~October 25th (Sunday)~

"tess, we're here" my mom said shaking me awake after the long plane ride here, me and my parents just moved to Los Angeles from New Jersey, i was excited to move until the day came, i already miss my friends but my parents got better jobs so i'll have to make it work.

my parents found a nice two-story house in Encino, i heard all the rich kids live there but i didn't mind, i'm pretty sure we have a pool in our backyard but it's no fun without siblings, i'm an only child so some people back in Jersey thought i was spoiled.

we got to our house and i immediately ran to my room upstairs "this is so nice!" i yelled from upstairs causing my parents to laugh

"the moving trucks should be here hopefully next week" my mom said "and we already have you enrolled in school" my dad said

"what school?" i asked still admiring the house "West Valley High" my mom said looking at her phone "okay, when do i start?" i asked "tomorrow" my dad said causing me to panic a little "what? we just got here, can i skip this week?" i asked

"nope, you're going, make some friends, meet some boys" my mom said causing my dad to scoff at the last part which made me laugh

"dad, i'm 16, i'm pretty sure i'm old enough to have a boyfriend" i said causing my mom to agree "speaking of age, can i start driving?" i asked "no" they both said

"why not?" i asked "cause we just got here" my dad said but i didn't let that stop me, i begged my parents until they gave in

"fine, next week you can start driving" my mom said causing me to squeal "i love you" i said hugging her.

~October 26th (Monday)~

"bye tess, have a good day at school" my dad said dropping me off "i'll try, have a good day at work" i said causing him to chuckle, i shut the door and my dad drove off

i found the school office and asked for my schedule, once i got it i headed to my first class which is home room

i got there pretty quickly and seen everyone's eyes on me as soon as i walked in "oh there you are, tessa smith?" my teacher asked "yeah, that's me" i answered politely

"you can have a seat right there next to sam, sam could you raise your hand please?" the teacher said causing a brunette girl to raise her hand, she looked nice so i smiled at her and made my way to the desk.

"hey, i'm samantha but people usually call me sam" she said holding her hand out "i'm tessa but most people back in Jersey called me tess or t" i said shaking her hand

"you're from Jersey?" she asked "yeah, just moved here yesterday, why are you from there too?" i asked "no but my dad was" she said, i just nodded

"so, have you made any new friends yet? i mean i know the day just started but" sam asked "no, you're the only person i talked to today" i said causing her to smile

"what class do you have after this one?" sam asked "algebra" i answered "i can walk you there if you want" sam said "if that's okay with you? i don't wanna get lost on my first day" i said "of course, my class happens to be right next to yours" smiled, we both stopped our conversation and payed attention to the teacher.

—

the bell just rang and samantha's waiting for me outside "thanks for waiting" i said "anytime, now let's get to class" she said linking our arms and walking me to class

once we got to my class i thanked sam and walked in my algebra class "okay class, today we have a new student, tessa smith" the teacher kindly said

"you can sit on the empty table back there if you'd like" he said, i nodded my head and made my way to the table in the back

"hey, i'm miguel and i'm new here too" the boy on the side of me said "hey miguel, i'm tessa" i said smiling "nice name" he said "thanks" i said

"do you wanna sit with me at lunch? i mean since we're both new i figured you'd wanna sit with me" miguel asked nervously "i'd love to" i said laughing "okay, cool, ya" he said before paying attention to the teacher.

~Lunch time~

the bell just rang for lunch which caused me and miguel to pack our things and head to the cafeteria, we got our food and made our way by the tables

"jeez it's packed in here" i said causing miguel to laugh "are you ready?" he asked, i just nod, miguel walked ahead and i followed

he stopped at this table with two boys on it, one of the boys looks like he talks too much and the other boy looks shy

"is it okay if we sit here?" miguel asked "ouu, sorry tables really blowing up right now, i can put you on the waitlist but it's probably next semester at the earliest" one of the boys said which made me smile cause he was obviously joking but miguel didn't understand

"okay" he said then started walking away "i'm kidding, sit" the boy said, miguel pulled out chairs for the both of us

"thanks" i said sitting down "i'm tessa and this is miguel" i said introducing me and miguel "demetri, this is eli" demetri said "he's a man of few words" demetri added, i just looked at his shy friend and smiled.

"this is the first time we've ever got a pretty girl to sit at the same table as us eli" demetri said causing eli to chuckle which was adorable

"how'd you two become friends?" eli softly asked, making me smile "we have algebra together and he asked me if i wanted to sit with him at lunch" i said looking at miguel who was trying to put his straw in his chocolate milk

it was quiet for a moment until these girls walked past us, i noticed one of them was sam

"dude don't torture yourself, those are the rich girls" demetri said to miguel "did you ever talk to them or?" miguel asked demetri

"oh yeah, all the time, we hangout after school, make out, give each other hand jobs, ah eli here is the homecoming king, gets laid more than anyone isn't that right eli?" demetri said causing miguel to roll his eyes, me to slightly laugh and eli to smile

"talk to them? you do realize what table you're sitting at right? you've pretty much signed away all hopes of losing your virginity before college" demetri said causing me to laugh again

"shit, yasmines looking at us, probably just making fun of me" eli said "i don't think she's making fun of you eli" i said reassuring him "yeah, i mean just because they're hot doesn't mean they're mean" miguel said causing me to playfully roll my eyes

we could hear them laughing and looking at eli so i grabbed eli's hand "i like your sweater" i said causing him to look up "really?" he asked "yeah, it's cute" i said smiling "no it's not" demetri said causing me to glare at him.
