Annie walked down the hall of WBHH, looking around at her surroundings. In Kansas, people wore normal jeans and a t-shirt to school, with the occasional sweater. Not at West Beverly, you didn't. She looked and felt out of place at the new school, walking alongside girls dressed in Gucci, Prada, Coach, and the latest 1000 dollar shirts that were purchased from the most expensive boutique on Rodeo Drive. She walked with her head down, and her eyes quickly scanning the halls for anyone who looked normal. She found her locker and headed to class, even the teacher's dressed impressively. Well, this was West Beverley. She sat down in the nearest empty seat she could find, and took a sigh of relief, being the new kid at 16 was not one's favorite experience. Not when everyone had cliques and friends, and no one had time for the new girl. These people she was staring at didn't know her as well as her small town Kansas friends, and they certainly didn't have to give up the lead in the school musical just so her parents could move to her alcoholic grandmother's house, and care for her. Nope, they didn't know that, they just saw her as the new girl, who dressed way too shabby to come to school.

The bell rang, and her first period English teacher walked into the room, wow, more like smoking hot teacher. "How old was this guy? 25?" she thought to herself. He walked in, " Good morning class my name is Mr. Matthews, and I will have the pleasure of taking you all through what is known as literature. In my class, you will read books, you will participate, you will do all your work on time, and pass with flying colors. Fail to so, and fail my class. Now, I would like to introduce you all to our new student, Annie Wilson." I cringed as he looked and me and motioned for me to stand. "Dear God help me, this is just humiliating." I thought to myself. "Annie, why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself?"he asked, and as I turned to look at the class's leering eyes, I felt like throwing up. "Well, umm, my name's Annie, obviously, I'm umm from Kansas, and we just moved here. That's pretty much it." I kept stuttering as I spoke. "OH MY GOD, that was THE most humiliating things EVER!" I thought to myself. I was pretty sure I was as red as the Hollister tank top I was wearing. I quickly sat down, and looked at the teacher. I was pretty sure, that if no one noticed me before, they definitely did now. Mr. Matthews started saying something and suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned around and saw Ethan, YAY! Someone I knew! This was exciting.

"Hey Annie, I didn't know you were going to be moving here." He said, with surprise etched on his face.

I chuckled and said "Yeah, well I didn't either until about a month ago. We came here because of my grandma, she's been drinking more lately and she just needs someone to take care of her, so we came."

" Well, it's been a while since I've seen you, so we definitely have some catching up to do. I've missed hangin' out with you." He smiled affectionately.

Suddenly we heard the very loud clearing of a throat. "Well Ms.Wilson, as much as it's great that you're making new friends, could we please not do it during my class time?" Mr. Matthews stared at me while he spoke.

I could feel my cheeks turning pink, I managed to squeak out a "Sorry!" and turned around to face the computer I had sitting in front of me. Time flew by after that, and after the bell rang, I headed out of the classroom and was met by Ethan's smiling face.

"Hey Annie, well about the catching up thing, do you want to meet up after school? You could bring your brother and I could show you guys around town."

I smiled, "Sure Ethan, that sounds great!"

He smiled back and said "Great, I'll text you after school!"

I suddenly realized that I had no idea where I was going, "Ethan!" I called out. " Could you possibly show me around the school too?" I sheepishly asked.

He laughed "Sure! Just let me see your schedule and I'll walk you to your next class."
