Entry 4: Trying to Cope in Another World…
Diary, I had an awful day today! The professor dropped Luke and me off at the school (London Heritage Academy). We had just enough time to get inside before the bell rung. Luke kept running towards these big metal doors, and shouted at me to follow him. I did, and at the other end of the doors were teachers. We were in a lunchroom (I asked the professor what it would like last night). Several teachers and students glared at me when I was trying to catch up with Luke. I was panting and barely heard Luke say, "There she is, Mr. Killer, sir. We just got here." I curtsied, and Luke wasn't too happy about it. I dashed off too join Luke at his seat. They did something called a roll call. When they called my name, I raised my hand and said, "Present!" Luke gave me a look that could kill. I meekly chuckled quietly.
The first class was something called Biology. We actually had to dissect a frog, and a pig! It was awful; I couldn't stop the tears from coming. I tried not to think about the tortures the animals had to go through. I noticed that there were a few girls watching me. I didn't feel like talking to them today. The teacher called on them. Their names are Jamie (she's tall and a redhead), May (a shorter brunette) and Jacelyn (a snobby blonde). I met another girl in the classroom. Her name is Elaine. She has beautiful ebony hair, and she's really smart and nice. The next class was Algebra (I don't remember it much, because I was asleep through most of it). After that was English, and the teacher was kind of nice, but she picked on me most of the time. The bell rung, and that means lunch!
Elaine invited me to sit with her. We enjoyed lunch, and then headed off to a nice bench. The girl named Jacelyn sat not too far from us, and she kept sneering at me, like I'd done something wrong. I asked Elaine what her problem was, and Elaine told me that she was jealous. I was confused and I asked, "What is she jealous of?" Elaine told me in hushed tones, that Jacelyn was jealous of me because I held Luke's hand this morning, and I sat beside him during Orientation. I sat back and tried to make sense of it. I told Elaine that I didn't mean to make her mad. Elaine shrugged and said that she normally gets jealous of a new girl arriving.
"She thinks that Luke is hers, and she's sorely mistaken." I opened my mouth to reply, but the bell rang and we dashed off towards History of Civilizations. Elaine wasn't in that class, but Jacelyn was. She shot me dirty looks all throughout the class. I was so nervous, but Elaine joined me for the last class, English Country Dance. It was a blast! Luke was in the class and he asked to dance with me! I was relieved, see Diary, there weren't enough boys to go around that day, so some girls (like Jacelyn) had to dance with another girl. After that, Luke grabbed my hand and we raced towards the door where the Professor was waiting with his funny looking car. Now, I'm going to bed, but luckily, tomorrow is Saturday!
Goodnight Diary!
