A/N: So, this is my second Fanfiction for the Host! I hope you like it. The P.O.V. will switch but will be mostly Mel. Also, check out my other Fanfiction: Been Here All Along!

Wanda's Point of View

Here we go, I though to myself as my alarm rang...and rang...and rang...Too lazy to even hit the snooze button, I just let it keep going...until I realize that Mel doesn't get up for another half hour. OOPS! Well, at least she'll be in a good mood for the first day of school. Wait...was I just being sarcastic? Oh no! Mel's rubbing off on me! I laugh softly, then push myself out of bed, gripping the frame and swaying slightly from being on my feet for the first time in the morning.

Blinking a couple of times to clear the sleep out of my eyes, I grab a towel and head to Mel's bathroom. Steam fogs up the mirror a few seconds after I turn on the hot shower. Using my hand to clear a spot on the mirror, I brush my teeth, then undress and step into the water.

Instantly, it calms me, and I take a deep breath, letting it out as the water slides down my arms and back.

I hear Mel's alarm go off and hurry to get out, not wanting to get on her bad side. Wrapping the towel around my wet body, and shivering from the sudden cold air, I quickly walk back to my room (or Mel's guest room, whichever way you wanna put it).

After slipping a pink and white sundress over my head and combing my hair, I decide to recheck that I have everything that I'll need for the day:

Pens...check!

Pencils...check!

Lined paper...check!

Notebooks...check!

Schedule...check!

Book (A.K.A. Tattered copy of my favorite book, The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins)...check!

I run to get my cell phone off the small bedside table in my room, only to find it gone. How could it be gone? It was here this morning when my alarm when off on it...Trying, but failing, to keep the panic out of my thoughts, I begin to search the rest of the room. Under the covers? Nope. Behind the pillows? Nope. In the dresser drawers? Nope. Under the bed? Nope.

I plop down on the bed and try to think back. Think back to when, Wanda? All you've done this morning was take a shower! I lye back and breathe: in, out, in, out. Here's a lesson for you: sometimes, thinking of the worse-case-scenario doesn't help...especially when it comes to expensive electronics. "UGH!" I groan. Just my luck, losing my phone on my first day of school!

Just then, Mel walks in, toweling her hair dry and holding...of course, my phone. "What's up? It's just school, no need for groaning! Especially because I'll be there with you!" She smiles and winks at me. "Oh, by the way, I borrowed your phone. You know you have really great music on there? Gosh, I wish I had an iPhone...One day…" I think she forgets I'm there, lost in her iPhone fantasy, because suddenly she shakes her head as if trying to bring the real world back into focus and tosses me my "missing" phone.

"Wow, thanks for asking first, Mel! You know, it's a really great feeling to think your phone is gone."

She just raises her eyebrows at me and says, "Was that sarcasm I just heard? Am I rubbing off on you?" I stick my tongue out, making her laugh harder. "What are you? In third grade?"

"Someone's in a good mood for the first day back from December break! Any particular reason…?" I'm not exactly sure what I'm hinting at, but I still giggle like a little girl...Gosh, why do I laugh like that? I bet it really annoys people.

"Well, first of all, my best friend in the whole entire world is coming to school with me, so that's pretty darn fantastic. And...I don't know, I just feel good this morning! Oh, and second of all, I really love your laugh!" Or maybe not. I smile both on the inside and the outside.

"Well, I'm ready to go-you are not going to make me late on my first day of school." I stand up and slip into my ballet flats, smoothing out my dress. Then, I look at Mel again. She's wearing jean shorts and a white tank top with a jean jacket on top, ratty navy converse on her feet.

"Do I look to girly?" I ask her.

"Not for you!" She wink again and starts to walk away, yelling back in my direction, "I'm just grabbing a granola bar. You want something?"

"No, I'm good." I walk to the front door of her family's New York City apartment and take another deep breath. First day of junior year. No biggie! Right? Right. Mel's gonna be with you the whole time. She'll take care of you...Stop worrying, Wanda! Before I can begin to fully panic, Mel returns with a protein bar in one hand and her phone in the other. I'm not really sure what kind it is, all I know is that she really hates it.

"Come on. If we start walking now, you should have tons of time to set up your locker and stuff."

"Cool, but um...Mel?"

"Ya?"

"We have the same schedule, right? You're gonna stay with me the whole time?"

"Don't worry, Wan. I'll be with you the whole day. I made sure of that! Now do you wanna be late or not?"

I take one last deep breath and grab my backpack, following her out the door…

So...What do you think? Sorry if the character are a little OOC, but please tell me what I can do to fix it in the reviews! It's the best feeling getting a review, so please...It'll only take a minute-maybe less!
