*first pov*

It was my first day in a new state,middle school, town etc. my father was recently (half a year ago) promoted a colonel and stationed at camp pendleton as a base commander so me and my family had to move yet again, nothing exactly new but i still cant get used to it, i've been everywhere but that just makes it harder to make friends sure i had one or two i talk to but i haven't seen them in a while

Anyways, here i am sitting alone eating my lunch while studying politics, history and economics all at the same time while taking notes, i lean towards right sided ideals but i still had a few left leaning views

But then i see someone sit down out of the corner of my eye so i look up and see a brunette who i'm ninety nine percent sure iv'e seen in an commercial but who knows

???: hey, your the new face right?"

Me: uhm...yeah? this is my first day here"

???: figures, you have a very 'fish out of the water' look to yourself"

Me: i-im sorry, who are you?"

The girl then pauses and looks at me embarrassed before she sighs

???: i'm sorry, i'm Jenna, Jenna Ortega"

She then extends her hand towards you so you shake it

Me: y/n l/n...nice to meet you, i think?"

Jenna: yeah i guess i could've asked to sit down"

me: don't worry about it"

Jenna takes a bite of her food as i just look back down to my books and start reading again, and Jenna and i sit together in silence until i see her looking around bored before looking at my books

Jenna: whatcha reading?"

Me: just books about politics and all that not so fun stuff"

Jenna: why?"

I stop for a second before looking up at her, I stuttered a few times before going silent, honestly i never really thought about it

Me: im not sure...i guess iv'e always found politics interesting"

Jenna: so its a hobby?"

Me: i guess"

Jenna: weird hobby"

I only shrug at her and close the books so i could focus on eating for once

Jenna: hey, i have an idea! become a politician"

I scoff and laugh as i shake my head

Me: im not built for office"

Jenna: you'll fit in with the rest"

Me: true"

The conversation goes silent but the entire thing got me thinking, my grand parents were mayors and governors, my dad's side being military officials...it helps that my mom is the current governor (another reason my dad was selected for the Pendelton base commanders post)

maybe it wasn't such a bad idea after all

*after final period*

the last bell rings finally telling everyone to go home so I get out of my chair and walk out, as i walk out to the front Jenna pops up by my side 

Jenna: so which car is yours?"

Me: you know I've only known you for four hours now right?"

Jenna: and?"
