Chapter 122: Showing the New Guy Around

Melody's POV:

Abby and Zach fall into step either side of me as we make our way towards the history department.

"I can't believe Miss took my phone," I complain.

"You'll get it back after school," Abby retorts.

She's used to this. I lose my phone practically every day in Math class. She doesn't get it though. I had been in the middle of a really important, super long text when Mrs Partridge took it.

Glancing at the new guy, I think that I should probably make an effort to tell him stuff - you know, new school stuff - except I'm really not the girl for the task. They should have asked Abby. She's definitely quicker at making friends than I am.

It's not that I'm anti-social. I'm not. I just don't rush to befriend people. Ironically, that unwillingness to be friends with everyone has resulted in me being the most popular girl in the school, excluding the Sixth Form, because the seventeen and eighteen year olds have slightly more sense than their younger counterparts.
