"Hello, I'm Helena." The girl said with a british accent, holding out her hand.

Myka grabbed her hand, gave it quick shake and said "I'm Myka."

"It's very nice to meet you Myka." Helena said with a smile.

"Nice to meet your too. You ready for your tour?" Myka asked.

"Very much so." Helena replied.

Myka led the two out of the office and into the halls of the school, "Can I see your schedule?" Myka asked.

Helena handed Myka her schedule and she looked over it, realizing that they had some of the same classes, and the same lunch.

"You like science?" Myka asked, after seeing physics on her schedule as well as chemistry. "Most of the kids don't even take Chemistry their sophomore year let alone physics." She continued.

"Yes, I do. But would you be so kind as to explain to me what that means?" Helena said, pointing at a section on the top of her schedule.

"Oh, that's your homeroom, It's where you start, it's like ten minutes and the announcements are read and papers and stuff are handed out. You have Ms. Degise, I'm in that homeroom too, so I can show you where that is after we get your books from the library." Myka explained.

"Ah, I see. I'm not quite familiar with all of this yet." Helena said, following Myka down the hall and into the library.

"Did you just move here?" Myka asked.

"To Colorado Springs? No, we moved last year, but my parents home schooled me for the first year of high school. But we moved to the United States when I was twelve, we lived in New York City before we moved here." Helena told her, somehow feeling that she could trust this girl whom she had just met moments before.

"Why did you move so much?" Myka wondered.

"Well my father works for Tidal Banks, he's one of the business managers and he was transferred from London to New York, then he decided to take a job in smaller city so we moved here." Helena told her.

"That's cool, I guess. I've never been anywhere but Colorado, my parents don't really like to travel." Myka said, leading her up to the librarians desk in the library.

"Well, moving twice isn't exactly fun." Helena said with a tone Myka couldn't quite identify, but sounded something like melancholy.

"Well…um…We'll just get your textbooks and then I'll show you where all of your classrooms are." Myka said, handing Helena's schedule to the librarian to get the books.

"Alright." Helena said.

They waited in silence for a few minutes while the librarian gathered Helena's textbooks before Myka grabbed half of the stack and they stashed them in Helena's new locker.

"Those textbooks are rather heavy." Helena commented as they walked though the hall to Ms. Degise's room to show her where it was.

"Yeah, didn't you have heavy textbooks last year?" Myka asked as they climbed a flight of stairs to the second floor.

"No, I was taught at home by person tutors." Helena said.

"Really? You were homeschooled?" Myka asked, as they neared the classroom.

"Well I believe to be homeschooled you're parents have to teach you, but I was taught by outside teachers who would come to my home." Helena explained.

"Oh, I take it your rich then." Myka said bluntly.

"Well, my father is. But I can assure you my families wealth has no effect on whom I choose to associate with." Helena said without hesitating.

"Well, it's sounds like you say that a lot." Myka said.

"That is simply because everyone assumes wealth equals narcissism, and while I will admit I am a bit egotistical It is not due to wealth." Helena said, winking at the last part.

Myka looked down at the ground, hiding her smile as she stopped in front of Ms. Degise's room.

"Well, this is our homeroom, you think you can remember where it is?" Myka asked.

"I believe I will manage." Helena said.

They spent the rest of the tour in light conversation about sports, and different school activities as Myka showed her where each of her classrooms were and compared their schedules to one another.

"Well, if you need anything don't hesitate to ask…do you have a cellphone?" Myka asked, as they walked back to the student services office at the end of the tour.

"Yes, I do." Helena replied.

"Do you want my phone number?" Myka asked, Helena raised her brow. Myka quickly realized how had sounded and added "In case you have any questions about school, or class or something." She said blushing.

"We've only just met and you're already giving me your phone number, well..well..well." Helena said jokingly as she pulled a phone from her pocket and handed it to Myka.

"I didn't mean it like-" Myka stuttered out.

"I know Darling, it's just ever so fun to tease people. Now would you like to put your phone number into my contacts or not." Helena said with a laugh.

