This was a day to be full of dread. Not only was this a new city and new state but for Andy it was his first day of school, High School to be exact. Once he lived in a rural place in Omaha, Nebraska now he's in the suburbs of Royal Woods Michigan along with his mother although, considering she was making up her own words to the songs on the radio, which were weird and silly, while driving him to school, the young man didn't know if it was a good thing or bad thing. Eh its probably a mix of both he thought. Still even with his Mom being funny he still had butterflies in his stomach. His palms were sweaty, so much so that he kept wiping them on his blue jeans and they never seemed to get dry. He thought about putting his hands in his favorite gray hoodie's pockets but he figured that'd make it worse. His antsy behavior was noticed by his mother and she stopped her singing to talk to her son.

"Andy" she said in a calm voice "I know you are nervous. Its your first day at high school it happens to everyone."

Andy looked out the window "But its worse than that. I don't really care about being a freshman but I'm gonna be in a school where I don't know anybody." the boy said in a monotone voice. "I had a hard time making friends back home but I still had some people. Here I'm just and outsider..."

As soon as those words exited his mouth his mom retorted with a kind yet firm voice "Andreas Moreno. You will be fine. Just behave the best that you can. At worse you'll be by yourself for a little and at best you'll have a great friend to rely on and vice versa." Andy was gonna reply but got cut off, "I know my little monkey will have a good day. Now quit worrying. Everything will be okay."

For a moment the young man stayed silent but then he said "I'll worry less..."

A smile spread on her face to reassure him. "Now that that's out of the way do you want to hear me sing some more?" in which the Andy shouted "Nooo!"

The Royal Woods High School street was jam packed with cars, vans and trucks from parents trying to drop off their kids. Andy's mom, at first, was determined to drop him off directly in front of the school, much to his protest. But after a while she became fed up with traffic and just dropped him off on the sidewalk where he walked to the entrance of the school and into the school. The school was filled with a sea of teenagers, chatting, laughing and shouting but all Andy wanted to do was to get to the first class of the day, which was History. When he got to the class room he sat in the back of the room at the farthest corner from the door. Once he got situated he looked around the room since he had nothing else to do. It was a regular classroom, there was a white board but Andy didn't know if it was a marker board or one of those high tech projection boards. The walls were decorated with posters of History related stuff such as the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The bell rung before the boy could look around even more and a few kids trickled into the classroom, many sitting along with their friends. Andy simply minded his business at first but then someone caught his eye. It was a girl who seemed different from the rest. She had short brown hair, freckles on her face with some earrings that looked like paperclips. She wore a purple t-shirt that had a skull on it, a lavender plaid skirt with a white belt around it and purple boots. On her wrists were bracelets and she wore a choker on her neck. She kinda looks like a rock-star was what came to his mind. It was only further enforced when he heard her speak to others using words like bro, dude and other things he imagined rockers would say. It was a cool sight to behold. Not many people seemed to give off a rock-star impression so Andy was very intrigued. Curiosity turned into panic when the girl noticed Andy was looking at her to which he swiftly turned his head to the other side. It was fortunate that the class started not long after that so Andy had a sigh of relief. However this wasn't the end of this significant day for Andy and the Rock-Star.

Once history was finished the youth made the quickest escape he could and made it to his next class. Thinking to himself Whew...That was terrifying. And embarrassing. I hope she forgets about this or better yet I hope this is the only class I have with the rock-star.

Little did he know that on his third class of the day she once again was Andy's classmate and to make matters worse the teacher was...one of those people.

"Alright everyone!" the older man chirped "Welcome to Literature 1! I am Mr. Hicks and I will be your teacher for this semester! Now before we get to the nitty gritty I think everyone should introduce themselves! It seems fair that we get to know each other since we are in the same boat for half a year!"

Some kids groaned, a luxury Andy wish he had but he was too busy being paralyze with fear.

"If everyone could please rise out of your seat, give us your name and a fact about yourself! We'll start with you!" Mr Hicks signaled towards a young boy who was at the left of the class. Andy was in the middle but to him it was all the same. He was never one to be the center of attention with people he didn't know especially when one of them was the rock-star, who saw him stare at her. Then the moment of judgment came, it was his turn to make himself know.

Trying to make a calm and composed face he rose from his desk and began talking. "Uh…. My name is Andreas Moreno…. I prefer Andy cause i-its shorter and uh…" as he talked he tried to look at his peers in their eyes but most were spacing out or looking at their phones or, in one case with this kid, counting the sides of his pencil. There was one exception though: the rock-star, who was paying well attention and had a small but gentle smile on her face. Andy thought Why are you smiling? Pretty sure you should be creeped out by me cause, you know, I stared at you earlier! But the young man had one problem to deal with which was finishing this embarrassing introduction "uh I love pizza." Once that corny, yet very true, fact was announced Andy sat straight back down with a lighter feeling to himself.

Mr. Hicks, being his usual cheery self responded "Excellent introduction Andreas! And might I say you have a wonderful name!" To which the young man replied with a stammered thank you. As the remaining students introduced themselves Andy was left to his thoughts as to why the rock-star seemed courteous and without a hint of disgust during his intro. His thoughts were cut short when he noticed that the last person to be introduced was the girl in question. Mr. Hicks signaled towards her and she rose up and spoke.

