After math class everyone barges out the door to get to their destination. I stay a little behind going slowly. Gerard and Frank head to the door while talking to Oli,
“See ya around Christa, it was great meeting you” Oli calls, and they all wave goodbye.

“Great meeting you too” I look at my schedule and my next class is Social Studies; I stare down at a paper when I feel a tap on my shoulder, I turn around and Ray is standing there with a smile.

“I’m in all your classes; I can show you the way if you want?”

“Oh…Umm…Sure” I mentally slap myself at my stupid response “I need to go to my locker and get my books real quick though”

“Okay let’s go” He seems to be always smiling, I give a smile back and we walk out into the crowded hallway.

“So what made you come to a new school?” Ray asks while dodging stupid teens walking the opposite direction.

“Well I’m not sure. Just one day my parents decided to move. I guessed they couldn’t stand living there after what happened”

Ray gives me a confused look and I realize what I just said.

“After what happened?” He asks. I stay silent for a moment, Should I tell him? I think I can trust him but I just met him. He seems really nice. If I do tell him it’s not like he’ll be the first to walk out on me. We arrive at my locker and I lean my back against it and sigh.

“Umm, A couple months ago my big sister died in a car crash” Fuck, I can feel myself getting teary eyed. Don’t fucking cry in front of him, He’s going to think you’re a loser. “Since then my parents haven’t really been the same” I quickly wipe away a tear and turn to open my locker so he doesn’t see me. I slowly turn back around and Ray is still standing there, he has a sympathetic look in his eyes.

“I know it’s not the same thing as you, but my Aunt also died a couple months ago and I was devastated, I mean it’s not the same as your sister but my father wouldn’t stop crying for a couple days and it made my mom pretty upset. I can somewhat understand what you’re feeling”

He looked at the ground and my first reaction was Fuck, I made him upset. I just met him and he is upset because of me. This is why I don’t make friends easily.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you upset”

He looked up quickly at my reaction and gave a slight smile.

“Christa I’m fine, You didn’t do anything”

I smiled back at him and he gave a big grin.

“Okay let’s get to class”

I nodded and followed him to Social Studies; walking in no one was in there. Not even the teacher, We find an empty table in the back and sit down, not a moment later I hear a voice from the door.

“Hey, what’s up Fro Fro?”

Ray groans and I turn my head to see who called him that awesome name. There were two boys walking towards us holding hands so I was presuming another couple. One boy had already small stubble growing on his chin; he also had dark brown hair that came over his forehead with skunk stripe in the middle. The other boy was clean shaven and had a lighter hair color which also came down his forehead.

“What do you want Jack?” Ray asked playfully

“Just wondering who this chick is?” Jack replied sitting down next to me

“This chick is Christa, She’s new here and I’m in her classes.”

“Cool, I’m Jack and this is Alex” They both stuck there hands out and I gladly shook them.

“So have you met the rest of the gang” asked Alex

“I’ve met Frank, Gerard, Oli and Ray” I responded with a smile.

“Great all you have left is Patrick, Mikey who is Gerard's brother, Brandon who is out sick for the day, and Pete”

I nodded; wow I was making a lot of friends for my first day. I never in my life expected this to happen. At that last name someone came up behind me.

“You guys talking about me?” The stranger laughed.

I turned around and it was another boy with black hair coming down his forehead which had red dyed down the front. I stuck my hand out.

"I'm Christa, I'm new here and Ray is helping me around"

He shook my hand and gave a friendly smile "Nice to meet you" He walked to the remaining seat in between Alex and Ray.

"So i'm throwing a party tonight, who's coming?"

Alex and Jack quickly responded and Ray agreed, Ray turned to me "Did you want to come?"

"Well..I think i'm going to stay home" I said quietly.

"Come on Christa!" Alex demanded "Pete's going to have beer there, he is like the only party thrower that can get beer"

My eyes widened a little, I've never had beer before...or been to a party. Of course Jack realized this.

"Christa, have you ever had a drink before?" I shook my head in shame, Fucking 17 years old and has not had a life.

"Then you are definitely coming to this party!" Alex bursted out.

I thought it over for a second "Okay, i'll go" They all cheered and I felt special for a moment. it was a weird, new feeling.

"Where do you live? I could pick you up?" Interjected Ray, I gave him my address and he laughed. "Your house is like two blocks away from Pete's, We can just walk there"

"Okay you guys in the back, It's time to settle down" We all whipped our heads around to see the teacher staring at us sternly. "Sorry" We all muttered

---

I finally got through the rest of the day, Apparently a blonde boy named Patrick who was really sweet was Pete's boyfriend and was also coming. I guess everyone was coming to the party. Frank, Gerard, Oli, Jack, Alex, Mikey, Patrick, Pete and Ray and Me..At least the people who I knew, i'm pretty sure there will be others.

I rode the hellish school bus home while listening to my music. I could see from the corner of my eye two blonde girls who were wearing skimpy crop tops and short shorts were staring at me, Whispering to each other, I rolled my eyes and turned my music louder blocking out the rest of the sound from the bus. I got off the bus and walked little ways to my house; I let myself in.

"I'm home!" I called, nothing but silence. I went into the kitchen to see my mother making some tea.

"Thanks for answering" I muttered, She ignored me. "Where's dad?" "Sleeping" she muttered taking a sip form her drink. I nodded and went into my bedroom. No 'how was your day'? or 'did you make any friends'? Not even a 'glad you're home'.

I placed my backpack down, homework could wait.
Ray said the party was at 7:00, It was already 3:30.
Time to get ready.
