Chapter 2
Running down the hall, and looking for Eric, Landon saw Jamie walking alone, and decided to walk with her.
"Hey, Jamie, right?" Landon asked as he caught up with her.
"Yeah, and your Landon?" Jamie asked a little frightened that someone of Landon's nature would talk to her.
"Yeah." Landon said back. After a brief pause, he began again, this time a little nervous, "so you moved here from England?"
"Yes, but I've lived in the states before, so it's not that scary." Jamie said, and began to look down at her feet, and walk along beside Landon.
"So you're an army brat?" Landon inquired from Jamie.
"No, just transfer's that my dad has taken from his job." Jamie said quietly.
"Oh." Landon whispered.
"Can I ask you something?" Jamie asked, after they finally made it outside of the school.
"Sure." Landon said.
"Why are you talking to me? Not that I don't like it, you just seem, so well, popular." Jamie said, as she began to sift through her English accent, and her American accent.
"Honestly, I was looking for my friend, Eric, but I saw you, and began walking with you. It's just you, remind me of this girl, I used to know." Landon said sadly.
"Oh, used to know?" Jamie asked
"She died, a long time ago, or so my mom told me." Landon told Jamie.
"Oh, I'm sorry, we're you two close?" Jamie said back to Landon, about to tell him that she was from Beaufort, but decided against it, because of the death of this friend.
"Yeah, we were very close.." Landon replied, as he began to change the subject.
"So, your from England?" Landon asked, realizing he asked her the question before, and almost slapping himself for asking again.
"Yes…I am, kinda." Jamie said.
"Cool, did you like it there?" Landon asked, being careful not to pry, and wondering about what the 'kinda' meant in her lat reply.
"Yes…" Jamie said, thinking of why Landon reminded her of someone she once knew, or thought she knew.
'She seems distant…maybe she doesn't want to talk to me..' Landon thought.
Just then the bell rang for the next class.
"Well I have to go, maybe I'll see you around Landon…" Jamie said, walking off towards her next class.
"Jamie…wait." Landon called out.
Jamie turned around, "Yes?"
"Uh…can I walk you to your next class?" Landon said.
Jamie smiled at him, "Sure.." As she waited for Landon to catch up with her.
By the bathrooms Belinda saw them…she had been listening to there conversation.
'No one, certainly not a new girl, is gonna take Landon away from me…' Belinda thought, her eyes narrowing.
Belinda quickly ran up the hall, purposely bumping into Jamie, spilling her books to the floor.
"Oops…" Belinda said, glaring at Jamie.
Jamie bent to pick up her books, Landon helped her.
"I don't know what her problem is…" Landon said to Jamie, as Belinda went to her next class.
"Yeah…she seems so mean." Jamie replied, picking up her last book.
"Yeah…she is. I'm gonna try to break up with her today.." Landon said.
Jamie put her hand to her mouth, "Oh my…I didn't know she was your girlfriend. I'm sorry.."
"No Jamie don't be…" Landon said, as they reached the door.
"Okay…well good-bye Landon. I'll see you later." Jamie said, entering the class room.
"Okay. Bye, see ya later!" Landon said, jogging off to his next class.
Jamie walked in and took the only vacant seat in the back of the room.
"Just what exactly do you think your doing?" She heard a cold voice behind her say.
