a/n: i have heard of everything that has been happening. please stay safe, guys.

Tino pulled into the parking lot. There was a car loop, but since Y/N was new, they would have to sign her in at the main office while Peter and Raivis left for their home room. Getting in and signing the papers was easy, but getting Y/N calm and to her home room wasn't so easy.

When Emil and Tino had led her over to her home room, Y/N was actually hesitant on leaving Emil, as she had formed the small bond with him. Emil was reluctant to leave Y/N too, for the same reason she didn't want to leave him. However, he wished her good luck and left with Tino. Sighing as they left, Y/N began to slowly make her way into her home room and took a seat in the very back, where people would hopefully not see her. Not much longer after she took a seat, there was the same girl with fair skin from the open house who walked in and took a seat fairly close to her.

The bell rang shortly after, causing Y/N to jump. Ms. Elizabeth cleared her throat as she began to take roll. When she got to Y/N's name, there was no answer, causing her to call out again, "Y/N, are you here?"

All Y/N could do was raise her hand slightly and nod, making Ms. Elizabeth nod and smile, and she continued to take roll. She soon made it through all of the students' names, and then began her beginning of the year rant. It was the usual, safety, drug and weapon awareness. Once that was finished, she handed out beginning of the year folders to each student and began to go on about that- the papers to be signed and returned, and there was even an agenda in the folder.

The rants took up quite a bit of the time, and she finished off with, "I just know we'll have a great year together!" She looked up to the clock, "Well, you guys can have the rest of the class time to yourself. Don't be too loud though."

With that being said, most of the children in the class went off to talk to each other until the bell rang for first block. When the bell had finally rung, Y/N jumped. It took a little while to get to her, but she quickly grabbed up her bag, trying to get past the students that were shuffling into the room to learn math from Ms. Elizabeth. Once Y/N was finally out of the room, she looked down to her schedule. With knowing that she had difficulty with reading, she could only find her next classroom by looking at the numbers on the paper and tried to match them up with the signs outside of the class.

Skip to when Y/N finds her first class of the day…

It took Y/N quite some time to find her class. However, luckily for her, she walked in just as soon as the bell was ringing- which made her jump yet again -before she quickly made her way to the back of the class, where she took a seat, where she discovered that the same girl from her homeroom was sitting. Mr. Popescu was busy going through a few papers before smiling and getting up.

He cleared his throat before he began to speak, "Hello, and welcome to an interesting history class this year!" He only got groans in response, making him laugh slightly. One could also easily hear his thick accent, which would get inevitably thicker if he was angry, "My name is Mr. Popescu. Yes, I am Romanian, and no, I am not a vampire." Mr. Popescu began to rack through his mind, trying to think of what else to say. He decided that he would take attendance and pass out textbooks before he did anything else, and that's what he did.

When he came down to Y/N's name, there was no response, and he looked up. "Y/N Oxenstierna, please come up and get your textbook."

Y/N glanced up and nodded, feeling a bit of heat rise to her face. She quickly made her way up to get her textbook. Mr. Popescu could see that she was embarrassed and gave her a small smile in an attempt to tell her that it was alright, but she didn't bother to look up to him. All she did was get her textbook and make her way to the back of the room and over to her seat.

Skip to when Mr. Popescu has taken attendance and passed out the textbooks and syllabus…

Mr. Popescu looked up at the clock. They had homeroom today, which had cut the class off quite a bit. So, he decided that games would be played next class. He looked over his class, "Alright, class. We will be starting off the year with a project." More groans, causing him to chuckle. "Don't worry, this project will be fun! All you have to do now is pick a country. Your country is due to me next class. For now, you may use your phones and textbooks to do some research."

Most of the kids only groaned, but just took out their phones and tablets regardless. Even the girl who sat near Y/N had a phone. She was hesitant, but she decided that she would just do a project on her home country, France. As for Y/N… well, she wasn't so sure. She just sat there, staring blankly at her textbook while everyone else was busy doing research, up until the bell rang, which Y/N surprisingly didn't jump. The girl quickly grabbed up her stuff to leave.

Mr. Popescu then shouted above all of the chaos, "Goodbye! Have a good day!"

Skip to when Y/N finds her second class…

It took Y/N quite some time to find her next class yet again. However, thanks to the help of Raivis, she didn't have as much trouble as before. Her second class was an English class that helped kids who struggled with reading and such with Mr. Jones. She, like usual, made her way to the back of the slightly smaller classroom as Mr. Jones was making his way up towards the front, where he immediately began to take roll.

