Chapter 1

It was Curtis' first day at his new school he has just moved from the US as his mother had got a new job. Curtis has always hated moving as it meant he had to make new friends. However, Curtis thought this would be good as it meant he could change how he was and be a different person. So Curtis had left the unpacking to his parents and went to school.

When Curtis had got to the school all he could think was "wow this is a big school..." Curtis had went to his home room to introduce himself to the class but he was shy and didn't know what to say so he didn't say anything and let the teacher introduce him so the class only knows his name. After the end of the class Rumi had went up to Curtis to introduce herself but she could see a group of buys had already went to him so she couldn't see Curtis. Rumi is then crowded by a group of girls who keep asking her "why does she want to see the new boy?" and constantly saying that he is just a creep and a loner. All Rumi could think was that she should help Curtis as she realizes that the group that is making fun of Curtis is Adams group.

After an hour a teacher shows up saying that the class is cancelled and the students do any work that they have with this Adam and his group go back to their seats and leave Curtis alone. Curtis being new to the school realizes that he has no work and asks if he could have some. with this the teacher leaves to get some work for Curtis. With the class now focused on the work Rumi thought it would be a good idea to go and talk to Curtis.

"Hi I'm Rumi and I'm the class rep here" Rumi had said quietly

"Hi I'm Curtis nice to meet you to" Curtis had said nervously

"Sorry for the group of boys earlier they aren't the type that accept new people and they also hate school and work so if i was you i would just ignore them" explained Rumi.

"No it is fine i am kinda use to it by now as i am not the type of person people tend to talk to. i just hope this doesn't get you into trouble if you keep talking to me" said Curtis

After class it was the first lunch break and Curtis was confused on where he would go and who he would talk to. This is when he had seen Rumi sitting on her own having her own lunch Curtis had decided to sit and talk to Rumi

"Is it ok if I sit here" asked Curtis

"Sure" answered Rumi with a smile on her face

There was a silence between them at first but Rumi had broke it.

"So have you decided to join any clubs or groups yet" Rumi asked

"No I haven't seen many groups that I like do you recommend any" Curtis said hoping for an answer he liked

"No I don't sorry but if you have any ideas for any class challenges or school events please say and I can try to hold them" Rumi said with a big smile.

The lunch break had ended that Curtis had thought was a lifetime they both handed to their class. With the conversation Curtis and Rumi just had Curtis had a lot to think about like what club he should join and ideas to give for any class or school events. In class was boring and Curtis could only think about the lunch he just had with Rumi.

It was the end of Curtis' first day and he leaves with all types of different emotions. He went home and his parents had finished with the unpacking but had left his stuff in his new room so he can sort it all out himself. While Curtis unpacking his stuff his mother had called him so she could ask about is day.

"So how was your first day today Curtis" asked his mother.

"It was ok I had meet so many different people and the classes seem to be pretty simple so far" said Curtis trying to not show anything that might have his mother suspect anything about the bullies.

"That's good I'm glad your making lots of friends and they aren't fake"said his mother playfully.
