Chapter 6

"Good morning," Josh's mom said while sipping a cup of coffee from what appeared to be a hand painted mug as he entered the kitchen.

"This is the farthest thing from a good morning," Josh said while rubbing his tired eyes.

"Don't be so negative, it's the first day of school," His mom said.

"Hence why it's not a good morning," Josh said while walking over to the glossy wood cabinets looking for something to eat.

"Well what would make it a good morning?" His mom asked.

"If it 11:30 and I was still in my pajamas up in my bedroom," Josh said grabbing a pack of strawberry frosted pop-tarts.

"Well I have to go get your sister up and ready for school," His mom said standing up from where she was sitting, "At least try to have a goo-" she was interrupted by a car horn honking.

"Well I'll see you later," Josh said grabbing his pop-tarts and a binder off the kitchen counter, "Bye."

"Kay," His mother said back while heading up the stairs. Pausing at the top of the stair case she said, "At least try to stay out of trouble this year."

"Don't worry I will," Josh said running out the door.

When he got into the car and sat down Sammi was already pulling out of his driveway. Josh, Derrick, Chris, Kemp and Cam were all squished in the back seat.

A couple minutes later when they arrived at the school they all got out of the car and headed towards the main building. When they stepped inside it was a madhouse. Everybody was rushing in to get to the machines that looked like kiosks so that they could get their schedules. They knew it would be crowded but they didn't think it would be this crowded.

Soon after they got their schedules they all rushed off to their homerooms. They hadn't even had time to tell Cam about the BMX contest when they got into the building. Just as Josh opened his locker the bell rang, of coarse just his luck. It was the first day and he was already going to be late to homeroom. He quickly threw his binder in his locker and rushed off to room A236.

Alicia had walked into the school all of five minutes ago and she had seen the hallways go from totally packed to completely deserted. She had assumed it was passing time since she and Dean had gotten lost on their way there. She walked around until she had finally found a security guard that pointed her to the main office was. Even though the school had already accepted her the principal had called her house last night and had said that she wanted to interview Alicia. She hoped they wouldn't notice that she was oh, an hour or so late.

"Hello?" Alicia said unsurely to the secretary that was sitting at a dark wooden desk.

"Yes, Can I help you?" The woman asked.

"Umm, yeah I am new and they said on the phone that I am going to be getting interviewed," Alicia said.

"Okay you can wait right over there," The woman said pointing to a seat.

"Thanks," Alicia said. While she was waiting she had noticed that there were many awards hung up on the wall, from Safest School of New York, to the student of the Year Awards.

Just then a door opened and a woman dressed in a cream colored pant suit walked out and called her in. She followed the woman into a room and sat down. Once she was settled the woman spoke. "Alicia I am Principal Burns and I just wanted to check some things with you before we make you a schedule," she said while opening a folder.

"Okay what about the interview?" Alicia asked

"This is the interview," Principal Burns replied, "Okay so it says here that you were in English and French 3 honor classes, and that you were on scholarship for dance."

"Yeah that's right."

"Okay well I spoke to your mother on the phone and you are going to have a part scholarship here."

"Okay."

"Well then," Principal Burns said as she scribbled something onto a piece of paper, "Give this to the secretary and she will give you your schedule, your locker assignment, and a pass to your next class."

"Okay, Thank you," Alicia said as she walked out of Principal Burns's office. She handed the secretary the piece of paper Principal Burns had given her and five minutes later the secretary gave her back her schedule, locker assignment and a pass.

She had just found her locker and put her things away as the bell rang. She checked her phone; it was now 11:45. This meant that the entire student body was on their way to the cafeteria.

Alicia: Heyy wheres the caf??

Dylan: to the left of the auditorium

Alicia: Kayy thanks

Dylan: Don't forget table 18

Alicia: I wont, thanks :)

After she found stairs and went to the first floor she saw Dylan. "Hey," Dylan said as she started to wave to Alicia.

"Hey," Alicia said waving back to her.

"Guys, this is Alicia," Dylan said to her friends that Alicia had recognized from the mall the other day. As they started walking to the cafeteria Dylan continued, "Alicia, this is Kristen," she said motioning to the Athletic looking girl wearing a cute Roxy sundress and who had Blonde hair pulled back into two French braids. "This is Claire," She said pointing to the girl with bright blue eyes and what Alicia had thought were really cute gold sandals. "And this is Massie," She said pointing to the girl to her left who had glossy shoulder length brown hair and a really nice charm bracelet. Alicia recognized her as the one who had yelled to Dylan from the car. After Dylan finished introducing her to everyone, the five of them were off to the cafeteria.
