This is a new beginning, new people, new start at trying to make friends, just a brand new start. Olivia told herself clutching her books to her chest looking at her feet as she walked..
"Welcome to Central High School joyous moments of new student wonder." The principle greeted her and she smiled. May I see your schedule please, the majority of your class rooms are in A hallway, right to your left. Your choir class will be right out the way you came in and into the auditorium entrance as well as your drama class. Hope you have a very nice an wonderful day." He smiled as he moved on to the next student.
"Me too." She muttered under her breath as she turned towards A hallway. She took a deep breath tried to sigh out all her worries. She went to find her locker and became nervous when she realized a group of jocks and a group of girls were leaning on it. Too afraid to ask them if they could move over, she waited for them move; keeping a great distance between her and them.
"BOO!" A kid laughed in her face. "Why are you just standing in the hall? Need help finding you class or something?"
"Um, no I just ... I need to get to my locker but some people are in front of it."
"Oh, is that it over there? That's Fitz and his crew. He's a senior and likes to give freshmen and newbies a hard time every now and again, you just gotta approach him cautiously for a while. I can tell you're new especially how you're holding your books so tight. Loosen up, Central's not all that bad. By the way I'm Abby."
"Oh…umm I'm Olivia."
"Well Olivia, let's go get you to your locker." She said linking to Olivia's arm. Olivia felt every bit of awkward. It was as if she's never made contact with another human before.
"Hey! Fitz. You're blocking the lockers, care to move anytime soon? Preferably now?"
"Yeah, whatever man. Wait, is that a freshie? Guys! Look like we got a freshie on our hands." The guys hooped and hollered. "What's your name girl?"
"Her name's Olivia, now move."
"Olivia, is one of these lockers I was blocking yours."
"Fitz leave her alone! And yes, get out of the way!"
"I think I was talking to her Abby. Can she not talk? Cat got your tongue?"
Olivia remained silent and started clutching her books even tighter as well as Abby's arm.
"Mr. Grant!"
"Hey Mr. Beene, I'm not doing nothing, just patrolling the halls you know."
"It's funny how you're always patrolling the halls yet I don't recall Central having a Hallway Patrol group. Get in this classroom. NOW."
"Yes sir." Fitz waited for Mr. Beene to go into his classroom. "Well Olivia I guess I'll be seeing you around." He said as Olivia and Abby tried to hurriedly pass him and his group, but she bumped into bumped into him on accident and most of her books went flying to the floor. He grabbed her unlinked arm.
"You might wanna watch where you're going Olivia." He exploded in her face and knocked the remaining books out of her grasp.
Abby helped her pick up her books and helped her get into her locker.
"He takes a little while warming up to new people, but he'll come around. Do you want me to show you how to get to your class?"
"Umm.. yeah, sure. I guess. Here's my schedule."
"Oh swweeeett! We have our first three periods together! Let's go! This is going to be great I made a new friend! Wait, do you want to be friends?"
"Yeah sure. I could never have too many friends."
"This is going to be sooo much fun! C'mon let's go."
Yeah, this is going to be soooo much fun Olivia thought sarcastically to herself and rolled her eyes thinking back to Fitz why does he have to be so mean, she shook her head trying to get the memory out of her head.