"Phone number…right." Myka said, looking down at the phone in her hands. She quickly added her number and handed it back to Helena before saying "Well, the bell is gonna ring soon, I guess I'll see you later then."

"Indeed, you will." Helena said as Myka walked off in the direction of her next class before she did the same.

Myka couldn't pay any attention to the lesson that was being taught because all she could think about was Helena. Helena who seemed incredibly smart based on her schedule. Helena who was mysterious and british. Helena who had three classes with her, so she would have to see her later that day. Helena who she was pretty sure was flirting with her before. The same girl who was now setting her mind running rampant in a state of exhilaration and confusion all at the same time because she was beginning to feel things she hadn't ever felt before. But before she could continue her thoughts she felt a tap on her shoulder and looked up to find Pete standing in front of her.

"Dude, the bell rang, It's time for lunch." Pete said, worried about his friend.

"Oh, sorry." Myka said, quickly packing her backpack up and standing up.

"What's wrong?" Pete asked immediately after they were in the hallway.

"Nothing, just thinking. And i'm tired." Myka said.

"You sure?" Pete asked, not quite believing her.

"Yeah, I'm fine. But I am hungry." Myka said, trying to change the subject.

"Me too, I'm gonna go get a burrito, let me guess, either a sub or a salad?" Pete said, predicting her usual lunch.

"Sub today." Myka said with a smile as they walked into the lunch room and placed their bags down at their usual table.

They parted ways for a few minutes to get into the separate lunch lines before meeting back up at the table to find the rest of the gang already there with their lunches.

"How did you guys get here before us?" Pete asked immediately after sitting down at the table.

"We all went in the main lunch line, it goes like ten times faster dude." Claudia said.

Myka was about to protest but before she could she heard the familiar british accent from behind her ask "Do you mind if I join you?".

"Helena." Myka said surprised "Uh no, I mean yes, I mean…Yeah you can join us."

"Thank you." Helena said, moving the other side of the round table and sitting across from Myka.

"Um, Helena, this is Pete, Steve, Claudia and Abigail." Myka said introducing her to each person "Everyone, this is Helena. She's the new student." Myka finished.

"It's nice to meet all of you." Helena said to the group.

"So you're like, from a different country?" Pete asked with his mouth full of food.

"Pete, close your mouth that's gross." Myka said, slapping him on the shoulder.

"Oww…fine." Pete whined.

"Well I was born in London." Helena answered politely.

"Cool." Pete said, continuing to stuff his face.

"So what kinda classes are you in?" Claudia asked.

"Would it be easier if I just let you look at my schedule? Because people have been asking me that all day and the only thing they've wanted to know is if we are in any of the same classes." Helena said.

"Yeah, that'd be easier." Claudia shrugged as Helena handed her her class schedule.

"Wow, you're in three classes with Myka…make sure you're her partner for group projects, you'll get an A no problem." Claudia told her with a smile and a side glance at Myka.

"Claudia!" Myka said, narrowing her eyes at the young red-head.

"I'm perfectly capable of getting an A by myself, but that doesn't mean I won't still be partners with Myka." Helena said, with a laugh. Watching as Myka blushed and looked down at her food.

"So Helena, tell us about yourself." Steve said, noticing Myka's embarrassment and trying to steer the conversation away from her.

"Wow, you people do not waste any time with formalities I see." Helena said with a laugh.

"Well, If Myka trusts you enough to let you sit here then you gotta be a cool person, so we want to know what we're in for." Claudia explained.

"I see…Well, as you already know I was born in England, but after that I moved to New York City, then to here. I have one brother, Charles, who is currently in his first year of college at a school back in England. What else would you like to know?" Helena asked.

"What's your middle name?" Claudia asked quickly.

"Why do you have to know everyone's middle names?" Abigail asked her annoyed.

"Easier to google them when I have their full name." Claudia said honestly.

