avereys pov
I entered the school regretting even coming. I liked being homeschool. No hate or any friends, the perfect life. Entering this school i had one friend. Our parents were friends so she came over a lot. Her mom is the reason i'm even going to this stupid school. Her name is Kyla. I went to my locker, or attempted i was more lost than Will in the upside down. I pulled out my phone and texted my trustworhy bestfriend.
averey: hey, i'm lost as ever and there's no cute guy to ask for help so i'm stuck here texting you.
kyla: oh i feel the love, where r u?
averey: that's the bad part. i have no clue
kyla: It's not that hard look around. Tell me what you see, classroom numbers? Oh and Noah is with me is that ok?
averey: room 011. Yes that's fine just hurry😂
kyla: on my way🤠
putting my phone away i look around waiting for kyla. About five minutes later she comes up. "About time!" i screech. "Sorry sorry this turd baby kept me waiting" she said annoyingly. "Kyla i told you not to call me that anymore!" Noah yelled. I couldn't help but laugh. 'Wtf is a turd baby and why' was all i could think. Giving kyla my schedule i ask for help. "You have science first, lucky" she says as she starts walking signaling for me to follow. I shrug and play follow the leader. Noah seems nice but he seems really innocent. I haven't heard him say one cuss word. I keep following for what feels like forever until im here at class 853. I step in looking around and find a seat in the back hoping to be invisible from all human eyes until i noticed someone staring at me. I stared back and then it kinda got really awkward and I looked back at my phone and didn't look up the whole period.
Leaving the class i was stopped by a hand on my shoulder. It was him again. What did he want from me. "What do u want from me" i say louder than i wanted moving my shoulder from his touch. "a friend" he replied. i cringed at that but realized i could use some. "i guess we could be friends Mr. mysterious, i'm averey and you are...?" before he could reply his friends pull him outta the classroom. I shrug because he looked like he had enough friends and walked to my next class. Walking i spotted Noah...alone. I didn't feel the frown come on face until he asked what's wrong. Nothing i say realizing i was alone too and kyla was probably our only friend. "Where ya heading" he asks me. I suddenly remember i was just wandering again. Looking at my schedule "i have english with a teacher named Mrs. Hopper" i reply. I walk in and everyone is lined up on the back of the wall like they are about to get a mugshot taken or something. "Come here" that one boy from first said to me. I join them not sure what is happening. "She's picking seats" He says then looks back forward. Now it's making more sense. I wait for her to make sure everyone is here. I buy time by pulling out my phone.
kyla♥️ added you and Noah🤞🏼 to a chat.
Kyla: hey friends
Noah: what is this
Kyla: what does it look like
Noah: a groupchat
Kyla: your slow turd baby
Noah: stop calling me that
i can help but laugh at that last text. Putting my phone away and look around to see most of class is siting down. I hope she didn't call my name already. There's about ten people left counting the mysterious person. Waiting impatiently she finally calls me. I'm in the back, yes! She even places my new "friend" next to me. Is it accurate for me to call him that yet? I shrug. Sitting down he doesn't even acknowledge me. Weird. Why does this disappoint me? Oh yea bc as u can see it's very hard for me to make friends. I look at him and he stays looking forward. I cringe at how bad
someone could wanna ignore me that bad. He barely knows me. Wanting to know his name i watch as he writes his name on the paper she hands us. J-A-E-D-E-N. I notice how he spells it and i laugh a little. I think he noticed because he looked at me and said "Something funny?" I frown. Kinda scared. "um,no" i reply. "Just your the first person i know that spells their name like that" i say. I guess that kinda made him like me more because he replied with "i know averey". I was confused on how knew my name until i remembered i told him until his friends came. I nodded my head and looked back at the front.
Leaving the class i went back to my phone. Ten messages. I thought there would be more until i realized i do have two ,kinda three friends.
kyla: Averey why are you so good get on your phone
Noah: I'm the most innocent one here and i still go on my phone
so he was innocent. I smile at my knowledge and look back at my phone.
kyla: Noah u won't even walk on a handicapped parking spot because u think it's rude.
Noah: and there's nothing wrong with that!!!
i found myself laughing. maybe a little too loud because someone came up behind me and said "something funny" and took my phone. I jumped and almost pissed myself. "Who are wtf dude give me it back" i started chasing him. "Handicapped parking huh" He says. I laugh a little, he's kinda cute but definitely not my type. He hands it back and walks away as if nothing happened. I run up to him and ask his name. "Finn, Finn Wolfhard" he replies.
