Chapter 3:
Class seamed to drag on forever but soon it was lunch and we all ran out to the little lunchroom. Most of us headed outside, that poor room was so small and we usually only used it during bad weather. Sapphire had ran off some were and Lillie and me sat down next to Carol and Drake.
"Some of these new people are odd." He said bluntly. Lillie and me gave him a look.
"Be nice there just new!" Lillie said as Sapphire came back and sat next to Drake.
"Whose she?" he asked looking at Sapphire like she was in the wrong place or something.
"She's a new friend so be nice Drake." Lillie said as she gnawed on a piece of bread.
"Who said I was going to be mean." He then put his hand out to Sapphire. "Hi! I'm Drake" Sapphire raised one eyebrow and shook his hand.
"I'm sapphire so Drake…" they then got into a big conversation about football or was it soccer? I guess it didn't matter! Lillie taped me on the shoulder.
"You know that girl Masira?" Lillie said looking over her shoulder to an empty lunch table besides Masira. She looked like she was doodling on a piece of paper but you couldn't really tell because she was hunched over it so much. She looked like she was concentrating. "Why does she site all by herself? Poor girl looks really frail maybe we should go talk to her?"
"Why do you always include me?"
"Come on she seam's lonely and when we were introducing people she seamed so shy just like you in kindergarten. Don't you remember how you told you mom that you hated school and that you didn't want to go anymore? Maybe that's how she feels let's go talk to her." She garbed my arm and dragged me over before I could answer.
"Hi… Masira right? Can we sit here?" Lillie said smiling. Masira just nodded as moved in closer to her picture.
"So what are you doing there?" Lillie said leaning in over her shoulder she looked like she was going to fall on her as she got up on her tiptoes to see over the table.
"Its nothing just some doodles." Masira said quietly as she piled some papers over what she was working on. I saw it before she had piled it under the paper though, it was a wonderful hand drawn picture of what looked like Drake and I guess some of Lilies curiosity got to me because I then asked…
"Is that Drake? Its very good!" Masira blushed.
"Its nothing." She said garbing her stuff and moving over near a tree.
"See not all people like to be talked to." I said glaring at Lillie, "now she might be mad."
"I guess she will come talk to us when the time is right let's go see Hiro he seamed nice." Lillie said shrugging. I still felt bad that we had made Masira uncomfortable but I would see her later and tell her I was sorry.
Hiro was sitting next to Drake with his noes in a book. Sapphire was now chatting with Taylor (who didn't talk much!) and Drake about something else now. She seamed to fit in here right away and I was a little jealous of her but I liked the way I was and I seamed to be fitting in better lately.
"Hey guys!" Lillie said sitting down again. No one answered they were all occupied with there own stuff.
(Masira's point of view)
I drew another line and started to shade in his face. Why was it so hard for me to talk to people? Timber and Lillie seamed like nice girls but I didn't want to tell them my secret. I had fallen in love with Drake the moment I saw him the day we moved in. He was so cute but he was walking with another girl. They had looked like they had just gone down to the beach and he looked wonderful with his tan and his wet hair. It made me sad because the same girl was sitting next to him now. I had herd her name was Carol but I wasn't sure and I didn't really care at that moment in time, I just wanted him and I didn't know if she was a friend or a girl friend. I looked over at them all sitting there happy. Everyone seamed to fit in but I was just to shy… to different…
"Hmm." I said as I put the picture that I had drawn in my bag and stood up and walked to class.
Alex was standing in the back of the schoolyard looking at Sapphire talk with the other boys. Why did he like her so much? What was it about her that made him want her so much but he could never show the way he felt… no he could never do that. All the boys around her made him mad. Why did she get along with them so well? Why was it so fun to push her buttons and make her mad… why did she look so cute when she was mad?
"God what else could happen today?" He said to himself sitting by a tall shady tree. He was now 16 and he had never had a girlfriend. Was it because his flirting usually meant pulling their hair and tripping them? Why was he all by himself? That's probably what made him mad the most… why was he such an outcast here?
Hiro sat pretending to read his book but he was actually watching Lillie. He felt a little uncomfortable sitting with all these people but they seamed to except him sitting there with them and truly he would rather be there then all by himself like he was in the city. No one here knew about his illness though… what would they think if he told them? He didn't want to think about it he would just not tell them tell he got to know them better. He had started to fall for Lillie though. Why did he like Lillie? She was so different then him. He liked to quietly read when she liked to talk. He liked to be by himself some times when she would rather be crowded around with friends constantly. She was so pretty with her dark hair, skin, and eyes but girls like here never fell for guys like him. He thought now looking at her talk to Sapphire like they were old friends. Why did she seam to fit in anywhere? He thought turning back to his book.
I sat and listened to Lillie, Carol, and Sapphire talk to Taylor and Drake. I was so bored and I didn't really want to talk today I was a little tired and ready to go home and see if mom needed help with the new calf. I looked at Taylor he was such a cutie in my opinion but I knew that he was Lilies ex and that meant I could never go out with him. It hadn't bin a messy brake up and they were now good friends but Lillie would flip out if she even knew I liked him in that way and then I would loose my friend and I didn't want that. I put my head in my hands and shook my head a few times to at least look like I was interested in what they were saying but I was really off in my own little world thinking about Taylor.
Well then! That was fun! Hope I didn't lose any of you guys on the perspective switching parts! I will be taking a brake from this story for a bit…
My sister: Nooooooooooooo! You said you would put me in it!
Me: Suck it up buttercup, cry me a river and build me a bridge!
My sister: But Sarah!
Me: I'm working on my other and I might have time to update this one by next week but I don't know we will see.
