Chapter 2
Alexandria ran over to where Kate Beckett was standing. In those few steps towards her, she took the chance to get a good look at the young girl. She had looks to die for, her dark brown wavy hair fell gracefully over her shoulders, she was the right kind of tall, and she had every reason to become a super model. Alexandria held her hand out to her
"Kate?" she said
Kate nodded yes and shook hands with her.
"That's me, you must be Alexandria" said Kate.
"The one and only" said Alexandria
"I apologize, were these guys troubling you?" she asked Kate
Josh and his friends laughed, and Kate just shook her head and said "not really, but I guessed they were up to no good" she gave them a teasing smirk
"They never really are" said Alexandria.
"Alright girls, we got to go, catch you'll later" said Josh, as he and his friends hurried off to class.
Most of the corridors had begun to empty out now, as the students made their way into the classrooms.
"I'm so sorry I kept you waiting, and even more sorry that you had to meet those guys, trust me, we have more well behaved students in the school"
"That's great to know" said Kate
"Come on, we have the same class for first period, and the classes that you don't share with me, Maddie will take over"
"Who's Maddie?"
"Madison is my closest friend, we've known each other for ages"
"Can't wait to meet her..." said Kate
"Will we be in trouble for being late to class?"
"Not really, let's just go with it's your first day, and you were lost, and I had to hunt you down"
Kate chuckled. "Okay..."
"You probably think I'm good at this or that I do it regularly"
"Do what?" Kate asked
"Make excuses for being late to class"
"Why? Are you always late?"
"Not really, but I think that's going to be the case very often now"
"Why so?"
"My brothers back from college, and he always finds some way or the other to get in my way when I'm getting ready for school"
"Siblings can be quite a nuisance" said Kate
"Younger siblings are cute, mines elder, he's a monster"
Kate laughed "he can't be that bad"
"Trust me, he is"
They had reached class now, and their excuse had worked pretty well.
Kate sat behind Alexandria for the first period. By the end of the day, she had learned quite a lot about the school, and had even found a good friend in Alexandria and her best friend Maddie. The two of them were quite the pair, and were even entertaining to an extent. Kate found that she was quite comfortable around them.
After school, the 3 of them walked down the school lawn and sat for a while under the shade of the school's largest tree. That was Alexandria and Maddie's spot, and they didn't mind one bit letting Kate join them. The young women sat for an hour, getting to know each other, learning more about Kate, and vice versa.
Kate felt so much at home with them. Before leaving her hostel this morning, she had been so nervous about this whole new school idea. But she knew she needed this. After everything that had happened back home this past year, she needed to get away from there. And she felt blessed to have met Alexandria and Maddie, two very kind hearted girls.
She was brought out of her reverie when Maddie asked "so what brought you to new york city?"
Kate went cold, she hadn't thought about what she would say if anyone had asked her this question. Which was stupid, she should have been prepared. She gulped, and prayed they couldn't read through her nervousness at being asked that question.
Like a saving grace, they were interrupted by a tall figure that threw shade on them from the sunlight
"Josh, what do you want?" said Maddie, who often thought of josh as an attention seeker, and a playboy. Maddie always ridiculed Alexandria for her crush on the guy
"I was wondering if you ladies would like to join us for a snack at the diner down the road"
He was talking to all 3 of them, but his eyes were on Kate.
Kate looked at her new found friends,
"Rain check lover boy" said Maddie, "we've got other plans for the evening"
"We do?" asked Alexandria.
"We do" affirmed Maddie, and Kate just kept looking between the two of them, not sure what plans they were talking about.
"Alright then, maybe next time, see you girls tomorrow" said Josh and then he walked away
"What plans could we possibly have that would come in the way of spending time with Josh Davidson?!" asked Alexandria
Kate chuckled at her question. It was pretty clear to her now that Alexandria had a thing for the guy.
"We, that is, you, Kate and I are going back to your place to watch a movie, and maybe get some eye-candy time too"
"Oh gosh!" exclaimed Alexandria
"What? Am I missing something?" asked Kate, clearly confused
"Maddie has had a thing for my brother since god knows when"
"Hey, I don't have a thing for your brother, I just think he's cute" she said in defense.
"Yea right" said Alexandria sarcastically.
"Honestly!" exclaimed Maddie
"Well, if we're going to my place, let's get moving"
The 3 girls went on their way towards the Rogers' loft.
