A/N: Seems like everyone's got new students at least once so I decided to do one too, yay!
Adelaide turned over in the uncomfortable motel room bed. She hated motels, despised them. But there was nothing else to do. Adelaide had hardly any money, and a motel was all that she could afford. She looked at the clock. Great. She was already late for her first day at a new school.
(( A/N, Adelaide is pronounced ADD-uh-laid ))
The secretary was writing a late slip. Her lips were very thin, and she looked like she was pretty angry that Adelaide was absent on her first day. This is not a good first impression, the secretary had said. Once she had her late slip, Adelaide headed to her first class. It was Mrs. Kwan's class. As soon as she walked in the room, everyone stared at her.
"Is that the new girl?" Hazel whispered softly to Paige.
Paige nodded. "Yes, obviously. Can you believe she's late on her first day?"
Adelaide took a seat next to an alternative-looking girl, whom by looking at her backpack, she identified as Ellie. Adelaide took out a hair scrunchy and put her chocolate brown hair into a ponytail. That's one thing she was definately focused on. Her hair. Nobody EVER touched it. Adelaide sat at her desk, tapping her fingers on the desk to an unknown beat inside of her head. Finally about 10 minutes later, class ended.
In the hallway, Adelaide was greeted by that Ellie girl. Ellie walked up to her and was giving her a slight smile. Ellie extended her hand, and Adelaide took it, shaking it firmly.
"I'm Ellie Nash." Ellie introduced politely.
"I'm Adelaide. Johnson. Pleased to meet ya, Elz." Adelaide said. She shoved her hands into the pockets of her black jeans, and headed to her next class.
The rest of the day was pretty much a bore, until lunch. Adelaide got invited to sit with Ellie and her friends. Since she didn't have anywhere else to sit, she agreed. They were having pizza for lunch, and Adelaide took a bite.
"This pizza is actually not half bad." Adelaide said, partly to herself.
"Yea, I know! This is practically the only good thing we have. Incredibly, you can have it every day. It's always what I eat for lunch," Ellie took another bite of her cheesy pepperoni pizza. "So, Ade. What's your story?"
Adelaide sighed. What a polite way to ask, why are you so weird? She wiped her mouth, which was covered with grease and pizza sauce on a napkin, and began to speak.
"There's no story. I moved here from New York. I'm a freak, and I like to listen to alternative music; like Kittie. I really didn't want to come here to Canada, but I kind of had no choice."
"Well, where are you living?" Ellie asked, unaware that what she said was SO not the right thing to ask Adelaide. Adelaide choked on a piece of her pizza. She cleared her throat.
"Um, well. I don't really know the address or anything." Adelaide replied.
Ellie shrugged. She knew that Ade was lying, but she didn't know why. There was something about Ade that was a bit off. Ellie had to find out Ade's story.
