** My name is Ana, and I'm finally back in my hometown, maybe I will meet some old friends, but they will be eight years older.... ** I'm starting in the second semester of the school year, so all the teachers have already introduced themselves.. ** it is generally not a good idea to change schools (or cities!) in the middle of high school ** but my father received a great transfer, so we had to come and... who knows, it could be that I ended up liking it ** at school, we don’t wear uniforms, but we have to choose a look to always use, which I think is very practical, haha ** then I wear dark blue jeans with a high waist, a purple shirt, a black all star sneakers and a black jacket ** I look in the mirror and see that the look matched well with my straight black wavy hair and my brown eyes ** my dad left me a little earlier at school, because I still needed to deliver the rest of the documents in the secretariat ** when I get there, I come across a tall boy with slightly curly blond hair and brown eyes ANA_ H-hello, I'm looking for the class representative .. BLOND BOY_ Oh, you must be the newbie! I'm the class leader, my name is Brandon ** he wore a white shirt, with a thin red coat and black pants ANA_ Pleasure Brandon, my name is Ana... Er.. Here are the papers... ** I hand him a folder with some sheets ANA_ I hope everything is there...   BRANDON_ Wow, you are well organized! I wish more students were like that too.. ** a strange silence took over the environment.. ** we both ended up blushing and laughing soon after ** he takes the document folder and turns on the scanner BRANDON_ So... it will take a while Ana, would you like me to show you the school in the meantime? ANA_ It would be a pleasure! ** we left the room and he introduced me to various parts of the school, like the classrooms, the corridors, the inner courtyard at the back of the school... ** after walking and exploring for a while, we came to a room full of books ANA_ Wow!! A library! I didn't know there was one here BRANDON_ Do you like to read ?? ANA_ I love it, it is a beautiful pastime for when we are alone ... BRANDON_ I agree! I also love to read when I'm alone, but maybe I will make an exception to read with you... ** that said, I start to turn red and he blushes a little too ** we went back to the secretariat, where the scanner had already digitized the necessary documents and I signed the last registration papers ** I thanked Brandon and headed for the door ** as I leave the room I come across a redhead with two henchmen * cof cof, friends *, next to the secretariat door CARROT_ Hey you !! What were you doing in there with Brandon ?! ** as i'm only nice to those who are nice to me, i felt free to use my non-gentle side .. ANA_ It is none of your business! CARROT_ Look at the way to talk to me girl!! ** I realize that she is ready to slap me, and I soon put my fists in front of my body, ready to defend myself... ** but suddenly I feel someone putting his arm under my shoulders and lightly bringing his cheek to mine GUY_ Chloe ... You wouldn't hurt a pretty face like that, would you? ** the girl "Chloe" looks red in anger and leaves in disgust, and her friends follow her ** the boy with black hair, blue eyes, and bad boy style with his black jacket, turns to me, laughing at Chloe GUY_ Hahaha, you owe me one, girl ANA_ Thank you, but I know how to defend myself... GUY_ I know you could, but that way it was more fun! ** he gives one more laugh  GUY_ And does the brave little girl have a name? ANA_ My name is Ana GUY_ My name is Tyler... ** he says, while he stares at me and then smiles TYLER_ You're new here, right? Let me show you the school ANA_ Ah.. I would love to.. But a boy named Brandon has already shown me ... TYLER_ Did you say Brandon? ** I nodded, he seems to have been upset by what I said ** but he soon seems to have an idea TYLER_ Come on, let's go to a place that i***t didn't show you ANA_ O-ok ... ** I followed him to the stairs, where there was a discreet door just below ** Tyler inserted what appeared to be a copy of the key and the door unlocked ANA_ Wow, what a rebel.. ** I smirked TYLER_ Hahaha, at first yes, then they gave up and finally decided to let me use the space ANA_ Ah, what a pity... So it stops being so fun ** Tyler watches me with a look of admiration and a sidelong smile, then finally opens the door ** we went down a ladder and came across a basement, I could also see some instruments ANA_ Do you have a band ?? Cool! TYLER_ That's it! I'm the guitarist, Liam