Chapter 2

When I arrived home from walking on the beach I went into my house and saw some of the unboxed boxes in the far left corner making me sigh wishing that my mom never got this stupid job transfer.

"Hey" my mom said coming into my new empty room.

"Hi" I mumbled sitting on my bed. "What do you want?" And she sighed.

"You'll be starting school tomorrow" she said and my eyes widen. "Maybe you'll make some new friends." And I shook my head.

"Doubt it" I mumbled and she sighed then walked out of the room and I felt a tear fall down my left cheek.

The next morning I woke up to my mom shaking me and the light turning on making my eyes burn.

"It's a little chilly outside so you should wear a long sleeve shirt or something" my mom said and I nodded going to my closet and pulling out a tank top with a cardigan and skinny jeans along with a pair of my black and white converse. "I bought some donuts from the store" and I raised an eyebrow then put my backpack over my left shoulder as I saw the time 6:21 so I grabbed a donut and sighed feeling the butterflies in my stomach.

"Good luck, make friends. I love you" .

When the bus finally arrived at the school my stomach twisted into a huge not and my heart began to race faster and faster everytime I got closer to inside. As I got inside everyone stared at me giving me strange looks so I pulled out my schedule that had my locker number and combination on it along with my classes.

As I was walking to my my first class I bumped into this guy making me drop all of my notebooks and he started to help me.

"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. I'm new, I'm sorry" I said stuttering and he chuckled.

"It's fine" He said grabbing my stuff and as I looked up I saw that it was Sawyer making me smile. "I should of been looking" and then he looked up and smiled.

"Hi" I said and he chuckled.

"Emily right?" He asked and I nodded.

"Sawyer?" I asked and he nodded his head. "Sorry ..do you know where room 301 is?" I asked and he smiled.

"Yeah that's my class" he said. "Follow me" and I did. "Good morning miss. Peck" as we walked into the class it was small and smelled like Apple Cinnamon

"Hi my name is Emily Stefani" I said handing her my schedule and she smiled.

"Oh you must be my new students! How great" she said and I smiled. "Welcome, you may sit in the back" and I did.

"Why is she here?" I heard a voice trying to whisper so I sighed and tried to cover my face then I saw that it was the girl from yeasterday making me roll my eyes.

When lunch finally rolled around I sat down outside by myself because I didn't have anywhere to sit and I didn't want to sit near the trash.

"Why are you out here?" A voice asked from behind so I tuned around to see Sawyer.

"Just wanted to be alone" I mumbled and he sat down next to me. "I'm pretty sure your girlfriend wouldn't like you out here with me" and he raised an eyebrow then laughed.

"You mean Hazel? She's not my girlfriend" he said and I could feel my checks warm up.

"Oh"

"Yeah, and thanks again for calling yeasterday we've been looking all over for winter" he said and I smiled.

"How did she get out?" I asked and he shrugged.

"Nobody know to be honest" he said and I chewed on my bottom lip.

"She's so pretty, she keep making a tweety bird sound" I said and he smiled then looked into my eyes.

"She likes you" He said and I smiled. "She was probley looking for me" and I raised an eyebrow.

"Why? "

"Because I've been gone for 3 months for this Semester at Sea thing" he said and my jaw dropped.

"You were the guy that got into that? I've always wanted to do that but they keep denying me" I said and he smiled. "No offense but how did you get in?"

"I still don't know, a professor from Boston came up to me and asked. It was a tough decision because Winter had just lost her friend Panama and was depressed until we found a new dolphin named Hope who lost her mom when she was little. It was hard." He said and I laughed. "So what's your next class after Advisory?" And I looked at my schedule again.

"Spanish" I said and he smiled.

"Same here!" He said and I smiled until Hazel came outside.

"Sawyer!" She said. "I need to-"

"I'll talk to you later" he said and she walked back inside. "Sorry" and I shook my head.

"It's fine, I know this will beat werid question but do you know where I could work around here?" I asked.

"At the aquarium, is all I can think of" he said and I smiled. "I can show you around, see how you like it and if you do then I'll figure something out" and I nodded my head then smiled.

"Thanks!"

"No problem, meet me here after school and I'll drive you to the Aquarium" he said and then the bell rung.
