Chapter Two

I walked into US History second period and saw the object of the gossip: The new girl, Danica—or whatever her name was, I really had to find out; how embarrassing would it be if I called her that and it wasn't her name—she was talking to Mr. Waddell, who was signing her slip and giving her a textbook.

As I took my seat, Mr. Waddell directed the new girl to the empty seat behind me. She sat down, looking totally out of place with her dark skin tone and fleece-lined snow boots. I turned to face her.

"Hi, I'm Bella Swan," I introduced myself.

"Dana Quincey," she mumbled.

"Nice to meet you," I said. "You know, some people think your name is Danica, you should set them straight."

She smiled. "Thanks for the heads up."


A/N: Short again, I know. Unfortunately they're all mostly like that. But never fear, I will update often. R&R
