"Here it is." Lydia said as she pointed towered the door in front of us.
"Have fun." She said. "I'll see you at lunch."
"Wait." I called out after her. Not really knowing why. "We don't have any classes together?" I asked her.
"No. You're a sophomore. Were all juniors, so I would say no?" She said as she popped her lips out as she looked at me.
"Okay then. I'll see you guys at lunch then." I said but she was already half way down the hall.
"By then." I said to myself.
I quickly walked into the room knowing that class had already started.
I walked in. Every person in the room turned to look at me. Some of them just seemed to be sizing me up, others were checking me out, and then there were a few who I could tell already decided did not like me.
"Can I help you?" The teacher asked me.
"Are you Mr. Finstock?" I asked.
"Yes and know is the part you tell me who you are and why you are in my class room?" He asked me very loudly. I could hear a few kids chuckle as I stood there in shock that a teacher would be so rude to a student they just met.
"I'm Thana Tomes. I'm the new student, from Boston." I told him.
He just looked at me like he had no idea what I was talking about it. So I walked over to him and handed him my schedule.
"It seems you're telling the truth. Take a seat. Anywhere would be nice. Just get out of the middle of my class room." He snapped at me.
I looked around and there were only two seats open one directly in the front row. The second was all the way in the back.
I quickly decided I wanted to be as far away as possible from this teacher so I walked all the way to the back of the class room and took the empty seat.
I quickly pulled out a pencil and my note book. I tried listening to what the teacher was talking about but I really could care less. Why would a sophomore need to take economics? So I just took to doodling in my note book.
"Your eyes are so cool." The girl sitting next to me said.
I turned to my left to look at who had just talked to me. There was a blond girl looking at me. She had light blond hair and big blue eyes. Her blue eyes stood out because of two things. One her pale skin and to the black make up the surrounded her eyes. Her entire eyelid was covered in black eye shadow and underneath her pretty blue eyes laid a thick layer of black eye liner.
She was also wearing all black. She had on tight leather pants that cut low. Starting rite underneath her hip bone. She was warring a black sleeveless vest that zipped up in the front. She left it open enough to expose her breast. It was easy to tell that she was not wearing a bra. It stopped short of her jeans resting just above her belly button. It was obviously meant to be worn over a shirt not as a shirt. She definitely had her own style. I liked it.
"Thank you." I said.
"I'm Izzy." She told me reaching out her hand for me to shake.
"Hi I'm Thana." I told her.
"I know." She said. "We don't get a lot of knew kids around here. People normally live and die in this town. Not many people move here." She told me.
"Izzy, knew girl." The teacher yelled out.
"Is there something you would like to share with the class?" He asked.
Everyone was now looking at us.
"I was just telling Thana here how much I love your class Coach." Izzy answered him.
There were a few chuckles from some of the other students.
"Very funny. If you don't start taking this seriously you will fail this class. Do you know what will happen if you fail this class?" He asked.
"I'll become a complete looser, fall into a dark depression and hang myself in a tree." She told him.
"Well I was just going to say you would be held back." He responded.
He was interrupted by the sound of the bell ringing.
"Thank god." I said as I gathered my things.
"Tell me about it. So what class do you have next?" She asked me.
I looked at my schedule.
"History with Mr. Yukimura." I told her.
"That's great. I have that class to and you'll get to meet Stella. She's my best friend. You'll love her. She's just like us." She told me as I fallowed her out of the class room.
I took one look back over my shoulder to see Choice as everyone calls him was staring back at me.
I could not help but smile as I fallowed her down the hall. She said that Stella was like us. The word us stuck with me. Maybe it won't be so bad here after all.
