Sarah Haven

Your parents are hosting an exchange student. Her name was Sarah Haven, she was from Oxford, England, and the same age as you.

She arrived a week before school started to get settled in. You made sure to be extra inviting as your parents said to. But you noticed pretty quick.. she was sorta rude. Though, it doesn’t seem intentional. She’s just blatant and sarcastic. Something your more family wasn’t used to.

But your parents persevered so you did as well. She acts rather delinquent and dresses like you’ve never seen in your small town. you thought it was cool, But it did make you feel silly for wearing boring things. Especially the first night when Sarah saw you in your nightgown. “Cute” she called the gown, but patronizingly.

The days went on and you got used to one another. Sarah started being less rude and you adjusted to her humor. You’ve realized she’s not bad at all, just still a bit.. honest.

Unsurprisingly, Sarah hated that your school had uniforms. She added some of her punk band pins to her skirt and blazer. You thought it was like something out of a movie, cool but unnecessary. You didn’t know what was so bad about conforming for a few hours. Sarah refused though.

When you walked into school together there were eyes on her. She was tall, gorgeous, new, and disobeying the dress code, of course people stared. You two were in separate classes so didn’t see each other much.

when school ended you looked for her. you heard talking in the bathroom and paused outside it. It was some girls bullying Sarah. Then you heard a yelp so you opened the door. Sarah had one of a girls shirt collar in her grip, her hand in the air, about to slap her. When Sarah saw you she dropped the girl and stormed out the bathroom, shoving your shoulder as she did so.
