The Not-So-Ugly Stepsister
Chapter 2: The New Girl
Gordo and Lizzie walked into their homeroom and picked out two seats next to each other. Lizzie glanced around the room. All the same kids, and the same teacher, Mr. Hoover. The first day of school was really boring for upperclassmen. Especially homeroom, since it was the same all four years.
"Ok guys." Called out Mr. Hoover, once they all filed in. "Welcome back! I hope you had a great summer, I'm sure we'll have to come back here after the assembly, so we'll talk about it then. As for right now, you guys can just hang out and talk while I pass your schedules out. Just try to keep it to a quiet roar ok?"
The class laughed. Mr. Hoover was really nice, and pretty cute. He was only 25, and had started with them, the year before. Lizzie hoped she had gotten him for English this year. She waited eagerly to see her and Gordo's schedule. She wanted to see what classes they had together.
"Ok Miss McGuire. Here you go." Said Mr. Hoover, as he handed Lizzie her schedule. "Looks like I'll be seeing you in here sixth period!"
"Great!" remarked Lizzie, as she looked over her classes. She felt Gordo's head peer over her shoulder.
"Ok." He started. "Looks like we have English, western civ, study, gym and Spanish together. And lunch."
"Cool." she replied. "That's 5 classes! 2 more than we had last year."
"Yeah." He answered. "And you'll probably have biology and geometry with Miranda."
"True." Remarked. Gordo would be taking all advanced classes, including chemistry and trigonometry. Lizzie was only taking advanced English and western civ.
"Hey Lizzie!" called a voice from across the room. It was Parker McKenzie.
"Yeah?" asked Lizzie.
"What period do you have bio?" Parker asked.
"Um, third." Replied Lizzie.
"Cool! Me too!" she remarked, as she walked over to Gordo and Lizzie. "So have you guys heard any dirt on the new girl?"
"Only that she's related to Kate." Replied Gordo. "Which is reason enough for me to avoid her."
"Yeah." Said Parker. "Well I heard from Cara that she's been in boarding school all her life."
"Wow." Remarked Lizzie. "That must be tough. I can't even stand sleep-away camp!"
"Me either." Laughed Parker.
Just then, an announcement was made over the loudspeaker. "All students please report to the auditorium for the welcome back assembly."
The class filed down to the crowded auditorium. Lizzie scanned for Miranda, but was bummed to see that you had to sit with your homeroom.
"Here." Called Gordo, motioning towards two empty seats.
The both sat down, and Lizzie looked around for Kate. "Have you seen her yet?" Lizzie asked Gordo.
"Seen who?" he asked.
"The new girl! Were you born yesterday or something?" Lizzie said sarcastically.
"Lizzie, if she's new, and none of us have ever seen her before, do you really think I could find her among 800 other students!" he exclaimed.
"Just keep looking." Commanded Lizzie.
"Chicks." Retorted Gordo, under his breath.
Over the din of students chattering, Lizzie could hear a familiar voice yelling "Freak!". She turned around, and sure enough, Kate was telling off Larry Tudgeman. She noticed Claire, Brooke, Andie, and a few of Kate's other friends. She recognized all but one of them.
"There's the new girl!" exclaimed Parker, who was sitting behind Lizzie.
Lizzie looked at her. She appeared to be their age, she wasn't really short, but she wasn't as tall as Kate. She had short brown hair, which had golden highlights, and fell just above her shoulders. Her complexion appeared very pale next to her tanned companions. Freckles dotted her face, which was very pretty, but not drop-dead gorgeous. She had a small nose, which was slightly upturned, and light blue eyes, one of them had a splash of green. The expression on her face was similar to that of Kate's: don't mess with me. She was wearing makeup, but not nearly as much as the others. She was dressed conservatively, but with hint of style. She had on basic jean flood pants, and a pretty boring white tee-shirt, but she had blue bowling shoe type sneakers. Very shabby-chic. But what surprised Lizzie was the fact that she seemed unimpressed with Kate. When Claire complemented Kate on making fun of Larry, she rolled her eyes. Almost like being popular was annoying to her.
"She doesn't look a thing like Kate!" exclaimed Lizzie to an uninterested Gordo.
"Lizzie, they're stepsisters." Gordo explained. "They aren't biologically related."
"I know that!" replied Lizzie. "I mean, she isn't falling at Kate's feet, or being mean like the rest of them."
"Lizzie." Started Gordo. "You don't even know her name. Why don't you wait until you meet her before you write her life story."
"Whatever." Replied Lizzie, annoyed.
They sat through the rest of the assembly and met up with Miranda at the end. The girls compared schedules, delighted with the fact that they had bio, geometry, gym and English together, and bummed by the fact that Miranda had a different lunch. They were separated yet again, and returned to homeroom until classes started.
It was a pretty run of the mill first day. Until lunch. That's when things got interesting.
