Tuesday evening we were all sat around the dinner table eating my famous mac 'n' cheese. Which by the way was the only thing I have cooked for the boys since moving here.

Now I had been here for a few weeks, it really was feeling like home. The boys, all 3 of them in fact always made me feel welcome. But school started tomorrow and the nerves were starting to set in.

"So moos, have you got everything ready for tomorrow?" asked Seb shoving a forkful of dinner into his humungous mouth.

"Yes Sebby" I mocked back "I think I'm ready to go. You're taking me right?" I asked Seb

"I'm afraid not sis, something came up at work and I have to be there early. But Noah has offered to take you?" he replied

I looked at Noah, but he was too busy stuffing his face with food.

"It's okay, I will get one of the girls to pick me up" I said, not wanting to intcruot Noah's day

Since he said he wanted to go behind my brothers back, we hadn't spoken, unless it was answering a question about the house or my brothers, and I wasn't sure what to say now.

"No. I said one of us was going to take you on your first day and that's final. After that you can walk, get a lift do whatever you want. Well almost whatever. But not tomorrow" Seb said

"Alright. Well I am pooped." I said sighing "Are you boys alright to clear up?" I put my bowl in the sink and walked round the table to give my brothers a kiss on the cheek, leaving Noah out, though secretly wanting to kiss him too.

"Night Maya Moos" Jace called out

Senior year here I come!

The next day I woke up, half full of nerves and half excited to see my friends and my new school. My new friends had eagerly agreed to meet me outside the school entrance.

Dressing to make an impression on my first day of school, and to deal with the California heat I chose a white ribbed crop top, paired with a baby blue skirt and finished it off with my matching blue converses. I kept my makeup light and natural, knowing my newly tanned Californian skin did a lot for my face.

"Isn't that skirt a little too, you know, umm short?" said Noah when I walked down the stairs

I just glared at him, giving him the middle finger.

"Hey look, your brothers aren't here. I am just saying what they would!" he said

"You are nothing like my brothers" I responded "and you know it" with that I grabbed his car keys off the side and threw that at him. Not wanting to eat breakfast as I was still feeling rather nervous.

"Come on Noah, I don't want to be late" I called behind me, still walking towards the car

I could hear him sigh from behind me "Says the girl who walks down the stairs with 2 minutes to spare" I heard him mutter under his breath

The car ride continued relatively quiet. I am not sure how I felt being in such a confined space with Noah, it felt very intimate.

"You have a nice voice" he said to me out of no where

"Oh umm thanks" I replied, not knowing I must've started singing along to the radio

We pulled up at school and he parked in a space close tot he doors. I could see my friends near by and I waved. So this is what the school looked like. It was a big building. Several big buildings actually. The beach was behind the school, and you could just about see the sea from the car park too.

"Reception is that way" pointed Noah."You need to go and register. get your timetable and all that" Right, he came to this school too. His bad boy reputation is probably still known around here.

I got out the car and my group of friends began walking over. Ella, Grace, Flynn, Joe and Kai were all there. Suddenly I heard the other car door slam shut and Noah walked round the car and over to me.

Grabbing my hand he pulled me into a hug.

"I don't like the way he looks at you" he said. Looking around I could see other students begin to look this way too.

"Him, or anyone?" I smirked releasing him from the hug

He winked as I pulled away "Goodbye princess. Enjoy your first day"

I walked away, towards my friends and Noah drove off.

The girls hugged me immediately and kept their arms around me as we walked in direction of the school.

"Protective much?" Grace laughed in my ear, making reference to Noah and his display back there.

"Yeah yeah. At least he's cute" I responded giggling and the girls walked me into the school

"Senior year BABY!" Shouted Kai from behind us. We all laughed. Senior year. What a hell of a year this could turn in too.

By fifth period I was feeling rather sleepy. Completely not used to the long days of hard work. bring on winter break I thought to myself laughing.

Flynn who was sat next to me leant over whilst the teacher was rambling on "What you thinking about Texas?" he said "Or more who like?" he continued, smiling.

"He is my roommate Flynn. Nothing is going to happen"

"Yeah well I don't like the way he looks at you, like you're a piece of meat"

" Thats funny" I said genuinely snorting "He said something very similar about you"

Flynn stopped talking after that and got back to his work.

The bell finally rang after what felt like a century and I made my way outside to find the girls to get a lift home with them. But as I stepped out the door Noah's car pulled into the parking lot, only this time with all my brothers in tow.

"Maya, hey Maya over here!" called Jace standing on the edge of the car and banging the roof, he definitely knew I had already seen them but decided to embarrass me anyway.

"Maya Moo. We came to pick you up!" exclaimed Seb, walking over to me and putting his arm around my shoulder to lead me towards the car. There was clearly no getting out of this one.

Once again people began to stare. Clearly eyeing up the 3 attractive guys taking the new girl home. I saw Ella and Grace from a far and sent them a 'help me' wave. Noah had got out the car but stayed leaning against the drivers door. His facial expressions a mixture between embarrassed and finding the whole thing hysterical.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you at work?" I asked to no one specifically once I had sat down in the car

"We are all going for ice cream to celebrate!" exclaimed Jace

"I am not 12" I said in response, feeling like a child again.

"Alright then we will just go home and talk about that outfit you decided to wear today" said Seb

"Hang on, I never said I didn't want to go did I?" I said now looking forward to it

"Oh the way to a girls heart is always through food" Spoke Noah for the first time since I was greeted by them. He sent me a subtle wink in the rear view mirror.

"Or a puppy, I'd like a puppy too. Sebby can I have a puppy?" I said

They all rolled their eyes and off we went to get ice cream!