sings and plays the keyboard and Brandon's goofy is our drummer ** I smiled, trying to visualize a band playing there TYLER_ So... Does the brave little girl know how to play something? ANA_ Hmm, no .. but some people say that I sing very well ... TYLER_ Hehe, cool, so maybe someday I'll teach you how to play the guitar .. ** I blush a little with the suggestion ANA_ Y-yes, who knows .. ** suddenly the door behind me opens and an elegant guy enters ** he has dark hair and green eyes, and wears a dark jacket that goes to the knees, plus white pants TYLER_ Hey, look who arrived BOY_ Sorry for my delay .. oh ** he is surprised to see a stranger in his secret place, but soon smiles gently BOY_ And who would this beautiful lady be? ANA_ I-I'm Ana ... BOY_ Pleasure Ana, my name is Liam .. ** he gently takes my hand and kisses it, making me flushed due to the sudden action ** I realize that Tyler seems to have been a little irritated by the gesture .. ** we hear the sound of the signal ring ** is my escape from this awkward situation! ANA_ I-I have to go .. See you later boys.. TYLER_ Bye .. LIAM_ See you soon.. ** I leave and go straight to the classroom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #Conversation out of my presence# TYLER_ Why did you do this ?? LIAM_ This what? TYLER_ You kissed her hand!! LIAM_ Oh... Tyler, is she your girlfriend? ** Tyler blushes TYLER_ W-what? No! We met this morning! LIAM_ So it's okay if I want to get close to her, right? TYLER_ What? Take your eye off! I saw her first! LIAM_ That's not how the band plays my friend. ** Liam pats Tyler on the back and leaves ## End of conversation## ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ** when I arrive in the room, I notice that the tables are divided into pairs and I see two girls who when they see me come to talk to me GIRL_ Hey! My name is Gina and this is my friend Lyla, you must be the new girl, what is your name? ANA_ Hi! I'm Ana ** they asked me to sit alone at the double table next to theirs, we talked for a while, then I kind of excluded myself from the conversation and started playing a game on my cell phone, I spend about 3 minutes like that until ... BOY _ Wow!! Do you play Kingdom Rush?? It is one of my favorite console RPGs!! ** I turn my head sharply and frightened when I hear a boy with short, blond hair, with light eyes and gamer clothes saying this to me BOY_ Oh, I'm sorry, did I scare you? Lol, I couldn't help it, it's not every day that you find a girl who likes games!! ** I could only smile, embarrassed BOY_ By the way, my name is Dylan ... ANA_ Hi Dylan, I'm Ana! ** I reach out to greet him and he picks up and shakes a lot, he seems to be very excited DYLAN_ Hehe, can I sit with you? ANA_ Of course, why not? ** he places the backpack on the chair next to mine and sits down ANA_ So.. What else do you play? Do you play LOL? DYLAN_ D-do you ?? ANA_ Yes!! DYLAN_ Wow !! You must be the perfect girl !!! ** he said it so loud that I think the whole school heard it, I could just smile embarrassed and blush strongly ANA_ (whispers) Dylan! You said it really loud, everyone looked at us DYLAN_ (whispers) ops, sorry, I'll try to contain myself ** he chuckles ** at that moment, I could see Brandon entering the room, then Liam followed by Tyler, each one of them was very angry when they saw who the voice they heard was talking about... DYLAN_ (whispers) do you know these guys ?? DYLAN_ (Think) *Because it looks like they are machine-gunning me with theirs eyes!* ANA_ Y-yes .. DYLAN_ A long time ago?? ANA_ I met them this morning ... DYLAN_ Better this way ** he gives a mischievous smile ** I blush a little without understanding and the teacher enters the room, making everyone be silent ** Dylan hands me a piece of paper and approaches my ear DYLAN_ (whispers) shall we play tonight? Give me your nickname ... ** I nod, pick up the paper and write my name in the game ** I return the paper and look around me, I realize that the boys are looking at us seriously ... ** classes continue normally until the bell rings DYLAN_ Let's go An ... ** someone magically appears on our side, interrupting Dylan BRANDON_ Ana! You are here! Come on, your books have arrived, I need you to sign some papers .. ** he puts his hand on my shoulder and leads me quickly to the door ANA_ W-what? A-alright, see you later Dylan ... ** we left the room and kept walking, Brandon didn't disguise his face as upset BRANDON_ I see that you are already making friends... ANA_ Yes, I am! Dylan is really