"Emma Keane," Miss Gold called to a girl with dirty blonde hair.
"Yes Miss."
"This is Diane Noble, she is new today but is going to be in the fifth. I would like you to show her around and introduce her to some people please."
"Miss."
At this Emma looked at Diane, she was about her height with dark blonde hair and grey eyes.
"Hi, I'm Emma, I am in the fifth form. How are you?"
"I'm good thanks, and you?" Diane replied politely but abruptely.
"Yeah good," Emma replied a bit taken back about the abruptness of the sentence.
"Right, well let me show you around."
"Well this is the science wing of the building, you have bio, physics, chem, etc here. Well, that's the school." At that moment the bell rang.
"That's lunch time, you can come with me if you want." Diane just nodded.
Emma led the way to a seat where a few people were waiting, and after a few more minutes quite a few people had turned up. Eventually Emma introduced everyone. Although the names were lost on Diane, as she couldn't quite remember which guy was Nate and which one was Will. Nor could she remember which one was Nikki or which one was Beth. For the rest of the lunch hour everyone sat around talking. Diane stayed quiet, as she didn't really know what to say. Then from somewhere in the distance a bell rang.
"So Di, what do you have?" Emma asked.
"P.E"
"I don't do it, but Beth over there does. Hey Beth, Diane is doing P.E. Want to show her were to go?"
Beth came over and smiled at Diane.
"So if you don't mind me asking, why did you change schools?" Beth asked as they were walking to class.
"My family moved."
"Right, so you haven't been in Sun Hill long then?"
"Three days."
"Are you liking it?"
"It's okay."
At this Beth smiled and kept walking.
The rest of the afternoon was spent running around the school and playing tennis. By the time the bell went both girls were puffed out.
"You're quite fit," Beth stated.
"I want to be in the Army, I have to be fit."
"Right, cool, I want to join the police when I finish."
At this Diane nodded.
Later that night Beth was on the phone talking to Emma when the topic of Diane came up.
"So what do you think of her Em?"
"I don't know. She seems to be a bit guarded, but then that could be because she has just started a new school."
"Yeah I thought that too, anyway I guess we will see what she's like in the coming weeks."
