SO !

The first morning is done ! Plus, class ends at 12 o'clock on mondays... It perhaps doesn't start so horribly. So, if I recap : the school looks amazing, the french teacher too, there's a few cute guys in the class and girls look pretty cool too. I didn't really talked with Emily, but it's only the first day, and I think she saw i was shy. We're definitely going to get along. Otherwise, i think I handled the language pretty well because I understood everything they told me and was able to answer. I didn't got lost neither since I'm waiting for my bus on the sidewalk, at the right spot. Well, you actually survived Clara, it's all good !

...Hey, wait, the two boys going down the stairs... BUT THEY ARE THE CUTE GUYS FROM MY CLASS ! Ok, what do I do ? If I have my headphones in my ears I'll look unsociable ! Yeah but if I don't have them I'll look like I'm standing there, not knowing what to do with my hands... Ok, let's put just one on and we'll see ! Wait, why are they walking toward here... They aren't coming for me, are they ? ARGH BREATHE CLARA FOR GOD'S SAKE ! Wait, now that I think about it, Elizabeth told me that everybody in my town take this bus, it's apparently the most practical. All right, false alert !

So it's now been 5 minutes that the two lads are talking while glancing at me... Or am I being paranoid?... No I'm not they just did it again... Whoa whoa woh, what do you think you are doing black-haired boy, why are you walking in my direction ? Ok, they're coming to talk to me, breathe, be relaxed and speak slowly ! But not too much or they're gonna think you're suffering from mental failures and if he c-

- Hi ? He says with the same half smile than earlier this day.

- Hi !

- Clara, isn't it ? I'm Calum, nice to meet you .

- Nice to meet you too.

- And I'm Michael, nice to meet you too. Did you like the school today ?

- Yes, a lot, thank you !

- You're from France, if I'm not wrong ? Asks Calum.

- It's exact ...

The bus is finally here ! Why do I suck so much at starting conversations?! Michael and Calum settle themselves in the middle of the vehicle. Let's find back my usual seat at the bottom of the bus. Wait, am I dreaming or did I heard my name? Indeed, they're both staring at me.

- Clara ? Michael insists. You can sit with us if you want ? Well, it's as you want...

- Hum, I don't want to impose myself ?

- You don't, Calum reassures me, laughing lightly and patting the spot next to him.

- Ok, thanks.

Yay I think he appreciates me! I smiled to him and he smiled back! Well-played Clara! WHO'S THE CHAMPION HERE?!

- France, so... And do your family like living here ? Michael starts again.

- To tell the truth, they stayed in France. I'm housed by friends.

- It must be hard to be that far from each other...

- I admit that it is...

It's true that I awfully miss my family... Merde, They're gonna think I'm depressed with my sad face and my eyes in the faraway ! Come on, show your prettiest smile, pull yourself together !

- But that's what Skype is here for! And I'm a tough cookie! Let's stop talking about me, what about you?

- Us?