cool! and.. ** he interrupted me BRANDON_ So.. Do you know what you're going to do this afternoon? ANA_ Huh? ... Ah yes, I'm going to finish tidying up my room, study a little, look for a new boxing gym and... BRANDON_ Did you say boxing gym ?? ** wow, who knew he has this ability to interrupt others.. ANA_ Yes... Something against? BRANDON_ No! On the contrary, I can even recommend one, it is close to the park ** he was very happy, I decided to accept without asking ANA_ Ok ... Can you give me the address? ** he wrote down the address on a piece of paper while I signed the papers to receive the books BRANDON_ Well, here's Ana ANA_ Thank you Brandon! I'm going now BRANDON_ Good break! ** he smiled kindly, I return the smile and leave the room ** I go towards the patio and sit on a backless bench with my back to everyone, admiring a pond, a great place to relax ... ** I put the headphones on and closed my eyes, I spent about three minutes there doing nothing... ??? _ Hey, you're in my place girl.. ** I open my eyes and see Tyler standing next to me, smiling, I decided to go with him ANA_ Oh yeah? I can't see your name here .. TYLER_ Haha, move aside ** I pulled away and realizing that he was going to stay, I took off one of the headphones TYLER_ What are you listening to? ** I show the playlist on my phone, he takes a quick look after putting the phone to his ear ANA_ Avril Lavigne... She is one of my favorite singers, I love her songs and her rebellious air.. TYLER_ Haha, calm down, what's all the excitement about ... But you have a good taste, look like a rebel huh? Hehe ** I blush a little at what he says, suddenly, we saw someone approaching LIAM_ Hi Ana, hi Tyler TYLER_ Hey Liam, did you know that the Princess here has an excellent musical taste .. LIAM_ Good to know and ... Princess?? ** he realizes his exaltation and composes himself LIAM_ I mean, are you already changing nicknames? ** I blush TYLER_ Is there a problem? LIAM_ No ... None ... ** Liam was kind of upset, until he seemed to have an idea LIAM_ And you, Ana? What nickname would you give to Tyler? ** Tyler becomes serious when he said that... ANA_ Hmmm... I don't think he would like a nickname, besides, Tyler is a very nice name... ** Tyler blushed at what I said, and Liam looked surprised and disappointed ... LIAM_ Well ... I'm going, I still have to work things out ... ** he left without waiting for an answer TYLER_ Well girl.. you impressed me... But maybe someday I'll let you give me a nickname... ** I turn red ** the signal rings TYLER_ Shall we go? ANA_ Wow .. Are you looking forward to going to class?? TYLER_ Haha, silly, let's go just before I regret it ** we got up from the bench and started walking back to the classroom ** we chatted until we reached the door of the class, when we noticed someone approaching... GUY_ Heyy !! I never saw you around here! You're the new girl aren't you ?! Haha, I'm David and you? ** he seems to be very excited ANA_ Y-yes, I'm Ana .. DAVID_ Ownn you got red, how cute haha! TYLER_ Bah, they’re too rainbow, I can’t stand to stay here too long, I’ll sit down ANA_ Okay .. DAVID_ Byee !! ** Tyler turns and starts walking shaking his head ** I think his badboy style is not very compatible with all of David's animosity DAVID_ Hey Anna! Can I sit with you ?? ANA_ You could, but a boy named Dylan is already filling the place... DAVID_ Did you say Dylan?! Haha, he won't mind seeing me sitting here, haha ANA_ If you say... ** we enter the room and David takes his material and sits in Dylan's place ** we sat and talked some more, soon Dylan arrived DYLAN_ D-David ?? What are you doing in my chair? DAVID_ Hello little brother! You won't mind if I sit here with Anna, will you? ANA_ Little brother?? ** seeing better, the two blondes are very similar DYLAN_ Get out of my place David! ** In an attempt to avoid a fight between brothers, I just grabbed my things and stood up, letting them stay together at that table ANA_ A-Alright boys, I go out ** before they could say anything the teacher came into the class, asking us to write our name on a piece of paper so he could draw groups ** I turned around, avoiding the brothers and looking for a new place ** I found a single place at the back of the class next to a boy in a blue jacket, messy brown hair and brown eyes, he even looked a little familiar ** I approached him, he had his hand on his chin, using it for support, and he seemed to be drawing something .. ANA_ H-hello! GUY_ Hi... ** wow how nice... That must be why no one sits with