Not because I didn’t want to finish it, but because the concept of friendship without judgment was alien to me. It’s because of you all that I was able to write and complete the second draft after my first semester at Sac State. You all helped me start my own journey to self-confidence and welcomed my interests without judgment. Thankyou for giving me a home. Readers-I hope you find your home like I found mine.

They’re not looking at you. They’re not-“Um, where do I sit?” I ask, shifting my weight to the side. It’s a lie. They are. I had arrived thirty minutes early for nothing. What ever happened to teachers coming to school early? I’ve never been a new student before and Greensville never had new students. Did teachers actually expect you to stand and introduce yourself? And it’s not like I could just sit down. It’s October, seats are already in place. Taking someone’s spot would be a cardinal sin. Mr. Zhong looks up from his papers he’s just slammed onto his desk and smiles warmly.“Sorry-sorry just running a bit behind today. What’s your name?” “Paige Solano.” I glance nervously at the students slowly piling in, most of them glancing curiously at me. My body feels hot. “Let me see…There it is. I have a seat right there, Ms. Solano.” He points to the back of the classroom next to the door. The tightness around my chest eases. At least I don’t have to worry about being in the front. I make my way to my seat with my head tucked down. I pull out my binder, glancing at the piece of paper tucked into the side. Right. My goals for the year. I’m always making to do lists and goals. It’s supposed to help me focus, but I’m a procrastinator down to my core. PAIGE’S GOALS FOR THE YEAR Make true friends Don’t be afraid to tell your interests-Anime! Fanfiction! Art! Wear nerd shirts for two whole weeks My hand trembles around my pencil. I glance back up at Mr. Zhong. There’s something missing. It’s been in the back of my mind but writing it down just feels odd. Mr. Zhong is in the zone, pointing to the grammar on the screen. I look around making sure that no one’s checking out my paper. Screw it. I said I’d make the best of this move. If I’m being honest, I wasn’t even sad to leave Greensville. I wouldn’t miss the people I hung out with because they weren’t actual friends. We just hung out, so we wouldn’t be by ourselves.
