We get through P.E. with Coach Finstock continuously yelling at someone named Greenberg. No one looked fazed by his yelling, but I could've sworn there was no one named Greenburg in the class. We have two more periods to get through before lunch and I can't wait because I am starving. My stomach growled like a wolf in my science class and Allison burst out laughing. That got us a glare from the teacher, Mr. Harris.
In my fourth period, I see Isaac sitting next to some guy, with honey colored eyes and brown hair. He's wearing a plaid shirt over a graphic t shirt. He's talking a lot and I hear the name Derek. This must be Stiles. Isaac sees me and his eyes light up. I still can't get the image of his eyes turning gold out of my head, but it must have just been the light in the hallway.
"Lily, get over here. I want you to meet Stiles. Stiles this is Lily, the girl version of you. Lily, this is Stiles, the guy version of you."
"Hi, I'm Lily and I heard that Isaac and Lydia are your best friends so in some way they would be good friends for me. I also heard you're dating someone named Derek. I think I used to know a Derek. I actually probably know two. There was this one kid who licked my face cause I had pudding on it." After I say that my eyes widened. "Oh my gosh I didn't mean to say that I promised myself I would never mention it again because it's just really embarrassing and I'm just gonna shut up now."
Stiles and Isaac just stare at me for a few beats. Then Isaac burst out laughing and I take a seat next Stiles to hide my embarrassed expression. Stiles, turns to me and says one thing.
"You're my new best friend."
I give him a small smile and turn to the front of the room.
I get through that class with a growling stomach and Isaac and Stiles laughing every single time. When the bell rings, I dash out of my seat and out the door to go to my locker. I open it and put all my books I got from my classes inside. I close it, and squeal when I see Isaac standing right by me. He chuckles.
"Let's go to the cafeteria, and then you could meet Lydia.
I follow him and as we walk side by side, his hand brushes against mine. A chill runs down my spine and I shiver. I look up at Isaac and notice I've barely registered our height difference. He's like a giant compared to me. I start to feel like a baby next to him. He's a gorgeous gazelle, and I'm a baby penguin. We reach the doors of the cafeteria and he opens the door for me. I walk in and am overwhelmed by how many people I see. I look over and try to look for Allison and Stiles. I see them next to Scott and a girl with long, perfect red hair. That must be the wonderful Lydia. I see Isaac walk over to them and I walk after him to catch up. We get to the table and Isaac sits across from them so I sit next to him. I say hi to Allison, Scott, and Stiles. When Lydia sees me she looks me over and nods her head. I feel really uncomfortable under her gaze.
"I love your shirt." She says.
"Thank you I love your entire outfit." I say which is true because she's wearing a blue dress with pink flowers on it and awesome high heels that I would wear anywhere.
Right before she can respond my stomach growls again and Allison, Isaac and Stiles burst out laughing, I put my head down on the table and think, why is this, my life.
"Let's go get some food." Isaac says.
"Okay," I respond, "I can totally get with that.
We get in line and get our trays, then we go back to the table and I barely talk. But I do tell them about my dad and how my mom died a year ago and that's it. I don't tell them about what happened in my old town or how some things in my life have just been off.
The bell rings and I go to my last period of the day with Allison. Nothing exciting happens, and before I know it my dad is picking me up. I tell him about my day and how I already made friends and, he tells me that his first shift at the hospital starts tonight, so he'll cook, and then leave. We get to our new house and I stare at it. We bought it after the old owners moved to London. I look across the street and see a house, surrounded by old caution tape and crumbling away. I wonder what happened there. I get out of the car and walk up the stairs. Today wasn't such a terrible day, I think.
