" Bethany. Bethany. Wakey, wakey. " I felt someone shake me. I flutter my eyes open and see Aunt Susan.

" Good morning." She smiled.

" Good morning." I said. I sat up and rubbed my eyes.

" Get ready for school. I'm going to cook breakfast." She said as she walked out the door. I nod and walked to my closet. I want to make a good impression. I stood there thinking. I grabbed my floral dress and a white cardigan. I placed it on my bed and went to my bathroom. I took a shower.

After I finished, I walked out and wrapped myself in a towel. I grabbed my phone and put on some music. I quietly hum to the song as I brushed my teeth. I blow dried my hair and curled it. I walked out and put on my clothes. I examined myself in my full length mirror.
You look good. Everything is going to be great today.

I thought to myself. I took a deep breath and put on my black flats. I grabbed my geo stripe backpack and my phone and walked downstairs. I walked to the living room and smelled food.

" Done." I hear her say. I walked towards the kitchen. She cooked bacon, pancakes, eggs, waffles, and she made fruit smoothies.

" That is a lot of food." I breathed out.

" I know. But some people are joining us for breakfast. They will bring you to school too." Aunt Susan said. The door bell rang. She smiled and walked to the door. I sat in my chair. Part of me knew that it was the guys. I look up and see a girl and a guy. Not the guys? Okay.

" This is Ari Collins and Gabe Holland. They live next door." Aunt Susan said.

"Hi." Ari and Gabe said. I looked away.

" Bethany is shy." Aunt Susan said. No, I'm not shy. I just don't talk to people that much.

" I get it. I was shy at first but later on, I got out my shell." Ari said. I look to see that they sat down. I ate my food.

" Time to go." Aunt Susan said. I got up and went get my backpack.

" C'mon, Bethany." Ari said. I nod and walked out with them.

" So Bethany, why did you move to LA?" Gabe asked.

" Gabe, shut up." Ari said.

" I'm just asking a question." He said.

" My grandma couldn't take care of me anymore so Aunt Susan said she would." I said.

" She talked." I hear Ari said, quietly.

" What about your parents?" Gabe asked.

" I don't want to talk about that." I said. I sucked in my lips and walked quickly.

" Wait, Bethany. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." Gabe said as he caught up with me. I sighed and continued to walk.

" Nice going, Gabe." Ari said. We reached the school.

" I'm going to show her the main office. " Ari said to Gabe.

" Alright, I'll see you in history class. Bye, Bethany." Gabe said.

" Bye." I said. Ari and I walked to the office. A lady who looked bored out her mind sat in a chair behind the counter.

" Class schedule for Bethany." Ari said.

" Bethany Evans?" The lady asked.

" Yes." I said. She went on the computer and typed something.