him... But I have no choice... ANA_ C-can I sit with you..? GUY_ Yes... ** he didn't even take his eyes off what he's doing ** I decide to ignore it, start to pick up my things and write my name on paper GUY_ It's to fold... ANA_ What? GIRL_ The paper... ANA_ O-ok ... ** I fold the paper and see that he has his hand extended waiting, so I hand him the folded paper ** he gets up and goes to hand the paper over to the teacher, I started to think... This kind of coldness is part of who has had a bad experience in the past... ** when he returns, he goes back to doing what he was doing and, after a while, the hand that was on his chin goes to his cheek and he turns to me GUY_ Are you the new girl? ANA_ Yes GUY_ What is your name? ANA_ Ana... And you- ** the teacher starts asking everyone to be silent to start the group draw TEACHER_ Each group will have three people, except the last one because we have one more person... Chloe, Mia and Penny Dylan, David and Lyla Missy, Liam and Gina Brandon, Tyler, Mathew and Ana ... Get together at the tables and I'll explain the work soon GUY_ It seems that we are in the same group ANA_ Are you Mathew? GUY_ Yes ** we were interrupted by the presence of Brandon and Tyler approaching in irritation TYLER_ I can't believe I'm in the same group of this i***t! Isn't that enough in band rehearsals? BRANDON_ You can leave if you want!! There's no one holding you here ** Tyler looks at me blushing, and tries to look away before I know it... ** he sits in the chair, puts the headphones on and takes out his cell phone, Brandon also tries to stay quiet, taking his material to study, while waiting for the teacher's instructions ** Mathew continues to draw, regardless of their presence... His drawing begins to takes shape and... ANA_ It looks really beautiful... ** they turn to me ** oops, I let out what I was thinking... MATHEW_ T-Thank you... Do you draw? ANA_ Yes.. MATHEW_ Can I see? ANA_ O-of course ** I took my notebook in my backpack and opened it on the last pages, as we were already in the middle of the year I had done several drawings.. ** there were some scenery drawings, some chibis, characters I like, sketches and a sunset... MATHEW_ They are really amazing!! ANA_ T-thank you .. ** Tyler and Brandon looked at us seriously MATHEW_ W-wait, and this drawing here, this sunset ?? What made you draw it? ** he points to the drawing ** I sigh, old memories come to my mind.. ANA_ T-the first time I drew was as a child, sometimes I drew again ... It reminds me of an old friend ** Mathew opened his mouth in astonishment, a few seconds later the teacher arrived TEACHER_ Hello, your group stayed with four people... I'm going to write down your names here and... Wait a minute, you're new here, aren't you? What is your name? ANA_ Ana Falcon... ** Mathew's eyes widened when he heard that, put his hand on his chin again and started thinking about something, with a serious face... TEACHER_ The theme of your work will be "mammals", and you will have to choose one, detail its characteristics and make a poster to present... Did you understand everything? ** we all agree with the head TEACHER_ Great! You can start to think about the work! Any questions call me... ** As soon as the teacher leaves, Mathew turns to me MATHEW_ A-Ana... I need to talk to you, outside... ** I look at him scared and the boys looked at him seriously ANA_ A-alright... ** he extends his hand to me and, even not knowing what to do, I take it and get up, he takes us to the teacher MATHEW_ Teacher, can we go outside in the garden? We want to seek more inspiration... TEACHER_ Hmm ... Okay, you can.. But come back soon MATHEW_ Thank you ** we left the room still holding hands and went to the garden ANA_ W-what do you want to tell me? ** we released hands and he put one hand on his hair, as if he were nervous MATHEW_ I... I... ** he was really nervous, so I took his free hand and smiled kindly, as a way of saying that everything is fine ** he sighed and smiled back MATHEW_ Why did you change schools? ANA_ My father was transferred... MATHEW_ Have you lived here before? ANA_ Yes... I moved when I was 9... MATHEW_ Ana... It's really you..? The Ana that I met when I was a child... With who I spent so many moments together..? With who I learned to draw... ANA_ M-Matt? ** with tears in my eyes I throw myself into his arms and hug him ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #Conversation out of my presence# TYLER_ What the hell were they talking about that we can't hear?? BRANDON_ I