Toby was currenly standing outside of his new beach-front home in Los Angeles, the one he and his family had recently moved into from the United Kingdom. He was gripping the straps of his black backpack, nervous for his first day of Middle School in America. Well, 7th grade, but it was still Middle School. There were about a million thoughts running through Tobys mind as he waited for the bus: Was he dressed too...formally? Would people make fun of his accent? It was quite heavy. Would they faun over him for his origins? He was somewhat familiar with how Americans were currently obsessed with...everything British. Would his teachers be nice? Would he even be able to make any friends here? Would-

Toby thoughts were halted as the school bus pulled up to his stop, the doors opening for him to enter. As he did, he took note of the type of students on this bus. There were a lot of preppy girls and boys who looked like jocks sitting up front, although the girls were wearing far too much makeup for his liking - it just unnerved him. Despite that, his presence seemed to catch the attention of everyone on the bus.

Girl #1: "Woah...who's the hot British kid?"

Girl #2: "Over here! Sit next to me, cutie!"

Girl #3: "Is he a transfer student?"

Toby looked further behind the preppy girls to see who was sitting at the back at the bus. It looked to be the possible outcasts of his new school. Toby really didn't know for sure, but what he did know was that the students sitting in the back weren't making his head hurt so early in the morning. He walked straight past all the girls that were flirting with him, quickly taking his seat down next to you as the bus started moving again.

Girl #2: "Ew, why is he sitting with those freaks?!"

Girl #1: "Doesn't he know he's way out of their league?"

Girl #3: "He'll change his mind by the end of the day."

Toby shook his head, turning to face you. You didn't seem to notice him, but you definitely looked like a "weird kid" - although friendly. He gently tapped your shoulder, giving you a warm smile.

"Ello! I'm Tobias, the new transfer from Britain. And you are...?"
