New chapter two
*PJ's POV*
"You're not from around here, are you?" I heard Dan ask. All I could do was stare at her, I couldn't help it. "Uh no, I'm from Canada" She replied in her adorable accent. I know, I know, I just met this girl but there's something about her. Her pixie short hair was so cute, the way she talked was so adorable, her face was so beautiful, her style was so unique, her- "HEY Peej, you gonna introduce yourself to the lady?" I heard Chris say. "Oh yeah, right. I'm Pj." I said extending my hand to shake hers, "and I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name." She laughed. "I'm Astrid."
The conversation went on and we got to know a lot about Astrid in that short amount of time. "Well, I really should be going. I have to get back to the school for lunch soon. Nice meeting you guys!" She said turning to walk away. "WAIT," I heard Chris say, "Can I have your number to, you know, keep in touch?" What was he doing? We had just met the girl! She hesitated. "Uh sure, I guess that would be okay." Her and Chris exchanged phones and typed their numbers in. "Nice, so I'll talk to you sometime later then." He said smiling. "Yeah, bye!" Astrid said smiling back then leaving.
When we got back at Dan and Phil's house I just couldn't take it anymore. "Dude, what the fuck was that back there? We just met the girl!" I said, maybe a little too seriously. Everyone was now staring at me for what felt like forever. "It was ovious you like her and I knew you wouldn't ask for her number yourself, so here you go." Chris said tosing me his phone. I caught it and just stared at it. "What?" was all I could say, "Uh yeah, thanks." I said awkwardly, putting her number in my phone as well. Phil looked confused, "Wait, if she has Chris' number and Peej starts texting her, won't she think there's something strange there?" Damn he was right. How this was going to work, I had no Idea.
*Astrid's POV*
When I got back to the dorm, I put the glue I had bought into my craft drawer, then headed to lunch. I would be the only one there tonight, so I didn't have to wear that horrid uniform. I quickly finished my lunch then headed back to my room. To my surprise, there were boxes everywhere, I guess my roommate had gotten here early. I flopped down on my bed and checked my phone, waiting for her to arrive. I had a message from Chris, wow first day and I already have guys texting me. Wanna hang out with me, PJ, Dan, and Phil this weekend? It read. I thought about it and decided on yes.
As I was texting Chris back, my roommate came in with another huge box. "Hello" I said, trying to use my friendly-not-timid voice. She set down the heavy box before replying, "Hi, I'm Cover!" She said in a way-to-excited voice, "You're American, yeah?" She asked. Ugh I hated when people confused the two. "No, Canadian. There's a difference." I said a little more rude than I had expected it to sound. The thing is, she didn't seem to get offended. "Oh, my mistake! Well I'm gonna get situated, please tell me if I bother you." What was this girl's deal, was she some kind of nice-robot or something. I just stared at her, "Are you real?"
