hloe's POV

When I walked inside she saw that a lot of kids were already here. After what felt like hours to find my locker, taking a look at my schedule to see I had first period calculous with Mrs. Keller. I got what I needed and made my way to try and find room A4.

When I got to class, I sat at one of the empty desks in the middle of the room. There were a group of boys sitting in the back, throwing paper airplanes. A moment later, a woman with blonde hair, white blouse, blue jeans and a pair of sketcher shoes; walked into the classroom. "Hey boys, those airplanes must stay at the airport." The class laughed and the atmosphere calmed. She introduced herself "Good morning everyone, I'm your teacher Mrs. Keller. Todays lesson you will learn about what a limit is and what a derivative is." I got out my notebook and calculous book. I thinks I did a pretty good job understanding the lesson and showing a lot of participation. The kids in the back of the room kept cracking jokes and I couldn't help but laugh but Mrs. Keller told them to stop. I could tell she was getting frustrated.

The class went by and I made my way to second period which was history with Mr. Bennett. When I got to the room, the teacher was already there. He was tall with brown hair, facial hair, very good looking, he looked as if he was 29 or so. I made my way to one of the empty desks near the window and sat behind a very tall girl with blonde hair. The girl turned around and introduced herself. "Hi, you must be new here, I'm Aubrey." She held out her hand for me to shake "Uh yeah, I'm Chloe, nice to meet you." I shook her hand.

"So, Chloe, where did you move here from?"

"Louisiana."

"Oh cool, how is it over there?"

"Louisiana is a great place to live if you like to eat. Also the weather is mild for most of the year. Spring and summer can be very hot with the humidity up 100% but I like it. Depending which part of Louisiana you're in, have hurricanes, like New Orleans which is 2 hours from us but we aren't affected. Some parts of Baton Rouge can be dangerous with street violence. Luckily, I haven't experienced this. If you don't go looking for trouble it doesn't come looking for you, but overall, it's a nice place to relax, have fun, and enjoy life."

"Wow, I feel like I got a whole history lesson right now from just hearing you talk about Louisiana. I don't even need to be here, I got my lesson for the day." She gets up and pretends to start leaving. I laughed.

"I lived there for so long, I know a lot about it." I said smiling.

"How do you feel about moving here?"

"Its okay so far, as time goes on ill be able to decide if I really like it or not."

Mr. Bennett started talking. He introduced himself and told us what this year was going to consist of learning wise. I liked him, he was nice and liked to make jokes. As class went on we didn't really learn anything, he just explained what the class was going to be liked and assigned us books. Aubrey and I got more into talking, I was happy I met someone nice and cool on my first day it just goes to show about what my mother said that I had nothing to worry about. After class Aubrey and I started walking to my next class because she coincidentally her class was right next to me third period. She took a look at the rest of my schedule.

"Oh Awesome! We have fourth period together too! When the bell rings come out and if I'm not out the door already wait a little for me, we'll walk together." Aubrey said. "Okay, sounds good." I walked into my computer graphics class and sat down at one of the empty iMac's. there was just a lineup of Mac computers, the newest versions, they were nice. This class is going to be cool, I was really excited when choosing this elective. I was a little early so there were only a couple kids there. As time went on everyone was starting to pile in and I just watched as people entered. Then these two came in, they both had brown hair, one was a guy the other a girl and they were laughing together. They looked confident like they owned the place, not in a bad way, they just looked like people respected them and thought they were cool. As they walked pass me I was looking at them then the girl glanced at me. We kept eye contact as she kept walking to the rows of computers behind me, I smiled at her and it took her a little bit, but she smiled back. I broke the eye contact and turned around seeing as everyone is here now Mrs. Murphy would start her lesson. I enjoyed the rest of the class just learning the basics on how to operate the computer and what we would be doing in this class. The bell rang and I collected my things to make my way next door to meet Aubrey and walk to foods together.

Aubrey was out on time and we started walking together. "How was third?" she asked. "It was good; I am so excited about that class." "Yeah, I took it last year its awesome and Mrs. Murphy is so nice and really chill."

As we got to foods we sat down at the table in the far left. We sat with this blonde girl, a brunette girl and two other brunette boys. There was only 6 to a table. They introduced themselves as Bumper, Amy, Benji and Stacie. They were all so nice and welcoming. I found out that Bumper was dating Amy, they were an unusual couple, cute, but unusual. I got talking to Benji a lot. He was so nice and sweet, he almost seemed a little introverted but I didn't mind.

