This story is about Laney. She is new at Peaceville High. Corey doesn't know why but he really likes her. He immediately befriends her, not knowing she can play the bass.
Corey's POV
A few days ago our homeroom teacher, Ms. Breslow announced something very important. Or at least what she thought was important.
"Boys and girls! May I have your attention please?" she shouted across the room. Our teacher is very loud. "Okay just want to let you know, we will be having a new student coming in a few days. I want you all to give her a warm welcome. I don't want her feeling bullied."
Today was the day.
This morning came in with our new student. The student looked really shy and she had red long hair and a green and black striped dress. She also wore a yellow hair clip. That was a good look on her. Urm um never mind that last sentence.
Ms. Breslow made her stand in front of the class and tell us about herself. She didn't look to comfortable. I felt her pain. When I was a new student in 5th grade my teacher Mr. Moren made me do the same.
"Umm my name is Laney Penn, I'm 15 and I'm going to be 16 this February. Umm was born and raised in a small town, sort of. I like ice cream. Um erm umm and that's it. I guess." she stuttered.
"Ok let me see I'm going to haveā¦." Ms. Breslow started. Uh-oh. She's going to pick someone to show her around. Man what do I do? I'm just going to pretend to drop my pencil and pick it up. Yeah!
"Oh! How about my best student, Corey Riffin! Show her around the school don't rush but don't take your time!" Too late. I stood up and walked to the front of the room. So the new girl, Laney and I walked out the classroom. I held out my hand to her. "I'm Corey."
"I guessed that. I'm Laney." she giggled.
"I kinda guessed that, too." I chuckled nervously.
"Yeah, we introduced ourselves are you going to show me around or what?" she joked.
I smirked. "Are you going to shake my hand or what?" I asked.
She shook my hand. "Happy? Now let's go." she said, rolling her eyes.
So we started walking, and as we walked we started a conversation. "So have you ever been to school, Laney?" I asked.
"Of course I've gone to school before!" she exclaimed.
"Then you should really know a bunch of these stuff then. Like over here, these are the bathrooms. It's really simple you choose which one to go in and-" I started.
"I know I won't walk into the wrong one." she interrupted me.
"Hey no interruptions. I'm your guide. Save all questions for the end of the tour." I joked. She huffed and rolled her eyes. "Just kidding. Anyways, wanna sit next to me at lunch? My friends will be there, and you are going to love the twins." I told her. She raised an eyebrow.
"I don't like you. How do you know I will LOVE the twins?"
"You know Laney, you're not really a shy girl." I said. She blushed.
"Anyways just sit next to me. That's if you want to eat your lunch in the bathroom then you don't have to." I said. Hey, I was just being truthful. Nobody is going to give her a "warm welcome" here. Sure someone will try to be nice to her. Only to try to get in her pants.
She was quiet for a second. I hope it wasn't something I said. " Ms. Breadtoe said you guys would give me a 'warm welcome' that doesn't seem warm at all." she said. I chuckled.
"It's Breslow, and don't worry Kon will give you the biggest bear hug ever. But he's more like a teddy bear so he won't bite." I assured her. But I had to agree with her. "Peaceville" doesn't even live up to it's name.
"Peaceville my ass." I heard her mumble under her breath.
So I showed her around. I made sure to show her every square inch of the school. She was quiet the whole time and so was I. We got things done quicker and she had no questions at the end.
"Thanks for the tour." she said as we approached our door. "No prob, Bob." I said. I opened the door for her.
"Thanks." mumbled.
"So how was it Laney? Do you like it here so far?" Ms. Breslow asked. "Yeah." Laney said softly. let out an award-winning smile. "Good."
