Chapter 2
Who's That Girl?
Amy painstakingly finished her lunch, and tossed the trash in the garbage bin, and walked into the bathroom. She looked at her face in the mirror, and looked at all the girls in the bathroom who just giggled and walked out.
Amy turned on the sink just as Marilyn, the girl from Amy's first 2 classes, and another girl with raven black hair and dark blue eyes walked in.
"Well, well, well, a new girl, how sweet," said Marilyn in a sickening sugary voice. Amy's eyes drooped.
"So maybe I am a new girl. What of it?" Amy said, looking back up with some new confidence.
"Make sure she doesn't take our spots in the popularity, Claire," said another girl with super long brunette hair, with bright pink streaks.
"Look," said the brunette, looking at herself and applying lip gloss to her puckered up lips. "Don't even think about taking Freddy. Or Zack. They are really hot, and they are better then you, so they can't have you and you can't have them."
"Right, Erika," agreed Claire. Amy just walked away.
OOOOO
Amy walked out to her locker, and tossed her purse in it. Then she noticed Katie and Summer walking, so she nonchalantly walked over.
"Hello," Amy said. Katie glanced over her shoulder, and nudged Summer. Summer turned.
"Hi, Amy," Summer said. Katie smiled, then turned back to Summer.
"So, meet me after school so we can do that project on that one town, Geraldstown or something," Katie explained. Amy stiffened.
"G-Geraldstown, you say?" Amy stuttered. Summer turned and nodded.
"You're in our class, you can help us. I bet you know a lot about it, since you're from there, and stuff." Katie grinned. Amy flashed a fake smile.
"Yeah.." She said faintly, then walked to her next class.
OOOOO
Amy walked into the class, and sat way in the back. No one she knew was in that class.
Ms. Buckler, the teacher, walked in, flashed a pearly white grin at everyone, and started in on the work.
Amy, sitting half-dozed at her desk, was doodling pictures of her room at her aunt Aria's, a simple room with white walls and dark blue carpeting, and a twin bed with a faded flowers comforter. Then she stopped and flipped through her notebook. Most of it was covered with doodles and different writings of her name. Already.
Class soon ended, then the bell rang. It was time to leave. Amy was very relieved.
OOOOO
"Miss Amy!" shouted Aunt Aria's voice. It was very unmistakable. It was rough and deep when shouting, but soft and quiet when speaking. Amy ran over to her aunt's black car. She was standing next to the back seat door, and the driver was already in the car.
"How was your first day of school?" Aunt Aria asked when she got over there.
"Tiring. I am very out of shape, Aunt Aria. I have never been through so much." Aunt Aria opened the door and Amy slid in, putting her pack in the driver's seat.
"Amethyst, I have been attending school all my life. I have just finished 18 years ago. Yes, it is very tiring, but I do believe it got to be fun," Aunt Aria smiled.
"Aunt Aria?" Amy asked.
"Yes, dear Amethyst," Aunt Aria replied. Amy's brow furrowed as she stumbled the question out.
"Have you ever...ever had...ever...had...French fries?" Amy tried out the sentence in Geraldstown language, GTL for short. Aunt Aria laughed shortly.
"Yes, dear Amethyst, I have. And tonight, we are celebrating your first day as a normal child by having a normal American dinner: hot dogs and macaroni and cheese."
