Their navy blue backpack slumped on their back, heavy with books. Rowan walked down the crowded hall, weaving through groups of students like a corn maze. Upon reaching their destination, they stretched their arms once more and walked into classroom B3. It was filled with groups of kids their age talking and laughing together. Rowan walked to a group of desks with a few kids gathered around it, chattering about their weekend. One of the girls, a short and petite girl wearing a dull pink sweater and white and grey plaid button up dress, turned her head to look at Rowan. "Rowan!" She yelped with delight, bouncing to their side happily, "There you are!" Another of the kids, a tan boy with green jeans and a cream old navy T-shirt named Alex, waved. "Took you long enough. Stephanie, stop hoppin' around like a rabbit and take your turn already." "Coming!" Stephanie trotted to the table again, picking up a hand of cards and placing one down. "What'ca playing there?" Rowan asked, setting their backpack down at a desk nearby. "Uno, wanna play? We can deal you in." Alex replied, placing a card on top of Stephanie's. "Nah man, I'm good for now." Rowan adjusted their shirt, sitting down to watch. ________ Time Skip "DING! DING! DING!" The bell chimed, signaling for students to rush to class or face detention "D@mmnit." Rowan grumbled, returning to their seat. "Language." Alex mocked, slouching in his seat on Rowan's right. Mr. Taylor walked in with a student trailing behind him. "Alright, listen up, we have a new student or whatever you wanna call em'. Introduce yourself and be quick about it. "Oh! Okay then! I'm Celeste but you all can call me Cel!" The girl was wearing a mix of greens and browns, green jeans, light brown shirt, dark green headband, brown backpack, etc. She had dark blonde hair, or as some would call it 'dirty blonde'. She had a single streak of red dyed hair on the left side of her head, contrasting her natural tone outfit. "Is it just me or is she pretty cute?" Rowan leaned to his right, whispering to Alex. "Hah! Well if you really think so then you better grab er' by the looks of it, she'll be taken within the next month or so." Alex laughed, whispering back. "That is the most true thing I've heard all day." "I know, right?" Alex laughed again. "Cel, you can sit next to Danny in the second row." Mr. Taylor interrupted.
