The first actual day. It’s always a bit weird. Especially when it’s the first day of freshman year and you’ve come to a new private school where you barely know anyone.

Lisa walked through the hallway in search of her locker, making an attempt not to push past people. She couldn’t seem to find anyone from the cross country team that she had met during preseason practices.

Argh this is all so confusing!! she thinks to herself, frustrated beyond belief. Not only do I feel completely alone, this place is impossible to get around!

Finally locating her locker, she stumbles towards it and someone pushes her into the wall, knocking the few books in her arms to the ground. She bends down to pick them up and finds another hand already there. Looking up, she sees a boy with sideswept brown hair, an adorable smile, and absolutely stunning blue eyes.

“Hey, I’m Arden.” he says politely.

“L-L-Lisa…” she stutters, blushing and displaying a tiny, shy smile.
