"Because if I'm lost either ways, I may as well be lost with you"

When he thought there was nothing left for him, she entered his life.
When she thought she was losing her sanity, he entered hers.
Felix is done with life when a beautiful brunett...
"Are you gonna be alright on your own?" my dad asks me as I get out of the car.
"She's not alone dad. I'm gonna be right here with her" Fran says coming out of the car as well. He tries to speak this as calmly as he can but I can see him gritting his teeth.
"Yeah alright" dad says and I turn on my heel to leave and so does Fran but dad's voice cuts us off.
"And sweetheart. Try not to, um" he coughs awkwardly before continuing "tell anyone your stories" and looks at me pointily.
But before I can reply Fran catches my wrist and drags me out of there in the school hallway. These hallways are massive.
We keep walking further down the hallway looking for the office to collect our locker numbers and schedules.
I turn to my side and see Fran flushing with anger. This is not a good sight. I hate this day already and I haven't even started the lectures yet.
"It's okay Fran. You know I'm used to it" I tell him in an attempt to cool down his anger.
"But you shouldn't be. This was never suppossed to happen. God!" he says stomping and kicking his right leg in the air heavily and brushes both of his hands through his hair.
"Hey, hey. Look at me" I turn his shoulder towards me and he does as asked.
"It did happen and we cannot change that but what we can do is not think about the past right now. We're starting junior year today and we're gonna enjoy ourselves. You're gonna make friends, you're gonna party and I'm gonna do whatever the hell I always do" I say and he laughs a little and I instantly feel better. " So promise me that no matter what they do, you're gonna be right here with me trying to enjoy the rest of our school life" I continue.
He studies my face for a few seconds when I'm pretty sure he's debating out a hundred different things and settles down his face softly breaking out a smile.
"Alright. I promise"

I'm sitting in English Lit right now. I'm doodling something on the last page of the notebook while the teacher is explaining the yearly syllabus.
Suddenly the door opens and a cute blonde girl walks over to the teacher. She shows Mrs Bashinger a document and the teacher indicates her to go and take a seat. Guess she's new too.
She looks around and there are two empty seats. There's one beside a girl who's busy reading a book and one beside me. She smiles at me a little and walks over to seat beside me.
I smile and wave a 'hey' when she sits down.
"Hey I'm Summer. Summer Benson" she says with a full blown smile.
"Felicity Reed" I reply with a smile unable to reply with the same energy. She doesn't mind though.
"Are you new too?" she asks me.
"Yes. I moved here from Sacramento" I tell her and she nods with a smile. I feel like I should continue the conversation so I ask "What about you?"
"I've always stayed here. I just changed schools because we changed our home and this school is closer than the earlier one. I didn't like it much there anyway" she tells me.
"Oh" I say nodding my head in understanding.
We return our attention to English Lit but I make a mental note to ask her to sit with me and Fran at lunch today.
***
Everyone is scurrying out of the classroom and Summer is collecting her books.
"Hey, do you wanna maybe sit with me at lunch today? You're the only friend I've made so far" I ask her.
"Yeah sure. You're the only person I've talked to so far as well" she says and smiles at me as walk out the door.
"That is if you don't count the bitchy receptionist and Mrs Bashinger" she adds on which makes me laugh.
"Well you are about to make one more I guess. I have a twin brother. His name is Francis" I tell her hoping she wouldn't mind because there's no way I'm gonna be sitting without him.
Much to my relief she says "Oh okay great".

Summer and I are waiting in the cafeteria for Fran.
We are talking about the food in our old schools' when I see Fran enter with a cute boy and two girls. Fran looks around and when he finds me he waves and points the other people to our table. They all walk over to us.
One of the girl sits beside Summer. Fran and the boy sit in front of us with the other girl in the middle of them.
"Guys this is Felicity, my sister. And Fel, this is Claire" he points to the girl beside him. I smile and wave. She waves back. "This is Isaac" he points to the guy sitting beside who I now know as Claire "and this is Jenny" he points to the girl sitting beside Summer. "I met them in history and they invited us to have lunch with them" he tells me.
All of them give me welcoming smiles and Claire says "Hey Felicity".
"Well this is gonna be confusing as hell" Isaac says. I furrow my brows in confusion but Fran beats me to it "What is?"
"We have a friend. His name is Felix and we call him Fel as well. The short for Felicity naturally becomes Fel too. That is what's gonna be confusing is what he means" Jenny, the one beside Summer explains.
"Oh" I say and we all laugh a little.
"Anyways. This is Summer and I met her in English Lit" I introduce everyone to Summer and they exchange 'heys'.
We spend the lunch time talking. Claire, Isaac and their other friend Felix have been friends since sophomore year. They met Jenny in freshman. They are all so welcoming and I am more than glad that we were able to make so many friends on our first day here.
Apparently they all go to a nearby cafe very often. Isaac invited us there later this evening.
Maybe this will be good for me. I smiled a lot today. Even though if I look back, I'll find a million reasons not to.
We all exchange numbers and take off for our next classes.

Hey guys!
This is what I imagine the 'Bluemoon' cafe to look like.
