My first lesson flew by.

"Oh my god Sky that boy looks at you all the time!" Danielle whispered. She is talking about the dark blond guy in the back off the room.

"You are right! He is cute though! " I whisper back to Danielle, not wanting the boy to hear our conversation.

When we get to History the boy sits next to me.

"Hey, I'm Skylar" I tell him.

"My name is Liam" the boy replied.

"Where are you from?" I ask, attempting to start a conversation with this Liam guy.

"Hey Liam! My name's Danielle! " Danielle yells, right next to my ear if I may add.

"Hey Danielle, I'm Liam" Liam replies cooly. We are laughing for over 5 minutes before we realise the class is waiting for us to be quiet.

"Good morning everyone, lets get to know each other before we start this term" our teacher says. He clears his throat before speaking again, "my name is Mr. Andrews, I'm 37 and I live in Oxford".

"Now, everyone get a piece of paper and make a little name plate and place it on your desk so I know who I am talking to" our teacher continues.

I take a piece of paper and write Skylar on it. Liam and Danielle do the same. "Thats a wonderful name, tell us something about yourself Skylar" Mr Andrews says looking at me.

I clear my throat before speaking, Um hey, I'm Skylar Brooks, I'm 18, I'm from Northampton and I'm planning on attending Brown or Yale next year."

"Great start Skylar! Hmmm lets see who should we pick next...ah! yes Danielle tell us a little bit about yourself!"

"Hello, I'm Danielle Davis, I'm 18 years old, I live in Oxford and I am planning on finishing college at Oxford but I might go to America with Skylar" Danielle speaks confidently.

As the day goes on I walk with Liam, Danielle and another boy we met called Louis. He and Liam knew each other since primary school. We exchange phone numbers and email addresses. We talk a lot about secondary school and how this is a huge life change. Liam wants to go to America next year as well, he wants to go to NYU just like Louis. Danielle is still undecided, she wants to stay in the UK to stay close to her parents but at the same time she doesn't want to miss out on all the amazing opportunities she would have in America. The thought of leaving my parents hits me hard, I never thought about that. Moving to America is amazing but I would hate to have to leave my parents. I quickly shake the thought from my mind, not wanting to over think things. I only just started University, I still have one whole year to decide whether I'll got to America or not. I'm gladly brought out of my thoughts by Louis' rather loud voice.

"GUYS LOOK! THERE'S A PIGEON!" He yells, pointing at it before running towards it making it fly away out of fear.
We decide to go to the frozen yoghurt place next to college when our classes are over. Danielle and I take my scooter whilst Liam and Louis walk since their ride - Liam's car - has run out of fuel.
