Poppy's POV:
I was currently standing in front of the new house my mother and I were going to be living in for awhile, inspecting it. It was a very pretty two story house with a long walkway that had a few flowers here and there.
I guess this will be okay, I thought to myself before starting to descend down the walkway, towards the house.
Once I was inside I was astonished to how beautiful it was, yet it had a very homey look to it also. I wandered around, checking out the house, until I came to what would be my room, and peered inside.
Needless to say, I loved my new room. I finally had my own bathroom, and I had a window seat that overlooked my entire street. Everything about it was perfect.
When I was almost done putting everything away and where I wanted it, I heard my mom calling me from downstairs.
"Yeah mom?" I called, walking into the living room.
"How are you settling in?" She smiled sweetly.
"Good. I love my room, everything seems perfect." I smiled back.
"That's good to hear, I'm glad you like it."
"Yeah now all I have to do is go make some friends tomorrow!" I joked.
"Oh don't worry about it, I bet you'll make a ton."
"Thanks mom. I'm just nervous because it's a new school and everything, but I'm sure I'll do fine."
"I bet you will."
I smiled. "Well I'm going to go finish settling in and then go to sleep, I don't want to be tired on my first day."
"Alright, goodnight honey, I love you!"
"Love you too mom, goodnight." I called back.
As I climbed the stairs and went back to my room, I sighed and thought, well I've got a big day ahead of me tomorrow.
Next Morning:
I woke up right on time and got dressed to go to school then went downstairs to get something to eat for breakfast.
"Morning honey." My mom said, handing me a plate of food.
"Mornin' Mom." I replied and sat down to eat quickly.
"So are you excited?"
"To start school? A little I guess, but I'm also a bit nervous."
"You'll do fine." She reassured me.
"Thanks ma." I said, handing her my now empty plate, "Well I better get going I don't want to be late."
"Bye Poppy, good luck."
I smiled and headed out the door, walking down the street towards my new school.
Whitechapel High was very…..interesting to say the least. It was a very big school and it seemed like everyone knew their place.
I began to worry that I might not make any friends but then thought, I have to make at least one friend right?"
I sighed and entered the administrative office, and went up to the lady at the main desk.
"Hello, how can I help you?" She smiled sweetly.
"Hi, my name's Poppy Rose and I'm new here, I was told to come here and pick up my schedule."
"Ah yes, I have it right here." She replied, picking up a paper on her left.
"Thank you." I said, taking the paper.
"You're welcome sweetie, have a good first day!"
I nodded a Thank You then turned to go out the door, looking over my schedule.
As I was walking out of the office and into the hall I bumped into someone and almost lost my balance.
"Whoa I'm really sorry. I should really look where I'm going." I said, looking up at who I bumped into.
It was a tall boy that was maybe 16 I think? He had slightly curly hair, hazel eyes, and was wearing a striped polo.
He was just staring at me but I couldn't really make out his expression.
"Uh….is something wrong?" I asked curiously.
He finally snapped out of it and said, "No sorry I was just uh….." He trailed off before continuing, "Are you new here?"
"Yeah today's my first day, I just moved here yesterday."
"Oh…..Well I'm Benny."
"I'm Poppy." I replied, smiling.
"Well since you're new here would you like some help with anything?"
"Well I would like some help finding my locker and my first class, I don't know where anything is."
"Alright." He smiled and I handed him my schedule.
"Hey your locker is right next to mine!" He exclaimed.
"Really?" I asked, pushing back a piece of my curly light brown hair out of my face.
"Yeah, that's crazy!"
I just smiled at him and he said, "Wanna know something even crazier?"
"What?"
"We have every single class together!"
"Seriously?"
"Yup! At least this way you'll never get lost."
"True." I laughed.
"Well here's your locker." He said, pointing at a blue locker on my right.
"Thanks." I smiled, putting in the combo.
"No prob." He replied, leaning against his locker.
I put some of my stuff away then turned back to him as the bell rang to get to class.
"Right on time." I said, laughing a bit.
He smiled and we started walking to our first class which was…..I glanced at the schedule in my right hand, English.
"So uh, Poppy where did you move from?"
"California." I replied, smiling.
"Whoa that's far."
"Yeah, crazy huh?"
"What's it like in California?" He asked curiously.
"Well it's very sunny and the weather is really bi-polar."
"Wow so did you live near Hollywood and see all kinds of movie stars and stuff every day?" He said excitedly.
"Yes and no." I laughed, "It's actually pretty hard to see that stuff there, you gotta know where to look."
"Oh." He replied, sounding a little disappointed.
By this time we were already entering the class and Benny showed me where to sit, there was a desk that was always unoccupied, which was conveniently located right in front of his. I smiled at my new friend and I could already tell that today was going to be a good day.
