Carlie POV

My morning classes went without much action. I was made to introduce myself to the class and unfortunately I didn’t have Alex in any of my other morning classes but when the bell rang to signal lunch Alex was stood outside of my class waiting for me.
“Hey Carlie how was the rest of you classes this morning?” Alex asked as I left my class.
“It was ok; thanks. Kind of boring I guess,” I replied.
We walked to the cafeteria and got food, I took one look at the food that they were surviving and decided to just get a sandwich and a drink. As we sat down with our food Jack, Rian and Cassadee joined us.
“So Carlie anything eventful happen in your classes this morning?” Cassadee asked nicely.
I shook my head not answering as my mouth was full of food; luckily Cassadee took my shaking of my head as an answer. Jack and Alex were to busy to notice anything as they were talking about music.
“So you guys play music?” I asked Alex when he finished speaking.
“Yeah, Jack, Rian and I are in a band with a guy from another school called Zack. I play guitar and sing,” Alex replied.
I got really excited when he said that and I replied happily, “O.M.G. that’s like me I sing and I can play guitar. I love to write music its really calming to just sit and play my guitar, I need to get a new one though as I had to leave mine in England.”
“Why did you leave England?” Jack asked again this time I didn’t ignore his question.
“I moved over here to live with my grandparents, my parents died in a fire,” I muttered trying not to get upset.
Jack looked down at his food along with everyone else because they didn’t know what to say.
“Guys it’s fine. I’m just trying to move on it’s hard but I have to do it,” I said after a few seconds of awkwardness.
At that moment a group of girls joined us, they looked like the prissy popular types.
“Hey Alex what you doing hanging out with the new girl?” one of the girls said.
“She’s cool,” Alex replied coldly.
“Well I heard she lives with her grandparents, parents obviously didn’t want her,” the girl sneered at that moment I lost my cool and stood up facing her.
“Do you know what Fuck you! My parents are dead you dumb slut,” I shouted angrily.
I couldn’t hold my anger in and walked away from the table and carried on walking out to the front of the school. I sat down on a bench seething and trying to calm down. After a few minutes Alex walked out and sat down next to me and I burst into tears.

“Do you know what Fuck you! My parents are dead you dumb slut,” Carlie shouted angrily.
Carlie walked away and out of the cafeteria I felt extremely bad for her and got angry.
“Fuck off Bailey. Why do you still think that we want to talk to you? How dare you talk about Carlie like that, she’s cool you’re not so get over yourself,” I shouted and stormed out.
I needed to find Carlie, I found her outside sat on a bench; I sat down next her and she started crying. I pulled her close to me to comfort her not knowing what else to do. I waited till she finished crying before I spoke by saying, “It’s ok ignore Bailey she’s a bitch. She’s jealous because we don’t normally let anyone else hang with us.”
“I’m sorry for crying on you and thanks but, why do you let me hang with you other than you have to for today,” Carlie sniffled.
“Carlie don’t worry even after today you don’t have to worry you will always be able to sit with us. Your cool, you like the same type of music as me; we love the same bands. You play guitar and you sing just like me. I want to be your friend, we all do. Cass, Rian, Jack and I will always be your friends they like you too. So don’t fret. Also I’m sorry about your parents, may I ask how it happened? You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to but just so you know I am here if you want to talk,” I said reassuringly.
“Thanks Alex. You’re being so nice to me I appreciate it. Since my parent’s death people have been extra nice to me; kind of like they are fake but, you were nice to me before you even found out about my family. So were your friends as well so I appreciate it. Thanks for everything today,” Carlie replied.
“Don’t worry about it my friends are your friends now. Do you want to come to band practice with me after school; Cass will be there and the guys obviously. We practice and then cause it’s the first day of school we are going for pizza after. That’s only if you want to though,” I asked Carlie nervous she would say no.
“I’d love to. I better ask my grandparents though first,” she replied, she took her phone out and a few minutes later put it away and said, “they said it’s ok as long as I am back by 11 because it’s a school night.”
“Don’t worry I’ll make sure you get back on time. You get to meet Zack’s girlfriend Taylor and Jack’s boyfriend Vic as well tonight. You will like both of them,” I said smiling.
“Awesome,” Carlie replied nervously.
I knew I had only knew Carlie for a short while but I knew this was a girl I wanted to protect and maybe hopefully we could be more than friends.
The bell rang to signal the end of lunch and we both stood up and headed inside. I had a huge smile on my face due to Carlie saying she would hang out with the guys and I after school.
