FOUR
"FIRST DAY"

-

"Are you ready for your first day of school?"

Isabelle nodded as she pulled her bag over her shoulder, turning and smiling at her mom, who had a worried expression plastered on her face.

"Are you sure you know the way to the school? Maybe I should come with you..."

Isabelle cut her off, "Mom, I'll be fine, stop worrying. And for the thousandth time, I'm walking to school with Sam, he knows the way"

Rachel Mckenna's face visibly relaxed, "Okay then, enjoy your day" she said, smiling softly at her daughter, content with the obvious point that she wasn't relying on her any more.

"Will do. See you later" Isabelle said, smiling at her mom as she grabbed her keys and walked outside to see Sam crossing over the road, about to go and knock on her door t o see if she was ready.

"Ready to go?" he asked, and Isabelle nodded, "Ready as I'll ever be" she laughed.

"Are you nervous?" he asked.

Isabelle shrugged, "I suppose I am, I dont know anyone apart from you, what if nobody else likes me?"

"They will like you. And if they dont, then at least you have one person that does, but I can guarantee that they will"

"You sure? The people at my old school were very different"

"Trust me, you'll be fine. It's just first day jitters"

"You know what, it probably is" Isabelle smiled and adjusted the straps of her bag as they walked around the corner onto the road the school was on.

"So, any words of warning about any teachers that I should know?"

Sam thought for a moment, "If you have Mr Smith for math, then I should warn you that he makes literally no sense. Oh, and never talk back to Ms Jones because she will practically get you suspended"

Isabelle nodded, "Right. So Mr Smith makes no sense and Ms Jones is mean. Got it."

They walked onto the school grounds, where people were already walking around in groups, and some people were hugging after not seeing each other over summer.

"Sam!"

A boy was waving at Sam, walking over to the two of them.

"Hey Tyler! How was your vacation?"

"It was great!" the boy, Tyler, turned to Isabelle, "Who's your friend?"

"Oh, Tyler, this is my new neighbour, Isabelle" he hesitated before correcting himself, "Sorry, Belle"

Tyler smiled at her, "It's nice to meet you"

"You too" she smiled.

Tyler turned to Sam, "Everyone's over there, you coming?"

"I'm going to go with Belle to the office so she can find out where she has to go, see you at lunch?"

Tyler nodded, "see you at lunch, you too if you want" he said, before he turned and went over to a small group of both boys and girls.

Sam and Isabelle went to the office, and she quickly learned where she had to go - the same place as Sam.

The bell was about to go, so they headed down the hall to the classroom, and went inside. There was already a few students in there, many of which looked at Isabelle, noticing that she was new.

Isabelle sat down on top of a desk and dumped her bag onto the floor.

"Everyone's looking at me" she said quietly.

"It's because you're new, there's rarely a new student here" Sam shrugged.

"Well, I guess I have to get used to it"
