First day of school.

Kindergarten seems okay so far. Probably because no one has talked to me and I'm sitting alone.

This morning Daddy woke me up, telling it was time for school. When I was all dressed I went down stairs to the kitchen, my nose leading me through the halls. And there stood Mommy, over a stove flipping pancake and bacon.

It was all good till they both got in the car with me then dropped me off at school.

Mommy cried. I don't know why. But she got emotional. If anything I should be emotional. School sucks.

Coming in the middle of the school year is hard. Everyone already has their friends. And I don't.

Mommy and Daddy said everyone will be nice to me and I'd make good friends. But so far, no one is even noticing I exist.

And now it's been awhile into the day, and the other students are now looking at me funny. I heard some talk about how I dress like a boy. And my hair is all knotted.

I don't dress like a boy. I just wore my new blue shirt and a pair of shorts. I didn't pick out this outfit. Katherine did, and Mommy said it made my eyes stand out.

And my hair is just naturally curly and looks messy. I can't help it. When I come out of the shower it's just like this.

I feel like an outcast. Like the weird kid again.

At the park I was the weird kid. And my old school I was the weird kid. And now here I am, the weird kid. Am I really that much of a freak?

But this all changed when a boy in my class walked up to me, sitting next to me.

"Hi, I'm Gavin. What's your name?"

"I'm Mia. I'm new here," I inform him. He must not know I'm new here. Because he seems to be acting calm and casual. Like if he doesn't know that I'm the new weird girl.

"So?" He raises a brow.

And now this shocks me. How could he just say that. Like if it's nothing important.

"But I'm the weird girl," I bluntly say. Even though my own words hurt me, it's the truth.

He laughs, "No you're not. The girls here are just jealous about how pretty you are. And the boys are too shy to come up to a pretty girl like yourself."

This makes me blush. Could people really be like this?

"How do you know?"

Then he blushes and looks away from me, "Because I was the same."

"What do you mean?" I raise a brow.

He scratches the back of his neck awkwardly, "Well I think you're pretty."

"Thank you," I begin to pick at my shirt, avoiding eye contact.

I've never been told I was pretty by a boy. Ms. Cherry would call me nice things, but she's a girl. Gavin is a boy.

That's when I feel it.

The warmth of Gavin's hand wrapped around mine.

It's something foreign to me, something I've never experienced. His palms are soft and have little rough patches. They're larger than mine. Gavin's hands surround mine, and my heart flutters with my new found crush.
