1 First Day

"This is it! The first day of 11th grade!" I say to myself as I walk through the doors of school. The first day jitters just never seem to go away for me. I go to my first period and sit down at a desk. After five minutes of class, the whole school then heads toward the auditorium for the same old speech every year.

I go to sit down with my best friend, Adaline, and say, "Hey Adaline!" Adaline gives me a friendly smile and says, "Hey Ashton!" She's really pretty that has emerald green eyes, curly red hair, and is slightly taller than me (me being 5'7"). Adaline has been my friend since I moved here last year. I was mostly a shy person when I came to school here, but getting to know Adaline has made me a bit more talkative to others just a bit. She's practically my only friend that I've made since I moved.

Well that's not true since I'm also kind of friends with Zach. He's more outgoing than I am and is kind of popular with the 11th grade. He has hazel brown eyes, curly black hair, and only three inches taller than me. I was surprised that he actually came up to me and started talking to me. At first, I didn't know what to do since I was too shy of a person. Eventually I had to say something and my first words to him were, "Why are you talking to me?" Internally I thought, "Why did I say that?! He was just being nice to me." Even though I said that, he still continued to talk to me and I eventually started conversing with him until I was comfortable with him to talk with.

After the speech, we go back to class and start doing some school work. Halfway through the day and it's already lunch time. I go and wait in line and take whatever they're serving. I sit by myself since I can't find Adaline anywhere in the cafeteria. After that's over, I head to my fourth period class.

As I head to my last period, Zach comes up to me and says, "Hey there Ashton!" I say, "Hey Zach! Sorry, but I can't talk right now! Heading to my last period." Zach asks, "Which class are you headed to?" I respond, "I'm headed to band class." I start to walk toward the band class, but Zach keeps walking with me. He says, "Oh yeah? I got band as well!" I then say, "Oh? Well lucky me." I was kind of confused because, as far as I knew, he never took a band class before. We head toward class and see that he's actually serious about being in the same class. "Well, I guess we really would be classmates for a period." We go and sit down in our respected section, mine being brass and his being woodwind, and start to play.

Since it's almost the end of the school day, we go to our lockers so that we can put our stuff away or get out backpacks. When I open my locker, an envelope falls out. "This is weird. Who sends letters these days?" I thinks as I start to open the envelope. It contains a letter that says;

"Oh my! What do we have here?

Someone with a secret that she holds dear

She doesn't want anyone to know

The secret that made her move to this

Humble abode." - 13

What. The. Hell? Somebody know's the real reason I moved? How could anyone know, I moved here last year! The question is, who knows this? And how did they even find out? All I know is that I can't let anyone find out about this. I have to figure out who sent this before they exploit what I've done.
