~Hester's POV~
Summer passed quick, we got ourselves familiarize with the environment around Montauk. Mom told me that I was enrolled in at Seaside Mamier Middle School. (Don't ask me why that's the first thing that came to my mind) I got my list of textbooks, I was surprised when I bought them. Because the level of the book was practically everything I learned in my 6th grade at school. Except that, there were a few new subjects, including English Literature, Science and English History. Which practically I know nothing about, maybe a little on English Literature?
Time flew by like a wave, disappearing in a swish. I was looking forward to school, but to be honest, I was super nervous. I mean, what if I don't fit in because I'm Chinese? What if someone bullies me(it's not as if it never happened before...)? What if the teachers hate me? What if I get bad grades and disappoint my stepparents?
Stepparents detected me having nervous energy rolling off me, so my stepmom placed her hand onto my shoulder giving comfort, more like sending a message saying, "Don't be, you'll do just fine."
So my stepparents and I stepped out of the car, I grabbed my backpack filled with new textbooks and my favorite Harry Potter book(*cough*PoA*cough*) (Any Potterheads out there?) and went into the school. I realized we're actually earlier than most students, so we found the general office and my stepdad went to the counter and said,
"Hello. I'm the new transfer student Hesther Wong's parent, that's her mother and her." the office worker looked up at me and glanced at my stepparents wearily and looked down and typed my name into the computer. Then a small smile formed on her lips.
"Ah, yes. There is a new transfer student from Hong Kong this year called Hesther Wong, please follow me to the Dean's office." Then instructed us to follow her to the dean's office. The office worker knocked and I heard a gruff voice,
"Come in."
That's it, that's the one things that can make me from relaxed to super nervous and jittery in a second. I took a deep breath and tried to straighten my hair from being messy, which never seems to work. I sighed and the office worker told the dean,
"This is the new transfer student and her parents." The dean nodded and said,
"Please find Mr. Brooklyn here, he would do a good job bringing around the school." Then gestured us to sit down. He got some files out of the way and smiled at us warmly.
"First of all, welcome to Seaside Mamier Middle School. I sincerely hope that you will have a good time learning and making friends here. You must note that bullying is strictly prohibited, so are eating and using electronic devices in lessons. I notice from your profile that your daughter has dyslexia and ADHD?" We nodded, he continued.
"You are added into the class 104. Here are your timetable and your locker number. And ah yes." He stood up and opened the door. A boy about 15 stood by the door, he had a lean build and wore a red hoodie and jeans, about 5/3 inches tall, my height. He had messy brown hair and startling blue eyes.
"Mr. Brooklyn, would you please guide Miss Wong here for this week? She's the new transfer." He nodded and gave a lopsided grin, my heart fluttered a little bit. Wait, what was happening to me?
The boy nodded and hugged goodbye to my parents, got my new pieces of information and walked with the boy. He took out his hand and made a handshaking gesture,
"Hey, my name is Kansan. Kansan Brooklyn." I shook his hand and said,
"My name is Hesther, Hesther Wong. I'm from Hong Kong and new to the US." He gave me warm smile and asked,
"May I see your timetable?" I nodded and gave my copy of it. His eyebrows raised ever so slightly, "Peculiar, you're in the same class with me. You have Dyslexia and ADHD too?"I blushed in embarrassment, that was not one thing I want to be reminded of. He saw my blush and smirked, "I guess you're like me and will you're definitely stuck with me."
I fumed a little, with a small blush on my face. God! I must've looked like a tomato and having smoke sprouting out my ears. He continued, "Anyways, homecoming's starting. I might be able to bring you to your locker if we're quick enough, what's your number?"
Finding my voice finally, I replied, "0414( my B-Day btw), you?" At this point, his smirk grew wider.
"So even your locker's next to mine huh? Looks like you are really not getting rid of me." I got even redder if that's possible. "Come on, we have to go to the hall soon, or we'll be late." While checking his watch.
Halfway to the hall, a girl and 2 boys came to him, one of them with crutches.
I just assumed that they were just his friends so I didn't bother to talk much, that was until Zale pulled me into the group and introduced, "Guys, this is Hesther Wong. New transfer from Hong Kong."
A girl about my age too, who had ice blue eyes, dark brown hair tied up as a neat bun. She wore slim jeans and white converse and black striped crop top sweatshirt that was long sleeved.
(That's what she wore? ﾟﾏﾻ)
The girl studied me with her ice blue eyes, finally smiled warmly and said,
"Welcome to Seaside Mamier Middle School, my name is Eira Belle. Nice to meet you!" I could feel that she was friendly, but she wouldn't take a single shit from those bullies, just like me.
The other teen with crutches who had shaggy brown hair and warm bright brown eyes simply and about 5/2 inches tall smiled at me, seeing his hands are unavailable. He greeted,
"Hey! I'm Yasen Garrick, Nice to meet you too." I smiled shyly,
Then finally, a boy who was the same height as Kansan who had jet black hair and sea green eyes? He gave me a handshaking gesture and and said,
"Hey! My name is Zale Anderson, nice too meet you too!" I shook his and and replied to all of them,
"My name's Hesther Wong, nice to meet you." That's when Zale stepped in,
"Ok, enough the sap we gotta get to the hall or else we'll be late alright? COMEON!" Then I followed them and ran with them to the hall, I have a feeling that we will stick together forever, no matter what.
Guys, I am so so so sorry for not updating for so long, but on the bright side, it's Christmas holidays! If there won't be any accidents updates will be more often and one more thing! HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!
