It was break time, and Arty was going to show me a few of her friends. She left class with her sister, leaving me. “Hey Arty wait up!” I ran out of class and tried to catch up. I was so interested in catching up with my friend that I forgot where I was going and bumped into someone. I fell to the ground, dropping my books.

“Sorry sorry!” I tried getting up, and then I saw him.

“No need to apologise,” he said, helping me up. “You ok?” He asked.

“Yeah…” I was gazing into his eyes. He’s so cute. Then I snapped back into reality. He passed me my books. “Well, I guess I’ll see you later…”

“Wave.” I replied. “Wave. See you later!” He walked off. Wait a sec, I thought, do I…have a crush on him?

I caught up with Arty and saw her hanging out with some of her friends. One of them looked familiar. “Oh hi Wave! Let me introduce you to some of my friends.” I looked at them, and one of them looked like they knew me.

“This is Lime Dream, Flame Catcher, Midnight Star and Purple Triangle.” And that’s when I recognised her.

“Wave?”

“Purple?”

We hugged reached other. “OMG, I can’t believe you’re here cousin! It’s been so long!” Purple looked over at her friends. “Remember my cousin that I kept talking about? Well this is her!”

I was glad that my cousin was at this school. I forgot that she goes here. We used to hang out all the time when we were kids. We used to have a lot of fun drawing and playing games. Then, when she got into her dream school, she moved away. It was sad to se her go, but I got over it eventually. I guess that’s another reason why I always wanted to move here.

At lunch, I was about to go and sit with my new friends, but there was one thing in my way- bullies. They went in front of me and as I tried to move away, the kept blocking my path.

“Um, do you mind? I’m trying to get past.” They refused to move. “Ha, yeah right.” Then one of the others whispered something to him, and then continued. “On second thoughts, go ahead.” Little did I know that they weren’t done yet. Walking past, they tripped me up, my lunch going flying across the room before slamming down on the floor with me. They laughed at me, with everyone else looking in shock. I tried to get up, but I kept slipping. Even my hands couldn’t get a grip.

“Hey!” I heard a voice, but I was face flat and struggled to see what was going on. “Ugh what do you want Star Ray?” One of the bullies asked. “Quit picking on her!” Then I heard them walk off, saying stuff like “That idiot ruins everything” and “We’ll get her later.”

Now that I assumed the bullies were gone, I tried getting up. I felt my hand grab something. It was a hoof. I managed to get back up, and then I saw him again. “You ok Wave?” He asked. “Um, yeah…kind of.” I saw Arty rush over to me. “Wave! Are you ok? We all saw what happened.” I nodded.

This wasn’t the way to I wanted to start my first day. Despite making new friends, I made new enemies. At least I got through it all.
