Chapter 4
A new life
Diana woke up with a start, and immediately took in her environment. It was a proper house, a small house, and it had only 3 rooms. Diana searched the house. It was empty. 'Strange… how come there's nobody here?' Then she saw a small note on the table, it read:
Dear young, sweet, adorable mud girl,
I have posted you into a new school. Class starts at 12 pm. To get to your school please press the yellow button on the bottom of this note…
The first thought that hit Diana was that whoever wrote the note was a bad striker. She could still see the word 'mud'. Why did this guy call her a mud girl? She was very clean, in fact, she was beautiful. Diana had long, straight hair tied up in a plait, really fair skin and bluish black pupils and hair. She was wearing a blue shirt and black three quarter pants. But she was young, so she did not really notice herself much. But being sick of the creepy house she was in, Diana braced herself and pressed the yellow button.
Instantly she was in a deep pool of swirling blue. It was spinning so much that Diana really wanted to vomit. Puke. Whatever you call it. But this sensation only lasted a minute, and soon she was in a pleasant garden. Diana's eyes widened as she realized she was in a school garden. Students were running everywhere, and Diana realized that she was wearing the same thing as the others. She was even carrying a heavy schoolbag! She blindly followed them and stepped inside the school gate.
Classes had just begun when Diana stepped into the school, or so she thought. She was so confused that she wanted to scream. Just then, she spotted a boy her age and she quickly ran up to him. " Excuse me, but what's going on here?" Diana queried. The boy stopped what he was doing, and he looked at Diana. He was as good looking as she was, with jet black hair and eyes. His hair was combed in the 'cool dude' way. "Oh, you new here? Our teacher did say there was a new girl coming to school today. So, i suppose that's you? " he replied. Diana nodded. She was one of the quietest people imaginable. The boy smiled at her. " Well then, nice to meet you. I'm David Walter. And you are?" he asked.
"My name's Diana."
"Diana what?"
She froze. She didn't answer immediately… she couldn't. " Er… Diana…Diana Fenton."
David laughed. " You don't sound so sure."
" I am."
"Good. Hey class has started, so, er, just follow me. "
David closed his locker and started to walk quickly towards the staircase. Diana hurried to catch up, and the two of them started to climb the long flight of stairs. "Don't you want to know what class we are having now? " David started talking.
"Not bothered, really."
David looked at Diana like she was crazy. "You're weird," he told her.
"I'll take that as a compliment."
David put on a serious face. "Hey, you sound like as though you're good in English."
"So what does that bother you?"
"I'm the best in English out of every 7-year old here. You better not mess with me."
For what may seem like the first time in a lifetime, Diana smiled. It was the most rare moment ever. No-one in the whole world has seen Diana smile except her real parents, and this crazy guy. Diana smiled wider. She had just made her first friend.
