*** Chapter 11. I couldn't think of anything better for a ten year old.
Three years have gone by. Addie's teachers bumped her up to freshman year.
Hope ya like it! ***
I nervously looked up at the high school as I got out of the car and followed Pony inside. Being a senior, Pony led me easily through the congested hallway towards the main office.
"Are ya goin' to be ok from here Addie?" Pony asked as we stopped in front of the door to the office. "I'll stick around if ya want me to." He added.
"No, go ahead Pony, I'll be ok." I said. Looking at the skeptical look on Pony's face I smiled. "Really Pony, go on to your class. I promise I'll be ok."
Shrugging Pony headed down the senior hallway. Turning back towards the door I took a deep breath and walked in. A middle aged woman sat behind the desk. Hearing me come in she smiled and stood up.
"What can I do for you honey?" she asked.
"Hi, I'm Adelaide Mitchell... um this is my first day and I don't know where anything is." I confessed.
"Ah yes, Miss Mitchell. We've been expecting you to arrive." The woman replied. Pulling out a folder from the files she rifled through the papers. "Here it is. Have a wonderful day honey!" she said handing me the class schedule.
Walking out the door I looked down at the sheet of paper in my hand. "Hmm let's see... Morality class in 109... English... Art... Algebra... lunch... Biology... History... and Auto Mechanics. "I whispered to myself.
I turned the corner trying to find 109 when I ran into someone. Losing my balance I stumbled backwards. An arm grabbed me before I fell. "Watch it, would ya?" he said.
Glancing up I met cool blue eyes of a football player. "Sss... sorry... I wasn't watchin' where I was goin'." I replied.
"No shit Sherlock." The boy responded. "You're new around here so I'm goin' to give some advice. Stay out of my way." He growled. I stood there watching the kid's retreating back before moving on, shaking my head.
The morning classes passed by quicker then I expected. Sitting in Algebra class I looked around me at my classmates most were falling asleep. "Ring!" Everyone bolted from their seats and headed out the door to get lunch. Gathering my books I followed the throng of students heading in every direction.
"Addie! Addie wait up!" I turned to find Pony squeezing through the crowd to get to me. Stopping I patiently waited for Pony to get to me. "Hey want to go get lunch with me and my friends?" he asked.
"No... no thanks Pony. I want to stick around here ok?" I answered. He nodded and clapped me on the shoulder before heading back to the group of guys waiting for him. "See ya later Pony!" I called after him.
I walked outside and sat under a tree to eat. "Hey there, I'm Jason Fitz." A voice said. Looking up I found myself looking into the cool blue eyes of the boy I had run into earlier. "I'm sorry that I snapped at you this mornin'. I wasn't having a good day." He continued.
"I'm Addie Mitchell, yer forgiven." I replied as he sat down beside me in deep thought.
"Wait aren't you the girl that hangs with the Curtis gang?" he asked.
"Yeah, I moved in with them three years ago when I was ten." I replied.
"Ya mean you're only thirteen?" He asked incredulously. "I mean its pretty cool that you're smart. I'm fifteen." He stated. I smiled.
"You look like a girl that would play football, would like to pass the pigskin with me?" he asked. "If not..."
"No, I love football. Lets play." I said getting up. I followed Jason out in the open and stopped fifty yards from him. "Lets do it." I called.
The rest of the lunch period was spent with Jason.
