Chapter Two
London
The museum that Joshua took me to was amazing. We both got to read a few of The Hound of The Baskervilles, my all time Sherlock Holms book! It was so fun, and Joshua is very good when it comes to reading out loud. He didn't mess up once, I on the other hand messed up twice. I read a paragraph ahead of what the audience is hearing so twice i read where I was while the audience was a paragraph behind me.
Tomorrow is the first day of school and I am so nervous about making a fool out of myself. It will be so humiliating if I do, like say something
stupid. Joshua said he would walk with me to school the first day if I wanted him to. So obviously I said yes. I think I like him, and if I'm not mistaken I think he likes me too. That would be so sad if I told him that I
like him and that he doesn't like me. Well if he does he will hopefully tell me, and if he does I will tell him I like him too, that way it wont be
too embarrassing.
Today is the first day of school in London and I am verry nervous. I feel like there are little bug's in my tummy fluttering around at top speed. I hope today goes on fine because if not I will write James and ask him if he will switch me back. Well here I go. I hope I don't mortify myself.
The day started like any normal day would start. Joshua picked me up from school and we start walking when he says, " so I was thinking of going to see a filme this weekend, and I was wondering if you would like to come with me." So I said, "Sure why not. What did you have in mind." Joshua suggested the second Harry potter movie. "Why not," I said, " your the first guy I ever met who actually want's to see Harry Potter without a girl saying she will see it." " Well," he said, " I really like Harry Potter, but I am hoping the second movie will be better than the book, which was kind of boring." I agreed with him. The second book was rather boring compared to the first, third, fourth, and fifth. "Have you read the third, fourth, and fifth yet?" I asked him. "I read the third and fourth, but not the fifth. Is it good?" he asked. I said yes, that it was pretty sad, but then I'm a girl so I would get all emotional when the sad parts come up.
Before I knew it we were at school. Joshua took me to the office, and actually waited for me while I got my schedule. It turns out I am in all of his classes, except Physical Education, I hope one of the girl's is in it with me because I will feel so sad if I don't know anyone. It turns out Joshua has P.E. the same time I do. I hope our classes work together so there will be someone I know in there.
My first class was history. It turns out I know alot more than it seems. When the teacher asked why was Queen Elizabeth I mother (Anne Boylen) was beheaded, I was the one she called. "She was beheaded because it was told that the ribon she wore around her neck had a mole on it. The sign that a person is a witch." I said. " That is correct. How did you know that? Not many people know that, you have to do extensive research on that. What elese do you know about that era?"
I said,"Princess Mary, (Elizabeth's half sister) was convinced that Elizabeth was a witch too. That no one know's for sure. I have done the research and it is not written that Elizabeth was a witch, nor was it then, so Mary could not do anything about it." "Well," the teacher said, " you sure know your Brittish History, and your not even Brittish. How is it that you know that but all the student's who ever answered that question have never been right." " My dad," I answered simply, "watches the history channel, so one day I did too and looked it up on the internet. I figured it would be usefull so I wrote it down and memmorized it."
Later that day at lunch Joshua said that in England if you knew that kind of information it is good to tell the Royal family. Apperantly even the Queen doesn't even know about her namesake's reasons for being shunned by Mary. "What do I do about it then?" I asked Joshua later that day on the phone. "You can alway's write an E-mail to the Queen telling her that if she could have one of your men contact you with a date and time, so that you could tell her part of her family herritage, which as the teacher said, is not known to many. I happen to know that the Queen does not know this bit of information," he said smugly. "How do you know this," I asked suspiciously, "did you hack a convorsation between the Queen and her men or something unlikely odd?" "Nope," he said, " I have an uncle who works for the Queen and she told him, and he passed it on to me incase I, who uses the internet for almost everything, would be able to help. But now I can tell him that I know someone who can help solve a bit of a problem in our fair city."
An hour of talking about that I hear an shout, "Ellie, it's time you get off the phone and come down to dinner. You can see Joshua later." "I got to go. I'll talk to you later, okay?" I said to Joshua. "Sure he said. I went down to dinner which to me is odd, there is little talk. The topic of discussion tonite was my first day of school.
"So Ellie," says James' mother, " I heared you know something about the Royal Family that not many people know, do tell." "Okay Mrs. Anderson. Well today in History, Mrs. Peabody asked if anyone knew why Queen Elizabeth I mother was beheaded, and I was the first person she called and I happend to know exactly why." "Well that is very interesting Ellie, and please do call me Clarissa, that whole Mrs. Anderson thing is just rubbish. Just call me by my first name or I will call you Miss Barone." "Um okay, Mrs. um Clarissa, may I be excused I have some homework to finish before I go to bed."
When I was half way through my Science homework Clarissa calls me to get the phone. "Hello," I said. "Ellie," said a voice, "It's Josh." "Oh,Hi," I said. ''I was wondering if you were still thinking about what to do about the information you told our teacher about?" he said in a jumble, "because if so I can help you out. Like on Saturday." "Are you asking me out?" I asked suppressing a giggle. "Sort of," he said slowly, "I was thinking we could just go get some food in town while trying to figure out what to do." "Josh," I said, " your a good friend even though we havent known each other long, but I think we should take it slowly. Yea I'll go into town with you for some lunch, but only as friends and later after we get to know each other well enough, then we should go out. Okay?" He said,"Okay. Well actually I called to see if you could help me out with part of our Language Arts homework. I cant think of a example of a Idiom." " I'll give you an example but you will owe me for it later. Use 'Does The Cat Got Your Tounge?' it's original and simple."After we had helped each other and finished our word I said I had to go and get ready for bed.
The next day Joshua and I walked to school and did not even discuss the fact that he had asked me out the night before. That was untill he brought it up. "So," he said,"where should we go to discuss your little predicament?" "How about McDonalds?" I suggested, "we could get some burgers and work on what I should do.''
