New Beginnings

Chapter 6

I don't own them. Gosh... you people.

The next day at school Emma hung out with Courtney, Allie and Jenna. She was wearing a baby blue mini skirt and a white tank top. Courtney thought it was totally cool.

Now that Allie and Jenna weren't ignoring her, she was having a lot of fun together. They were just starting to make fun of Emma's dad's job when Courtney interrupted.

"Everybody, I didn't tell Emma this, but lunchtime is announcement and warning time. I announce things, and I tell everybody how many points they have left. Allie, you have 4 points. Emma, you have six points and Jenna, you have 3 points. I don't tell anyone when they gain or lose points. I only tell them at lunch."

BBRRRINNNNNGGGGG! That was the bell. Courtney, Allie, Jenna and Emma all had science together so they continued talking as they walked to class.

"Yeah," Emma said. "My dad's such a geek. He was in high school too. My parents went to high school together but my mom was a popular cheerleader. I don't know how they ever got together."

"I need to stop at my locker; I forgot to get something before lunch," Allie said. "Will you guys wait for me?"

"But we're not allowed to go to our lockers after lunch," Emma replied.

"It doesn't matter; we never get caught. And if we do, detentions not that bad."

"Well...okay." They waited while Allie got her stuff, but unfortunately, Mr. Konigsberg, the strictest teacher saw them and they all got detention. Emma went around grumbling the rest of the day. Allie, Jenna and Courtney didn't seem to care that they'd gotten detention.

"At least I won't have to tell my mom because I was planning to stay after school today anyway."

"Come on Emma. Don't be such a wimp. It's only detention. Anyway, the teacher doesn't care if we talk."

"Yeah...I guess you're right. I'll stop." And for the rest of the day Emma didn't say a single word about detention, and was just as cheerful as Allie, Jenna and Courtney.

The rest of the day went by really fast and after cheerleading Emma, Courtney, Allie and Jenna went to the detention room and sat down.

"Ah, welcome Miss Geller," the teacher, Mr. Grefeed said. "I've been waiting for you to join us in detention.
