Chapter 7: Friendships 101
Liz walked into class still fazed by last night's events. Her head was fuzzy from lack of sleep and she seemed to drift off into space. It wasn't until Mr. Frost told them to get into pairs that she even noticed Tess sitting next to her. The curly blond headed hybrid smiled warmly at Liz as she tucked her hair behind her ear and scooted her desk closer to Liz.
" So I guess we're supposed to discuss the reading from last night and brainstorm ideas about a project due next week. I'm guessing you didn't quite get to it." Tess said flipping through the textbook she had been given.
" No, didn't quite get around to that. I'll help you catch up though. Seeing as we're practically family and all." Liz said softly. Tess let out a low laugh.
" I think we used to be really great friends. I mean I felt this strange connection last night with all of us. The four of us girls that is." Tess explained as Liz looked at her. She hadn't felt that last night because she was otherwise occupied but she felt it then. Even though Tess was a stranger to her now she knew it hadn't been like that before.
" You felt that last night?" Liz whispered. Tess came closer and leaned her head in.
" It was a pretty strong feeling in the room." Tess whispered back as Liz shook her head thinking about it.
" I see." Liz said opening the book quickly as Mr. Frost walked to help the students next to them.
" So, I was thinking, we could work on this tonight maybe?" Tess asked.
" Yeah, sure. I'm off tonight so just meet me after school and you can come over." Liz said.
" Sounds great. It'll be fun we can get to know each other better." Tess said as the bell rang and the two girls got ready to leave to their next class.
Michael was late for class but didn't really care. He knew he was smarter then any of these kids. As he walked into class he noticed Maria from across the hall. Her long light brown hair catching in the sun as she passed windows. She was beautiful. She walked into her classroom unseen by Michael. He sighed and finally made it into his class.
" Mr. Guerin, second day at a new school so I'm guessing you got lost?" Ms. Tompkins asked as she handed him a sheet for their math assignment. Michael took and looked it over. He could do them all in his head. 'Advanced calculus my ass.' He thought.
" I went into the wrong class. They all look the same." Michael answered flatly.
" Take a seat Mr. Guerin." Ms. Tompkins pointed to an empty seat near the back next to Alex Whitman. Alex gave a little wave as Michael made his way to the back of the class.
" I can help you catch up if you ever need it." Alex offered. Michael just looked at him and then turned away and opened his text book. Alex was a bit taken aback by that. Alex had never encountered anyone so.... broody.
Michael wasn't much for chit-chat. He thought about Maria for a moment then pushed the thought of her out of his mind. He didn't want to think about her because as soon as his thoughts drifted to her he knew..... well he just knew something. The teacher began to talk and Michael's mind drifted to the book in front of him.
Maria was daydreaming in class as usual. She hated history class; it was so boring and Mr. Klein didn't help in that matter, his voice droned on and on lethargically. She was brought out of it when Isabel Evans, tall and perfect looking as ever walked into her class. Mr. Klein looked at her and he flushed a little. There was no doubt she was beautiful. She handed him a note and flashed him a sultry style.
"I am so sorry sir. They put me in the wrong class. They thought I was a senior." Isabel said in a delighted way tossing her long blond hair behind her back. Maria was even captivated by that.
"I can understand Ms. Evans, it being your first full day of classes. Take a seat anywhere that's open." Mr. Klein flushed a little red again as Isabel smiled at him again, then turned and started towards the back where Maria was. There were two other open seats next to supposedly "the popular crowd" but Isabel took the seat right to the left of Maria near the window. Maria stared at her for a moment and Isabel smiled back in a sweet way. Isabel's charm scared Maria; she wasn't used to someone so…confident.
"I haven't gotten a book yet, do you mind sharing with me?" Isabel asked courteously. Maria was a little taken a back by her sophisticated demeanor. If you hadn't known exactly how old Isabel was, like Maria, you easily could have confused her for a 25 year old.
"Sure." Maria said in an all too high whisper. Isabel quietly laughed at Maria as Maria moved her desk closer to Isabel in a loud slide.
"I don't think they heard you in China." Isabel whispered in a teasing way.
"I'm a little clumsy sometimes." Maria admitted flushing from what she had just admitted.
"It's ok; sometimes I trip for no reason. The key is to always be composed when it happens, like you intended to do that or just laugh it off. Don't ever be embarrassed about it." Isabel whispered. Maria smiled at Isabel. They could definitely be friends.
