Chapter 2! Hooray!

The bell rang, meaning that homeroom was over. Nixie grabbed Wally by the hand.

"Come on! We don't have all day!" Nixie started running, dragging Wally behind her.

"Yeah, but we also have more than a minute!" Wally exclaimed, but Nixie didn't slow down. They flew into health class before anybody else.

"Lace, you have no idea how much I've missed you," Nixie told him. "I hope we'll be close again."

"We will, Xie," Wally replied with a smile.

Nixie took a seat in the front. Wally sat next to her. "I've been doing horribly in school for the past forever," Wally stated. "I also haven't been allowed to do an American accent. It's nice"

A boy and a girl walked in walked in. Nixie squealed. "Hannah! Gregory!" She jumped up to give them both a hug. She twirled around, causing her skirt to floof up, but she didn't care. "This is my twin brother I was telling you about, Wallace. But we call him Lace. Lace, these are my friends Hannah and Gregory."

"Hopefully you're not as crazy as Xie over here," Gregory said, jerking a thumb at the short-haired blonde girl. He had dark brown hair and bright green eyes.

"Shut up, Gregory. We love her even though she should go to a mental institute." Hannah had red hair and brown eyes and was a bit shorter than Gregory.

The four of them sat together in the front. The class was boring (what do you expect for health?) and when the bell rang, everybody rushed out.

"When do you have lunch?" Gregory asked Wally.

"Fourth."

"Same. So does Hannah." Gregory went the opposite direction. Hannah walked with the twins a little bit before breaking off.

"I have lots of friends," Nixie told Wally. She wasn't trying to brag, though. "I'm considered an extrovert."

"Really?" Wally said sarcastically.

It was finally lunch time. During the other three classes he had met many more of Nixie's friends (she assured him that she had many more). Nixie led Wally to a rectangular table in the middle of the cafeteria.

"Jasmine!" Nixie exclaimed. A girl with light brown hair tied in a ponytail and blue eyes looked up.

"Lace?" she asked. She stood up and walked towards him. "I can't believe it!" she shrieked.

"Hi, Jasmine," Wally said.

Jasmine squealed. "Wow. It's too bad we haven't been able to visit you and Dad. Actually, I could do without seeing Dad." She looked up and saw Nixie and Wally standing up. "Sit down, guys! I'll introduce you to all my friends! And invite all your friends over, too!"

The group at the table consisted of people from all three grades. Jasmine was 8th grade, one of the oldest people there.

The rest of the day flew by quickly.

But why wouldn't Jasmine want to see her father?
