Chapter 1
The New Girl

It was a typical day at Millard Fillmore Middle School, Jake Long and his two friends Trixe and Spud, were chilling in the halls. Jake was not in a very pleasant.

"Jakee it's been 3 weeks. It is time to move on player." Trixie said. "Yeah life is passing you by, like the express train." Spud said.

Jake responded, "I know you guys. But it is so hard to get over Rose. I can't believe she is gone. I support what she is doing, looking for her family and all. Like G said, sometimes you have to put the needs of others, before your own. But I still miss her."

"Me and Spud understand, but it is time you move on. Yeah Jakee, that girl is checking you out boy." Trixie said. Trixe pointed at the girl, she was an Asian brunette with black eyes. "Talk to her Jakee." Trixie said. "I don't know you guys." Jake said. "I guess Brad was right. You are a big chicken." Trixie said. "Prove him wrong man." Spud said. "What did that punk say about me, I'll show him." Jake said. Jake approached the girl.

Jake introduced himself to the girl. "Hello my name is Jake, I couldn't help notice you were looking in my direction." Jake said. "Oh" the girl said with a blush on her face. "My name is Arella, I just moved here from Maine." "Really let me show you around the place." Jake said.

After school, Jake and Arella were talking in front of the school, "Do you want to go out with me sometime." Arella said. "I am sorry, I can't, I am coming out of a serious relationship. I am not ready to date anyone." Jake said. "I understand." Arella said. Jake and Arella walked home together when a couple of Hobblins appeared.

Jake was thinking, how he was going to explain this to Arella, when she turned into a dragon. Arella was a dragon. Jake turned into dragon form, and the two of them fought off the Hobblins together. It didn't take for the Hobblins to run off.

"You're a dragon?" Jake said. "Yes I am you're a dragon also?" Arella said. "Yes, but not just any dragon, the American Dragon." Jake said. "I am impressed." Arella said with a smile. "I'll see you tomorrow." Jake said. Jake and Arella went their separate ways. Jake went home, excited that a fellow dragon is his classmate. "Finally a classmate that understands exactly what it is like to be a Dragon." Jake thought.
