Chapter Two: Name

I remember when I had to ride the bus to school and how much I hated it. Even if high school it seemed like the atmosphere hadn't changed. People were low, rude and some time there were objects being thrown.

I remember how I had except that though, I would bring my music play and blast the volume to try and block out the scentless noise.

But now…

Now I do not have to deal with it any more.

I have a car now you see and a license to drive it. Let me sat one thing: thank you god! Any way my parents got it for me last year, it's an old car I'll give you that it's no sports car. But it suits me just fine.

The black Eclipse is my ride to freedom and seriously I would drive a rust bucket if it got me to the places I wanted it to.

The radio was running a light song in the back round I think it was Linik Park's "Its easier to run" but I was busy concentrating on the road and only had the radio on so it would be silent.

I turned into a dive way, a light brown house at my side, honking the horn I waited. This was my best friends place just so you know. Her name is Reka. She's a good person; not the best student I'll give you but she decent and she has a good heart…some where in there any way.

As I waited I heard the normal shouting of two women; Reka and her mother I could tell. They didn't get alone to well you see; well they use to but her father pasted away last year and ever scents then its been kind of ruff for her.

A few minutes pasted and the cherry wood door opened. A girl with dark brown hair, almost black and red-brown eyes walked out. Her jeans were ripped at the knees and her shirt held some snappy message.

This was Reka

My best friend.

She walked over opening the door and throwing in her red backpack, which made a low thud at it hit the car floor. She stepped in moments later sitting on the gray seat.

"Hay"

We said it at the same time making us laugh slightly. "We know each other why to well" Reka commented I nodded in agreement.

"That happens when you've been friends for ten years"

"True…oh I like this song"

Reka turned up the volume to a song I hadn't heard before. While she sang along I drove to school. It was only a few miles away really. We passed the park, and then turned right.

Then we were there, in front of the red bricked, two story high school. Letters on the entrance read "Center Moscow High School". Turning into a parking space I turned off the car make Reka groan.

Yes, I like in Moscow, Idaho, it's a nice place really, we get losts of snow in the winter witch is always fun.

Any ways…

Climbing out of the car I waited for Reka to get out. My shoulders were already complaining about the weight of my back pack. Soon enough she was out of the car and I locked it.

Then…

I heard the bell rang…

"Shit!"

We both yelled before speeding off toward the school doors.

It was a good think we already had our classes. There were one a peace of paper, neatly printed with all six classes, the room number, teacher and time they started.

Once in side the now very crowed halls of the cream walls, red lockers and black and gold tile. People were rushing to class, with only two minutes left before you would tardy.

Rake and I split up as she went to PE. I on the other hand was to report of the office to meet my exchange student.

Then I would go to…

English 12...

Have you even realized how hard it is to make it though a school hallway with out getting hurt? It's almost impossible to get though the task of walking to class with out being shoved, pushed, stepped on or run into some one.

Well at lest that's how it is for me…

I barely made it into the office before the bell rang again, its screech reminding me of nails on a chock bored.

Sighing I looked around the front office.

It was a nice cozy place holding the same colors of cream, gold, red and black – school colors. Miss. Ket was behind the desk like always, she smiled at me and I nodded before making my way down the red carpeted hall.

In the back of the hall way there was a door, this door led to the staff lounge room. I know this because last year I hate been a student add.

But, today this was the meeting place for the exchange students and their host to meet.

I suddenly felt slightly nervous.

I mean I didn't even know this person, or the gender…

Ok that not true…

I know because I remembered the irritated mood it had left my dad it, and how funny my mom and I had thought his reaction was.

If you haven't guessed…

I'm hosting a guy.

Hehe….

I never get tiered of the face my dad made….

Of coarse I was still plenty nervous; I had never done this before and even though I had guy friends I had never really sent more then a few hours with one bye my self.

With another sighed I took the handle and opened the door.

The buzzing of voices filled my ears and my eyes were met with many people. Some class mates, some teachers and some unknown faces from Japan. I rubbed my arm before walking in letting the door shut behind me as I found an empty black chair.

I felt sorry for the teachers, even there chairs are hard and stiff.

My bag hit the floor rather hard as I looked around the room; I could see almost every one of was paired up now.

That was good

That meant less people that could be staying with me. I glanced past a girl with brown hair and eyes talking to one of my class mates. After all I was looking for a boy; so I could just take out the girls in the room.

After a little bit I spotted a boy. He had brow hair too, and was looked to be blue eyes, like mine. I smiled getting up and headed towards him.

Remember what I said about knocking into people in the hall way?

Well for me it's not just the hall way…

I was all most to the boy before some one crashed into me, I saw a blur of colors before I hit the floor, a small groan escaping my mouth.

"Watch where your going" some one sneered.

God damn-

Opps…

Sorry lost my temper for a moment.

I shook my head my arms supporting my shoulders off the ground.

God that hurt.

I didn't see who had made me fall, who ever it was… a girl bye the voice was long gone.

"Excuse me are you ok?"

I blinked at the smooth male voice behind me. I nodded slightly before getting up, I stumbled and felt a hand on my for arm to steady me. "Thanks" I muttered turning to thank him face to face.

But the word never came as my mind froze on the spot.

I was face with pail skin, long red hair and dark green eyes…

It was safe to say I was have stunned looking at the boy who by now had let go of my arm. I blinked at the seconds ticked by like hours.

I shook to my head suddenly "yeah, I'm fine" I answered after a moment.

He smiled, nodding slightly. This gave me a moment to really look at him. I had his coloring right and the length of his hair right. But he was at left a few inches then me and built slender.

"Thanks…" I muttered before looking to find the other boy again, I found him after a moment, just one problem.

He was leaving with a classmate of mine.

Damn.

A low groan mixed with a sigh came from low in my lungs. I rubbed my face slightly…I was never going to find him.

"I need to fined host" I turned to look at the red head who looking rather flustered. I blinked before sighing and walking over to him.

He looked at me blinking.

"Let me help, I know every one left in here" I muttered he nodded slightly "what's his name?" I asked turning to look around at the few stray people left.

He laughed slightly and I turned to give him a puzzled look, he smiled again "umm… my host is a girl I think…" he muttered "well I would at lest thing so from the name."

One thing popped into my head.

Lucky girl

I bet its one of the popular people. "Oh. Well what's her name?"

"Alana Cline"

I froze.

"What?" I had to be sure I mean my hearing isn't very good after all so maybe I hear it wrong.

"Alana Cline"

Yep, I heard right.

He smiled slightly turning around and tossing the paper in my hands with my exchange student's name on it. "Well you're in luck you found her."

He blinked slightly confused; I tilted my head "I'm Alana Cline."