"Well I'm afraid if you google me you won't find much. My fathers work keeps our family's business fairly private, so aside from a few speeding tickets on my brother's behalf there is not much to find. But if you must, my full name is Helena George Wells." She told them.

"You're name is seriously H.G. Wells? Myka's gonna love that." Pete said, looking at Myka.

"Ah, so you are a fan of his work?" Helena asked Myka softly.

"More like a super fan! She's probably read all his stuff a billion times." Pete clarified.

"Well I am afraid to say I have no relation to him, I was supposed to be a boy so they picked out the name George before I was born. Needless to say there was a problem with that, so they just kept it as my middle name." Helena explained.

"Well, I have some homework to do, so I'm gonna go..um…to Leena's room to finish it up. I'll see you guys later." Myka said quickly before rushing out of the cafeteria.

"And who may I ask is Leena?" Helena asked them once Myka had left.

"She's the school's therapist, she has a room next to her office so that students can come in and do homework or just chill for a bit." Claudia explained.

"Ahh, I see. And does Myka go there often?" Helena wondered.

"A couple times a week. Usually when she needs to get homework done without being interrupted, or…" Pete said before realizing what could be going on and jumping up out of his seat saying "I have to go." Before running off from the lunch room.

Pete ran down the hall, much to the disdain of the monitors in the hallways but since he was going so fast no one wanted to try and stop him so they just let him go. He ran towards Leena's room and when he saw the room he looked through the window in the door and saw Myka, sitting on the couch reading a book.

"Hey Mykes. You okay?" Pete asked, slowly entering the room.

"Pete? Yeah I'm fine, what are you doing here?" Myka asked, putting her book down next to her.

"I'm making sure you're okay." Pete replied, sitting down next to her on the couch.

"I'm fine…Why wouldn't I be."

"Well you said you had a lot of work to do, but you told me before lunch that you didn't have any homework except math so far…Then you ran off here…and you only come here if you have work or if you're…not fine." Pete said cautiously.

"No Pete, I'm good. I promise. I just wanted some peace and quiet, and it was really loud in the lunch room." Myka explained.

"Are you sure?" Pete asked, still worried.

"Yeah Pete, I haven't been 'not fine' in over a month." Myka told him.

"You just seem off Mykes and I just want to make sure you're okay." Pete said.

"Okay, I wasn't gonna tell you but…Leena talked to my parents and they all thought the best course of action was to put me on some sort of anti depressants. I started them last month and they really helped. I just didn't want to tell anyone cause it's embarrassing. So you don't need to worry anymore okay?" Myka said, looking down.

"Okay, One..It's not embarrassing Myka. If it makes you feel better then it's a good thing. And Two…I will never not worry about you okay. You're my best friend and you're like my sister so no. I won't stop worrying about you. And if you do have another 'not fine' day you know you can talk to me right." Pete said.

Myka hesitated for a moment before saying: "It's just hard okay? Sam used to sit there with us last year and he'd join in on your stupid conversations and It's been weird this year, not having him there. I thought everything else would be weird, but it just seems like going to lunch has hit me the hardest, and I don't know why." Myka said, trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall.

"It's because that's when you would see him the most during school, that's when you'd get to talk and be together, since you didn't have any classes with him." Pete said, trying to help.

"Every day when we go to lunch I stare at his empty seat for a few seconds and I see his face but then it slowly fades into his tombstone and I can't look at it." Myka told him.

"And then that Helena girl sat down there." Pete said, finally understanding.

"I don't know Pete, it's just that nobody's sat there since he died. I don't care if she sits there, it's just that nobody has." Myka said, trying and failing to express how she was feeling.

"Well, how about tomorrow she sits there and if you still feel weird about it we'll pull up a different chair for her. Okay?" Pete suggested.

"Okay." Myka replied. "Oh and Pete…Thank you." She finished.

"No problem Mykes, now do you want to keep reading in here until lunch is done, or do you want to go back?" Pete asked her.

"I think I'll stay in here for the last half hour, but you can go back if you want." Myka told him.

"Not a chance, if you're staying then so am I."
