As Serine walked, she noticed that there was a mob of kids about a block away from her house, all by the street. Using common sense, which she didn't have much of, as many people like to tell her, Serine figured this was her bus stop. She adjusted the strap on her shoulder and walked up to the group.

Serine noticed that countless pairs of eyes were on her at the moment, and she did not like that one bit. She just kept her eyes to the ground and kept walking. She was afraid that the stares would start to burn through her back.

Once she arrived at the bus stop after what seemed like hours, but was probably only five minutes, tops, Serine looked around herself. She saw groups of friends, some loners, and had no idea what to do. Should she talk to someone? Should she just stand in the back, and wait it out? No. Life is too short to not do something as easy as to talk to a person who is by themselves.

She saw a girl with shoulder length brown hair that was straightened, and bangs that went over her eyes. She was tall and skinny. She had big blue eyes, and braces. She was wearing black skinny jeans, a purple t-shirt, and skater shoes. She had birthmarks scattered over her arms and her neck. She had a red purse and a college algebra book in her arms.

The girl was listening to an older blue iPod nano. She was constantly picking it up and moving her finger to change the songs.

Serine walked up the girl.

"Um, hello, I'm Serine. Today's my first day. Is this the bus stop for Robert E. Lee High?" She asked.

"Yea it is. I'm Kaylene. Where are you from?" She asked quietly with a shy smile on her face.

"I'm from PA," Serine answered.

Kaylene gave a look of interest. They conversed for about five minutes until the bus drove up.

Kaylene gave an uncertain look, and then gestured to a seat across from where she sat next to a blonde girl who had her hair in a ponytail, and it curled. This would have looked very girly, but this girl had a rock feel to her. Nothing she was wearing made her come to this conclusion. She was wearing a maroon t-shirt and plain jeans. She was even wearing basketball shoes!

Serine sat across from Kaylene, in the set appointed to her by the girl. She saw the two girls chatting quietly, while taking her iPod out of her big elephant bag. It was black, with a bluish-grayish elephant on the front. The inside was blue, with darker blue colored flowers.

She put on her music. Rain by Breaking Benjamin came on. It was one of her favorite bands ever, so her mood was uplifted, and she got a rather optimistic mood. She looked to her left to the person she was sharing a seat with. It was a blonde girl. She was on her phone talking to someone. Serine caught a few words.

"I still don't get why you couldn't pick me up." There was a silence as the person on the other line answered her. "Oh, so Elena can't pick me up too?" another silence. "Matt, please. I'm on a bus! Don't you complain about being awkward! I'm surrounded by people I don't know, and I thought I knew everyone!" She pouted while listening to the other person, apparently this Matt person. "Yeah, yeah I know…I love you too…see you." She hung up the phone after making kissing noises into the speaker.

I quickly went back to my music. I realized I hadn't been paying attention, and a cheesy song had come on. It was if you think I'm sexy by Rod Stewart…Probably from her mother or father. She didn't mind the song, but didn't expect it to hear the catchy seventy's song. She changed it and decided on 'Haven't met you yet' by Michael Buble. It was a personal favorite.

Serine risked another look at the girl. She had bottle blonde hair that reached her shoulder blades, blue eyes, and a very disgusted look on her face. She was looking directly at Serine with a sneer on her face. Serine quickly looked down at her iPod.

Oh wow…if looks could kill, I think she would have just strangled me to a slow death…how could she hate me already? Oh wow, great way to start my day. And I thought the music had me in a good mood! Serine thought to herself.

She decided to make the most of this 'opportunity'. She looked up again to see the girl still looking at her, this time she was glaring though.

"Um, hi?" Serine said, making it sound more like a question than a friendly gesture. She cleared her throat and tried again. "I'm serine, today's my first day."

"Oh, really? You look familiar." The girl deadpanned. Just as serine was about to go on with the one-sided conversation, the bus stopped again. Two boys came on the bus, followed by a girl. One of the boys was a brunette with brown eyes and a lanky build. The other was a blonde with blue eyes and a jock build.

Serine noticed that the girl next to her automatically smiled and waved at the blonde. He smiled back and sat in front of us. The brunette sat next to him. Serine then saw the girl behind them. She was tanned, and had long brown hair. She had big brown eyes, and her head to body proportion was sort of off, she noticed. It wasn't too bad, but her head was just a little too small, she mused silently. She then also mentally slapped herself, and then thought of all of the people who would be mentally criticizing her today…maybe even verbally. The girl sat in front of Kaylene, who serine saw was practically drooling. She didn't see over who because the girls purse had caught her attention.

The purse was rather plain, but what caught Serine's eye was the elephant pin on it. Serine had always had an obsessive elephant obsession. Her room was full of them, and most of her clothes had them on it, this shirt was part of the third of her clothes that were elephantless. She had to comment on it. She reached over to tap the girls shoulder to tell her how much she loved it, when the blonde girl next to her decided she wanted to sit next to her boyfriend. So this was Matt. Of course, serine couldn't have been politely asked…no, instead, she got 'accidentally' pushed.

"Oh, I'm soooo sorry!" the girl said with mock horror on her face. "Maybe you should just sit her Matt; she doesn't get how much room I need." She stated.

Matt gave me a shocked look and reached down to help Serine get up, but Kaylene and the brunette girl were already helping her up. "Caroline, maybe next time you should warn people when you need to 'stretch'" the girl said.

"I'm so sorry, I'm just not used to this Elena…hey I thought you were driving my boyfriend today," Caroline stated, with extra emphasis on 'my'.

The girl whose name was apparently Elena said "Oh, my car broke down, so instead of him walking the whole way, I told him to just jump on my bus." There was obvious tension.

The girl next to me (Caroline?) said "Oh well that's too bad. Did you get Stefan to look at it or is Damon gonna fix it? Or will you use Matt? Or will another man magically jump to the rescue? We all know how that happens all of the time." Gosh, jealousy much????

They just sat there glaring at each other, and finally Serine couldn't stand it. "I love your elephant pin," She said. Oh wow, she sounded so stupid.

Elena looked up at her in surprise, but smiled a very sweet and friendly smile. "Thank you, my parents got it for me when I was little,"

"Well, I love elephants, and it caught my eye, it's so cute!" She gushed

Elena laughed "I love elephants too, but nothing obsessive. I love your purse. It is really cute." They both chuckled at the elephant conversation they were having. "Do I know you?"

"Oh, no; Today's my first day."

"Really? What grade are you in?"

"I'm a senior, how about you?"

Serine noticed Kaylene watching this conversation. Serine had a good feeling again. She shouldn't let some stupid girl ruin her day in the first few minutes.

"Me too! Can I see your schedule?" Elena said excited. Serine was excited too, that she had made two friends before homeroom. That's when she realized she didn't trade schedules with Kaylene.

Her attention was turned back to Elena when she said "Oh! We have four classes together, and lunch!" Elena read on and said "And our lockers are practically next to each other!"

Just as Serine was about to ask what classes they had together, the bus pulled up the high school.

"Come on! I'll show you the way to your locker, and help you from there" Elena offered.

Kaylene smiled and said "See ya, maybe in school, maybe tomorrow morning" she shrugged with a smile to say she didn't mind that serine wasn't walking with her, and walked off with the rocker with the girly curl.

Elena looked behind her to see if Serine was coming.

"Coming!!" she yelled forward and jogged a little to catch up.

School was waiting, so Serine swallowed the lump in her throat and moved on.
