Day one in LA. The second I heard my parents were getting divorced, I knew I wasn't going to be staying in Wisconsin. I don't understand why they didn't give me a choice, I would much rather stay there than move down to LA. "Honey get dressed. It's your first day and I don't want you to be late." My mom said interrupting my thoughts. Yay school. The last day of Spring Break was yesterday and I spent most of it shopping for school. The weather here was way different than the weather in Wisconsin. "Ryan!" My mom yelled. "I'm up!" I yelled back and reluctantly got up. I turned the shower on and quickly got in, the hot water helped keep my body awake.

When I got out, I wrapped the towel around me and looked through the shopping bags for clothes that I still haven't hung up. I put on high-waisted acid washed jeans and one of my maroon sweatshirts from my school back in Wisconsin. I decided to just throw my hair into a messy bun and then I applied my makeup, foundation and mascara. I slipped on my white Vans, grabbed my phone, and sprayed on my favorite perfume. I took one last look into the mirror before running downstairs.

"Mom I don't understand why I have to go to school. I don't know anybody and the year is almost over." I whined. "You'll be fine." She smiled. That's it? I rolled my eyes and grabbed my bag, stuffing my lunch in it. "Do you want me to drive you?" My mom asked getting her keys. "No I'm fine." I mumbled. "Are you-" "Really mom it's fine, I'll walk it's not that far." I interrupted. "Uh okay.." She seemed hurt.

It was about a five to ten minute walk to school from my house. I popped in my headphones, blocking out the world. School is going to suck. I miss Wisconsin already, all my friends, even my dad.

I was interrupted by honking. I took out my headphones and looked over. There was a girl, about my age, in her car which was pulled over by the sidewalk. "Hey you want a lift?" She seemed really nice. "Oh no that's ok." I smiled. "Oh c'mon! I don't bite!" She winked. "Uhm ok." I chuckled.

"I'm Alex." She smiled and looked over at me. "Ryan." I smiled. "I'm guessing you're new here?" She chuckled. "What makes you say that?" I frowned. "Well you're wearing jeans and a sweatshirt in the spring." She giggled. "Oh yea. I'm from Wisconsin." I explained. "Oh wow!" She said interested.

"Well we're here!" She parked her car towards the front. It was huge. "Welcome to Eastwood High School." Alex said as I followed her up the front steps. "I'll take you to the office so you can get your schedule and then I'll show you around." She smiled.

I followed her through a series of halls until we finally got to the office. "Here you go." The attendance lady smiled giving me my schedule. "Maybe we have a few classes!" Alex said excited. "Let's see. We have Chemistry and History together." "Cool." I smiled. "Ugh our History teacher, Mr. Hoover, is sooo boring." She groaned. I just giggled.

Alex showed me my locker and I dumped all my stuff into it. Then she showed me where my first class was. "And here's Maths with Ms. Anderson." "Thank you so much! I would be totally lost if it weren't for you." I chuckled. "No problem! We have History before lunch so I'll be with you." She winked. Oh thank goodness. "Alright see ya later!" She waved and left to her class.

I walked into class and went straight to the teacher. "Hi. Welcome to Eastwood! Have a seat next to Matt." She smiled and pointed towards the back of the room.

I kept my head down and walked towards my assigned seat. I was about to look up when I bumped into someone, causing my books and papers to fall on the ground. "Oh my gosh! I am so sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going!" By now my face was a bright pink. I bent down to pick up my stuff and noticed the guy helping me.

We both went to grab the same book and our hands touched. I looked up to see big hazel eyes looking at me. I stood up and he handed me my book. He was a tallish boy with blondish hair, and he was really attractive. "My bad." He said with a small smile.

"I'm Matt." He said sticking out his hand.

"Ryan." I smiled back and shook his hand.
