Grey scolds light heartedly.

She hands me my schedule and I check to see the class I have; english, photography, music, maths and art.

"We both have English first period along with the others so we can meet with them before walking to English" Dinah smiles as we start to head out the office. "See ya later Mrs G" she says while turning around, while I give a polite small as a goodbye.
