*Jessie's POV*

Jessie Gonzalez was bored. She was bored of school and the way everyone just seemed to conform. Even the nerds conformed to the stereotypes imposed on them. Sure she was thirteen and probably being very pretentious but Jessie didn't care. She wanted adventure and fun and weirdness. She wished her friends from elementary school had stayed their weird, bug loving selves.

Jessie sighed and put her head down on her desk. It was going to be a long day.

When Jessie opened her locker a wave of smelly tuna assaulted her nostrils. "Ew, what the hell?"

Jessie perused through her locker until she found the culprit, the tuna sandwich her mom had packed her for lunch like two weeks ago. Jessie couldn't believe she'd forgotten it. She looked around the hall for a trash can. She saw one all the way near Lance Cavill then briefly debated keeping the smelly tuna in her locker. The bell rang so the decision was made for her, she threw the tuna back in her locker and headed to her English class.

She walked in and like always the seats in the back were taken. The only empty seats in the room were the ones around Edward. The smelliest,sneeziest, grossest guy in all of ninth grade. Jessie smiled meekly at Edward before sitting down in the empty seat next to him in the front row.

Her teacher Mrs. Wu walked in with a young girl trailing close behind her. The girl looked terrified; Jessie assumed she was new.

Mrs. Wu turned to the class and placed a hand on the girl's shoulder. "Class this is Kara Danvers, she's new to school here."

"Clearly, look at that outfit." Jessie heard Rebecca Rivers whisper to her friend Alba. Jessie rolled her eyes even though Rebecca couldn't see her.

Jessie gave Kara the once over and didn't think her outfit was bad. Sure she was wearing flare jeans and some horrid sweater vest over a pink button down but she wasn't ugly. Jessie thought Kara looked kinda cute in her outfit, it worked for her.

"Remember how scary your first day of high school was so please do your best to help Kara out. Let's all give Kara a warm Midvale High welcome!" The class gave a half-hearted clap then Mrs. Wu instructed Kara to pick a seat.

Kara scanned the room and briefly caught Jessie's eye. Next thing Jessie knew Kara was sliding into the seat next to her. Mrs. Wu then turned her back to the class and began the lesson. Jessie could feel Kara's eyes on her during class. Kara would stare very intently at Jessie's notebook as if analyzing her handwriting. Jessie did wish for weirdness in her last class and Kara Danvers was at least very strange so in some way the universe did grant her wish.

After class Jessie went straight to her locker, she had to get that dang tuna sandwich out, her locker was already going to reek for days.

This time before she opened her locker she went over to grab the trash can. Thankfully Lance was not at his locker. She really wasn't in the mood to hear Lance call her names or talk about the way she looked today.

Sadly for Jessie the trash can was full and was a lot heavier than it looked. Jessie sighed. "It'd be nice if one thing went right today," she whispered to herself.

"Can I help?"

Jessie spun around. Kara was standing right in front of her, smiling from ear to ear. Jessie wondered if Kara had followed her. She realized she was staring at Kara so she took a step back and cleared her throat.

"Sure, I need to get this trash can over by my locker but it's a lot heavier than it looks."

Kara nodded then reached out for the trash can. Kara picked it up easily and looked to Jessie. "Where's is it?"

Jessie, shocked at the fact that a girl skinnier and smaller than she could pick up the trash can like it was a napkin, only pointed to the row of lockers at the other end of the hall. Kara walked towards them and set down the trash can. Jessie followed and thanked Kara.

"It's no problem. Could you help me find the cafeteria? I'm supposed to meet Alex there."

Jessie nodded. "Sure let me just take care of something first." She turned to her locker, opened it and tossed the tuna away. Jessie then closed the locker and smiled at Kara. "Let's go."

Kara stared at the trash can. "What did you throw away?"

"It was week old tuna." Jessie felt her cheeks go red. "It's gross I know I just forgot about it."

Kara furrowed her brows, confused. "Tuna? What is that?"

Jessie was taken aback. "The food? Well it's just canned tuna fish mixed with mayo, lettuce, tomato, corn, and avocado."

Kara looked even more confused. "Mayo?"

Jessie slightly tilted her head to the side, unsure if Kara was messing with her. "Yeah, like mayonnaise."

Kara was about to ask Jessie another question but they were interrupted by someone running towards them. "Kara I told you to go find me in the cafeteria," the girl said trying to catch her breath.

Jessie didn't recognize her but assumed it was the Alex Kara was supposed to go see. Kara turned to the girl, an apologetic look on her face.

"I'm sorry Alex, I just got a bit distracted helping someone." Kara then turned back to Jessie. "I'm sorry but what is your name?"

"Jessie, Jessie Gonzalez."

Kara smiled. "That's a pretty name."

Jessie felt her stomach flutter. She smiled back at Kara. "Thank you."

Alex looked between the two girls then grabbed Kara's hand. "Whatever come on. If you get lost or do something stupid Mom and Dad are going to get mad at me."

Alex dragged Kara away but Kara turned back to Jessie and waved. "Bye Jessie, I'll see you in class."

Jessie waved back. "Yeah, see you."

When they were gone Jessie turned to look at the tuna sandwich in the trash can. Then she looked back up. Jessie decided that Kara Danvers was very weird which lead to Jessie deciding that Kara Danvers was going to be her new best friend.
