High school stories
You look at the person sitting next to you. She's got strawberry blond hair that's tied back into a bun, and green eyes that look at you questioningly. "I was just asking, you know." She replies cheerfully. Your snarky reply doesn't bother her. "I am new to this town too. Maybe we can get to know each other a bit, help each other out? The name's Emma, by the way."
You decide a bit of an introduction won't do any harm. "The name's Alex. Yeah, helping each other out doesn't sound bad."
She laughs and says, "See, that wasn't so hard, now was it?" You begin to feel lighter. Maybe this whole thing isn't as bad as it seems.
You reach the school soon, and the familiar feling of nausea returns to you. Emma notices this, and reaches out to grab your hand and steady you. "It'll be fine! I'm here for you. Let's do this."
You take a deep breath and walk in.
