I have successfully got a new job, rented a small one bedroom apartment, stocked it with food, and enrolled myself in school in the span of a month. Im sleeping on an air mattress and my living room is full of folding chairs but it's comfy enough until I save up the money to actually furnish my home properly. The apartment already has the essential household appliances such as a washer, dryer, stove, microwave, and fridge.

The first day of my new school is tomorrow. I will be attending Scranton High School. I've always stayed in the same school district, never once changing a school so this was scary for me since I only have two years of school left.

My job isn't anything to spectacular. I'm just a cashier at the local Donut Shop. It gets pretty busy on most days. Being that the donuts are handmade every morning and they are always hot makes us the most loved place in town. Our coffee is pretty great to.

I was beyond nervous, beads of sweat pooling at my hairline and above my upper lip. I just climbed off the bus that had driven me here and stood right outside of the main office staring into the herd of rushing students that filled the hallways.

I looked down to the mass of paper work and books in my hands and sighed. I searched for the paper with my locker information on it, finding it in record time and started my decent down the wretched hallways full of sweaty bodies and screaming girls. I felt like I was in a mosh pit the way I ws being shoved around by jocks with their bulky stature and giant oversided lettermen jacket. Im sure I would have at least two bruise before I found the metal bin that would hold my things for the year.

I ran my hand across my lip, hoping to rid myself of the sweat that wouldn't go away as I found my locker. A huddle of both boys and girls were surrounding it. I felt bad for needing to interrupt there conversation. I tapped the closest boys shoulder, holding my breath in hopes of him not ripping my head off for interupting something important.

Thankfully, he didn't. He actually smiled as he looked down at me. "Can I help you?" He asked kindly, still holding that same goofy smirk. He was a pretty nice looking guy. He was.... different. I liked that. He had shoulder length black hair, plugs in his ears, angel bites, and the most beautiful silver blue eyes that I had ever seen.

"You guys are in front on my locker." I said shyly.

"Oh. Im sorry. I'll get them to move for you." He replies. He turned around in his group of friends and told them to move for me like he had promised. They didn't move very far, just to the opposite wall of the hallway.

The boy from before reapeared by my side as I was just piling the last of my things into my locker. "I like your hoodie by the way." He commented, making me look down so I could see what he was talking about.

I was wearing my black Misfits hoodie that read, 'Die! Die My Darling!' across the front of it in red. I smiled down at it and up back at him before replying, "The Misfits are great." Earning a nod from the boy beside me.

"I'm Josh. Everyone calls me Balz though." He grinned, offering his hand to me.

"Why?" I questioned, trying my hardest to stifle a laugh while shaking his hand. I failed epically at that.

"It's my last name. I guess people just thought it was funny and decided to call me that. It doesn't bother me though." He smiled.

"Im gonna call you Josh if that's ok with you." I stated, earning a nod in return.

"I don't care. I never got your name though." He added.


"Im Tarra. Tarra Baldwin."

"You must be new here. I've never seen you around here before." He noted.

"I am. I moved here last month." I explained before shutting my locker after I had forgotten about it.

"It's settled!" He screams and grabs my hand, leading me to the group of people he was once a part of. "You're meeting my friends and then we're gonna be BFF's." He says proudly.

I rolled my eyes at his antics before he stopped and looke dead at everyone in the group. "Everyone, this is Tarra, my new best friend. Tarra, this is everyone."

"Because 'everyone' just sums it all up." One said, shaking her head in disbelief with a smile on her face. "Im Ally."

"Im Ryan! Her boyfriend and Balz's secret lover." He explains proudly, making a blush form on Josh's cheeks from the out burst.

"Im Chris and this is Cailyn, my girlfriend." He says as he wraps an arm around her waist and pulls her closer to him.

"Im Ricky and this little ball of fun is Opal, my girlfriend." He ruffles her hair as he speaks, making a pout form on her face and a slap on Ricky's arm.

"Im Mary and this is my boyfriend Devin. Everyone calls me Mar."

"Im Angelo and this is my girlfriend Rosie."

"It's nice to meet you guys." I smile, waving to all of them.

"Hey Tarra, while we still have time do you want me to show you around to your classes?" Josh asked me, earning a nod from me. I handed him my scedule and his face lit up after he had read through it.

"We have every class together but third block." He grinned.

"Hopefully I'll know someone in there." I shrugged.

"Lets grt going. We still have about five minutes." He says and throws his arm around my shoulders and guides me to all of my classes.

We talked the whole time, getting to know one another. I liked spending time with this boy. It helped me get my mind off the bad that had recently happened. I like Josh
