"Gangsters?"

I opened the door and saw..

A person who tried to lean on the door but fell on me.

"Gyah!"

We both fell on the floor.

'It's the first day of school and I already keep falling. So embarrassing!', so I say, my back resting on the floor.

A woman with a somewhat boy-ish tone, I hear.

"A-Ah! I'm so sorry!" She said.

"It's okay." I replied, to which I try to stand back up.

"Hannah, are you okay?" Sam asked.

"Yeah I'm fine." I said.

"That's good. Jade, be careful next time. You might hurt another new student." She chuckled.

"Oh, she's a new student? No wonder why she looks quite.. unfamiliar", says Jade.

'So her name is Jade..' I thought to myself, cleaning the dust off my skirt.

"Hey, nice to meet ya. The names Jade." She said.

"I-I'm Hannah."

"Let's get in class now." Sam said.

"Sure."

We three were going inside class. I was having a hard time looking for a seat. So, Sam had to help me.

"Thanks."

"Anytime." She said.

As I sat, I became really nervous.

The teacher came in the class.

"Hello everyone! I'm your class advisor. My name is Mrs. Helen Smith. Now that you know me, let's start knowing each other starting with Theo."

After the 20th person, it was my turn.

"H-hi! M-my n-name is H-Hannah T-Tyler. I am s-sixteen y-years old. I l-love to read b-books. I hope w-we could a-all be f-friends!" I stuttered with nervousness.

'Argh! I did it again! I'm so stupid!' I thought to myself.

"Gee, why stutter? We don't bite!" Sam giggled.

"Sh-shut up!" I said then sat down.

"Heh." Jade giggled.

After class, the three of us went to the cafeteria.

"Can't wait for food!" Jade said.

"Haha, same." I and Sam said.

"By the way, Hannah. You stutter a lot. Don't be so nervous. We really don't bite." Jade said.

"Yeah, you do stutter a lot." said Sam.

"Heh. Maybe it became my hobby? I don't know.. I usually do it when I don't really know the people in front of me."

"Sad. C'mon! I don't wanna be late for my favorite subject!" Sam said.

"And what is that?" I asked.

Both, Jade and Sam said, "Lunch! Wait. Stop copying me! You keep doing this like the past school year!- Argh forget it."

Then the three of us laughed.

After getting our lunches, we sat. Then we ate.

While we were eating, another person sat beside me.

"Uhm, excuse me? Don't be rude." Sam said.

"Haha, I'm sorry for my rudeness. I couldn't find a seat then I saw a beautiful girl seating with two dumb people." He teased them.

"Idiot, who ya calling dumb?!" Jade got mad.

"Isn't it obvious? You and-"

Sam punched him on the head.

"Ow! Fine. I'm sorry." He said.

"Are you and Jade siblings?" I asked him.

"Yeah. By the way, my name is Jake." He replied.

"Be careful, his flirty jokes aren't real." Jade whispered to me.

"You know I can hear that, idiot!" Jake shouted.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down. No need to shout." Sam said.

"Hmph!" Both, Jade and Jake said.

"C'mon guys, let's just eat." I said.

The four of us continued to eat.

When we were done, we were on our way to the classroom.

While we were walking, we saw a person bullying someone.

"Idiot! You don't belong to this world!"

"Hey! Stop saying to people! Or else I will report you." I said

"So what? My father is the principal, newbie!"

We laughed.

"Father? The principal isn't even male! You should stop lying. No one would believe your lies." Sam said.

"B-"

"Just stop what you're doing right now and get your face away from us." Jade said.

"We won't only report you, we'd also make you take what you get for bullying. And that's that." Jake said furiously.

She gasped and said "I-It's Sam, Jade and Jake! I b-better run!" Then she ran away.

I got confused on what she said. I was thinking about it all day. Why was she afraid of them? Are they some kind of gangsters?

"You okay?" Sam asked.

"H-huh? Yeah, I'm fine." I said.

"You've been spacing out lately. What's on your mind?" Sam asked.

"Oh uh. It's nothing."

"Okay then.."
