Arieah
"Grr." I muttered. I was trying to open my new locker at lunch time, sick of having an aching back from the weight of my books, and not having much luck. I mean, my first day at a new school, in a new country, and everything is different, why couldn't just the lockers be the same? I was just about to wack my locker again, when a voice startled me.
"Can I help you?" I just stood there for a second, fist poised over my locker, fingernails digging into my palm. I looked over at the source of the voice. It was a guy, pretty good looking, just a little taller than myself. He looked at me questionly, waiting for an answer.
"oh, yeah, sorry!" I said quickly, finally understanding why he was staring at me "That'd be great, I'm new here, that's all. I am perfectly capable of opening a locker!"
He grinned at me, a seemingly easy gesture for him. I could feel myself melting.
"I'm Blue." He said
"I'm Arieah," I replied "and you don't look very blue to me!" he looked at me startled, probably thinking I was making fun of him "Just a joke…I'm not that good at humour, I have the worst puns…" I said, trying to make myself not sound like such an idiot. He smiled again and then showed me how to use the locker. Amazing, my first day and I've already found a cute guy. I mean, I'm not normally this lucky!
"Hey," he said after he opened my locker for me "do you play any sport? You look very tanned that's all."
"Yeah, I do…I run and play just about anything else!" I said, happy that I could get rid of the heavy books.
"how about volleyball? One of the girls from our team quit, would you like to join? I mean, you'd have to try out and all," he said
"I know, it's fine. Whens the next training session?"
"This afternoon after school in the gym."
"I'll be there." I said smiling. "Well, I better head off," I said gathering my books for the next classes "it'll take me awhile to find where I'm going!"
"You'll be fine. See you this afternoon."
"Bye!" I called as I walked away, grinning to myself. A new sport, and a new guy…could things get better?

Hey,
Have you met that new girl yet? Ariah? She's a cow. Don't talk to her.

Anna
As I stepped into my history classroom, I did the traditional shudder that I always do when I go to history. I hate it. Somethings are better off forgotten, I say. I snagged a desk at the back of the room, next to Toby and an empty desk.
"Ready to work on acting interested Anna?" he said, leaning over to talk to me. I laughed. Toby hates history almost as much as I do, and it was good to have some one that could make me laugh. Other than Sal.
"Hey," Toby said, staring at the door "who's that?"
I glanced over, "Oh, that's Liz's new neighbor, Arieah."
The dark blonde girl was talking to our teacher.
"Wow." Toby seemed awestruck. "Wow." It's funny how a pretty girl can make guys go all blah and have no knowledge of the English language. I shook my head and waved my hand infront of Toby's face to try and break his stare.
"Don't you know it's impolite to stare?" I asked tiredly. I had been up way too long last night. Suddenly Toby's eyes widened even further and he started to try and say something. I looked over in the direction of his gaze. Arieah was sitting next to me.
"Hi!" she chirped.
"Hello," I said, slightly startled "I'm Anna, and this…this is Toby."
"I'm Arieah."
Mr Henderson called for silence, and we shut up. Liz was right. I thought as Mr Henderson raved on about some war in ancient times. She is nice, although I could do without all the guys going gaga over her.
Blue
"Hey Blue!" I turned to the sound of my name being called. Liz jogged up to me. "Can I walk with you to training?"
"Sure," I said "it's a free hallway." She giggled at that and tried to straighten her hair out flat. Looked like a bad hair day, which was unusual for Liz, she's normally really neat and pretty. I was going to say something, but then thought better of it. Girls don't like being told their hair's messy. We reached the gym and most of the team was already there.
"Hi Liz!" a girls voice called from behind us.
"Hi Arieah, what are you doing here?" Liz asked, a little snappily. The pretty new girls' face looked hurt for a moment and then returned to her normal happy face.
"Not much, just trying out for the volleyball team." She said smiling. She really is pretty, I thought, she could win anyone's heart over in a second.
Liz gave her a skeptical look "In that?"
Arieah looked down at her clothes and then at what Liz was wearing.
"I'm sure I'll be able to play in my jeans," she said "I didn't know that I had to carry a change of clothes everywhere."
Before Liz could get cranky and snap, as she seemed to be doing a lot, Leaf came in. Arieah quickly introduced herself and training got under way. Arieah really could play, mean, some people can play volleyball, and look like they can play it, but some look like they were meant to play. That's how Arieah looked.
"Good serve Arieah!" Leaf exclaimed as Arieah served perfectly over arm for the third time in a row, each time scoring a point.
"Yeah good going!" I called, trying to keep up team spirit. From the otherside of the court Liz gave me a scathing bad look. What's with her? I thought I was just complimenting some one else for a change. So what if there's a new pretty girl at school, she might even be prettier than Liz.
"Grr." I muttered. I was trying to open my new locker at lunch time, sick of having an aching back from the weight of my books, and not having much luck.
