Today was the first day of school. You were a bit nervous, but also excited. It was a fresh start, after all. You were handed your schedule, and noticed that you had history for first period. History was a subject you were a bit neutral on, you didn't love it, but you didn't hate it either. You guessed it wasn't a bad class to have first period. You looked around the class, seeing if anyone looked like they could be friend material. That's when you saw the person above. At first, you thought they were a girl, but then you heard them speak in a raspy, punkish voice. Frick, that was a boy! You felt a little stupid.

"Alright, class, we're gonna do role-call now." The teacher, Mrs. Rivens, shouted to the class. "I'll call your names in alphabetical order by last name. When you hear your name, say here. Tell me if I mispronounce your name or if you go by something else."

The teacher went through the list of names eventually getting to yours. You told her your name. (And you told her your nickname if you have one.) However, you were still waiting for that emo guy's name.

"Elliott Watson." Mrs. Rivens called.

"Here." The emo guy answered. Elliott. That's a cute name. His voice was really sweet sounding too. It sounded almost melodic.

"Okay, now that I know all your names, we're gonna do some icebreakers to get to know each other better. For this game, we'll all get in a circle. I'll start in the middle and say the words switch with me if you...... and state something about myself. Anyone that that statement applies to will try to switch positions with someone else in the circle. The last person to find a new position will stand in the middle and say something about themselves, and so on." You have played this game a couple of times before. It was pretty fun.

The whole class, including you, formed a circle. Mrs. Rivens went in the middle.

"Switch with me if your favorite color is blue." If blue is your favorite color, you switched, but you managed to get a spot. If it isn't you just stayed. This went on for a couple rounds, but eventually you did get stuck in the middle. It took you a couple of seconds to think of a statement, but you eventually you came up with one.

"Switch with me if the g-note triggers you." You stated. The whole class looked at you in confusion. That is, except Elliott, who slowly walked to the center.

"God dang it!" You heard him whisper under his breath. "I feel targeted." He joked. You giggled a little. Okay, he was actually kinda cute.

"Switch with me if you're wearing Vans." You looked down at your shoes, realizing you were wearing Vans, and ran across the room. Luckily, you managed to get a spot. The person who got stuck in the middle was a girl, but you couldn't remember her name.

"Switch with me if you have a pet that's not a cat or a dog." A couple of people switched (including you if you have an unusual pet), but Elliott once again got stuck in the middle.

"Again!?!?" He shouted.

"Elliott, what pet do you have?" Mrs. Rivens asked.

"A ball python. His name is Jughead." (Yes that is a reference to Jughead from Riverdale)

"Awwww, cute!" You exclaimed. You began realizing that he was actually a pretty cool guy.

"Thanks. Switch with me if you're favorite store is Hot Topic." You thought there would be at least a couple more people that would move to the center, but you were the only one.

"Switch with me if you're obsessed with pop punk." Elliott was once again the only one.

"Are you TRYING to get me in the middle!?!?!?" He shouted.

"Or maybe your the only cool person here." You shouted back. Wait, you just said that out loud, didn't you? Elliott got a shocked look on his face. Wait, he wasn't......blushing, was he?

"Um, switch with me, if, you used to live somewhere other than Maryland." You as well as a few other people switched.

"Finally." Elliott muttered. Okay, you were starting to get a bit of a crush on him. You played a few more rounds of the game until the end of class. You looked at your schedule, your next class was guitar. You headed towards the music room.
