15. New girl
"Carr wake up!!" I heard Devon say. "What?" I asked him as I opened my eyes. He was standing over me and I was laying in my bed. "It's eleven Carr." he told me. I jumped out of bed when he said that. I ran to my closet and got dressed. It was Saturday and Devon was going to take me skating. Ice skating was awesome. We drove to the rink and got on the ice. "Devon help." I said while laughing. He caught me and held me up. Then we both fell down on the ice and started laughing hysterically.
We went home again to find no one in the whole entire house. We saw a note on the fridge that said they were at the mall. Mom was at work. Devon and I sat in the living room and played my favorite game, Checkers. I won of course. We went to bed and fell asleep. Soon enough it was morning and my alarm was going off. I quickly got ready as Devon took me to school. We both got out and went to our lockers.
"Carmi guess what?" I heard behind me as I opened my locker and unzipped my backpack. Preston. "What?" "We are getting a new girl today." he said excited. "Cool what is her name?" I asked. New girl huh? That's cool. "Lori Baker." he said and turned to his locker.
"Ok class we have a new student her name is Lori." told us. A girl stood up, Lori probably, and smiled. Mrs. Campbell motioned her up front. She went up there with a smile on her face. "Please introduce yourself Lori." Mrs. Campbell told her. She nodded and started. "My name is Lori Baker I am from Oregon." "Tell them something about yourself." "Ok umm well I was on the track team at my old school." she said. "Well that's good I think we have a young lady on the track team in here as well. Cambrey will you stand please." Mrs. Campbell asked. I stood up and waved at her. She waved back and went back to her seat. The bell rang and I gathered up my things to go to fourth hour. I went to my locker and then went to class. The class passed quickly.
I went to lunch and got in line. "Hamburger or hot dog?" the lunch lady said in a annoyed voice. I wonder why lunch ladies use that tone. It's like they don't like their job. "Hot dog." she gave it to me and I sat down at our table. Everyone was already there. I started eating when I saw Lori sit down at an empty table near the back. "Hold on." I told my friends and got up. I walked over to the table. "Now is there a good reason why you are sitting here alone?" I asked her. She looked up from her tray. "I don't have anyone else to sit with." she responded. "Come on Lori lets go meet some friends." she got up and I looped my arm around hers and we walked to my table. "Make room guys we have a new friend." I told them and Preston scooted over. I sat down by Jace and Lori sat on the other side of me.
"Lori this is Jace my boyfriend, my best guy friend Preston, his girlfriend Cara. Steven and Berkley and then Paisley." I told her and pointed to everyone at the table. She said hi to everyone. A couple minutes later we started talking.
"So your on the track team?" I heard Berkley ask. Lori nodded. She wasn't saying much. "We don't bite Lori I promise." I told her. "I know umm I have to go to my locker I'll see you later." she told us and got up. We all nodded as she left out the door. "I don't think she likes us very much." Paisley said. "She is probably just shy." I heard Jace respond. Yeah shy or something else. She probably had something going on. Or maybe she really didn't like us.