don't know! But let's find out!! TYLER_ I never thought that I would agree with you someday.. Come on! ** Tyler and Brandon went to the teacher BRANDON_ Teacher, can we go out and do the same as them? TEACHER_ Are you going out for a date too? ** they opened his eyes wide TYLER_ WHAT?? PROFESSOR_ Hahaha, just kidding, they said they would get inspiration for work, you guys can leave too if you want, hahaha... ** without looking the least bit funny, they left, still scared and with the hand holding the heart ##End of conversation## ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ** After a while, I finally get out of Matt's arms, pull away from him a little bit, and look at him smiling and he smiles back ** I could see over his shoulder that Tyler and Brandon were leaving the school building too MATT_ We finally meet again... BRANDON_ What are you doing? Why did you leave us like that? We have a work to do ANA_ Mathew is an old childhood friend... We just discovered this and... MATT_ Is that any of your business, Brandon?! And what is so much to be resolved?? BRANDON_ The division of tasks and where we are going to do the work, for example ANA_ (sigh) We'd better go back then... ** Tyler, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up, and, taking advantage of the argument between Mathew and Brandon, came over to me, and took my hand TYLER_ That's right, come on, you don't have to stay here listening to these fool people fight in front of you ** I let him take my hand and take me inside without saying anything, while Mathew and Brandon went ahead, ignoring each other like two children who just had a fight... ** we arrive in the room and return to our seats, soon the teacher comes to us TEACHER_ Well, I hope that with this time of reflection you already know at least which animal you are going to present... ** we widen our eyes and look at each other afflicted, suddenly an idea comes to my mind ANA_ We are going to present about the human being, for being the most evolved of mammals, besides the more we can talk about ** they turned to me TEACHER_ Perfect! I bet you guys will do a great job! ** that said, he left BRANDON_ Good Ana! You saved us! ** I smile at him MATT_ It's true, you're still as smart as ever... ANA_ T-Thank you ... ** I turn my head so he can't see how flushed I am MATT_ Oh, don't be ashamed... It just makes you even cuter... ** Now I must have turned red, I looked covertly at the boys and they were very serious ** at that moment the bell rang, I don't think I've ever been so happy for this to happen MATT_ Sorry Anna... I can't go with you today, I have an appointment... ANA_ A-Alright Matt... ** he hugged me before going ** I left the room and went to the secretariat to pick up my new books and I came across a huge pile ** I struggled to catch them all and they ended up blocking my view ** I was walking down the hall without seeing anything until.. ??? _ Hahaha, did you really think you would carry all this alone? ANA_ T-Tyler? It's you? TYLER_ Give it to me  ** he took all the books from my hands and started carrying them without difficulty ANA_ Ufs... Thank you! But I could carry some.. TYLER_ Hahaha, I don't think so ** I crossed my arms and kind of pouted TYLER_ Ownn doesn't stay like that, otherwise I will carry them to your home! Hehe ANA_ N-no need, my father must be coming to pick me up already TYLER_ That one over there? ** Tyler points his chin at a man near a car ANA_ Y-yes, there he is, you can stay here if you want... TYLER_ Do you think I'm scared? Girl... I'm not afraid of anything.. ANA_ If you say  ** a few more steps and we reached my dad DAD_ Hi daughter! How was your first day?  ANA_ Hi dad! It was really fun! I think I'll get along here... DAD_ And who is this boy? ANA_  Oh, this is Tyler.. He helped me carry the books here, in fact he didn't let me carry any.. TYLER_ Haha, you haven't been able to see anything before DAD_ Thanks for the kindness Tyler, now let me put the books in the car TYLER_ No need, sir, let me put them there DAD_ If you insist.. ** my dad opens the trunk of the car and Tyler puts the books in there ** while my dad tidied up the books in smaller piles, Tyler came to my ear TYLER_ (whispers) See you tomorrow Little Princess... ANA_ (whispers) S-see you tomorrow Tyler... ** after that he goes back to school, maybe to talk to Liam ** my dad wakes me up to reality calling me to get in the car, we get in and he starts driving home...                                                                 >>
