Lucy

The rest of the school day went by quickly, but I couldn't stop thinking about lunch in the caf. It was nice of them to let me sit with them and apparently they don't think I'm wired, which makes me happy. However, I need to find someone else to sit with, I don't want to have to permanently burden the boys and I'm sure they will get tired of me.

As I walk home, I suddenly feel lonely. I wish my parents picked me up after school today so I could just blast my music, annoy them, and not think about me being new at this school, since I'm still quite nervous about it. I mean, today was fine, but tomorrow could suck.

As I look around, I notice a mini park across the street. I look at my watch and realize I have a bit of time to waste, especially since we didn't get much homework because it was only the first day of school. I walk over to the pair of swings in the middle of the park and sit on one. I haven't been on the swings since like 5th grade at school because the parks near my house and middle school didn't have swings. As I swing I begin to smile because I'm happy that I didn't forget how to swing. As I get higher and higher I remember the old days with a sense of nostalgia. I look into the clear blue sky and begin to miss my friends. We used to go as high as we could, pretending we could only reach the stars and clouds that way. As I loose momentum, I'm reminded of how lonely I am here. You are new. Don't worry, you will find someone or some people I tell myself but I don't fully believe. I sigh and decide to text the only person who I think can keep me from spiraling farther into sadness.

Lucy: sup iyana!

Iyana: hai! Omg it feels like I haven't seen or heard from u in ages my darling! Still sad u had to move schools. :(

Lucy: transfer schools, not move

Lucy: but it makes me sad too :(

Iyana: well, how are? Do u like it?

Lucy: I'm fine I guess. How r u?

Iyana: I'm dandy! But not as dandy as if u were here

Lucy: dandy?

Iyana: yes, dandy my girl! Anyways u didn't answer the second part of my question. Do u like it?

Lucy: sure? Idk

Iyana: U Don't Know!?!?!

Lucy: whaaaat? I don't. It's hard to compare and there has only been 1 day so far.

Iyana: true. What classes do u have?

Lucy: same as u + art? :)

Iyana: that's good. Especially since u didn't get that here. U r gonna like like it - I can feel it in my bones

Lucy: yea.

Lucy: how about u!

Iyana: nothing is new. Same old same old.

Iyana: Hey why did u text me?

I gulped. She was just starting to make me feel better. I don't want to talk about this.

Lucy: what? I can't text my bbf whenever I'd like?

Iyana: no. U know u can because I'm always here to chat. I just wanted to make sure all is ok. I still care u know.

Lucy: yeah

Lucy: I'm fine. It's nothing really. And I'm not sure u can help.

Iyana: u lonely? I miss ya 2

I smile. Iyana always has a way of reading my mind even when we are miles apart. She probably knows me better than I do myself.

Lucy: yes, yes I am

Iyana: it's ok. Who did u sit with at lunch?

Lucy: no one. Just some boys. One of them is my art class b4 lunch. He's a junior.

Iyana: oooooo boys. Go Girl! Get 'em. O.o

Lucy: Iyana! Seriously??! I can't believe u. U know I'm not like that. Boys are so uncomfortable. And I honestly DO NOT CARE

After I texted her that, I realize something that was weird. It was uncomfortable being new, but it didn't seem so bad around the boys - they kinda just welcomed me in. I never knew anyone who was like that, except for Iyana.

Iyana: soooo what r they like?

Lucy: really?

Iyana: YES. Now spill!

I sigh. I can't believe I forgot how stubborn she could be.

Lucy: Well. There was four of them.

Iyana: oooo. Now explain one by one.

Lucy: why? It is not like u r gonna meet them or like anything is gonna happen that requires that u meet them.

Iyana: tell me

Lucy: fine

Lucy: Ashton Irwin- the junior who is in my art class - he used to swim but now he "can't stand the smell of chlorine anymore"

Iyana: oooo. u like swimming too. what else?

Lucy: he plays the drums

Iyana: pic? pls send pic asap

Lucy: why?

Iyana: pls. I just need to know

Lucy: hmmmmmm

Iyana: o c'mon! nothing is really going. I just want to see what these boys my girl is hangin' out with look like. just in case I need to kill them because u know I would if they did anything to u.

Lucy: u r not going to need to kill them

Iyana: u never know.

