Chapter Four
Carina was late again. She hurried into her science class. She shouldn't have stopped to talk to Tully because now she was so late. Tully was the biggest gossiper in school. Nothing happened to anyone in this school without Tully knowing.
"Sorry, I'm…" Carina started, as she almost fell into the lab. No Mrs. Walden in sight. Carina looked harder, no teacher for sure! She sighed with relief. Her classmates were sitting and talking loudly. That meant only one thing, late teacher! How late the teacher would be… no one knew but everyone knew that whatever the reason or punishment would be, you can get away with loud talking and no work for a short period of time! As she walked in trying to fix her hair, which she spent ages on that morning as she stared at her reflection in the gold framed mirror that hung in her bedroom that morning, it must have messed up as she ran to class. She sat in her spot between Hannah, Tai and Izzy.
"Where's Mrs. Walden?" Carina asked, trying to get comfy. It was impossible. These stools where made to be uncomfortable.
"She hasn't shown up yet," Tai said shrugging her shoulders.
"You should look in the back at the very end, it's the new kid," Izzy whispered quickly changing the topic as she turned and pointed at the new kid, her new nickname. She had curly crimson hair and big emotional brown eyes.
"Aw, one of you should go over and ask her to sit with us," Hannah said, cheerfully, her pigtails bouncing.
"I'll go," Carina offered. She got up and smoothed down her short green skirt.
She went to the back where the girl was sitting.
"Hi, I'm Carina, Are you new?" She said, trying to be super friendly.
"Yeah, I'm 'the new kid'. My name is Wanna- don't ask," She said, smiling awkwardly.
"Wanna… That's a nice name!" Carina grinned; she had never heard that name before, and she knew many names. Wanna shrugged, a little embarrassed.
"So, why'd you sitting up the back? Only the misfits and trouble makers sit up the back, and you don't look like either of those, so come sit with me and my friends! Hannah's dying to meet you," Carina said. It was true all the way to her locker she was talking about the new kid! What was she like? Where was she from? Was she nice? What did she look like? It hadn't ended. Wanna blushed, but grinned, "
Yeah, that'd be nice," She said, as Carina picked up Wanna's new books, pencil case and file.
Carina placed Wanna's books on the dirty grey bench and pulled out a stool, no one could ever say that Carina never took care of her guests. Her mother worked in one of the most famous, expensive hotels in Lommer City, organizing prestigious parties, formal events and corporate gathering. Treating guests with good matters and perfect hospitality ran in her blood!
"Look who decided to join us!" Carina said grinning, as Wanna smiled.
"I'm Izzy, and these are Hannah and Tai!" Izzy introduced herself and the other two.
"I'm Wanna," She said, sitting down next to Hannah.
"So what are we doing for science? Is it easy?" Wanna asked, some of her shyness had worn off. Looks, like she's good at starting conversation when she wants, Carina thought amused, taking mental notes in her head. She kind of expected it to be really awkward and quiet, asking the usual 'new kid' questions.
"We're starting a new topic, now," Hannah said kindly.
"I wish science was easy it's the hardest subject of them all!" Izzy moaned her head in her hands.
"No, it's not. You just don't study very hard," Tai said, not looking at Izzy.
"I study at all?" Izzy asked, glaring at Tai. "Uh," Wanna said, not to sure what to say next.
"Don't worry they fight like this all the time, technically it's normal," Hannah nodded. Hannah knew what normal was? "And don't worry about the new topic. It's got to be easier than chemistry," Carina said easily, putting her manicured hand on Wanna's tiny shoulder. Wanna and Hannah giggled.
"And when ever you need any help, you just call, you got that?" Carina winked at Wanna.
"That's nice, thank you," Wanna said, her big brown eyes looked a little watery.
"Yeah you got mother Carina's wing over you," Izzy pulled away from the argument with Tai.
"Yeah, that's the girl that has difficulty taking care of herself," Tai said, pointing out the obvious.
"Aw, but then it's sweeter she's taking care of someone over herself," Izzy started the fight again. Wanna went back to being shocked.
"I'll repeat what I said before, this is technically normal," Hannah confirmed, nodding her head she her high black pigtails bounced madly around her face.
"Is there a teacher coming or not?" Wanna asked, looking around.
Suddenly there was a soft click, like someone softly shutting a door. Carina and the class turned their heads.
"Sorry I'm late. I got a little lost on the way here," This guy was a major hottie! He had long brown hair tied back by black elastic. Shorter layer bits felled into his eyes, which were light brown. Carina noticed he had a piercing in his right ear. It was a beautiful sapphire gem which was held there by silver wire.
"What a babe!" Carina said softly to her friends.
"Gorgeous," Izzy whispered. "But he's a teacher," Hannah added, confused.
"He's so hot- what does it matter?" Tai sighed. 'Hmm, what happened to dear Sergio?' Carina wanted to demand.
Wanna went silent.
"That popular guy in the front of school was hotter," Wanna blushed.
"Did I say that? Out loud?" She looked shock.
"Yes, actually you did," Tai grinned. Wanna blushed even more. The teacher hushed the class down. He was starting to talk. "Your teacher, Mrs. Walden is away. Her aunt in Ireland is very sick. She wanted to go see her" He explained, taking out a folder.
"This is good! I believe you are starting a new topic," he said grinning. He pulled out a wad of light green pieces of paper. Carina recognized them as this topics program. That was basically a sheet of paper that told everyone what they were doing each week, roughly. The teacher started handing them out but when the teacher got to Wanna he stopped and stared then moved on.
