Chapter 4 - Attractive

Millie's POV

I wake up, it's the first day of school. I'm a bit nervous, but I'm glad I already have friends. Finn is already awake and in the kitchen making breakfast. He's sitting on his phone whilst eating. Before getting up, I check my phone.

1 notification: tinder

Boy: good luck on your first day of school :)

Girl: thanks :)

I get up and go to the bathroom to brush my teeth. After I brush my teeth, I go out to the kitchen and make some toast.

"Morning, Millie." Finn says in his morning voice.

"Morning." I say rubbing my eyes.

"How did you sleep?" Finn asks.

"Ok. I had another nightmare, but other than that it was fine. I have nightmares about the same thing quite frequently, so its usual for me to not sleep super well..." I reply.

"I'm sorry about that. Are you excited for the first day of school?" He asks.

"Excited is an over statement. I'm a bit nervous. Especially about Iris and Romeo. How Lizzy said that being your room mate may get me bullied more, that kinda worries me." I say. "At least I have a group of friends to be with, so I'm not alone."

"Makes sense. And yeah, I'm glad you have friends too. Being the newbie at Alpine can sometimes be a bit awkward. Everyone is already in their friend groups and you're just alone, but now you have a group of friends already!" He says, smiling.

"Yeah." I say taking a bite of toast. He exits the room and I pull out my phone.

Boy: anything interesting happen at dinner last night?

Girl: no not really

Boy: oh ok

Girl: i have to get ready for school so i gtg bye :)

Boy: bye

I finish eating my toast and go back into the room to get some clothes. I put on the dusty pink shirt and black skirt that Sadie bought me at the mall, then straighten my hair and put on some mascara and lipstick.

"Millie, what's your first class?" Lizzy asks me.

"Um... Let me check." I say, pulling out my schedule and looking at it. "Spanish."

"Me too!" She says. "Noah has that class too!"

"Oh good. I will have some friends. I was worried that I was going to know nobody." I say.

"Well, you have us." She says.

"So how long is each class period?" I ask.

"An hour and a half." She continues.

"Ok." I say as we walk into the class. I feel people staring at me left and right. A feeling of relief brushes over me right as I see Noah smiling at me.

"Hey, Mills!" He says. "Is it ok if I call you Mills? I like that name."

"Yeah sure." I say.

Iris enters the room and immediately walks over to me.

"Hey, Millie! How is rooming with Finn?" She asks me, tauntingly.

"Um, fine. He's...nice?" I say, wanting the conversation to be over.

"Leave her alone, Iris. She doesn't want to talk to you." Lizzy says, defending me.

"Yeah, go." Noah continues.
