     " uh hellooooo.... Umm I'm a freshman here. My family and I went on an extended vacation, so I kinda missed the first week of school. By any chance, can you give me my schedule?" I politely asked the office secretary.

       She was old. I don't wanna seem mean, but she was pretty old. The wrinkles on her face was blending in with the colours of her glasses. For an old lady she was pretty brave to try on such a bold colour of lipstick-red.

      " of course little lady," she said in her old lady high pitch tone," I'll buzz down your class to send down someone to pick you up. For the mean time, why don't you sit down on one of the benches outside."

      I was looking around the school's trophies and awards, taking in every detail. The honestly have an award for everything. One for drama, art, dance, math, science, language, oral communication, French, Spanish-

      "- uh hi! I'm Jordan! I'm the runner to come pick you up and give you a tour!" Jordan said with a huge warming smile,.

       He looked roughly about 6 feet tall, with shaggy curly brown hair. His hair didn't look exactly like an afro, like you may hoped, but it was less volumized and intense.

     " hey! I'm Sofia," I said getting up

       I was kinda creeped out. Jordan was just staring at me.

      " Helllllloooooooooo????"
      " oh sorry I got distracted. Let's get this show on the road! Shall we?"

      Jordan showed me where my locker was, all of my classes, the bathroom, and the cafeteria.

     " so Sofia, tell me about yourself."
      " what do you wanna know?"
     " everything."

      I hesitated before replying to him.

      " um don't you think that telling someone who I know nothing about, except for their name is a little too much?"
       " ok fine. I'm 14 years old and my birthday is on January 5th. I love sports and I'm a complete goofball-"
       "- isn't every guy a goofball?"
       Jordan glared at me before continuing, " as I was saying, I'm not very serious on my grades because honestly I don't know what point in our lives is when we are going to need to know that E=MC2. There, now you know something about me that isn't my name.'
       " fine I guess it's only fair. My name is Sofia. I'm 14. My birthday is on February 15th. I love the arts and FOOD!"
      " that's it?!?"
      " well no, but im going to need to trust you a little more to tell you my backstory."
      " what's it going to take for you to trust me?"
      " a little more time?"
      Jordan shrugged his shoulders as he said "makes sense! So what happened to you in the first week of school?"
       " I uh ah umm.... Went on a family vacation! To..... Ahhh Floorrrida!"
       " oh cool! Well here's you class! I'll see you around"
       " bye"

       The school day went by like a breeze. I went to my first four classes then to lunch. Jordan offered a seat next to him for me, but I declined saying I was going to meet up with my best friends Liz.  Jordan's locker also happens to be next to mine. After my other four classes I went back home.

     " gram I'm home!!!'
     " oh hey darling. grab your backpack. You have another doctors appointment with Doctor Adams. You may stay there for the rest of the day."
     " WHATTTT?!? again!! I spent a whole week being hospitalized in there!!"
     " I know, but there is nothing we can do. Doctor Adams needs to make sure that your disease isn't getting worse. And besides we have the results for the surgery you had that week."
     " fine lets go."
