It all started about a month ago. I was hanging out with some kids before school
it was our senior year and everything was normal, Sidney was complaining about having
to do homework and was putting me down every chance she got. I have no idea why I
put up with it for three years, but I did. Glenin and Dana were trying to calm her down
and I was just standing on the rim of our group watching them. Then he walked in, the
new kid in our class, who moved here from Europe. When I looked over at him, I felt a
weird tingling sensation in the back of my head. All of a sudden he looked straight at me,
our eyes locked and I felt that tingling sensation in my head get stronger and then it just
suddenly vanished as he left the gym. " Earth to Cailet! Anyone home?" Sidney asked.
"Huh?" " Cute isn't he?" "Who?" " The new kid you couldn't take your eyes off of
the minute he entered the gym." Glenin replied. "I was that obvious?" I asked. " Ya you
just made a total fool of yourself in front of everyone. He isn't even that cute."
Sidney remarked. "Whatever I gotta go to class." I said as the bell rang for first period.
"Great we get to go and take more notes in Zoology. What fun." Glenin sarcastically
commented following me to class.
I was talking with Glenin before class when I felt the tingling feeling in my head
again. I looked up to see the dark haired boy walk in and take a seat in the back of the
room. " Jeez you got it bad." Glenin remarked. "Got what?" I asked never taking my
eyes off the boy. " Oh come on every time he walks into a room, you can't take your
eyes off of him." "I do not!" I shouted looking back at her. "Ya right, besides it's
obvious he feels the same way." "What?" " He hasn't taken his eyes off you since you
looked away from him." "Come on we don't even know each other." "That could be
fixed, just go over and talk to him." Before I could reply our teacher, Mr. O'Neil,
announced his lesson plan for the class. "Today we're…" "Wait, let me take a guess we
taking lots and lots of notes today." Glenin commented. "No Glenin we aren't taking any
notes…" A loud chorus of cheers goes up from the class. "We're doing a lab." " BOO!
HISS!" everyone chorused. "Cailet why don't you work with Adam Newman and help
him catch up with the class." " Um sure, OK." I said looking at my desk, trying not to
look at him. "Here's you chance Cai. Good luck." Glenin said as Adam walked up to us,
and Glenin walked away with me glaring at her.
"Hi, I'm Adam Newman. Sorry you got stuck with me as a lab partner." He said
with an Australian accent that made me melt. " Uh, hi, I'm Cailet Parker. It's OK. My
last partner got a hold of the scalpel and mutilated the specimen so I don't mind
switching." I said shooting a look at Glenin who just glared back at me. Adam saw this,
we both looked at each other and busted out laughing, getting weird looks from all of our
classmates. "Glad to see you two are getting along. Now can we get to work." "Um
sorry" we both replied at the same time and started working. During the lab we talked
about things. "I thought you were from England." I said and then explained that the news
about him was going around school when he gave me a confused look. "Ya, but I'm
originally from Australia." "What's it like down there? I always wanted to go there." I
asked. "It's really beautiful, you would love it there." "Cool" During the lab I found out
we had two more classes together that day and the last three classes the next day. "Sorry
to interrupt you two but the bell is about to ring." Glenin told us while giving me a
questioning look.
"So what's up with the new kid?" Glenin asked me at my locker. " What do you
mean?" "Don't try to act all innocent. I saw you two talking and laughing during the
lab." " I just offered to show him around school….and town." I said pretending to be
busy looking for something in my locker. " YOU WHAT!!!!!!" Glenin
and Dana exclaimed at the same time. Just then Adam came up "Hey Cai, you ready for
lit?" "Cai?" Glenin asked giving me a look. "Um ya…OW… this is Glenin and Dana." I
replied rubbing the spot on my ankle where Glenin kicked me. "Hi, I'm Adam." " Hi"
Glenin and Dana said giving me a "you better tell me everything later or else look."
"So" Dana asked. "So what?" I asked back. "So gave me the details me about
Adam." "What about him?" " Oh come on, you're going to show him around town, he's
already calling you Cai. You know that Glenin is going to make you tell her all about
him during lunch." "Actually, I invited him to sit with us." " Way to go Cai!" " Oh
come on he might not even sit with us." "Oh yes he will" " How do you know?" " He
didn't taken his eyes off you all through class." "Ya right" Just than the bell rang and we
all went to our next class. "C-ya at lunch."
During lunch everything went pretty much the same except Adam sat with us.
"So how do you like it here so far?" Dana asked. "It's pretty cool." Except for a few
snide remarks from Sidney, lunch went really well. We basically just talked about where
Adam was from and what he thought of it here so far.
