I found a seat and sat down. The teacher at the front of the classroom looked kind of nice, I guess. He had dark brown hair and glasses. I looked at the slip of paper in front of me. It said, 'Mr. Kipp'. I skimmed through my chemistry book and looked at all the chapters. It was all the things I'd be doing. I had done at least half of it in the previous year. The late bell rang and I looked over to see Bradin beside me. I sighed. He smiled at me.
"What's your favorite subject?" He asked me. I shrugged. "Do you have to be like that? Everyone thinks you're weird, you know. Why do you have to act like you do? I'm just trying to be nice," he sighed and went to sit somewhere else. I sighed as well and shrugged it off.
"Attention, class! I'm Mr. Kipp and I'm your chemistry teacher this year. I have few rules, not many, but all I really ask is that you don't talk back, you don't talk when you're not called on, you all get along, do your homework and work during class, and we'll be friends," he smiled a small smile. We took notes for most of the class and filled out paper work and things. When the class was over, I left quickly and headed to second block Math.
"Hi...are you new? 'Cause so am I and I'm really, really nervous and I don't know anyone and I don't have any friends and I'd really like to have some friends, so that's why I'm talking to you so do you wanna be my friend?" She asked me all in one breath. I stared at her and laughed lightly.
"Yeah, sure. I'm new...I'm Avery Donovan," I smiled a small smile. She seemed a lot like me, actually.
"Oh, thank goodness," she smiled and sat down next to me. She let out a sigh of relief. She had long, strawberry orange colored hair, lots of freckles, and emerald green eyes. "I'm Eden Reid." She smiled. "I'm from North Carolina and just moved here a few weeks ago. Everybody's real different here!" She exclaimed. She talked really fast and it made me laugh a little.
"Everybody is really different here," I said and nodded as I opened my math book. "I'm from Ohio." I said. She nodded.
"Where do you live?" She asked me.
"Um...somewhere on the beach. It's like, only a minute away, if that. It's right by some cove..." I tried to remember the cove's name. My mom had told me when we were looking at the condo on the beach a few months before, but I couldn't remember it.
"Let's see...there's Spanish Cove, I live by that one--" she started and I cut her off.
"That's the one!" I exclaimed. "I live right by that. It's like, my backyard." I laughed lightly and pulled a pen out of my purse. I wrote down my phone number and address down on a piece of paper. "This is the place." She looked at it and nodded. She tore a piece of paper off the one I had handed her and wrote something down on it. She handed it to me.
"Here's mine," she smiled.
"Ladies and Gents!" We were interrupted by a man at the front of the classroom. "My name's Mr. Turner and I'm your math teacher this year," he said.
"Call me sometime and we can hang out," she whispered and I nodded. Maybe I had finally found a friend...someone like me.
