Chapter One: Foreign Exchange Students.
I walked out of the cafeteria line with my breakfast in hand and sat down two tables away from the left wall. My good friend, Whitney, was already there. She was finishing her math homework because she usually doesn't do it at home.
"Ugh. I hate Algebra II. Always makes me so cunfuzzled." Whitney is a brunette girl with forest green eyes, and has a very motherly-like personality. Today she was wearing a flowery shirt with jeans, with a cute little flower hair pin.
"Why didn't you do it at home?" I asked as I sat down and began eating my poor excuse of a breakfast. Chicken. Again.
"Because I didn't want to. I have so many other things to do everyday, so math is the last thing on my mind!" She exclaimed as Cassi, another close friends of ours, sat down looking all spaced out.
"'Sup dudes." Cassi mumbled as she started opening her orange juice.
"Nothing really. Whitney forgot to do her math again." I said as I gestured to Whitney, who was staring intently at her calculator.
We fell silent for a while to let Whitney concentrate on her work. After Cassi and I finished our lame chicken breakfast, Whitney was about finished. We sat there and stared off into space for a minute. That's when we all heard what was going on.
"…of the new kid."
"I know, right! I caught a glimpse of one of them. He was so good looking I thought I was going to faint right then and there."
"Apparently, they're all guys! I wonder how many are there in total…" and at this new piece of information, I simply stared all confused-like at Whitney and Cassi.
"What's all this about new students?" I asked. A little hurt that I seemed to be the last to know, since neither of them looked confused at the least.
"Well, yeah. We had a long and boring assembly on the new kids last week." Cassi explained.
"Was that the one last Thursday?" I asked, still slightly shocked that there hasn't been much talking about the subject until the last minute.
"Yeah. The one that lasted the whole first and second period." Replied Whitney, who didn't really seem interested in the topic, but then again, she WAS staring at her calculator…
"THAT'S what that was? I'm sorry, I was so drowsy that day I probably fell asleep." I replied, a little worried if anyone saw such a humiliating scene.
"It's okay. Nobody really paid attention. Everyone was too busy fighting sleep to do so anyway. That's what they get for bringing us back from break on a Thursday." Whitney continued, fiddling with the calculator some more.
"Is that why you're so spaced out Cassi? Is your sleep schedule still off?" I questioned.
"Yeah. And school doesn't really help it. Dang you school!" she exclaimed as she waved her fist in the air as a joke.
"So what do you think the new foreigners will be like? Aren't they all from different countries or something?" I asked, obviously interested in anything new that happens in this old, tiny town.
"Yeah, so I guess they would act like the country they were from, right?" Whitney said. "It would be nice if we can get a change to talk to them at the least." she explained with a smile.
"We probably will, considering how small this school is. And no matter what, we get to see them. The principal is making us go to an assembly about them before they start going around the school. Probably to introduce them. We've never had so many students transfer in at one time before. And to top it all off, they're all from different countries!" Cassi rushed out as she probably thought about meeting a foreigner from China or Japan.
"Well. I can tell this semester is going to be VERY interesting." I said as the bell finally rang and students started pouring out of the cafeteria and into the hallway. We stayed behind to get our stuff packed up, as usual. I don't like to be early to class. Especially when you don't know anyone in it.
Just then a short boy in glasses, probably a freshman, came running up to all three of us and asked us what our names are.
"Okay. Good. You're needed in the Counselors office immediately. Mrs. Butterscotch said it was urgent." Whitney, Cassi and I just looked at each other. What would Mrs. Butterscotch want with us?
We were walking towards the counselors office when we noticed it gets more crowded the closer we got to it. I bumped into two people, and Cassi (with her ninja skills) managed to evade all of them. Whitney was a few steps behind, bumping into mostly everyone due to her clumsiness.
"E-excuse me! Please m-move aside!" Whitney stammered as she was being slightly pushed by the people she was trying to pass.
"OUTTA THE WAY!" yelled Cassi as she grabbed Whitney's arm and pulled her along.
"Safe!" I exclaimed as all three of us made it in the counselors room, where there seemed to be no crowd at all. There was a slight murmur of voices in the room two doors down, but other than that it was dead quiet.
"Hello?" I asked hesitantly as I looked down the short hallway in the counselor's room. And sure enough, the murmur quieted and Mrs. Butterscotch popped her head out of her room and smiled sweetly at the three of us.
"Ah, yes. I've been waiting for you three to show up. It seems I'll be needing your assistance today due to lack of staff." She explained as she motioned us towards her room. We all headed towards her room and were opening the door when all of us laid our eyes on what was in it.
A room full of incredibly handsome guys.
"Whaaat…" Whitney said, dazzled.
"The…" I mumbled, unable to comprehend.
"FLIP!" Cassi shrieked, bringing Whitney and I back to Earth.
