                         Arias P.O.V
New school new me. This is the place I can finally start over. After two years of begging my parents to let me switch schools. After snapping out of my thoughts as my dad said "Aria did you hear what I said?" "Uh yea dad thanks." I lean over the center console of the car and give him a hug. He looked at me with a raised eyebrow saying " I know you didn't hear me but I'll say it again, if you need anything today don't hesitate to call I will come get you." I nod and open up the car door and start walking into the school. I'm so glad I'm starting in the beginning of senior year and not half way through it. Walking through the doors with my book-bag slung over my shoulder I go into the main office. "Hi my name is Aria Smittin I'm new and I was wondering where I can get my schedule." I said to the secretary. She nodded as if she was waiting for me and went into a folder and pulled out a piece of paper. "Here you go if you need to change anything just come back and we will" "Okay thank you" I said and started my walk to English. Once I reached room 107 I knocked and a younger teacher came to open it. "Ah you must be our new student Aria Smittin, come on in and meet the class." Instantly my cheeks warm up. I scan the room and see a empty seat right in the middle of class. I walk back and sit down. A boy with long curly hair turns around. He looks me up and down, smirks then turns around. Strange I thought to myself. Was it how I dressed? No no it couldn't be I was literally in jeans and a striped t-shirt with some vans. Nothing to be smirky about. I thought longer until the teacher interrupted my thoughts by asking me to tell the class about myself. Great I thought to myself as I stood up and starting walking to the front of the class. "Well, uh, my name is Aria and I love getting piercings. I mean I only have my nose and my ears but I love them." Oh no I'm starting to ramble. "I also really love reading and writing, I enjoy listening to any kind of music." No no Aria stop , stop rambling. " Uh I guess that's about it, I don't want to ramble on." I start to walk back and the curly haired boy spoke up. "No go ahead and continue." I look at him and say " no really it's fine." And continued to walk back to my seat. What feels like hours the bell finally rings. I gather my stuff and walk out out the class to only be stopped by that boy again. What does he want? I thought to myself quietly. "Aria it is right?" He asked. "Yes, why?" "Just wondering, see you around Aria." He said and starting to walk away. "Oh and by the way my name is Luke. Luke Hemmings." He smirked and finally walked off to his next class.
Math was next. I dreaded math. So I take a long slow walk. Being new you can just say you got lost. I will take that advantage. After minutes of not being able to find room 56 I see this girl. Debating if I should ask her where it's at. Within that time she has already walked up to me and asked if I was lost. I said "yes do you know where room 56 is?" "Oh yes that's the class I'm in right now let's go, and my name is Nina Davis. Are you new here?" "Well that's great, and my name is Aria. Oh and to answer your question yes I am new." I say. "Oh good! We can be friends! When do you have lunch? Want to sit with me? Oh of course you do you're new!" She said as we were walking to class."Yes I'll sit with you, I have lunch after science and yes we can be friends." I said laughing. "Well looks like we're here, and I have science next too. Room 24 right? We can walk together." "Yea that sounds good. Thank you." I said as I knock on the door. The teacher gets up and he looks mad. Great I thought. He opens the door and says "you must be the new girl thinking she can get away with being late and Nina I expected better from you go in. As for you... Aria right? Don't show up late again. Now go in." He said angrily. I nodded and walked in and thankfully there is a seat next to Nina and a boy with red hair. As long as it's not Luke Hemmings. That boy rubs me the wrong way. Forty five minutes of me just tapping my pencil and looking up at the teacher every five minutes who was giving us a lecture on the first day of school. Tapping my pencil I guess very loudly makes the boy with the red hair look over at me. "Can you please stop that, it's quite loud and I'm trying to listen. Well kind of I don't really care about math. It's senior year but still can you stop?" "Oh yea sorry" I murmured back not really caring. I just need this bell to ring. "Not going to ask what my name is?" He asked. "I mean I wasn't going to but what is your name?" I said sarcastically. "Well thanks for asking it's Ashton Irwin." He said with a slight smile. "Cool I'm Aria but if you were so bothered by my tapping shouldn't you be paying attention instead of asking me to ask what your name is?" I said with a slight amount of attitude. "Well I'd be damn you got some attitude to you, which I like might I add" he said smirking. "In your dreams." I said and the bell rang. Gathering my stuff I ran outside the class and waited for Nina. I couldn't bare to talk to Ashton for another minute. Like who asks someone to ask them what their name is? "Hey you ready?" Nina said. "Yes I am." I said and we walked to class.
