— This takes place in the 2000s rather than the 1990s

HIGH SCHOOL, Came quicker than I thought it would. I don't know what to expect, or if I should even expect anything at all. But then again, when you're dating the Benny Rodriguez, I guess you become the talk of the school.

"Kae, You're going to be fine. We're, going to be fine. Okay? You gotta trust me." Benny reassures me as he held my hand throughout the whole car-ride to school.

As we got there, I stared at the huge building. I immediately got sick to my stomach as I saw the endless amount of kids, And I thought Junior High was bad.

"I guess it's too late to go home, Huh?" I joked.

Benny opens the door and helps me out. He held my hand as I stepped down and handed me my backpack, which was just plain navy blue. His was black. Basic, I know.

"Have fun you two!" My mom exclaims from the opened car window. We both held a thumbs up and she drove off. It was now just me and Benny, and the guys too of course, Except for Tommy, Who was sadly a year younger than us.

"From what I remember, We do schedules, lockers, Then classes," Benny says. I just nodded, I had absolutely no idea what to expect. We both only had a slight idea of high school because of our older siblings, who are both Juniors attending our high school.

We walk over to the huge crowds of people, Thankfully our last names put us in the same line. Ham met up with us, Following him was Timmy, Scotty, and Squints. The rest were separated from us because their last names were further up.

After getting our schedules, The first thing we did was compare which classes we had with each other. We all got excited about Physical Education, Because we all had the same period and the same teacher.

Turns out, I have—first period with Kenny and Bertram, Second with all of us, Third with Benny, Yeah-Yeah, Ham, Kenny, and Timmy, Fourth with Scotty and Squints, Fifth with Scotty and Ham, And Sixth with Benny, Squints, Ham, and Timmy.

I was pretty satisfied with my schedule, I got lucky with having 3 classes being with Benny. It's basically a miracle. We got our locks and our assigned locker number, There were multiple buildings which sucked.

"1765," I mumbled.

"1767," Benny said happily.

This was too good to be true. I gasped and flashed a smile, "How coincidental is that?" I ask as I folded up my locker combination and tucked it into my pocket.

At this point we both knew our parents had some kind of word with the front office about putting us two together, We didn't think they'd actually do it though. It was kind of cool, Honestly.

I held the lock in my hand, As a kid, I've fiddled with a lot of things, So opening locks was an easy task, It didn't take Benny long to learn how to open his either.

The bell rang, Meaning we had about five minutes to get to class. Benny held my hand and squeezed it, "I'll see you soon." He says. I nod my head and lightly smile, He plants a soft kiss on my cheek before leaving with Scotty to class.

I walk into my first period, Which is History. Kenny and Bertram immediately call me over, I sat with them at a table that we ended up having all to ourselves, At least we thought. Before the bell rang, A girl walks in, The only seat vacant was next to me, So I invited her over.

She was shy, Definitely. She didn't speak a word to me or anyone until the last few minutes of class, where everyone was just straight up socializing.