The teacher started to talk about the class but before she said anything Amy said "Watch out ginger, she's kind of a bitch." And that, she was. She was very strict and said the tables we sat at are permanent as well as the people sitting at the table are your permeant cooking groups, unless you are misbehaving. I didn't mind that. I liked these people. She spent the rest of the class yelling (literally yelling, she had a very loud voice) the rules of the cooking stations and if you are late three time even just by a second she will write you up. I knew this year with her was going to be tough and it was unfortunate because I finally found a great group of people I just wanted to talk too and be goofy without the thought of my teacher smacking me with a spatula.

As class ended we all started walking down the hall talking, seeing if any of us had classes together, turns out Stacie is in my next class, English. As we were walking further down the hall I saw those two from my computer graphics class the duo of the boy and girl. They were together again I assumed they must be dating or something. When they got close to us Bumper said "Sup, Mitchell, Swanson." He nodded at them. They said responded with "What's up Bumper." And then the one of them started talking to Benji and Benji bid us a farewell and started walking with them. We kept moving down the hallway and I spoke up "Who are those two?" "You know them?" Bumper responded. "Not really, they are just in my computer graphics class." "Oh, well that's Jesse Swanson and Beca Mitchell. They're cousins, very close. That answers my question about them dating. "Oh okay." I said.

We split up and I kept walking with Stacie to English and she asked me about where I use to live just like Aubrey did, I basically told her the same thing. We got to class which was so far in what seemed to be like an excluded part of campus, down this random hallway with four classrooms that way. Our teacher was very nice. He had dark skin and nice eyes looked to be in about his 30's. I liked English so I was excited about this class. After it ended I made my way with Stacie down the the 11/12 cafeteria where I had lunch. The cafeterias were split, 9th and 10th grade ate together in the 9/10 cafeteria while the 11th and 12th grade ate together in the 11/12 cafeteria. I'm also lucky I had lunch with her cause I can tell you right now I knew nobody else. We sat at the round table near the window and just talked about our day so far and got to know more about each other.

After lunch we split and I went to my last class of the day, Anatomy & Physiology. As I found the class I went in and the teacher pointed the first table where there was a seating chart. I had to find my name and sit at that table. Their were black tables, three across and five back, only two could fit at a table. I ended up sitting the second row of tables furthest back, in the left seat near the door. As I went back there to sit down I noticed my table mate was already sitting in her seat, the right seat close to the window, I also noticed it was the girl from computer graphics class or as bumper said Beca Mitchell. I sat down next to her and gave her a quick smile before returning my attention to the front, I don't know what it was about this girl but I felt intimidated, like she was too cool for me and I was in her space. I tried to pay attention to what the teacher was saying but I could feel her staring at me. I tried to brush it off but I eventually couldn't. I quickly turned to look at her but she looked away. Our teacher handed out papers that seemed to be a syllabus of what we will be learning in here just like all the other teachers did today. We as well as our parents, had to sign the bottom of the paper saying we complied will all her rules. As I got my purple pen out to sign my name, the girl next to me spoke up.

"You know; she doesn't like when you use colored ink."

"You know her?" I said incredulously.

"I had her last year for Environmental science, she teaches both. She's not mean, I know she seems like it, she's actually really nice, she just doesn't like colored pens."

"Thanks for the heads up."

"Yeah, no problem, wouldn't want her to be harsh to the new girl."

"You're a gem." I said jokingly. She laughed.

"I'm Beca by the way."

"Chloe."

"Nice to meet you Chloe."

"Yeah you too." I smiled and she returned it.

Time went on and I was really intrigued by this class. I like science and learning about the body is absolutely fascinating to me. I watch a lot of Grey's Anatomy which is sort of what brought me to choose what kind of science I wanted to take. Plus, Beca was right, this teacher is nice and good at what she does, I'm learning well from her, things don't always come to me so easy but this subject was. As the bell rang for dismissal it was ten minutes till three so I knew my mom was probably either waiting for me outside or about to be here. When everyone was walking out I noticed Beca left her jacket on the chair. I picked it up and went to catch her before she went out the door. "Hey." I said, "You almost forgot your jacket on the chair." She smiled at me. "Thanks, You're a gem." She said, throwing my own words back at me. I laughed, I feel better about her, not intimidated anymore, I feel calm, I feel good around her. I think I might come to like it here a whole lot.
