Michael walked cheerfully through the school as he made his way to meet his gang of friends to tell them his news. He almost skipped over to the table when he saw Chase making everyone laugh, nothing new.
"Hey guys, what's going on?" Michael asked casually as he plonked himself on a chair by Nicole, but before anyone could answer he instantly continued, "I'll tell you what's going on, I'm looking after another foreign exchange student that's what's going on!"
Everyone stared silently at him for a few seconds, taking in the sudden information. Chase was the first one to speak, "Hi" He did his little wave then smiled awkwardly.
"Hi" Michael laughed, then he looked at the girls to see if they would say something more on the exchange student subject
"Michael…" Zoey began, as she stabbed a fork into her salad, "You already looked after a student"
"Yeah, and it was a guy, and you wanted it to be girl, and the guy annoyed you and then you had to go to the dance with him and then…" Nicole started rambling on whilst carelessly throwing crumbs of her sandwich on her plate
"We get it" Dana motioned her hands together to get Nicole to shut up, rolling her eyes at the immaturity of her friend.
"I know that last one didn't go too well, but the staff decided I should be allowed to look after this new kid because I got Olli to settle in so well" Michael explained happily whilst he grabbed a packet of potato chips from his bag
"So what's this new student going to be like?" Zoey questioned curiously
"Well for starters it's a girl" Michael chuckled quietly as he opened the bag
"Are you sure, cause you know what happened last time?" Chase raised his eyebrows unsurely as he thought about Michael's recent exchange student
"I'm sure! I know what happened last time was a bit messed up, but this time I'm pretty sure everything will be fine" Michael shoved a potato chip into his mouth and munched extremely loud
"Well if you're sure…" Zoey sighed, "When is she starting here?"
"In about 5 minutes" Michael shrugged his shoulders with a mouth full of food, spitting contents of it everywhere
"Shouldn't you go meet her then?" Chase suggested, as he wiped a splatter of half chewed potato chips off his face. Michael stood up and walked away, but quickly turned back again to take his packet of food with him.
Dana broke the silence after he had left, "That poor girl is going to have to put up with him"
