Chapter 12: First Day, First Warning

On Monday morning Alicia rode the green bus to Bloors Academy with Tancred, Lysander, and Emma. The morning passed uneventfully. Alicia liked their new art teacher, Mrs. Coloras. History and math class was boring. The only interesting thing that happened was when Lysander, Emma, Tancred, and Alicia were walking to lunch. Unfortunately they ran into Manfred, who apparently wasn't in any better of a mood than when he gave Olivia detention. The four kids stopped as Manfred sneered down at Alicia. {Alicia just stared at him blankly.]

"So this is the new endowed girl." Dagbert Endless came up behind Manfred and Alicia's stare shifted from Manfred to Dagbert.

"Well Miss Torsson?" said Manfred scornfully as he waited for some response.

"Do you even know how to talk?" asked Dagbert.

"Pintro." Said Alicia.

"What?"

"My last name isn't Torsson, its Pintro." {Her last name wasn't changed when they adopted her.}

"Get to lunch."

Manfred and Dagbert stalked off. As the four kids walked towards the green cafeteria Tancred realized he'd been holding his breath the whole time.

Man, he thought If Alicia gets detention during her first week Mom and Dad won't be happy!

Tancred was pretty caught up in his thoughts, but he wasn't too caught up to notice the way Lysander looked at Alicia.

It's too bad he didn't notice how Emma looked at him…

Lysander has a crush on Alicia! Too bad the pairing won't work both ways like it will with Tancred and Emma. Read and Review Please! My writers block is gone!
