-Jasmine's POV-

It was the first day of school, and I felt extremely nervous. This isn't my first time starting at a new school, but it doesn't get easier to introduce myself. Luckily, I've made 2 new friends.

As I was getting ready, I got a text from Ricky.

Today 7:04PM

Ricky knocked on the front door just as I put on my backpack. "Bye Dad!"I yelled as I opened the door.

"Bye honey! Have a great day!"Dad replied from the kitchen.

Ricky smiled as I stepped out and shut the door behind me. "Thanks again for helping me,"I said as we started walking.

"You need to stop thanking me. Trust me, you've made this summer a lot better for me,"Ricky insisted.

I blushed lightly. "You're so sweet."

We were talking about music as we walked, and suddenly we were in front of the school. There were so many people. "Wow, this is definitely the biggest school I've been to,"I breathed, trying to take everything in.

"It's not that big,"Ricky assured.

"Ricky!"I heard someone yell. I turned around and saw Red walking towards us, skateboard in hand. "Oh, hey Jasmine. Didn't see you,"he smiled.

"Hey Red,"I replied.

"What's up?"Ricky greeted.

"You guys ready for junior year?"Red grinned.

Ricky replied,"I'm ready to get Nini back. That's all that matters right now."

"Guys, help me find my locker. I don't even know what any of this means,"I sighed, handing my papers over to Ricky as we walked into the school.

He read through and said,"Oh, I think that's near my locker. Come."

Red and I were following Ricky down the hallway when he suddenly stopped.

I looked at him, confused. "Uh, you okay?"

"That's her. That's Nini,"Ricky breathed.

I looked over and saw a pretty girl at her locker. She was organizing some things while talking to another girl. "Go say hi!"I exclaimed in a whisper.

Ricky looked at me nervously before nodding. Red and I weren't sure if we should go as well, so we just stood beside him.

"Hey Nini,"Ricky said, his voice wavering.

"Uh, hi Ricky,"Nini replied. Her friend was just glaring at Ricky. Then she turned her attention to Red and I.

"That's Kourtney,"Red whispered, hiding a bit behind me.
