This is my first fic so please be nice. I DO NOT OWN HoA I wish I did… but anyway here it goes….
Sydney's POV
I looked up at the giant, imposing house before me. The entire school was big but I did not expect my house to be this big! I grabbed my bags and walked through the door of the house to be greeted by a rather short woman with black hair and dark skin. She was very pretty in a maternal sort of way, and I was struck with the thought that she looked like a very kind person, but I remembered that first impressions could be misleading.
As it turns out though, mine wasn't misleading at all. In fact, it was an understatement.
"Hello dear," the woman said sweetly, "you must be Sydney. I'm sure that the kids will be excited to meet you when they get back from school."
I smiled back at her trying to think of something to say, but I was suffering from jet-lag and I was too tired to do anything but smile and nod.
The woman introduced herself as Trudy and helped me carry my bags up to my new room.
After a short nap, I began unpacking, making sure to save some room in the closet for my future roommate.
A few minutes later, Trudy called me downstairs. I assumed that the other kids were back from school because it was definitely not time for dinner yet.
I was on a roll today! I was right again! Eight teenagers like me stood in the foyer, looking up at me as I came down the steps. There was a boy with dark hair and eyes, another with blonde hair and a sweatshirt on under his uniform jacket, one with dark skin sort of like Trudy's, and then one with dirty blonde hair swept back from his face in a weird little wave. The former two had a mischievous look about them and I immediately pegged them as pranksters. The four girls were all so pretty and nice looking and I hoped that they would be nice to me. I like to fit in. one girl had curly brown hair, another reddish brown with colorful streaks in her hair, one with black hair and dark skin who looked kind of Indian, and one with gently curled blonde hair and a round face.
The curly brown haired girl stepped forward and said, "Hi! I'm Nina! You must be the new student, Sydney; I hope we can be friends!"
This girl was obviously very nice and perky, and I was surprised to hear that she had an American accent like me.
Then the other girls stepped forward and introduced themselves. The reddish-brown haired one was Patricia, the Indian-looking girl was Mara, and the blonde was Amber.
The boys then stepped forward and introduced themselves: the brown haired brown eyed boy was Fabian (what kind of a name was that? Oh, I'm so mean, don't answer that), the blond boy with the hoodie was Mick. The dark-skinned boy introduced himself as Jerome and the dirty blond introduced himself as Alfie. Mick elbowed them and told me that it was the other way around. Okay…I thought to myself, so dirty Blondie's Jerome and the other guy is Alfie. Because that's not confusing.
I smiled at them and introduced myself even though there wasn't really a need to do so, because they all already seemed to know my name.
I was quite content right then because I had a feeling that we would all be great friends, and I had been right all day, so there was no reason for me to start being wrong right then. And I don't believe that I was.
Sorry that it's sort of short! Please don't judge, constructive criticism accepted though! Three new chars coming soon, so look out for them. I only own Sydney and the three other newbies! REVIEW!n (please)
