THE NEW GIRL

CHAPTER 03

- - - - - - - - - - -


I trudged to my locker, feet dragging on the ground. What a day! I barely lasted through double biology with Rave yakking away at me. Believe me that girl can talk!

Something about Johnny needing a hair cut, blah blah blah something about tala and me having the same eyes blah blah something else . . .

The lockers were deserted. Which was a relief I really didn't feel like kicking people in the shins to get to my locker. . . not that I do that . . ahem

anyways.

Lets see here.

 I scanned the numbers on the lockers trying to find mine. They had decided to give me my locker at the end of the day, seeing I'm having so much fun breaking my back from all the books in my bag. ha ha ha.

Found it. A sparkly new locker with a shiny large lock, which needs a key. Hmmmm,

I fumbled around the inside of my bag, I'm sure I put it in here. where could it be? Dammit!

I dropped my bag to the floor in disgust and stared at it for a while before hurling it up and dumping its contents on the floor. I'm not a very patient person.

Dammit!

I flopped down and started fumbling through the pile of books, when I saw a pair of feet approach me.

The feet stop, "hey want a hand?" a male voice asked, I looked up, oh its Michael.

"oh thanks yeah, trying to find my key!" I smiled at him and he smiled back. He kind of cute in a baseball hat.

"You look like you need the help!" he smirks.

"yeah I do!"

We rummaged through my stuff for around 10 minutes.


"I don't think it's here Alicia." Mikey said sitting back. "Look chuck your gear in my locker and tomorrow we can get you a new key."

"ummm.." I looked hesitantly at my locker and back at my bag. "ok, thanks, lets get this crap in my bag again. I swear I put it in here, here is the piece of paper they gave me." I pulled out the note from my pocket and hear a clatter on the floor. "uh-oh."

We both look down on the floor at a small silver key.

"Oops!" .

After I chucked all the books I didn't need in my locker and closed it I turned to see Mikey still there, leaning on the locker next to mine.

" So what are you doing this afternoon?" he asked, staring ahead of him, not making eye contact. He slouched against the locker, his hands shoved into his pockets.

"I think I'm going to the beach"

Kind of awkward moment here, I think, got to break the silence, hmmm think Allie think of something to say.

"Me too! Want a lift? " he turned and smiled at me. Awe so cute! "It's going to be a blast!"

Great! Now I won't get sand all through my bike!


"Great around what time?" I asked.

"I'll come pick you up around 4.30ish okay?" he asked somehow finding a tennis ball in his pocket and was now throwing up in the air.

"Yeah 4.30ish sounds cool. want my address?"

"yeah please, I'm not great with the yellow pages!" he laughs at his lame joke  and I gave him a your-so-stupid look. I wrote my address on his hand before saying goodbye.

..................................

What to wear. What to wear? Ugh! I can't find anything! Ok maybe people say yeah I don't care about my appearance or anything but seriously everyone does! Oh except maybe people in cartoons cause they wear the same thing over and over and over. Yeah anyway just rambling on there, ugh! Got to keep from zoning out!

"Alicia, honey do you have plans tonight?" Mum called from downstairs, okay what does she want now? Please no babysitting, please no babysitting.

"yeah!" I called out and keep rummaging through the pile of clothes on my floor. I found a plain white singlet top and my pleated mini, yeah that'll do. I chucked on my swimmers underneath and shoved some bracelets on my wrist and a necklace on.

"Good cause there is a gentleman waiting at the door for you." I heard my mum call and fought the urge to bang my head against the wall, how can she be so thick?? I grabbed my beach bag, which thankfully I had packed earlier, and ran down the stairs. "Bye mum!" I yell and sprinting outside.

"Hey!" Mikey said opening the door of his car for me.

Gentleman indeed!

"Hi! Thanks for the lift, I don't know where many things are at the moment!"

"Nah that's cool. Lets get going sorry I'm kinda late."

"no problems, I only just got ready."
