Chapter Three: Finding Lockers

Bye the time Rory got to school and her meeting with the head master ended the first period was almost over. Rory was closing the door to the office when the bell rang. Kids started pouring out of the classrooms and started towards their lockers. This was what Rory needed to do. She started walking down the hall to where her map said her locker was. She was so engrossed in reading the map she didn't notice that kids had stopped what they were doing to stare at her until some one came up to her.

"Do you need help?" a deep voice said. Rory was so startled she jumped and put her hand over her heart.

"Oh my God you scared me!" She said.

"Sorry 'bout that. My name's Josh Rhodes." the guy said and stuck out his hand. Rory stared at Josh giving him a once over. He had brown hair which was cut in a buzz cut and was pretty tall. He looked like he did some sport and was pretty popular but not as popular as her brother.

"Rory." and she shook his hand." So what were you saying earlier?"

"Oh I was wondering if you needed any help. You look pretty lost."

"Oh yeah, I'm looking for my locker. It's locker number 2593."

She looked at him when she said this and saw his face pale."Yeah that's right down the hall. You'll see a group of about 7 people and your locker is right behind them."

"Oh, um Ok. Thank you." And Josh hurriedly walked in the away in the other direction. Rory thought his explanation of where her locker was, was pretty weird, but decided to check it out any way. So she started walking down the hall again. She had just turned the corner when she saw a group of seven kids standing by some lockers. She stopped dead in her tracks when she got a closer look at them and smiled. Her brother and all their friends were that group.
