Cry Baby tucked her shirt in her skirt.
Different and some familiar kids walked by her.
Her backpack was slumped over her shoulder.
She looked the same to every girl since they all had to wear a uniform.
The boys wore a white short-sleeve shirt with black dress pants.
It didn't matter what shoes you wore as long as they were for running.

"Hello."
Someone said behind Cry Baby.
They walked by her side.
It was a girl with dark brown hair and blue eyes.
"H-hey."
Cry Baby says back.
"I'm guessing you are new here. Do you know where you are going for classes?"
The girl asks.
"N-not really."
Cry Baby pulls out her schedule.
The girl grabs her schedule and looks at all of her classes.
"Your first period is gym. The gymnasium is right behind you—"
She points down the hall behind them.
"Down the hall."
Cry Baby nods.
"Second period is history. Come here, let me show you where it is."
The girl started walking into a random hall and came upon three doors. One said "math" another said "foreign language" and "history".
"Here's your history class! Warning, the teacher's a little mean."
She says.
The random girl who Cry Baby thought was nice showed her the rest of her classes.
She asked her what her name was and she said it was Jessica.

Jessica and Cry Baby became friends with each other.
They had the same interests.
Their style was the same.
They liked the same music.
They both had the same homeroom together so they could chat longer.

"Favorite color?"
Jessica asked.
"Pink. Pink like you see in the sky when the sunsets."
Which is what Cry Baby told Blurryface.
"Mines green."
She smiled.
"Do you have a crush on any of the new boys you've seen?"
Jessica nudges Cry Baby's shoulder.
Cry Baby knew her crush and it definitely wasn't any of the new boys she'd seen.
"Actually... I have had a crush on this one boy at my old school."
She can't help but smile as she thinks about him.
"Ooh, who's he?"
Jessica laughs.
"People call him Blurryface."
Jessica cries out at his name.
"Blurryface?"
Cry Baby looks down.
"Yeah, I wouldn't make fun of it, though."
Jessica stops laughing.
"Why?"
She asks.
"It just means something to him."
Cry Baby says.
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Jessica looks down.

Suddenly, a group of boys walk into the class and talk loudly.
Another boy walks in behind them.
Cry Baby's heart fluttered as she saw him.
He looked so cute in his white short-sleeved shirt.
It showed off his arms well.
His pants were just short enough to show his ankles.
He wore red socks.

"Is that Blurryface?"
Jessica whispers.
"Y-yeah."
Cry Baby got out of her desk and walked towards him.
His eyes saw her.
His eyes widened and his eyebrows lifted a little.
A little smile crept on his face.
"Hi."
Cry baby smiled.
"Hello."
Blurryface grabbed her hand.
"Oooh, are you guys... dating?"
A random jerk said.
"Shut up, loser. You've been suspended at least ten times."
Jessica said.
"Thirteen times, actually."
The group of boys laughed.
"Find a new hobby, dickhead."
Blurryface says.
"The little boy actually said something!"
A boy with black hair said.
Blurryface rolled his eyes and walked out of the room with Cry Baby.
"They already don't like us."
Cry Baby said.
"We didn't even do anything."
Blurryface sighs.
"They're just looking for trouble. Ignore them."
Cry Baby gets on her tippy toes and kisses his cheek.
Blurryface blushes and smiles at Cry Baby.
