Chapter 21

Catalina's day was going a bit differently from Miguel's and Rico's. Unlike the two boys, she had no choice in the matter of Callie going in with her, seeing as the last time they had come to check out the school, the principal hadn't been there. So poor Catalina had to suffer the embarrassment of, not only walking into the school with her Aunt, but also walking through the halls with both her aunt and her principal. So much for not looking like the lame new kid.

As they walked down the hall the principal was talking about something called the student to student program. She figured it would be the same old thing. Some poor sucker was going to be stuck dragging her around to all their classes until she was able to remember her own way and the moment she did she'd be ditched.

The teen began to drown the lady out as she droned on and on until suddenly there was a loud scream that came from behind her. She froze. She would know that scream anywhere. It couldn't be…

Catlina turned slowly to find herself almost knocked off her feet by a blur of brown and blue hair. Her face turned from one of shock to one of surprised glee. "oh my god!" both girls yelled hugging each other harder.

"I can't believe its—I mean how did you— when—" they both stopped trying to talk and just broke down laughing.

I haven't seen you since—" the other girl began.

"I know. I thought you were in—" Catalina interrupted

"I was but then my mom—"

"really? I thought she was getting—s"

"nope. Change of plans. My dad was so pi—"

"Oh I know how that feels. My dad had to—"

"but I thought he was—"

"yea but then—"

The principal and Callie both looked at the two girls in amused bewilderment as they continued to have the weirdest conversation ever.

Finally the two girls stopped and Catalina just said "you don't know how great it is to see you."

"Tell me about it" Finally they both realized that they still had an audience of two.

"oops" they both said in unison. "sorry" again said in unison.

Catalina looked at her aunt with the biggest smile on her face. "Aunt Callie this is my best friend Emma Kirk. We've—"

"Known each other since 5th grade. Even with—" Emma added in.

"All the moving and the craziness we've still—" It was 'Lina's turn to cut in.

"Managed to keep together—" Emma added.

"And well,I guess I should explain more when we get home" Catalina finished realizing just how much talking they were doing, and how out of character she must seem.

The two adults just stood there for a moment looking at the two girls trying not to burst out laughing.

"Anyway, as I was about to say. Catalina, Emma is going to be your Student to Student guide for the next week or two. And I would assume from that little scene we just had, that no introductions are necessary."

"No ma'am", the two teens recited together.

"Alright then, you two can go ahead to your first period class with these notes explaining what kept you so long. And it was very nice to meet you " She said as she gave the girls some notes and turned to shake Callie's hand.

"It's Miss, and thank you very much for all your help." Callie said walking away towards the same direction of Catalina and her seemingly, long lost friend.

Callie left Catalina with a warning to be good and an attempted hug before heading off to work.

For the rest of the day Catalina followed Emma around reminiscing and bursting with a bubbliness that could almost challenge Arizona's.

By the end of the day she knew which teachers to avoid, which ones to distract with personal questions, which one's to volunteer for, and which ones to keep quiet with. During lunch she met Emma's 2 friends that she sat with, and spent the day catching up on everything.

If you didn't know how they usually were together, which no one in that district did, then you never would have guessed that though all of their outward bubbliness was real, it was also a little hyped up. What no one also knew was there was a reason for the emphasis on all this bubblines that they hyped up, they were avoiding something. There was a subject, no, an event that neither teen wanted to risk bringing up and ruining the high they were on in just having found each other again.

After school, when they were walking together. The Elementary School was a short ways away and Emma was dying to see the boys again. There was also the fact that Catalina didn't quite know her way around that well and was going to need Emma to help her find the way to the hospital afterward as well.

As the two girls walked things became more silent. The high was starting to wear off. Emma kept looking at Catalina in a sideways look that said 'we need to talk about this.' Catalina tried to avoid that look until finally Emma said, "Lin We need to talk." When Catalina tried to turn the subject around Emma said, "Damn it Lin, we cant keep avoiding this. I know it was months ago and I shouldn't have—, I mean I still—, I—I— what I'm trying to say is you can't just talk around it like it never happened. We need to resolve this. Right now."

Catalina stopped walking a moment. "Ok, but not here. She pulled her into the trees nearby and said, "Ok now we can—"

That was all she got out before she was interrupted.
