After second Period Reid, Garcia, and I walked to Lunch together after meeting up at the lockers where we changed out our books for the next two classes. We got into line for our food, then we walked over to our table.
"Okay can I be the first to say 'Damn!'?" Asked Reid as he pretended to fan his self. "I mean did you see his fit fame?"
"Down boy." Warn Garcia as she smiled. "We know he's hot."
We switched the topic from the new hot guy to matters of school and activities. A few minutes later we heard a throat clear.
"Excuse is this spot taken?" Asked a voice, as a finger pointed to the chair next to me.
"What?" I asked dumbstruck.
"May I sit with you three?" Asked Aaron.
"Of course!" Reid all but shouted.
Aaron sat down next to me. "Thanks, I couldn't find anywhere else to sit."
"Surely the popular kids would have given you chair." I stated not looking at him.
"Emily!" hollered Garcia. "Just ignore her, she's not use to others wanting to sit with us."
"Oh why not?" He asked looking at me.
"Because we're the out casts of the school." Replied Reid looking at Aaron with a look that said 'Duh'.
"Then I should fit right in." He smiled as he took a bite of his food.
"I'm Garcia." Smiled my friend as she held out her hand from him to shake.
"Spencer." Reid stated also shaking Aaron's hand.
"And I'm Emily." I smiled though I didn't shake his hand.
"So new guy, tell us about yourself." Garcia said as she also began to eat.
Aaron started to tell all about his self and his family. Every now and then Reid and Garcia would ask him question about his life before coming here, and about his interests and such. I mostly just listened and kept trying to figure out why he was even talking to us. Everybody in the school avoided us three like we were the damned. The popular kids went out of their way to make sure we didn't even touch by accident. Others didn't give us a single look, unless it was one of annoyance. By the time the lunch bell rang, Aaron had told us about his old school and friends, the job he had working in for in the summers, his family and a few things that he enjoyed.
We all headed off to different classes. Garcia to computer class, Reid off to his language class, and me off to my law and justice class.
"So where are you heading?" Aaron asked walking beside me.
"Oh...Umm...Room 212. Law and justice with Strauss." I replied still surprised that he was still talking to me. "You?" I asked trying to keep the conversation going.
"Same. Could I sit by you?"He asked as we got to the classroom.
"Sure." I replied as he held the door open for me.
I walked to my seat in the very back of the class room and sat down.
Aaron sat down in the desk on my right, we pulled out our books and waited for the rest of the class to get inside.
"So Emily, what's fun to do around here?" Aaron asked turning his body to face me.
"Umm,...Honestly don't know. I don't get out much." I admitted, knowing my cheeks were turning red.
Please don't ask me why... I thought to myself.
"Oh, How come?" he asked leaning back and making himself comfortable.
"Just don't." I replied not knowing how else to answer.
"Well maybe one day we can find something fun to do together." He suggested though it sounded more like statement.
"I don't know. Maybe." I answered knowing that it more than likely wouldn't happen.
"Alright class..." began Strauss as she stood up. "Turn to page 53 in your books."
During class, Aaron wrote me a note handing it to me while Strauss's back was turned towards the white board.
Can you hang out tonight? Was written on the paper.
Probably not. Too much homework. I wrote back handing him the note again.
Want to a study buddy?
I thought about it for a minute before replying. Not today. Raincheck?
Sure thing. He answered with a smilely face.
I folded the note back up and shoved it into my the back of my binder. The class hour seemed to drag on and on. When the bell finally did ring it took everything in my will power to not run from the room. I walked to gym class, again Aaron walked with me since he was also in that class with me. I went to the locker rooms where I changed and stuffed my things in my locker. Then went to the gym and sat next to my friends on the bleachers.
"Hey you're in this class?" Asked Reid who had a huge grin on his face.
"No Reid he's just here to say hi." Joked Garcia.
"Alright class today is free day. You can play or run or walk I don't care as long as you're moving." Stated coach Rossi. "Balls are over there, those of you who will he running or walking, watch out. Now get to it." Blowing his whistle.
"I hate this class." Sighed Reid as we got up.
"Why is that?" Aaron asked grabbing a basketball.
"Reid's only good at two things books languages." Answered Garcia shooting the ball into the basket. "And I'm only good at computers." Sighing when it didn't go in.
"What about you?" Aaron asked tossing the ball to me.
I shot the ball towards the basket not surprised when it went it. "Dad wanted boys..." I replied when Aaron gave me a look of surprise.
"Can you do it again from the three point spot?"
I dribbled the ball three time before tossing it into the air. It made swishing sounds as it went in.
"Damn you're really good." Aaron stated handing the ball to Reid.
"Pass." He stated not touching the ball.
"Come my pet, let's leave the pros to the game. " Garcia stated taking Reid by the arm.
Aaron and I began a game while the others walked around the gym. After he won a ten-eight game we caught up with Reid and Garcia and stated to walk around with them. When the bell rang, we left together and went to the locker rooms where we changed back into our normal clothes. Then Garcia and I went to our lockers where we put our books, grabbed our homework and bags then waited for Reid.
"Hey did you guys want a ride?" Asked Aaron walking up to us with Reid by his side.
"No thanks." I stated, as we began to walk to the bus stops.
"Sure." Smiled Reid.
"I'll catch the bus with Em. But thank you." Smiled Garcia looping her arm through mine.
Garcia and I got into the bus and rode home talking about random things.
