• it all started when my school closed down. i thought i would never see my friends again, and that i would have to stand alone for a while. or maybe at least no drama, or no real crushes. (at least that what i was hoping for.)
    when i walked to the yard of my new school, the first known face i saw was Melanie. She was my friend from my old school, and you have no idea how happy i was to see her. after though, i saw other faces from my grade to the next, that ive seen before. the first thing that came to mind is, "oh, no, please dont say anything about last year."
    then, one girl came up to us and said, "welcome to the school!" and ran away, but then i noticed her look at something and almost fall to the floor. following her glance, i saw this dark, tall guy almost as lost as i was. was he new too? i dont know, but i guess i will find out some time.
    almost lost, i walked to the line i thought i was suppose to be in, and finding out it was the kindergarden line, i followed the girl who said welcome this morning. i found out her name was Ariana, just like Arianna from my old school, who practicly came here.
    everyone was staring at melanie, sara, megan, and i, i could just imagine what their saying in their minds. maybe something like: who are they? how many new ones are there? or maybe just, they look weird.
    same thing with the dark, tall guy in the other grade, why do i keep looking at him anyway?

    Four Monthes Later

    "Go Jerileen, go!!" said melanie
    "You really think i have the gutts to talk to him? really. . ." i asked
    "Just do it!"
    "No!!!"
    then, she pushed me against him, hard. what could i do? i just stood there, looking right at him, and him in return.
    "What's your problem?" he said in a rude, almost evil way.
    "Sorry, i didnt-sorry," i studdered nervously.

    embarrassed, i walked away from the short argument. i looked at melanie, and she just gave me a smile. i guess the only reason she smiled was when she tortured someone in a way. she is still an awesome friend, i thought, but i was still mad at her.
    "Why did you do that?" i asked.
    "I told you to talk to him!" she exclaimed.
    "But doesnt mean that you embarrass me in front of him!!"
    "Whatever, you know you liked it."
    "I swear-" i warned, and almost hit her in the face.
