I watch daddy put my things away before he turns and waves at me, i wave back before he disapears. I look around the room to keep myself distracted from the fact that lots of other kids will soon be in here and doing whatever it is they do, and also from the kids pen tapping against the table that is only growing louder! It's as if the teacher read my thoughts because she says "James please stop tapping your pen" it goes on for a few more seconds before a very soft 'sorry' is heard.

I turn in my seat and realise hes now crossed his arms over his chest, not in definance but it seems hes scared of something. He looks at me as a bunch of screaming girls run in, he has some sort of fear of loud noises! I give him a small smile and as i turn back he mumbles "Theo will you be my friend?" Loud enough for only me to hear, i nod and the fear in his eyes melts away as if all the loud things going on around us doesn't matter anymore.

A girl comes bouncing over and trips over someones foot, she falls onto me with a yell one hand on my chest the other on my desk. My breathing speeds up and i have to chant in my head 'your ok, your ok theo calm down' she moves away just as quickly as she fell and her hand moves onto my shoulder. Even James is knelt beside me "im sorry i didn't mean to scare you!" the girl says with wide panicked eyes and all i can do is shake my head and point to the guy that tripped her "his fault" she looks to where im pointing and rolls her eyes "that malcom he doesn't like newbies" oh crap this day is gonna be hell.

James goes back to his seat and the girl scurries to her own, which is two desks in front and she just mouths "im Luna" i smile a little as that means moon! I mouth back "im theo!" She giggles softly and turns to face the front as the teacher starts class. I listen for awhile but end up staring at the pigtails in luna's hair, the bell makes me jump as i realise the notes that are in front of me arnt mine! I look back at james who just smiles a little before we all scatter out of class.
