Esme
Ruel and I end up watching tv shows together on my couch. Time passed fast and it's 8 pm. We ate dinner together with my parents. My parents were really nice towards Ruel and same goes to Ruel. I am glad. I skateboarded  Ruel back to his house.
-Monday
  I wake up to my annoying alarm. I get dressed and head out. I see Ruel walking ahead of me
Me: Hey wait up!
   Ruel looks behind him and sees me. He smiles and stops. I wave at him and he waves back.
Ruel: Goodmorning
Me: goodmorning.
We aren't very comfortable with each other yet. I trust him and think he's an awesome human but I haven't known Ruel for a long time. We walked in silence or had awkward small talks while walking to school.
After seven minutes of walking we made it to the school park. The bell rung as we put our things in our lockers. I have AP Chem first. Ruel has math.
Ruel
I'm glad to have a friend. It's not the same as hanging out with the boys back in Sydney though. There's a big time change so I can barely talk to the boys. Esme has been my friend since I've moved here.
I sit at the very back of the class. I can feel people's stares. It's my first day at school by the way. The teacher clears his throat. "Class, we have a new student. Why don't you take this chance to introduce yourself?" the teacher sounds enthusiastic. I nod my head and slowly walk up to the front. Ugh it's one of these Introducing scenes in movies. As I stand at the front I hear some girls talk and gasp. I roll my eyes in my head. " Hi." Ew I awkwardly waved. "My name i-is r-Ruel." I say. "Right, and what are some hobbies you like to do?" why!? Why do I have to say more. All the students need to know is my name! "I-I like singing and playing basketball." I emediately walk back to my seat. "Well, nice to have you in this class Roo-ell" I cringe. The teacher pronounces my name wrong. "Rool" I correct. Some students chuckle. When the teacher turned around I see a paper thrown at my desk. I pick it up.
The Note
Hey what's ur num?

I look up to see a girl smiling up at me. I roll my eyes. Why? I'm not in the mood so I throw the paper back at her. Her smile turns into a frown. It's not my fault she's upset.

Everyone walks out. As I walk out I'm stopped by that girl who threw the note to me. I sigh. "What?" I ask. "What's your number?" Does she not understand I don't want some random girl to know my number? "Excuse me" I walk right past her. She runs up to me and holds my arm. I free my arm and ask "What do you want!?" I raise my voice a bit. "Oh sorry, you should've just told me that you didn't want me to have your number" she spits. Wow. On my first day I am getting attacked by a random girl. I walk away.

The bell rings signaling its the end of the day. I see Esme at her locker. "Hey" I smile. "Hey!" Esme responds. "Do you want to skateboard with me today?" Esme asks. Of course! Why would I not. "Yeah!" She smiles.
I drop my school stuff at home and grab my skateboard. When I step out the door I see that girl from earlier walking home. Oh no.