Iyana: NOW SEND ME THE PICS!

I give in and go to the school directory in my school profile. I feel like a stalker, flicking through the school photos and phone numbers. You are not stalking them. It is all Iyana's fault I try to tell myself. But I still feel guilty.

Lucy: here (sends picture)

Iyana: ALL of them pls!

Lucy: really? is this necessary? (sends pictures of others)

Iyana: yes. now which one is Ashton?

Lucy: the one with hazel eyes and curly light brown hair

Iyana: ooooooo. I bet he's a good banger! with 1000 watt smile :)

Lucy: yea. probably

Lucy: WAIT WHAT?!?!?

Iyana: he he ;) lol. that took u sec. :) I bet he could bang all kinds of things to the moon and back and it would be a FAB ride

Lucy: u disgust me sometimes

Iyana: that what I'm here for! :)

Iyana: fine. what/which are the others?

Lucy: the one with bright hair and the eyebrow piercing is Michael Clifford. he doesn't go to school there. he plays guitar. I ran into him on the way to art. He likes pizza. A lot

Iyana: PIZZA! I LUV PIZZA! <3 <3 <3

Lucy: I think he loves it even more than u.

Iyana: no way. NO ONE will luv pizza more than I do and that is a fact

Iyana: why do his eyes look grey in this pic? No one has grey eyes. Wait, how did u get this pic?

Lucy: research like u :)

Lucy: idk if they r grey r not.

Lucy: but it is possible for people to have grey eyes, it is just very rare.

Iyana: smarty pants

Lucy: u luv me tho <3

Iyana: yes <3

Lucy: the one with the dark brown eyes and dark brown curly hair is Calum Hood. He plays the bass

I remember then that he was the one with the soul searching eyes that I had bumped into in my rush to my first class. Why didn't I notice that sooner?

Iyana: I'm sure he is all about that bass!

Lucy: wow. I caught that one. I'm leaving now.

Iyana: pls nooooooo! Don't go! I miss u!

Lucy:

Iyana: Lucy? R there? Sup?

Lucy:

Iyana: ello?

Lucy: whaaat?!?!?

Iyana: phew. I thought u really left.

Lucy: I will next time u say anything like that. Why r u like this today?

Iyana: idk, but u still have one more to tell me about.

Lucy: his name is Luke Hemmings. He plays guitar too. He is in my Chem and English classes. Black lip piercing. Blond hair and blue eyes.

But his eyes. They looked like the sky and the sea. They made me drown while lifting me up all while pulling me in. They were so intense and just ... beautiful. It gave me a weird feeling.

Iyana: surf?

Lucy: no. That's a stereotype u know

Iyana: hmmmm

Lucy: what?

Iyana:

Lucy: lo?

Iyana: he has got some great covers tho. fab

Lucy: u really just looked him up rn?

Iyana: yup! but seriously, look at the covers.

I search him up and click on a few links to some videos, all of them being covers. After watching a few, I see how talented he is. I can tell he is really passionate about playing. Tearing my eyes from the vids, I decide to respond to Iyana.

Lucy: yes

Iyana: yes what?

Lucy: I agree that they r great

Iyana: see. I told ya

Iyana: btw, since they all play instruments, r they like in a band or something?

Lucy: good question... idk

Iyana: well, I'm gonna meet them someday soon

Lucy: no, u r probably not. there will be no reason to

Iyana: yes I will. Just wait n see ;)

Iyana: how was the rest of ur day?

Lucy: fine. u never answered how ur 1st day was

Iyana: fine. not as good tho without u :(

Lucy: here we go again. pls don't make me cry :(

Iyana: srry. I just miss u

I smile and look back at my watch. I need to go home and it is getting kind of dark and chilly out here.

Lucy: I miss u too <3

Lucy: gotta go. thx 4 making me fell better. ttyl very soon

Iyana: yea me too. glad I could help :) ttyl ∞

I get up from the swing I was sitting on and walk back across the street heading towards home. I look back at the park one more time and smile. This is a place I will be coming back to for sure.

;) --- :I

I know Michael does not have grey eyes, but I know a lot of people who think he does. I don't think so though.

As usual, if you see any error or typos PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

I'm sorry if this is kinda slow so far, but I hope you like it.

YAY! A new character! What do you think of Iyana? Do you like her?
