A/N: Alright, so this story is based on my life pretty much. I will try not to make a mary sue out of the OC, but I can't make promises. I hope you like!

Jenna Masterson sighed as she looked around the crowded bakery. She fiddled with the bracelet she had on as she started to get more and more anxious as more people came in. Tomorrow was her first day of school in this new place and her mom had made her leave the house to get some exposure to the new area and to help get her mind off things.

Her dad had gotten transferred from the small, rural town in California that she had been born and raised in. He was a lawyer and worked with the west coast office of Elliot, Brown and Montgomery Law Firm. They had decided to send him to the east coast office after someone had quit since he was one of the most prestigious lawyers they had.

Jenna wasn't a city girl, she hated the closed in feeling she got when in the city. She hated that they had to leave their small, quiet town to come to this noisy, overwhelming place. On top of it she also had to start public school, something she had never experienced before. She had been homeschooled from kindergarten till this year, her sophomore year of high school. She was dreading it as she had heard all the horror stories from her friends before they moved.

The reason for Jenna being homeschooled was because she had a disease that made her sick a lot and kept her from doing things. Her parents had a meeting with the principal and told him everything about her and her condition. The principal was very accommodating and would set up something for Jenna for the times she might be out of school.

They also figured out a plan for her for gym class, one of the classes that would be hard for her. There would be days that she wouldn't participate and on those days she would be required to do a report on health and wellness. The principal also thought it might be good to have Jenna do a report on her own disease and they would publish it in the school newspaper. This made Jenna a little less scared and a bit excited for her new school.

Jenna had been sitting at a small table, reading a book she had brought with her. She had been trying to drown out the sounds of the college students around her when a group of high schoolers came bustling in. She watched them as they placed their order and went to sit down in the area where there were some couches. They started pulling books and papers out of the backpacks they were carrying, laying them on the table.

She smiled as she watched them. They seemed so close. She hoped that one day she would have a group of friends like that.

Riley's POV

Riley and her friends had just gotten out of school. They were in their sophomore year and were finally adapting to their new lives as teenagers. The more responsibility and the more freedom they had been given as they kept growing older was a bit overwhelming at first, but now they just went with the flow.

As they all sat down at their regular area of the café and started to lay out all their assignments so they could see who could help whom, Riley felt like she was being watched. She looked around and her eyes landed on a young girl, around her age, watching her curiously. The girl immediately looked away when she saw Riley looking back at her.

"Do any of you know her? She looks like she is our age. Anyone seen her at school?" Riley suddenly asked the group, discreetly pointing to the girl who had gone back to reading the book she was holding.

"No, why?" Maya Hart answered.

"She was watching us. When she saw that I noticed her, she turned away." Riley replied, a certain curious look on her face.

"You want to ask her to join us?" Lucas Friar asked, knowing where his girlfriend's thoughts were headed by the look on her face.

"If that is okay with everyone. She kind of looks lonely." Riley said, looking back at the girl who was now looking around the café, watching the other customers come and go.

"The more the merrier." Isaiah "Zay" Babinoux said. Riley smiled at him before getting up and walking over to where the girl sat.

"Hi, I'm Riley." She said.
