Chapter Two- Jen meets Lucy

Jennifer walked into the school just in time to hear her name called over the loudspeaker. She finally found her way to the office, and the secretary told her to have a seat. Oh great, she thought, in trouble my first day. After a few minutes the principal and another girl walked out.

"Jennifer, I would like you to meet Lucy Camden. She's a senior this year and she will be your guide here at school. Lucy, this is Jennifer Baker." Principal Russell said as she turned around, leaving the girls alone in the office. Jennifer looked at Lucy.

"I think I met your brother Simon earlier. We had lunch together." Jen said, not sure of what else to say.

"Yep, Simon's my brother. One of them. So, this hour is your study hall, and I have peer counseling this hour. We can hook up whenever you want and talk or I can help you with your homework or anything."

"Alright, actually all I want is someone to talk to."

"Well, you've come to the right person. Let's go sit outside."

The girls went outside to the same spot that Jennifer and Simon spent lunch. Jen let Lucy talk about her family, about her brothers and sisters and her extended family, which included one of her older sister's ex- boyfriends. Jen knew that she was going to like Lucy.

"Well, the hour is almost over, and I've done most of the talking. I'm sorry if I bored you." Lucy said, smiling.

"You're not boring at all. I'm the one that's boring. Your brother invited me to church on Sunday, and I'm going to ask off work so I can come." The bell rang.

"Ok, I'll see you Sunday."

Lucy watched as Jennifer walked away. She could tell there was something a little off about Jen, but she couldn't figure it out. She hoped that she would be able to make the new girl more comfortable, and maybe make a new friend.