"Whats up dudes and dudettes? My name is Luna Loud and I want to be a famous Rock Star!"

It didn't come as a surprise to Andy but he still couldn't help but be in awe by this girl and her deceleration, not only for being up front about it but to be so ambitious. She's so cool! I wonder what kind of rock genre she plays. Maybe Metal? he thought. Guess I'll have to wait and see.

"What an aspiring goal Luna! I'm certainly pumped by your enthusiasm!" Mr. Hicks said although Andy thinks the man is usually pumped given his personality. Still the boy agreed with his teacher and felt a little less fearful of Luna Loud.

Lunch time came during fourth period and the school was just as hectic as it was in the morning. Andy was walking outside of the cafeteria area. He was munching on some chips at the time when he glanced around and saw Luna Loud talking to some girls. They didn't seem like people she would hang out with due to their appearances. One had large blonde hair, hard to miss, and gave off a mature impression, the second one had a lighter shade of blonde hair, which was long, and some sunglasses laying on the top of her hair who acted cheery and the third had light brown hair in a ponytail and had braces who was laughing while Luna and the other two girls seemed to groan. It wasn't until he dropped a chip that he changed his line of sight, which he was thankful for because he didn't want to repeat what happened this morning.

The final class of the day was study hall but the teacher didn't care about what the students did cause she was too busy doing a crossword puzzle books. Andy found himself in the same class as Luna Loud though he wasn't as nervous as he was in Literature. Oddly enough Luna sat much closer to Andy's right, practically at the next table, but the guy simply shrugged it off and proceeded to do his homework.

He was halfway done with his math paper when Luna turned to him "You're Andreas right?" She asked.

Stunned by this question that was just so casual and out of the blue, the boy answered, "Uh...yeah but I prefer Andy. Seems like older people just call me Andreas like my mom and Mr. Hicks."

The girl nodded and continued speaking "Gotcha. My bad dude. Its been a long day cause its school and all that." Without pause Andy replied "I understand. It honestly feels like purgatory here. Can't tell if I still have my soul left"

Luna chuckled at his comment which made him feel much more at ease. His comfort on the other hand was being disrupted by his hoodie, which he wore all day long, so he decided to take it off. He zipped the hoodie down and revealed a white graphic t-shirt with the black prints of four men and the words Noir Coven.

Once Luna caught sight of the shirt her eyes widened with glee. "Dude! You like Noir Coven!?" she asked excitedly.

The young man looked at her surprised. "Yeah. I like Coven. They're one of my favorite classic rock bands. Do you like them too?"

The young rocker was nodding her head, which made Andy excited. "Yeah both Fozzy Fozborne and Donnie Ames Neo versions! I know some people are like 'You must pick one or the other' but I think they're both good."

"Oh no doubt." Andy replied "But honestly there is one song that I heard by the Neo version thought I'd like to hear other ones. You got any recommendations?"

The girl said yes and wrote down a list of songs the Neo's Coven did, much to Andy's glee. The two spent the remainder of the class talking about their favorite Noir Coven songs, why they liked it and talked about the lyrics until the bell rang.

The young man just got done putting some textbooks away in his locker when he saw the rocker making her way towards the entrance of the school to leave home. At first he wanted to get out as well but he felt compelled to ask Luna something. Eventually he made his mind up and decided to talk to her. He made his way through the crowed of teenagers as fast and as politely as he could till he reached the rocker.

"Luna" he said which made her turn and greeted him.

"Hey dude. Whats up?"

Andy felt very awkward about what he was gonna ask but he had a feeling that Luna wouldn't judge him for it and with that he started talking "Well...uh...I know we just met and your first impression with me was weird because… you know I was staring at you.. but that's because you stood out to me." Luna said "uh-huh" in the middle but Andy continued. "And now that I talked to you I really think you're cool and awesome...I just basically said the same thing" The girl chuckled lightly at the mistake but remained polite. "This is gonna sound childish but would you….you know be my friend? I don't know many people here..."

As he trailed off Luna decided to answer his question. "You know dude at first I thought you were a weirdo staring at me." Ouch thought the young man. "But when you introduced yourself in Mr. Hicks class I realized that you're a shy person. And after we talked about Coven I got a better impression of you." Andy was dumbfounded by what the rocker said and could only follow up with a weak thanks. Luna smiled and finished off her sentence "Point is I'd be glad to have you as a friend. Here lets trade numbers." She pulled out her phone, as did he, and they traded numbers.

When they finished the mature girl from earlier called for Luna and the girl turned and responded "I'll be right there!" She then turned back and said "Cool! I'll text you when I get home! Its nice meeting you Andy."

As Luna was leaving she wished Andy a good rest of the day and made her way to the mature girl. The boy did a little wave and breathe a sigh of relief. He then made his way outside, saw his mom in her green car and made his way towards the car.

Upon entering Ms. Moreno, with a smile asked, "Hey buddy. Did you have a good day at school?"

Andy, who returned the grin back answered "Yes. The classes were classes but it was a good day. I made a friend!"

As soon as she heard her son say that the older woman's eye lit up. "That's good hijo! This calls for a celebratory concert, sung by yours truly!"

Normally Andy would have told his mom to stop the car so he could get out but he was too overjoyed at his new founded friendship. This day filled him with dread but it ended with joy. He looked out the car window with a smile and thought to himself I wonder what good thing will happen next?
