Chapter 9
Chelsea

I bustled off the train in an un-neat line. Chelsea Carrie was shoving me down the steps off of the train. She succeeded. I slammed into someone, that someone being Mich.

"Watch out where you're going!" I said in a joking sort of rude voice. Mich looked down on me.

"Pay better attention to your feet," She sneered. I wasn't so sure if she was kidding or not, I let it slide. She was with her Slytherin friends. Oh well. Jeslyn came up to me and pulled me up and gave a rotten look to Mich. Jeslyn knew we were friends and wasn't so keen on the idea, that was okay by me, the whole school probably didn't like the idea a Slytherin and a Hufflepuff were friends. People needed to get out.

"I'll race you to the carriages," Chelsea told Jeslyn and me.

"You'll be sorry," I said and ran off. I heard footsteps catching up to me; I looked behind me to find Chelsea sprinting as hard as she could.

"GO CHELLO GO!" I heard Jeslyn yell, she was sort of farther behind us but was routing for me. I ran and dove at the carriage. My hand touched it and all of a sudden Chelsea slammed into my body. I was sent flying over the carriage. I was laughing as slammed onto the ground. My back was all muddy now and I was still laughing. Kids began to walk around me and over me.

"That was interesting to see from afar," A voice came and I looked up at John. He had his hand extended to help me get up. I grabbed it and stood up.

"Probably not as weird as experiencing it," I said and suddenly realized that people were staring at me, including Kyle, Chelsea, Jeslyn, Mich, and a few of Mich's friends.

"Chello! Are you okay?" A panicky Jeslyn walked into view. The moonlight was illuminating her face.

"Yeah," I said and looked at Mich who seemed scared but probably wasn't showing it as much as she might have. It was really annoying how she was all reserved against me with her Slytherin friends. I looked back and stared at John.

"Well, that's good. I should be off then. Kyle's finding us a place to sit at," I nodded and he walked away. I hopped into the carriage; Jeslyn was next to me and then Chelsea next to Jeslyn.

Rode down the dirt road, and up to the castle. Almost the entire student body unpacked from the carriages. A few Gryffindor's were pushing each other around and one fell out of the carriage head down. He got up his face caked with mud. I chuckled and we piled into the school up to the Great Hall.

The whole school took a seat at their house tables. I looked around the Hufflepuff house table for Lisa and Laura to see if they had somehow gotten muddy but I couldn't find them at the table. It would be funny if they fell asleep on the train and hadn't of made it off. I looked around the Great Hall then to see if I could find Mich.

I didn't find Mich. But I did find Lisa and Laura sitting at the Ravenclaw house table. I chuckled, the fun never ended with those two. They were looking at each other excitedly as all these Ravenclaw's were staring at them. I turned back to the table and saw all the new first years pile into the Great Hall.

After that I zoned out. I didn't care to much about the sorting, Jeslyn judged me with her elbow every time I needed to clap for some new kid coming into Hufflepuff. Dumbledore got up and I zoned in instantly.

"Hello and welcome to a new year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We all are looking forward to another year here. But I would like you to keep in mind that the recent threats of the wizard Walter has lead the ministry to send Aurors in and around the school. They are here for your safety, and please do not bother with them to much. They are here for a reason and need to do their job and you need to do yours as students.

"But other then that the Quidditch season will go on and all the other schooling activities will continue. And with that note, may the feast being." Dumbledore ended and food appeared onto the plates. Everyone dug in. I looked over to Chelsea's plate. It looked like she was getting ready to hibernate, and Jeslyn looked the same. I wasn't so hungry, only tired. My thoughts were also elsewhere.

Mich had been ignoring me on a major scale and I already felt like I was developing a crush on John. He wasn't even in my house or year. That wasn't really normal. I felt like I was more close to Jeslyn and Chelsea then I was with Mich. It wasn't a normal feeing.

My thoughts came back when I saw Lisa, Laura, and Kyle sitting across from me flinging peas at my face. When did they become friends? I saw Lisa give Kyle a high five as one pea bounced off my forehead. I ignored it and closed my eyes.

"Chelsea's depressed," Laura said.

"My name is Chello," I sneered looking up at her, "She's Chelsea." I pointed to Chelsea who looked up very confused her face stuffed with a chicken leg. Chelsea and I looked similar. Only she had lighter hair, her face was more narrow then mine, and she had green eyes. We were both about 5 '8' though and such. No, Chelsea was skinnier then me. Jeslyn was skinner still though. She was shorter though, and had very brown hair and brown eyes.

"Chello? That's a really stupid name Chels," Lisa said to me.

"What would you know? You think your name is all that cool? You thought you were Laura until you were three years old. We have the muggle video tapes to prove it."

"Shut up you brat," Lisa said. I stuck my tongue out and was about to reach across the table and slap her across the table, but everyone hustled up and started to walk to the common room. I was lost from Lisa and Laura and Chelsea. It was just me and Jeslyn on the way to common room.

"You sisters are really immature. They're in their like…sixth year. I wonder if they're actually serious about getting jobs," Jeslyn whispered to me.

"Probably not," I said and we all walked into the dorm. This years Hufflepuff password was Hinkypunk. I sauntered up to the dorm, thinking. I was getting really bummed out about Mich and how this year was starting out…out of the ordinary. I defiantly thought a fourth year was hott, Lisa and Laura were being overly annoying, Jeslyn had the some old serious attitude problem and Chelsea was actually being less rowdy then last year.

I laid on my bed, with my cloths on, looking up to the ceiling, and fell asleep with my thoughts turning.
