Loren didn't know, but something about Adalhia made her feel like they've known each other for a while.

"I don't mean to be rude, but have we met before?" Loren asked.

"No, it's fine, actually no we have not met, I am actually a transfer student from Michigan."

"Oh thats so cool, well trust me you'll like it here, well I guess if you like the city, I am actually from the valley so it's a little more calm, but I hope you enjoy it."

"Thanks, actually I thin I am going to like it here since it is my first day and I've just met a new friend."

Loren was a little curious to why she was at a graveyard on her fist day, but she she didn't want to ask, maybe a relative was burried there. Loren said goodbye and left because it was getting late and she knew that tomorrow she didn't only have to face another day with knowing Eddie was gone, but school started again.

Loren got home and headed straight to her room, she didn't even bother to put on her pajamas because she knew she wouldn't be able to sleep. Loren just laid in her bed and all she could do was remember all those times she spent with Eddie.

—

Tears were still running down Loren's face, she just couldn't believe that Eddie was gone, but she felt so confused, why should I be sad he just played with me Loren asked herself. Loren soon realized it was light out the window, the birds were chirping, just like every other day because even though Eddie was gone they were still happy. Loren wished she was a bird even when they are sad they chirp beautiful songs that could change your mood.

Loren jumped out of bed and picked out an outfit, she fixed her hair, then looked into a mirror.

"Today will be a good day," Loren said to herself.

Loren walked out the door and was surprised to find Melissa.

"Well, good morning sleepy head," Mel said with a lot of enthusiasm.

Loren knew Mel was only doing this because she knew she was upset and Mel didn't want to see her down.

"Well are we going to be late," Loren said and rushed out the door.

The car ride was silent, they got to school and as if nothing had happened everyone was normal, everybody were in their usual cliques. Loren kept repeating to herself in her mind "Today is going to be a good day." Loren was walking to her locker when she noticed a familiar face, it was Adalhia. Adalhia waved from across the hall.

"Who is that waving at you?" Mel asked. She couldn't help but stare at how she looked.

"Oh, thats Adalhia I met her yesterday."

"She looks kinda.."

"Mel don't be rude," Loren walked over to Adalhia.

"Hi, you never told me you were going to come to West Valley High."

"Oh, well I had no idea you would go here." Adalhia said.

"Well, Welcome this is Melissa, Melissa this is Adalhia."

"NIce to meet you," They both said at the same time.

"So what brings you here on the last semester?" Mel asked.

"I had to move and they allowed me to come, I had the grades to be accpted really late."

"Well, no one is as smart as Loren."

Loren gave Mel a slight push, "Mel!"

"What it's true Lo."

"Well anyways, would you like help on how to get around school?" Loren asked.

"That would be nice." Adalhia said.

"Okay well first is homeroom, come with me, then is english, looks like we have all the same classes just follow me around today," Loren said.

They all got to homeroom, kids were throwing paper, passing notes, then everything got silent.

"Listen up class today is the day we announce this class valedictorian ."

Everybody stayed quiet because they were excited to who it was going to be, though everyone knew it would be Loren.

"This person has shown excellent behavior, great example to many students, and has exceeded on their academics, I am happy to announce that this years senior class valedictorian is Loren Tate."

Everyone clapped, they knew that no one else would be perfect. Adrianna just stared at Loren, she couldn't believe why did they choose Loren.

"Whatevs," Adrianna said rolling her eyes, obviously jealousy.

Class finished and it was time for break,

"OMG Lo I knew you would be valedictorian!" Mel said.

"Congratulations," said Adalhia.

"Thanks I still can't believe it, I'm going to the restroom, all these news got me too excited I have to pee, be nice to Adalhia," Loren told Mel. Loren began to run through the hall and into the restroom.

"So what made you come to West Valley High?" Mel asked curiously.

"Oh just some personal stuff," Adalhia responded.

"Have you always had this style?" Mel asked.

"Yeah, I guess I like it."

"Thats good," Mel just couldn't figure out what was different about Adalhia she just stood their in silence until she saw Loren was walking towards them, before Loren reached them Mel couldn't help it, she knew what it was.

"I know you're not a girl," Mel whispered in Adalhia's ear.