Just like with her homeroom and first block, Y/N didn't respond to Mr. Jones once he made it down to her name. Mr. Jones then called out, "Y/N? Y/N…" He looked at the last name and knew he was just going to completely butcher it, "Y/N, are you here?"

Y/N only looked up and nodded, making him smile softly as he continued to take roll. Once he finally finished that, he cleared his throat, "Alright, listen up. This class is an English and literature class, and hopefully you'll be out by the end of the year." His voice softened a bit, "But don't worry if you aren't. Everyone learns at their own pace." He then went on and on about his class and what it was all about. It was almost like Ms. Elizabeth's class, except just much less organized.

Once his long rant was over and he had passed out the syllabus, he then grabbed up another stack of papers from his desk and held them up, "Alright, today is going to be easy. Just fill in this 'About Me' sheet." He began to pass out the papers to everyone before walking back to his desk, where he watched as most of the students began writing.

Y/N still wasn't writing. She didn't even have a pencil out. All she did was just sit there, staring blankly at the paper, trembling violently. Mr. Jones noticed this, but didn't say anything. This went until the bell rang, and the whole school- with the exception of the kindergarteners -began to make their way to the cafeteria. The teachers waited however so the children could get food first.

Skip to when Y/N is at the cafeteria…

Y/N was one of the last ones to make it into the cafeteria. When she finally did however, she immediately froze. The cafeteria was huge- the south wall was covered in windows. On that side, there were a handful of tall tables and even a couple of booths. There were even more booths on the west side as well, and the rest of the tables were either round or rectangular.

Y/N felt her face beginning to flush as she felt her anxiety rising. There were so many people in this room… She didn't have any friends either, which only made the situation even worse for her. She just continued to stand there, obviously panicked as kids just walked past her like it was nothing, making their way to sit at tables with their friends and talk.

Mr. Vargas, Y/N's chorus teacher noticed this, and proceeded to help her, but another student was already making her way over to the other. Mr. Vargas sighed, but smiled slightly as he went off to get himself a salad.

The girl that had approached Y/N was just as tall as her. She had black hair, with a strange strand of hair that stuck out from the left. She had deep brown eyes and somewhat pale skin. Smiling softly, she looked over to Y/N, "Hi, I'm Mei." She got no response, and glanced around before looking back to Y/N, "Would you like to eat lunch with me?"

Still no response.

Mei looked over the cafeteria and realized that Y/N was probably scared of crowds. Shifting her tray over to only one hand, she gently grabbed Y/N's hand and began to lead her through the cafeteria, eventually leading her outside, where Y/N visibly calmed down quite a bit. Seeing this made Mei smile worriedly as she sat the other girl down, taking a seat across from her. "Here and the library are definitely the most quiet places in the school." Y/N actually nodded to that, but that was it.

Mei then realized that she hadn't asked Y/N's name, causing her to babble, "Oh, I'm so rude, I haven't even asked your name and just led you out here. I'm so sorry…" She just continued to babble on. Whenever she was apologetic, she always seemed to just go on and on of how sorry she was. However, she eventually just stopped, as she was getting no response.

When Mei still wasn't receiving any verbal answers, she was kind of confused, since she had only been with her loud brothers for her whole life. Having someone quiet around her was something new. "Oh, well… That's okay! Like I said earlier, my name is Mei. I just moved here from Taiwan with my family. Everything is so strange here, but in a cool way!" She flashed the girl another soft smile, but still no response.

That's when she realized something- she never let the other girl get any food! She gasped at that, making Y/N jump, "I'm so sorry! Here, do you want anything?" All she had left was applesauce and a roll, but that was better than nothing. She passed the tray over in the girl's direction, causing her to flinch. When Mei saw her flinch, she wanted to jump up and help Y/N.

It didn't take too long for her to realize that Y/N was flinching at her.

Mei felt guilt hit her hard, and she brought the plate back over to herself. She made sure to do it slowly though, so she wouldn't scare Y/N any further. "I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to startle you! Are you okay?"

To that, Y/N actually nodded, making Mei smile.

Skip to when lunch is over…

The bell rung, which actually didn't cause Y/N to jump this time. Mei looked over to Y/N, "Do you need me to walk you to class?"

Y/N shook her head.

Mei smiled, and waved goodbye to Y/N before they both began to make their way to class.
