Change My Mind

"Hi!" A tan boy approaches me with a cute smile plastered on his face. "Are you new here?"

"Yeah, I am." I say shyly closing my locker. "Just moved here last week."

"Well welcome to triple S!" He greets me. "I'm Calum!"

"Hey. I'm Acadia." I smile.

"Liking Australia?" He asks.

I shrug. "I guess. I mean, it's OK, I still need to get used to it."

"Well, Acadia, I can't change the world, but I can change your mind. C'mon, we don't need to be here." He takes my hand and pulls me towards the exit.

And that day, Calum certainly did change my mind, and a few years after, he changed my last name.
