In Homeroom

"Hem-Hem" said Mrs. Mack "We have a new student today. She's transferred from Charlotte, N.C., and we are honored to have her in here, her name is Candice Morgan"

"Can I come in now please?" said Candice, walking into the classroom. With soft brown hair, green/hazel eyes, and braces, she was the opposite of everyone in the room, reading everyone's faces until she saw Freddy. She slowly stopped, examining every inch of his face, like she hadn't seen him in a million years. Her jaw dropped a mile, then noticed that it was open. She hitched up her Pink Floyd bag, and saw an empty seat.

"May I sit down?" she asked the teacher, who was as shocked as Candice was.

"Okay, sit down. We've been reading 'The catcher in the Rye' so if you can find a copy" she stuttered.

"That's okay. I have a copy in my bag. I just finished it on my way up here." Pulling up her bag, she had a picture of some two little kids, holding hands. Blushing she pulled out about 5 books, sifting through them until she found the right book.

"Do you have your schedule, Candice?" said Mrs. Mack, peering at Candice.

"Yup, I'm good."

And then the bell rang.
