It was Monday and our last class before lunch, history. We were discussing the civil war. A steady rain was falling outside. I was hungry and the teacher, Miss Richardson, was droning on like a bee. The door opened and a student wed never seen before entered the classroom. That was because she was new. She was very pretty with long honey blonde hair and blue eyes. She was wearing all black and smiling waiting for Miss Richardson to notice her. Miss Richardson finally looked up.
"Yes?" she said.
"Hi I think I'm supposed to be in your class," the new student said.
She handed Miss Richardson her schedule, who took it and looked at it.
"Yes, yes you are," Miss Richardson confirmed.
She handed the student back her schedule.
"You can go sit beside Lucy," she said pointing at the empty chair next to me.
The student came and sat in it.
"Hi," she said to me; "I'm Ashley, Ashley Jenkins."
"Hi," I replied; "I'm Lucy Camden."
"Isn't your dad the reverend of the local church?"
"Yeah."
"Oh."
I noticed how perky Ashley was.
"Hey are you a cheerleader?" I asked.
Ashley laughed.
"That's a great movie."
"Yeah it is."
"And yes, yes I am actually. You?"
"Yeah."
"It's after school right?"
"Yes."
"Oh. What's next?"
"Lunch."
"Finally. I just got here and already I'm tired."
"The rain'll do that to people."
"Yeah."
"You wanna have lunch with me?"
"Ok."
"And your homework is to read chapter-" the teacher was saying.
The bell rang.
