My English literature class was probably my favorite class, but the teacher managed to give us a 10 page long book report on Moby Dick. I mean, I'm sure I might have read longer books before but not for a book report! Thankfully my last class was a free period today so I went to the library to get started on my book report that would probably take me forever.

After sitting in the library for the past half an hour without getting any work done, I felt completely and utterly annoyed. I sigh loudly and look up to see a girl with long dark brown hair and dark brown eyes sitting on the table opposite mine. But more importantly it looked like she was almost done with her book report! How did she do that? Maybe I should go talk to her and ask her for help or something. Wait, I can't do that! I don't even know her. But I am completely clueless about this assignment. Maybe I should do this and prove to myself that I can talk to a stranger without her having to talk to me first. Yeah I should. But I'm scared! Shut up voice in my head! I'm going to do it.

So I got up and walked towards the girl but then I just turned and walked away back to my seat. I couldn't do it. No I will. I started walking back to her. This time I stopped and just stared at her trying to figure out what to say.

"Uhhh.... Hi?" I say, feeling nervous. She immediately looks up.

"Hi? Can I help you?" She asks me, sounding friendly. [gif]

"Uh yeah you can. It's just t-that I noticed that you were almost done with your book report and I'm not able to even start mine. So I was wondering if maybe you could....you know if you're not too busy! No wait, who am I kidding you probably are busy-"

She suddenly cuts of my rambling with a small laugh and says "Of course I'll help you; I've already read the book before so it was pretty easy. Anyway what's your name? I've never seen you here before."

"Uh my name is Lana Deluca."

"Well hello Lana, I'm Leila Jones."

She then gestures for me to take a seat, which I do. But all I can think about is the fact that I actually spoke to someone by myself! I was suddenly so happy. I then tune myself back to what she was saying. I kept listening and nodding a few times as she explained the story to me. After she was done I thanked her for her help and got up, ready to get back to my seat and start on my project.

But before I could get up and say a quick thanks and leave, she said, "Hey Lana if you want, you could sit with me and my friends at lunch tomorrow. It would be really fun, unless you already have other friends. Then its fine."

To say I was shocked would be a huge understatement. Wow! Someone wanted to hang out with me. This is incredible. Then I realized I had zoned out and quickly replied to her, "No, I don't have any other friends here. And it would be totally awesome to sit with you and your friends! If you uh don't mind that is...."

"No of course I don't mind. Why else would I ask then? Anyway I'll see you tomorrow. Bye!"

"Y-yeah bye and thanks again!" I replied quickly before I rushed out of the library since the bell had gone by now and my parents would be waiting outside for me.

As soon as I got into the car both my parents turned to me and asked, well more like yelled, "How was your first day?"

"It was fine. I sort of made two friends. Sort of. And one of them invited me to sit with her and her friends at lunch tomorrow. So yay I guess..." I reply trying but probably failing to sound nonchalant.

"Oh my gosh! This is amazing Lana! Aww my baby is growing up!" My mom all but yells at me while my dad smiles and starts driving out of the school and back home.

"Okay now tell me exactly what happened!" My mom says, dragging me to the sofa as soon as we enter the house. And so I tell her about how I met Rachel Adams and Leila Jones. When I was done she looked so proud of me for talking to Leila by myself and also for the fact that Rachel had said that I was a good singer. I was proud of myself for that too even if I thought that Rachel might have just said that to be polite but one can hope, can't they?

After my huge discussion with my mom, I went up to my room to do my book report. Then about two hours before dinner my mom called me to come downstairs. "What's up mom? Why did you call?" I ask while walking down the stairs.

"Honey, I need you to run to the store for me and pick up some last minute stuff I need."

"But mom! Why can't dad get it or even you?"

"We can't sweetheart because I'm very tired from all the work I've been doing and your father is taking a nap. Please do this Lana without any arguing."

"Ugh fine! I'll go get dressed!"

And that's how I ended up walking down multiple aisles searching for things from my mom's seemingly never ending list of groceries. Now where was that pancake mix? I walk into the pancake mix aisle and subconsciously register that there's someone else in the aisle as well. Anyway, I start looking at the stores whole collection of pancake mixes but I can't find the specific one my mom wrote. Oh wait there it is! The last item on my list and it looks like the last one in stock. I reach out to grab it but as my hand covers one side of it, someone else's hand is suddenly covering the other side of it at the same time!

I look up in annoyance to see who's holding the other side and I see a guy of about my age with amazing looking light brown hair and dark blue eyes staring down at me. "Can you get your hands off this box please? I saw it first," I say to him trying to be polite.

"What are you talking about? I obviously grabbed it before you."

"No you didn't. I grabbed it before you and I've been looking for this everywhere and am now extremely annoyed!"

"Well I don't care so just give it to me."

"Yeah sure, I'll do that when pigs fly."

"I said give it to me!"

"Uhh...do you see pigs flying anywhere?"

"Wait what?"

"Exactly!" In the idiots confusion he loosens his grip on the box and I immediately take full hold of it and run towards the counter and start the billing process.

I thankfully don't see the guy again after that and just rush back home. I was seriously annoyed with that guy and the fact that I was there for half an hour searching for everything. But even then I can't believe I had the guts to shout at him and everything. And I'm surprised he didn't start calling me fat or something. He must not have been from my old school otherwise he definitely would have. It doesn't matter anyway because I don't care about my old school anymore. I haven't seen Sierra since then either which I'm glad about.
