"I wonder if the school is big," I said to myself whilst walking to the car with Xander behind me "It's big trust me" Xander spoke up. He opened the back door for me and I sat in my car seat
"Who will pick me up?" I asked my brother "Hopefully Adriel" he replied.
I looked out the window as it started raining; the raindrops were doing races among the window
"I miss Eve" I whispered to no one in particular, Xander looked at me from the mirror "Your best friend Eve?" he asked me
I nodded "Yeah" Xander sighed "Maybe Adriel could take you to go see her" he mentioned
"Would he?" I asked him, Xander nodded "I'm sure he's more than happy to take you" I smiled at him
As they approached the school gates, Xander's grip tightened on the steering wheel, his gaze lingering on Luella's eager face in the rearview mirror.
"Alright, time to go in" He spoke up opening my door and lending me a hand to help me get out
"Woah," I said looking around the school "Come on," he said holding my school bag with one hand and my hand with another "I'm kinda scared" I admitted
Xander looked at me "Why?" he asked me, I shrugged
I wasn't a social person, I hated anything to do with the outside world. It's weird to say this at a young age but I really didn't like it
"Hey" Xander kneeled down to my level, placed my bag beside him and cupped my face "Stop worrying, you're gonna be fine" he assured me,
I nodded "'Kay" I mumbled and continued walking to my new school
Xander opened the office door and walked to the lady. The lady looked at us "How can I help?" she asked before my brother could reply a nice lady came through the door "Luella?" she said looking at us
I looked at the lady, she seemed exciting "Ah, Gabriela" Xander said walking up to her and hugging her.
'Gabriela' pulled away from my brother and walked up to me, kneeled down to my level "Hey honey" she said smiling, I looked at my brother who nodded
"Hi" I whispered then quickly ran and hugged Xander's leg. He picked me up "Luella that's Gabriela" he introduced her to me "She's gonna be your new teacher okay?" I nodded
"Alright, Luella say bye to your brother and let's get heading inside" She smiled
Xander put me down and kissed my head "If there's anything wrong tell her alright" I nodded and hugged my brother
"Alright come on," Gabriela said holding my hand, getting my bag and taking me to the classroom. she opened the door and I saw around 15 other kids playing around "Alright everyone, let's settle down now!" Gabriela shouted.
everyone went to their seats and sat waiting for Gabriela to start speaking
"Guy's this is Luella, she's a new friend," she said smiling "Hey!" everyone shouted "Hi" I mumbled waving at them "Luella, here take a seat," Gabriela said directing me next to a girl who was smiling brightly
I sat down "Hey," the girl said "Hi" I smiled back at her "My name is Adalia but you can call me Ada" she introduced herself to me "I'm Luella but you can call me Ella like my brothers do," I said
"You have brothers?" she said excited "Yup, three big brothers," I told her "Ah, I have a twin brother," she said turning around and pointing to a boy sitting on a table on the other side of the room beside other boys and one girl "That's him, Alejo"
He was cute I guess
"He's very, I don't know, mean?" she told me turning back around facing me "Why?" I asked her curiously
"He's mean to everyone here, he never shares anything" she explained
"Oh, so he's a meanie," I said smiling, Adalia nodded "Sure is" she agreed "So how old are your brothers?" She asked me
"Twenty four, twenty one and nineteen," I told her "Woah, they're big" She giggled "yup"
The rest of the day went in a blink of an eye.
We were currently waiting to go home. "Adalia and Alejo your mum is here" Gabriela called out "I'll see you tomorrow Ella," Adalia said hugging me "Bye," I said back
I noticed Alejo glaring at me. What's wrong?
"Bye Gabriela," the twins said and walked out "Luella, Xavier is here" She called out for me next. I grabbed my bag and made my way out
"Bye Gabriela" I smiled waving at her and walked up to Xavier "Hey baby," he said hugging me
"Ella stay here for one second, let me speak to Gabriela"

"How was she?" I asked Gabriela "Don't worry about her, she's an angel" she smiled, "Did anything happen?" I said
"Nope, she's a pleasure to teach bless," she said looking at Ella who was waiting for me "Alright then, thank you," I said and walked back to my sister and picked her up "So how was your day," I said kissing her cheek
"Super fun!" she said joyfully "I'm glad baby" I whispered to her
