Chapter 8 New Friends
The bell for lunch rang and Dawn swiftly exited the class she was in. She was supposed to meet Shelby at the table by the window in the cafetria, so they could eat lunch together. She was almost to her destiation when a dark shadow loomed over her. She looked up to see the pale, haggard looking Mr Gaffety.
"Uh, hi." Dawn replied nervously.
"Hello, Ms. Summers. I trust you haven't had a hard time fitting in here, am I right?" Principal Gaffety asked.
"N-no, sir - I mean, yes, you're right..." Dawn studdered.
"Good, then...'" Mr Gaffety's eye caught something glint on Dawn's finger. It was a purple ring. He looked at it almost desperatly.
"Ok, bye Mr. Gaffety." Dawn said hurriedly. She turned on her heel and walked quickly to the cafeteria.
Dawn entered the cafeteria and spotted the table they were to meet at. It was empty. ♦Huh, I guess she's late♦Dawn headed over there to put her books and things on the table to reserve it while she got her lunch. But as soon as she set here things down, a group of girls Shelby onced reffered to as "the popular girls" came up to her.
"Are these seats taken?" One of the three girls asked.
Dawn was afraid to say they were. "Um..no."
"Cool. By the way, my name's Jaime." The first girl introduced herself. Jaime had long, black layered hair and pale white skin, which complemented her piercing green eyes.
"Hi, I'm Dawn." Dawn greeted. The girls smiled at her.
"And my name is Shauna." replied a girl with mid-length wavy, light brown hair and brown eyes.
"And my name is Casey." Casey had shoulder length, blonde hair that looked slighly fried from too much hair dye. She had friendly blue eyes.
"Well, I was just about to get my lunch, and -" Dawn started.
"We'll come with you." Casey cut in.
"Ok." Dawn smiled and they headed for the lunch line. Dawn didn't know why Shelby seemed to hate them so much. They seemed really nice to her. When they returned to the table they started talking about boys and the hotties in their classes.
"Oh my gosh, Dave is soooo fine." Shauna sighed dreamily.
"I know. He sits behind me in Algebra." Dawn replied with just a little pride in her voice. The three other girls gasped.
"Lucky!" Casey exclaimed.
Dawn liked being a girly-girl and gossiping about guys. It brought back memories of her life in LA. She wasn't all that popular in LA, but her and her friends always talked about guys. The girls continued to giggle and didn't notice someone come up to their table.
"Hey, Dawn. W-what's going on?" Shelby asked.
Dawn stifled her giggles and looked up to see a hurt looking Shelby.
"U-uh..." Dawn replied, unsure of what to say.
"There's no more seats over here. You'll have to find somewhere else to sit. " Jaime replied with a small sneer. "Right girls?" Shauna and Casey nodded. All three of them looked at Dawn expectantly.
"Yeah. You snooze you lose, right?" Dawn replied a little nervously. Jaime, Shauna and Casey smiled in approval.
Casey turned and sped off quickly to hide the tears that were falling down her face. In a matter of moments she disappeared from the cafeteria. Dawn had a sick feeling in her gut about what she did to Shelby, but it quickly wore off when she and her new freinds continued their earlier conversation.
