Author's Note: Hey! This is my first story, so please review and tell me what you think about it. I have the second chapter written, but I'm only going to upload if people want me to! There is going to be a lot more action in the second chapter.

"Don't sweat it, Miley. You'll survive," Jessie said with a big grin plastered on her face.

That's easy for her to say. Last time I checked, she wasn't the one moving all the way across the continent from Tennessee to California. "I'm really going to miss you," I told her.

"Miley! The plane is leaving in 15 minutes!" my dad yelled. My older brother, Jackson, began to tug my luggage towards the airline terminal.

I sighed.

Jessie held up her pinky. "Promise not to forget me, 'kay?" I could already see tears forming in her deep brown eyes, threatening to spill over any second.

"I promise," I said as my pinky locked with hers. I would never forget the three years of friendship she brought me at Gateway Middle. After a big hug, I turned around and walked towards the big tunnel, leading into the airplane.

As I left, I could hear her yell the words "Stay strong!" at me.

One month later, I'm standing in front of a big Seaview High sign on the first day of high school. I studied the complicated map and held my schedule up beside it. "My next class should be in the Junior hallway...," I thought to myself.

The hall was extremely crowded, with big circles of people here and there, as if they were rival countries who weren't allowed to mingle with each other. I decided it would be better to keep my eyes glued to the floor. Now all I had to do was find my geometry class at E-14.

I looked at the classroom numbers: E-17... E-16... E-15... Slam! The next thing I knew, I was on the floor.

I looked up just in time to see two pairs of deep brown eyes staring down at me. One girl had long, dark brown hair while the other had curled black hair. All I could do was stare at them.

"Look what you did!" screeched the first girl. "My books," she screamed, "are all over the floor!"

The girl with the curled hair gave me a sympathetic look. "Let her off, Ashley. She's only a freshie," she told the girl I suppose was Ashley.

Ashley replied with a sharp, "Shut up, Amber." She turned back to me and said," What are you staring at?! Pick my books up!"

I slowly gathered all my things, along with all of her things.

"Your next class here?" Ashley thrust a pink fingernail at E-14.

I gave her a slight nod. I stammered, "I'm really sorr-"

"Great," she interrupted. "You can carry all my things there." Ashley started to walk towards class. With a look over her shoulder, she said, "Just so you know, I'm going to make your stay at Seaview a living hell." After that, she walked away, nose thrust in the air, Amber in tow.

As Amber and Ashley both walked away, I thought I saw them turn old and gnarled looking, wearing a big black witch hat, broom in hand. I rubbed my eyes and looked back at them. They looked the same as before, pink fingernails and all. "Boy, somebody needs more sleep," I thought.

The books were very heavy, so after a few stumbling steps, I dropped them all over the floor. Sighing, I bent down to start picking everything up. The few students that were already seated started to snicker at me. I could feel all the blood rush to my face.

"Do you want me to help you with those?" said a voice above me.

I looked up. Standing over me was a tall looking boy with curly brown hair and brown eyes. He picked up my biology textbook and handed it to me.

"Thanks," I mumbled.

He replied with a shy grin.

"Everyone, to your seats, please," stated Mr. Kabob, the geometry teacher. I glanced around a room and saw a table in the back, where the boy who helped me pick up my books and a girl with dirty blonde hair sat. The boy motioned for me to come, so I quickly gave Ashley her books and took mine to the table where the girl and the boy sat.

"The name's Nick. Nick Jonas," he told me. Then he pointed a long finger at the girl sitting across from him. "That's Lilly." Lily looked up from her book and gave me a tiny wave.

"My name is Miley. I just moved here from Tennessee," I told them.

Nick and Lilly both smiled at me. "You can hang out with us then!" they both said. "We're both freshman, by the way."

I gave a big smile back. In fact, I felt almost as if Lilly and Nick were both radiating a soft, angelic light. I finally made friends!
