I'm about to tell you a story. A story about a girl that used to be happy and friendly.

A short girl with raven black hair stepped into the school. Her mother stood beside her, smiling at her wonderful daughter.

The girl smiled back and started walking into the school. She went into the hall and saw many students. Eyes searching frantically then suddenly stopped. She saw her pre-school friend, Nicole. Nicole saw her too, and smiled like crazy.

The girl's mother then took her hand and led her to a table. There sat a woman smiling brightly.

'What is her name?', the woman asked.

'Zoe', her mother replied back.

The girl didn't understand what was going on. Why are you telling her my name? Why are you giving her a card (Authors Note: Her Identity Card)? She stared at her mom, questions spilling out of her mouth.

Her mother chuckle and the woman just smiled.

'Dear, the woman smiling at you over here is a teacher. I'm giving her your name and IC so she can register you into the system.', her mother said.

The girl nodded and smiled brightly at the teacher.

After the registering was done. Her mother let go of her hand and the teacher asked her to join the line of students. The girl didn't think about hesitating and walked over. She stood next to Nicole.

The headmistress according to what the teacher said while pointing at her, was giving a speech on stage. The girl was only listening partly and her mind was only filled with thoughts.

What will school be like? Are teachers always nice? Are the boys here mean? Is there a playground? Are classes boring? Will I be lonely?

What if I get lost? Is there a map?

She felt someone nudge her and snapped out of her thoughts. Nicole looked at her with a look.

'You overthink too much. I'm sure questions will be answered later.' Nicole said.

'What if they aren't?', the girl questioned.

'I'm sure they will.', Nicole replied.

Satisfied with her friend's answer, she turn her head back to face the stage and started listening.

After an hour, they were being separated into classes. Luckily, she was in the same class as Nicole. The group was led to a classroom and they chose a random seat.

The girl looked around, there were at least 20 to 25 people in this class.

In front of her were 2 guys, and at the back, there were 3 girls.

The 2 guys started talking, and the girl could see they were becoming good friends. She wanted to join in, but a simple 'Hello' wouldn't even come out. She stayed quiet and just listen to them chat.

She felt the sense of lonliness starting to grow. Nicole realize what her friend was thinking and said a 'hello' to the guys in front. She snapped to attention and saw the guys turn around and stared.

A few minutes of akwardness passed and they turned back and continued chatting. Nicole looked at them in surprise, but covered up quickly.

They gave each other a look and both thought the same thing:

Boys are rude and are never to be trusted. Lesson learned.
