Chapter one
The car pulled up and my mum turned to look at me.
"We're here, have fun and try not to get into any fights on your first day." she said.
'here', was school and I was gunna be the new kid, again, this was my fifth school in two years.
"Yep, see you later." Was all I said as I scrambled out of the car and watched it drive off. I sighed and walked through the gate, getting a lot of funny looks and a few shy smiles. I found the office and filled out some forms and got taken to my class at the end of first session.
The teacher pulled me inside saying "Class we have a new student. This is Arianna, I hope that you will all become friends" and all that other lame new kid introduction stuff they say. "Take a seat Arianna."
I walked right up the back off the classroom and sat next to a tall blonde girl. "Hey, you don't mind if I sit here do you?" I asked.
"Nope, that's fine with me. My names Rachel." She smiled "Class is almost over and we have break next so do you want to come hang out with me? I can show you around, not that's there's much to see, after all it is school"
I laughed "Thanks, I was beginning to think I'd spend lunch by myself"
The bell rang causing a mad stampede towards the door. When we finally made it to the corridor, Rachel led me to the cafeteria. As we walked I noticed two things one was how short she made me feel and the second was how she managed to walk through the mass of people without touching anyone. We found a table and were soon joined by three people, a black girl a bit taller than me, a fairly tall guy with brown hair who looked from me to Rachel sceptically and another guy about the same height as me with dark hair.
"Hi guys" Rachel said brightly "This is Arianna, Arianna this is Cassie, Jake and Marco."
"So you're the new kid I heard about" Marco said, sitting across from me.
"Well I'm assuming so, unless there's another new kid around." I replied.
"Oh, just so you know Arianna, Marco tends to talk crap so feel free to ignore him, we all do it fairly often." Rachel said, flashing a smile at Marco. Marco opened his mouth to say something but Jake interrupted,
"So where did you move from Arianna?"
"Australia, I lived in every state over there and most recently moved back to Queensland where I grew up. This is my fifth move in two years"
"Why do you move so much?" Cassie asked.
"My dads job, he gets transferred every so often, some times its pointless unpacking."
"Do you know how long your going to be here for?" Marco asked.
"A few years, well, that's what dad was told anyway."
"Okay then, we'd better go now Arianna so I can show you around and we can get to class on time. Rachel said, jumping up. "See you guys later."
We all said something along the lines of goodbye and Rachel led me off around the school and to my science class where Jake and Marco were waiting for me.
