Disclaimer- I do not own Hamtaro including any Hamtaro character. I only wrote this story.
Chapter 3- Why not?
"Isn't it great we have first period together?" Pashmina asked, attempting to make conversation with the new boy that Bijou and Hamtaro had introduced her to as they walked down the poorly lit corridors on the way to class. Unfortunately, the only reply she got was a shrug of the shoulders. This was going to be harder than she first thought.
"So where did you come from?"
"Far away." Panda replied simply.
"Oh." Pashmina said as she looked for another lease of conversation.
"So, do you like woodwork?"
Suddenly Panda's head snapped up from the floor as fast as a closing rat-trap and a great smile appeared on his face. "Do I! I love it, look." His hand reached into his pocket and out he pulled a perfectly carved palm-sized wooden horse.
"Did you make that?" Pashmina asked, in awe at how well made the item was.
"Into class now!" A stern woman's voice called, causing Pashmina to jump out of her skin but then again, Mrs. Perkins had that affect on everyone. "And no smiling!"

"He's not that bad really." Pashmina stated as she ran her fingers against the spines of the multi-coloured books laid side by side in the library.
"I don't know, he seems a bit odd to me."
"Sandra, keep your voice down!"
"Yes, Mr. Peters." Sandy replied before turning back to face Pashmina and Bijou.
"Well let's invite him then, that way we shall get to know what he is like." Bijou suggested.
"Good idea Bij!" Sandy stated, "Who should ask him then?"
All the girls shared a look as they wondered who should do the task.
"Need a hand picking a book?" All the girls jumped into the air as they turned around seeing a tall, dark haired boy standing behind them who they knew as Maxwell, a boy who practically lived in the library.
"Maxwell, would you like to go to the circus?" Sandy asked.
"Sandy!" Pashmina exclaimed as she twisted her friend around "I thought we were asking Panda!"
"Ever heard of the phrase, two birds with one stone?"
"You have an idea?" Bijou asked.
"I always have an idea, now go get Hamtaro."
I know this is a short chapter but it is going to lead to Plan A, were Sandy is determined and the group will form. ;)
