𝐈𝐈: 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐁𝐚𝐝

let me get one thing straight. i overreact about EVERYTHING under the sun, and moving to a new school was no exception. i thought i was gonna get called ugly. i thought i was going to set somebody off by wearing the wrong type of shoe. i thought i was going to die. but i didn't. fortunately.

once i got my schedule and stopped overthinking everything, it really wasn't that bad. nobody called me ugly, nobody fought me over my shoes, nobody introduced me to russian dungeon porn, and nobody killed me. the worst thing that happened to me so far was bumping into some girl in the hallway during a passing period, but it really wasn't a big deal.

it's currently lunch, and i forgot i had to make new friends (because i was too busy worrying about my shoes), so as of now i'm just sitting alone at a corner table scrolling through all my socials. my brother, naturally, had no problem at all making friends, so he and his new chums are in someone's truck right now driving to taco bell or something.

"hey! you're the new girl, rhiannon, right?" i heard a girl ask me from across the table. i looked up from my phone to see the girl i bumped into earlier with a warm smile on her face . i returned it and nodded my head.

"excellent," she said, taking the seat across from me, "my name is victoria. but you might remember me from B hall." she joked.

i laughed. "yeah, um, i'm sorry about that by the way." i said, scratching the back of my head nervously, which made her chuckle.

"it's fine, really. don't even worry about it," she said dismissively, "but hey, i noticed that you were sitting alone, and i thought it would be fun if you came and sat with me and my friends? unless you're waiting for someone, of course." she offered, with the welcoming smile still on her face.

i grinned at her. "would they be okay with it?" i asked, making sure i wasn't intruding or anything.

"of course they will be, come on." she said as she got up from her seat, gesturing for me to follow.

i got up from my seat as well and shuffled behind her awkwardly as she lead me across the lunchroom from where i was previously sat. she took a seat at a table that was quite crowded if i'm being honest, and patted for me to sit in an empty chair next to her.

she then proceeded to introduce me too all of her friends (and there was a lot of them), and helped me get comfortable with everyone during the 40 minutes that we had. when the bell rang, we all dispersed to our different classes, and i walked to my 5th hour smiling at the fact that i made some new friends.

as the tardy bell finished ringing, i stood at the front of the classroom waiting for the teacher to tell me where i was to be seated. after being forced to introduce myself to the class with my name and an "interesting fact" about myself, she pointed to an empty seat in the back of the class, next to one of victoria's friends from lunch.

his eyes followed my movements as i sat down, and i gave him a friendly smile, which he returned before looking down at the table in front of him. he didn't really talk much during lunch, so i didn't attempt to start a conversation with him as class went on. i had a few other classes with him throughout the day, and even sat with him in science too, but i didn't really notice him until victoria introduced me to him. he's kinda cute though.

after spanish was over, i went on with my last two classes of the day until school was over and izaiah took us home. i again asked him what his advice from earlier was, just to see if i subconsciously took it, and he said that there was none because he was just messing with me. typical.

i went to sleep that night thinking about school. the lack of furry porn, the fact that i didn't provoke a fight on accident, and especially all my new friends and how happy i was that i ran into victoria in the hallway.

but i couldn't help but wonder why kairi was so quiet. not only with me, but with his friends too. he barely spoke a word to anyone all day, not at lunch or any of our shared classes. however, i decided not to dwell on the thought, as it was most definitely not my business, and he was probably just shy. that's reasonable, right?
