The next morning Craig woke her up. He said that she needed to get ready if she was going to start that day. She got up and walked to the bathroom. She got dressed in a pair of black tight pants that flared and a white long sleeve shirt that looked sort of hippie. She put her hair up in a bun, and did not even put on make up.
They ate breakfast and left. Joey drove them to school. They dropped Angie off first. Finally they got to the high school.
"Koby make sure Craig gets you everything you need for you classes," Joey said.
"Don't worry I will," she smiled.
"That's like so funny," Craig joked.
Joey left and they went inside. They stopped by the office to get her schedule. She had all of her classes with Craig. That had made her feel a bit more relieved.
"Good morning class," Mr. Simpson said.
For some strange reason he seemed to be in a pretty good mood. He was finally smiling like he use to. He hardly ever smiled any more.
"Class this is Miss Koby Warner," he said looking over her chart, "She will be staying with Craig Manning."
"Mr. Simpson," Hazel laughed, "We thought she would have been a he, so we got her a gift that is for a guy."
"Well as I said you did not have to but it was the thought that counts," he replied.
"Oh, I am sorry," Koby, said.
"There is nothing for you to be sorry about," Craig answered.
"That's what you think," a smart remark came from the back of the class.
"Could you speak up Ashley?" Mr. Simpson asked.
"Oh, sorry I was just talking to myself," Ashley answered.
Koby rolled her eyes. Everyone saw. They looked at her and wondered what was going on. Craig smiled and patted her on the back.
"Mr. Simpson?" Koby asked, "Could I please be excused?"
"Yes you may," he answered, "Craig would you go with her?"
"Sure," Craig answered.
They both new Koby was not going to the restroom. She was upset. It looked like she did not want to cry in front of the class.
"Koby, wait up," Craig called out.
"Craig she is just so, égoïste, I mean um how do you say selfish," Koby answered.
"Calm down, please," Craig, pleaded.
"It's just so different here Craig," she continued, "I mean I am glad I am here its just well you know."
"Here, come back to class and I promise she will not say anything, and if she does I will handle it ok?"
Craig asked. She looked at him for a minute or two. She lent over and hugged him. She gave him a small kiss on the cheek.
"Je te remercie beaucoup, Thank you Craig," she replied.
They walked back to class. On the way Craig messed with her by play pushing her and things like that. She would play with him by play punching him. When they got back to class Mr. Simpson signaled them to be seated.
They soon started class. After that class was over they headed to Mrs. Kwan's classroom. Before class started Jimmy and Spinner came up to meet Koby. They joked around and Jimmy tried to speak French to her.
Mrs. Kwan came in and started class, "Craig I guess instead of the fight scene you and Koby will have to do the death scene at the end."
"Mrs. Kwan doesn't that involve a kiss?" Ashley asked trying to be sassy.
"Yes there is, but I don't see how that would disturb you at all since you and Craig are no longer an item," Mrs. Kwan replied.
Ashley became quiet knowing she was put in her place. Craig looked at her with puppy eyes. He knew he was wrong but she wouldn't take his apology. She could not accept that he loved Manny and not her.
"Um Marco could you please come over here?" Mrs. Kwan asked.
"Yes Mrs. Kwan," Marco said. "If you don't mind they need a Friar," she said.
"Sure I can be it," he replied. "Well get to work," she said, "Oh and you three I would rather the idea of keeping that part the same. Maybe new clothes and all but the same idea please."
The lunch bell rang and they went to eat. The bell rang and they headed back into class. Mrs. Kwan had switched Ashley so that Koby could sit with Craig. This made Craig feel a little more at ease. They practiced their lines. Koby was really good at acting. It was like she was the part she played. She was amazing. All Craig could do was stare at her.
After school they walked home.
"So how was your first day?" Joey asked.
"It was fine," she answered.
