ہولی and Jayce were starting high school. The two دوستوں walked to school together. It was in the opposite direction of their middle school, but the high school was still walking distance. As they walked there, ہولی asked, "Do آپ think our دوستوں will be there?" Jayce said, "Yeah, I think so." When they arrived on campus, they didn't see any of their دوستوں there. Jayce said, "Maybe they're running a bit late." As the two of them talked, a boy they did not know approached them. He appeared to be a little older than they were. He seemed friendly, so they did not feel any apprehension. He said, "Hi. My name's Jonathan, Jon for short. What are your names?" Jayce said, "I'm Jayce." ہولی said, "And I'm her friend, Holly." Jon smiled and said, "It's nice to meet you. Are آپ two just starting out?" Jayce said, "Yes, this is our first سال of high school." He said, "I see. This is my سیکنڈ year." After the گھنٹی, بیل rang, he showed ہولی and Jayce to their classrooms. After ہولی finished her first class, she tripped and fell. "Are آپ okay?" a voice asked. ہولی said, "I think so." Someone helped her up. She said, "Thanks." The girl who helped her up said, "You're welcome." The girl then noticed Holly's necklace. ہولی owned other necklaces besides her asexual pride necklace. The one she was wearing on her first دن of high school had her birthstone for the gem, peridot. The girl said, "That's a pretty necklace." ہولی said, "Thanks. It's my birthstone." The girl said, "Really?! We have the same birthstone!" ہولی said, "That's cool." Just then a voice said, "Come on, Daisy! What's the hold up for?" The girl said, "I better go, but it was nice meeting you, um, I didn't get your name." ہولی said, "My name's Holly." گلبہار, گل داؤدی said, "Well, Holly, I guess I'll see آپ later." ہولی said, "All right, Daisy." Later, when it was time for lunch, ہولی and Jayce followed Jon to the lunch room. He sat with them, since he had lunch at that time, too. Jayce noticed ہولی looking cheerful. Jayce said, "It looks like you're having a really good day, Holly." ہولی said, "I am. I got a compliment on my necklace." Jon asked, "Who gave آپ the compliment?" ہولی said, "I think her name was Daisy." He made a face palm and said, "Oh, no! Not Daisy! She can't be trusted, no matter how friendly she seems!" ہولی said, "She seemed all right to me." Jon said, "She bullied me from kindergarten through the eighth grade. It was only last سال she started acting so friendly." Jayce said, "Come on, Jon. Give her a chance. Maybe she's changed." He said, "People don't change." ہولی said, "People change, Jon. Trust me." He said, "All right, I'll hold آپ to that." When he saw Daisy, he invited her to sit with them, even though he was apprehensive about her. She didn't دکھائیں any signs of being a bully. Nevertheless, گلبہار, گل داؤدی was a crafty liar. Only the most prophetic could see through her lies. She was a sociopath, outwardly charming, lacking empathy, and very manipulative. ہولی and Jayce were blissfully unaware that their "friend" was manipulating them in order to start a rumor.
