"There are moments, when you're getting to know someone, when you realize something deep and buried in you is deep and buried in them, too. It feels like meeting a stranger you've known your whole life." ~ Leah Raeder, Unteachable

Emma's POV

Edited

My alarm started ringing as I groaned and struggled to wake up. I haven't slept all night because Skylar, my best friend couldn't stop talking about today.

Today, is the first day of junior year, summer break is over but I'm not complaining, cause I love school. I don't have many friends, just Skylar. More friends means more attention and more attention is something that I really don't want.

Skylar and I have been friends since middle school, she was the only one who wanted to actually talk to me, and not my sister, Alyson, who is the popular girl from our high school. She always goes to parties and skips classes.

She is a cheerleader and, she only stays with the popular kids.

I got out of bed and did my morning routine.

Come on, even our neighbors cat looks better than me... I thought as I sighed and tried to not ruin my mood right as the day started.

"Emma! If you're not coming down in 10 minutes I will leave without you!" I heard my sister's car and started to panic.

Come on, come on, she always does this, thinks she can tell everyone what to do and, I don't know, sometimes I don't even feel like I'm her sister...

I put on my black jeans, a T-shirt and over the T-shirt I put on a hoodie. I looked at my 5'4 figure in the mirror, my brown hair fell down over my shoulders, hiding my eyes. You could see the lack of sleep in my bright blue eyes.

I looked outside my window to see my sister preparing to leave. I closed the window and almost slipped as I did my bed fast so that she won't leave without me.

I took my backpack and my phone and ran down the stairs almost tripping. I took the money that my mom left for me on the counter and then put my shoes on. First day of school and I think I'm going to be late, great...

Adam's POV

Is every monday supposed to be so boring and tiring? I fucking hate mornings and I'm sure everyone can agree with me.

Sunday is just a better option for saying ' It's Monday tomorrow'. Why is school supposed to start so early? Aren't students supposed to be well rested and all that shit?

It's like school was especially made for those nerds that are used to waking up early and already having everything in their schedule checked like homework and all that stupid stuff. Me? I don't even have a schedule. I find schedules not being a necessity since I have a brain.

I looked in the mirror and brushed my hair with my hand. As I wanted to get out of my I tripped over a bardi car or whatever those are called.

"ANNA, WHY IS YOUR STUPID CAR IN MY ROOM!" I yelled as I pushed the small car with my foot, moving it out of my room.

I took my backpack and looked outside my window to see a girl with brown hair running down the street. Huh, girls are so weird sometimes. I rolled my eyes while laughing and closed my curtains.

Emma's POV

I looked down at my feet and noticed that my socks were a different color, one was black and the other one was white.

I don't have time for this. I thought as my sister started getting annoyed.

I started running and since I'm always forgetting everything I had to run and close the door of the house cause I forgot to close it.

"Come on, Emma! I don't have all day!" I heard my sister screaming as I put the keys in my backpack.

I ran to her car while my white sneakers got dirty from all the mud outside. I cringed and opened the door to my sister's car. I stopped for a second, with my hand on the handle having that weird feeling like someone was following me.

"Close the door already, the coldness is getting inside and I really don't feel like having to put on a hoodie or a jacket." She yelled as I just looked down and got inside the car.

"You don't have to yell." I mumbled while hugging myself, to catch some warmth cause it was a cold morning.

"Sorry but I'm too excited for this day to start!" She said while looking in a mirror and putting on some lipstick.

I looked at her and then at her outfit, that doesn't look like a school outfit... I don't think school is where she is heading towards. She had a top and a short skir on with a pair of high heels matching her outfit.

"You're excited about school? Well that's a first." I mumbled while rolling my eyes and putting my hands near the heater cause my hands were freezing.

"No, me and Melissa are going shopping, why don't you come with us?" She said while looking at her phone and typing someone.

That explains the outfit... I thought as I sighed and looked at her weirdly.

"You know how I feel about skipping school." I said while sighing.

I know where this conversation is going and I don't exactly like it...

She rolled her eyes and put her hand on my hand then looked into my eyes while smiling. Come on, I don't want to be mean but that smile is faker than her purse...

"Yeah, I know, but I thought that maybe you have changed." She wants to get me mad but if she thinks that she has any effect on me, she's well, wrong.

"Alyson, have you seen my room? It looks almost exactly the same as it did 17 years ago, I never change."

It's true, the only part that has changed is that I don't exactly have my room full with toys and I recently painted it so yeah, still not that different...I still have one doll hidden in a box in my closet but Alyson doesn't need to know that...

"Why? At least try to make new friends because you can't keep living in the past!" She snapped at me.

Why does someone need more than a few friends? More friends means more attention, more people to talk to, too much time to waste...that's why I only have Skyler, she is the best and she gets me. She doesn't want to take a selfie every 5 minutes or talk about every magazine that she has read. She doesn't exactly read magazines, more like comic books, which I love too.

"I have a friend, Skylar, and you know why I can barely open up to her, so why bring up this conversation in the first place?" I whispered while closing my eyes for a few seconds.

She didn't say anything, well, I didn't exactly expected her to say something, it's complicated, and she doesn't get it.

The car stopped and I got out without letting her continue or think too much about what I said and headed inside the school.

"EMMA!" I heard someone yell as a smile plastered on face.

I turned around and saw Skylar running towards me. She hugged me tight. Too tight. I wasn't annoyed anymore, Skylar has that effect on everyone, you can't be sad after one of her hugs. I started laughing but soon air started leaving my lungs.l

"S-Skylar I can't b-breath..." I whispered.

"Oh, sorry, you know that sometimes I get too..."

"Excited?" I said while laughing.

We started walking towards the school and it looks exactly the same as it did before summer, I don't exactly think that our school will ever change something. Once a kid punched a wall and instead of fixing it our principle put a picture with himself over it.

"Yeah." She mumbled embarrassed.

I started laughing and soon she started laughing with me, getting some weird looks from the other students.

Oh come on, it's not like we're some aliens, we're just two girls laughing. The doors from our high school are really heavy, like really, really, heavy. If our high school would've had a kindergarten then some kids will probably get trapped outside waiting for someone to open the door since is heavier than them. Some may think I'm exaggerating, but I'm really not.

We got into the school and everyone was whispering and running on the hallways.

Well, first day of school and the drama already started.

"What's going on?" I whispered to Skylar. I looked around and saw everyone excited and happy like a miracle has happened.

"Let me check." She said and then went to Amalia, one of the popular girls. Yes, we have groups in our high school, too many groups if you ask me. There are the "nerds", really, who puts these names? I call them the smart and awesome kids but yeah, I'm the only one that does that. There are the popular kids, where my sister is of course, they barely come to school, most of the time they are hanging out at the beach or at the mall, everywhere but not at school.

"Ok, so, a new student is coming today." Skylar started screaming and jumping up and down.

New students aren't exactly what people are excited about most of the time so...why is this 'new student' so... special?
