Alex's Pov

I can't believe we're moving. My life was just fine in New York until now. Mom got a transfer to New Jersey so… I guess I'm stuck here now. I loved New York so much; I had finally just made a few friends.

"Mom" I groaned.

"Don't worry Sweetie, New Jersey isn't bad or anything, you will like it, trust me"

"I guess…" I said

"Come on now, I'm sure you will make great friends and you know you might even find a cute boy" My mom said in a comfort tone.

Hmm… yeah, I might even find a guy.

We had finally got to the house. It was a nice size, just perfect for me and my mom.

My mom looked at me, "So Alex, you can go and settled in, okay?"

I sighed "Okay…"

All of our stuff came, and I started to unpack. Our house wasn't that bad, it was actually pretty cozy. Our old house was pretty big but this was just perfect.

"Mom" I said

"Yes"

"Can we order some pizza please?"

"Hmm… okay I guess so"

"Thanks mommy"

We had gotten our pizza, and we sat down and started to eat.

"So Alex, are you excited for school this week?" Mom said

"I don't know, I guess I'll see how it is, I just hope there are some pretty nice people here, I don't want anything to happen this time like it did in New York"

"Don't worry honey, everything will be alright"

After dinner I unpacked a bit more and decided to go to bed. I layed down and thought about New York. It was hard for me, but then I got so used to everything. Having people bullying me was so hard. I just hoped that it didn't happen here.

It was the first day of school and I got up then got ready.

"Hey mommy" I said to my mom who was making pancakes.

"Good morning so you excited?"

I looked at her and said "Hmm… I guess I am"

After I ate breakfast, I said bye to my mom and waited for the bus to come. I looked at my clothes, I was wearing a dress but I guess people would say it was geeky, I didn't like to wear what everybody else was wearing, and my mom had always told me to never try to be like somebody and always wear what I feel comfortable in. Yup, I felt comfortable in the weirdest clothing.

Just then I saw the bus come. I got in and the driver said to me "Hey there you must be Alex, right?"

"Yup, nice to meet you" I shook his hands

"Find any seat you'd like, everybody here is really nice"

I smiled at him and said thanks, and went to find a seat.

I saw this girl sitting there, and nobody was sitting beside her, I said to her "Hi, is this seat taken?"

She looked at me "Oh, no, of course not, come sit"

"Thanks so much"

"Oh, no need to thank me." The girl looked at me again and said "So are you new here? I have never seen you before."

"Yeah um… I'm new, I just moved from New York with my mom"

"Oh that's awesome; I have always wanted to go to New York"

I smiled and said "Yeah it's pretty awesome"

She smiled and then said "Oh, I forgot, my names Mitchie"

I laughed "I'm Alexandra but call me Alex."
