Dear Diary
Today was my first day at a new school. I'm no stranger to being the new girl of course, but still, it can be unnerving. It started off like all the other schools, I was able to establish the different groups immediately. I made a note not to fall back into the same routine by sticking with the geography nerds. This year would be different, isolation seemed to be a good way to go, you don't get attached to anyone, which makes the goodbyes a lot easier. The library seemed like the perfect place, no one talks in there and if they do its mainly small talk, nothing that can lead to any kind of friendship. This would allow me to focus on my studies, not that I need the extra work.
Of course, like all my plans, they don't seem to work. I was immediately addressed by a boy that seemed to want to know everything about me. My attempts to shake him off failed completely, the boy clearly didn't seem to get the message. I think his name is William, he is an odd little thing, but nice enough, though I cant help but get the feeling he is slightly un-hinged. But the introductions didn't end there, I had clearly stumbled into the "popular" group in school, most of their parents must be filthy rich, hence giving them the hierarchy. Bennett was the man in charge, a classic bully with a foul mouth, but that's expected when your "daddy" can pay for any legal issues. He has a girlfriend, she's a cute little thing, clearly smitten with the rich twat, defending him over anything and everything he does wrong to others. Then there's Tristian, the preppy lad, that's far more confident than I would have expected from his skinny body. He's gay and he doesn't seem to be shy about that, which I admire.
Then we have Nicholas. Oh my lord alive, what a man. He's utterly gorgeous but not in the obvious Brad Pitt kind of way. He has these strange quirky features about him that always catch my eye. I know he likes me, his hints are about as subtle as a grenade, but I don't mind. If I'm honest, I feel the exact same. We spent the whole day acting like 8 year olds, giggling every time we caught each other staring. He made a comment about my favourite band "The white stripes" trying to impress me. I believed he liked them too until William revealed his white lie, I would usually get annoyed over petty lies like that, but I couldnt help but laugh at his effort to connect. He's clearly rich seeming as he prances around in extremely expensive brands, not that his wealth phases me, but I have to admit, its an added bonus.
Chadwick was the last person I met. He seems lovely, and extremely intelligent. It's obvious he got into the private school through his grades, rather than an unlimited supply of cash like the others. Unfortunately he seems to be the runt of the group, constantly bullied and picked on by Bennett, but he doesn't seem too disheartened by it, perhaps he's grown immune to the negative attention. They are an odd bunch, and I wouldn't have put them together as a friendship group, but we are who we are, and although I intended to spent the year alone, I guess a bit of company never hurt anyone. Anyway, I should get back to my studies. Until next time...
