Chapter 1
I breath in and out as I look out the window.A new year and new school. I twist my necklace around my neck as i stare. Nervous as always, no matter how many times i do this.
My mom takes my hand in hers, “It will be okay honey. Why are you nervous?”
I look at her, “what if I dont make any friends? Im scared that if i make friends ill just have to leave them again..”
My mom hums.. “You’ll make friends I promise honey, this is the your last year..”
“Right..” I say opening the car door. My mom hands me my lunch box. “Have a good day at school okay? Make sure to tell mr everything when I pick you up.”
“Bye mom, I love you.. I see you after..” I say getting out and waving to her, then head over to the big double doors of cherry hill high.
Getting inside its a typical highschool, loads of kids in the halls cramped sense the halls are so narrow.
I ask a teacher where the office is and they pointe me in a direction. I see a sign that says main office and head in.
There’s a woman sitting at the desk. She looks up at me and smiles wide.
“Hi.. I’m new. I was told to come here for my sheduel and a map of the school?” I say feeling nervous. God why am I such a nervous wreck. Ive done this so many times…
She nods and starts looking something up on her computer.. “You are Miss Krista Kline right?”
I nod. “Thats me..”
She hums, clicks something and a paper comes out of a printer. “Here your shedule and on the back is a map of the school, just follow the numbers.” She says holding the paper out.
I take the paper in my hand, “Thank you.”
She nods, “If you need anything or get lost come back here and I’ll have someone show you the way..”
“Got it, thank you again..” I say as I head out the door.
I was able to pick the classes i wanted except for the mandetory ones like gym, english, history and etc. I picked French for languages, art and a programming class…
Though i didnt get to pick the order. I looked at my shedule. I had art first. Yes! Relieved, i looked at the number, it said room 104.
I looked around at the room numbers. I was in the 200 hallway. I went to right, where i lowered. I walked until i found the 100 and then waited to i came across 104.
I stood outside the door and breathed in and out again. Then knocked on the door. A woman let me in. I stepped in.
I walk up to the teachers desk. “Hi, I’m new.. It says this is my first class..” I say, once again playing with my necklace.
It’s a butterfly, it was my great grandma’s and now it’s mine. It means .
The woman nods. “Hello, I’m Mrs. Samtiago, I teach skulpture..” she says smiling at me and then looks around the room and then points.
I look at where she’s pointing and its to a girl sitting nearby. “Go sit next to Isabella. She’s very nice, I’m sure you’ll get along well.”
I nod and head over and sit down next to her.
I smile when i sit down. “Hi.. I’m Krista..”
She smiles back at me, “Hello, I’m Isabella..”
In put my stuff down on the table and one of my books fall out and I quickly put back in.
“OMG!” Isabella squeals,”You like Fourth Wing?” I nod intreaged that she knows it.
“I love Fourth Wing! Though I always hated Dain” She exclaims, making me giggle.
I’ve never met someone who has read the books I’ve read.
“Same I hate him!!! Him and Jack Barlowe!” I exclaim making me giggle even more.
“Dont get me started! How did he survive getting hit by a mountain?!” Isabella says loudly.
I like this girl..
“I think me and you are going to be great friends..”
I giggle. “Yes friends..”
The teacher startsbtalking and explaining our first project.
At the end of class, Isabella hands me a paper, I look at it.
“My number, I want us to be friends.” Isabella says in a sure tone.
I nod, and take the paper and put in your wallet.
leaving the class and the day goes on.
Its mostly boring and normal.
I wait outside for my mom to pick me up.
Isabella walks up. “Who you waiting for?” She asks.
“My mom. You?” I ask her.
“My brothers supposed to pick me up today..” she says sounding a little annoyed.
There’s a honk of a horn. I look up and theres a car. Isabella waves and walks towards it. I look at the driver and pause.
He has dark brown hair and I’m not close enough to see his eyecolor, his skin is olive. I shake my head. Nope nope.
I see my mom car and start heading towards it.
Putting my bags in the back, i get in the passenger side front door.
“How was school honey?” My mom asks as she keeps her eyes on the road.
“It was good, i made a friend..”
“Ooo.. what’s their name?” She asks.
“Her name is Isabella.. she seems nice.” I admit.
“Mmm..” my mom hums.
I turn on the radio, link my phone, and put my favorite song artist on.
Billie Eilish, I mainly love listening to Birds of a Feather.
OOooooo It's so good.

✨Home✨
.................
I flopped onto my bed.. Staring at the ceiling blankly. I looked around my room and it was so empty. I still hadn't decorated it yet to make it feel like my room.
I groan.
I hate moving so my much but that's what happens when your dad is in the army. Where he goes I go. Though this is my last year of moving, sense I am going to graduate this year.
My parents aggreed that once I graduated I could stay here if I so willed myself too, but that I could always go with them when they moved again.
So I had options.
I really just wanted to stay in one place long enough to have a life and some fun.
I take the paper Isabella gave me with her number on it and type it into my phone.
856...757...6633...(Not a real Number)
Me: Hey this is Krista..
I waited and a second later there was a text back.
Isabella: HEyyyy... I'm glad you decided to text me.. It was kinda weird of me to give you my number when you barely only just met me..
Me: Nah its good. I'm kinda happy I made a friend..
Isabella: *She sends me a funny video of a cat falling off a bed*
Me: LOL. I love cats!
Isabella: Same! I have like three..
Me: I wish I could have one, but my mom is allergic :(
Isabella: Want to see some photos of my cats?
Me: Yessss!!
She sends a photo:
Isabella: These are the kittens we saved from the side of the road; someone just left them in a cardboard box!
Me: I can't believe they would do that! These kittens are sooooo cuteee...
Isabella: Their names are Minion, Rwby, & Oreo!
Me: Sooo cuteeee.
Isabella: So did you like your first day of school?
Me: Yeah, It was fun!
Isabella: Good, so hey I was wondering if you'd want to come to my birthday party on thursday?
Thats two days away..
Me: Sure I'd love too..
Isabella: Yay cant wait! Here's my address 29************, its at five!
Me: Okay see you there!
I turned off my phone and laid down.
Thursday was going to be so much fun!!
I fell asleep on my bed like I always did after school.
School seemed to tire me out..