"Oh no, I've only been here, twenty minutes and I'm already in the teachers bad books! How did this happen?" Wanna moaned covering her face with her hands and whimpering.
"No way, I bet you he… uh, well. Mh? I really don't know?" Hannah tried to some up with a decent explanation but couldn't. Wanna made more awkward whining noise. Carina put her hand on Wanna's shoulder.
"If it gets so bad, you could move town again," Carina offered.
"I was beginning to really like Lommer City too," Wanna protested.
"Of course you do, we live here!" Izzy winked, trying to lighten the mood with jokes and humor.
"Okay, class attention back here, I know you're really dying to start the topic but it can wait for me!" He said. Carina thought she heard one of the girls in front of whispering,
"This guy is a joke!" Her friend raised his hand.
"Aren't we going to do any work?" He protested against the teacher.
"Nah, it's my first day, and I really just like the sound of my own voice," He said jokingly, than his beautiful face went serious.
"Seriously there's plenty of work up ahead. Take it easy today," He said, smiling. Carina couldn't help but feel that line was directed at her and her friends.
"So what do you think of the new science teacher?" Tai asked, as she unwrapped a chicken and salad roll. Izzy swallowed some sushi before she spoke,
"I think he's good, science might have turned around," she said, before putting more sushi in her mouth. Carina nodded in agreement and dug into her own lunch, which was creamy cold pasta salad with herbs. Wanna and Hannah came and sat down at the plastic table they were sitting at which happened to be under the oak tree.
"Hey, so how'd you find the cafeteria selection?" Izzy asked, sipping on water which she had stuck a lemon wedge in giving the liquid a zesty, bitter taste. Personally Carina preferred something sweeter but Izzy liked it so that was fine.
"It's pretty good, it was much better than my old school, this school actually offers salad, pasta, fruit and water," Wanna commented picking at a fruit salad she had picked for 'dessert'. She stuck a piece of watermelon in her mouth.
"Why what did your old school offer?" Tai asked, curiously.
"Well, it was mainly deep fried salty stuff," Wanna said, unwrapping a sandwich which Carina noticed was salad and tuna. "Ew," Izzy said, disgusted by the selection.
"That's gross," Tai agreed. That was strange that they agreed on the same thing. But deep fried stuff for lunch everyday was gross. Carina practically lived on fruit and pasta so there was no way she would have survived Wanna's old school.
"Well, we have hot chips and mini lolly bags too," Hannah argued. Typical, Hannah always had to go for both sides.
"Yeah, but that's if anyone wants something like that. Plus there's only a few lollies in that bag," Tai competed.
"Well, I really like the selection here. It's got healthy yummy options with a few one off items. I think the best part is that we can eat outside," Wanna added, they all just guessed that there was no outside lunch area back in Wanna's old school which would have been terrible. Where would the kids have been able to get fresh air, and look at the pretty flowers? Carina ate some more of her lunch, enjoying the great outdoors, and the big old green trees that decorated Echo High.
"So Wanna what do you have next?" Tai asked, scrunching her rubbish into a little ball and leaving it on her tray. Wanna pulled out her time table and studied the A4 white piece of paper,
"Erm, I have English," Wanna said.
"Bo-oring!" Izzy hollered, she was so loud that the people around were looking at them. Carina was so embarrassed. Yeah people looked at her, but never because of an overly loud friend. Everyone blushed and Izzy laughed, awkwardly. Caring figured that she hadn't intended to be that loud. Just then the lunch bell rang. Was it already over? Didn't lunch just start? Carina shook her head and started putting things back into her bag.
Izzy's hand went to grab her water but her shaking hand knocked it over, making the water spilled over the table, over everyone's half eaten lunches. The girls moaned and tried to avoid getting wet as the water dripped onto the grass beneath their table. Carina noticed Wanna's top got soaked and Tai's sporty sneakers were soggy.
"Oh, I am so sorry, I'll clean it up," Izzy said, apologizing and looking for napkins to clean the mess up with.
"It's alright it's not your fault!" Wanna said, trying to make Izzy feel better. It properly worked; it didn't take much to make Izzy feel better.
"Do you want me to go get more napkins?" Tai offered.
"Alright, oh, why doesn't this mess just… evaporate?" Izzy moaned as she waved her hands over the table.
Suddenly the table vibrated, making a soft humming noise. What was going on? Carina thought, curiously. Then the water began to bubble and steam up. In a few seconds all the water and evaporated and taken away by the wind. All five girls faces where shocked and their eyes large.
"Izzy, um… what just happened and how did you do that?" Wanna asked, managing to actually say something. Suddenly everyone got thinking.
"You better hope no one noticed that!" Tai shrieked at Izzy. Luckily they were all to busy hurrying to their next period to notice. Izzy shook her head,
"I didn't mean to do that! It just happened!" Izzy cried back, shaking. She fell to the ground. Everyone leaned in and started saying comforting things. "
It was properly just a one off," Hannah said, covering up the weirdness that was beginning to happen.
"No, it happened this morning too! The cold water turned hot!" Izzy said, confessing the truth as tears welled up in her eyes.
"I think I understand, Izzy. Sometimes, things that are unexplainable happen? What else can we say? I don't think anyone here understood what just happened" Wanna said, patting Izzy on the shoulder, who wiped her eyes dry. "So strange things are happening?" Hannah said, spookily.
"Let's let this slide and keep our eyes open?" Wanna offered.
"For what?" Tai retorted. Carina knew that they all know what but no one wanted to say it. Was this… was this magic? She thought. She shivered at the word. These things didn't happen for real. Or did they?
How embarassing and strange right??? If I were Izzy I'd move town!
