For Better Or Worse
Chapter one
New Girl
Ryan walked through the halls of East Bay High with his mind in other things, Harper, Gray. What are they planning. Not the slamming of lockers or the teasing of Varsity kids was heard- or seen- by him, basicly leaving him to crash into a wall or walk into a spider-web.
What got him out was a body slamming against his. Looking up he saw a tall, beautiful girl doing... What was she doing? I guess she caught herself before she fell? Either way- wait, what do you mean "either way"? You didn't- OK, I'm getting of track- Anyway, she's beautiful, light skin, chocolate brown eyes and light brown hair
"I am so, so sorry, I didn't look where I was going and-" he stopped mid sentence.
"It's fine, I can't see things that are right in front of me most times anyway." They both laughed at this.
"Then you should probably get glasses."
"I got 'em, they don't really help." She chuckled. "Although I could have just left that part out and just mention why I don't have them." She thought out loud.
"Oh really and WHY don't you have them?" He asked as they started walking towards the cafeteria.
"My sister broke them. We were messing around and she fell on them."
"Huh, I'm Ryan by the way."
"Rei."
"So, Rei." He tried out the name. "I'm guessing you're new."
"That obvious, huh?"
"Kinda." They sat at a table, "Anyway, where are you from?"
"France."
Ryan's eyes widened. "But- You- Huh?"
"What, just because I'm from France doesn't mean I don't know fluent English."
"Yeah, sorry." He blushed out of embarrassment.
"Hey Ryan, who's this?" Spyder sat at the table.
"This is Rei."Ryan Introduced. "Rei, this is Spyder."
"Odd, I like it."
"No, look all I'm saying is I should have a station, or at least a chair. I usually just hover around until we move and I end up braking my neck." Mark complained to Harris as they sat down, neither noticing Rei.
"I get that Mark, nut that was not a part of Leo's design, besides, you have to move around to do repairs."
Ryan glared at them and coughed, nudging his head towards Rei.
"Who's this?" Harris and Mark said at the same time.
Ryan opened his mouth to say something but Rei beat him to it. "I'm Rei."
"I'm Ryan's brother, Mark, this is nerd-o." Rei chuckled.
"My name's Harris." He smiled warmly.
Before anything else was said, Rei's phone rang. "I have to go." She got up and answered the phone. "Emiee!" She walked away waving before turning around.
"Ryan." was shouted over and over again until he came back.
"Huh? What? What happened?"
"Dude, you just spaced out for like two minutes. Where'd you go?" Mark asked.
"Uhm- I uhh..."
"Someone's got a crush." Spyder teased.
"What? No I don't. Do I?" He was now confused.
"Mhmm." Harris nodded and the others joined in.
Rei finished her conversation when the bell rang. She continued to Science and sat beside a blonde girl with glasses. The teacher came in and started talking.
"OK class, first of all, today we have a new student. Everyone welcome Rei." She smiled calling Rei over. "Why don't you introduce yourself?"
"I'm Rei Jacques, I'm from France and I'm confused about the American school system." She drifted off.
"Well, OK then Rei, you can go back to your seat."
"Alright class, I'm giving you a project to do. You will work in pairs, got it?" The whole class went to chose their partners, "Don't get your hopes up. I'll be choosing your partners." She listed of names. "...Veracity and Rei..."
Now all she needed to do is find out who Veracity is. The girl beside her turned to her.
"Rei? I'm Veracity." She smiled and they shook hands.
"Nice to meet you."
And that's how a beautiful friendship between the two girls began
