"Good morning, Joseph." says Joanna
"Good morning " says Paul
"Good morning, you two , it's time to go to school." says Poppy
They get up from the table, and get their backpacks. They give Poppy a hug, say goodbye to her and T.J., and goes to the door. One hour later Paul is transferred in, and has a schedule. Now he is trying to open his locker, when Joanna and her friends come by laughing. Joanna hears angry mumbling, and sees Paul trying to open his locker.
"Joseph, you better hurry, you only have three minutes." says Joanna
"You know him?" asks Nina
"Yeah he's Tyler's acting cousin, and he is living in my house." says Joanna, casually
"Okay, now that we have that settled. Can someone tell me how to get to Mr. Long's class?" calls Paul
"Down the hall, first door to your right." Joanna and her friends answer in unison. They walk off to the right.
For the next three periods Paul asks for directions to each of his classes. In between classes he tries to open his locker. It's now lunchtime, Paul is at the beginning of the really long lunch line. Joanna is sitting with her friends. When Joanna remembers that she needs to give Paul lunch money.
"I'll be right back." says Joanna. She gets up, and makes her way toward Paul.
"What is that girl doing?" asks Lesa. They turn and look, they see her with Paul.
"It looks like she is talking to Joseph, but couldn't she do it over here?' asks Cathi
"Who knows" says Nin. They see Joanna get into her purse. "Now, I care, what's she getting?" They watch Joanna hand Paul money with a smile.
"Now, why would she be smiling about giving money, now looking apologetic, and smiling again?' asks Cathi
"Their staring" says Paul
"I know, they're curious. They are probably wondering why I'm giving you money. Which I will tell them later." says Joanna
"Wait, I want to have some fun." says Paul
"Meaning?" asks Joanna
"I want to keep your friends guessing." says Paul
" Umm... no. If you want to have fun, make friends of your own, and play pranks on them." says Joanna
"Come on, please I want to do something." says Paul
"Make friends, that's something." says Joanna
"How?" asks Paul
"Join clubs and sports, like fencing, their having try outs after school." says Joanna
"Okay, I'll try fencing." says Paul
Joanna leaves, and tells her friends, what she was doing. Thirty minutes later, the bell rings and everyone leaves. Four hours and forty minutes later it's time to go home. Except for people trying out for fencing. Joanna sits on the bleachers, and watches the tryouts. Twenty minutes later it's Pauls' turn, and he makes the team. Joanna gets down, and gives him a hug.
"Congratulations. " exclaims Joanna
"Thank- you" says Paul
"Come on, I am treating you to ice cream of your choice." says Joanna
They grab their backpack, and leave. After ice cream, they head home. When they get home, they do their homework. Later during dinner they talk, and laugh. Then they get ready for bed, and got to bed. The next morning they get up, and get ready for school. Then they say their goodbyes and go to school.
