Chapter 3

Wow.. just wow. The grocery stores here were huge. Like seriously they were really huge. The stores in India are like nothing compared to these. Not degrading it or anything. I loved it there too. I mean I did live there for 7 years.

Just as I was about to take the last thing I needed from the rack, my stupid clumsy self collided with someone and all our things fell down.

"Ohh shit I am sorry. I did not notice you there. I was just looking the other way. I'm really sorry. I just don't normally do it. I really am careful. I was just a little ner-" she kept rambling and I had to stop her.

"Hey hey it's fine . It's my mistake as much as it's yours" I say. She looks at me for a second and then speaks.

"Are you new here because I have never seen you before" she asks.

"Well yes. but Not exactly as I used to live here until I was 10. We just came last night"I reply.

"I am Amelia" she introduces herself

"And I am Sophia" I reply back.

"Do you attend school here"she asks curiosity clear in her voice.

I could tell that she was a good kid so I answered. I mean I'm not supposed to talk to strangers and all. Right?.

"Yes I am supposed to start my senior on Monday"

"Omg do you go to Rosetown high. Because then we could be friends". She asks clearly excited

"Yes yes that would be great" I sighed, not exactly unimpressed by the idea I say. I may need new friends after all. No one beats by babe though. Ugh I'm missing Cassie already.

We exchanged our numbers and bid our good byes and left.

When I reached home I saw the clock and it is already 7 and it was dark outside. I am bored. like seriously what do you even do around here for fun. I mean I knew it was late and all but I really am very bored.

I thought maybe I could do a little digging about this place. And I did. I just found out a few basic facts about this place. But the high school I was going to attend was huge. Like it is massive huge. Compared to my old school.

And I found out that there was a diner near my house and a park. There was a mall but it was a little farther than the rest.

I believe that we were living in the decent part of the town.

Because all I could see were big houses. I felt like ours was one of the smallest ones around here.

Just as I was about to stop my research, I got a message from Amelia.

Do you wanna hangout tomorrow ~ Amelia

Yeah sure. What time ~ Sophia

We can have lunch at the diner near the grocery store ~ Amelia

Okay then I will see you tomorrow at 12 ~ Sophia.

It had been a long day and it was already 9. So I decided to call Cassie. She immediately picked up and started to ask random questions.

"Okay so how's the new place. did you make new friends. Did you have fun today. any new boyfriends I need to know about. or maybe crushes"

Ohh god I knew I had to stop her or else she never would.

"Cassie shut up. What is wrong with you stop rambling." She shut up at that. I laughed at her reaction cause it felt like a fish closing its mouth

"Okay yes the new place is nice. My new house is really huge I will send you pictures later. And yes I actually made a new friend when I went to the grocery store. God. even the grocery stores are so huge here.

Her name was Amelia and she goes to the same school which I am supposed to start on Monday. And it's like what been only a few hours since I've been here. And you are expecting crushes" I sigh and shake my head.

" Ohh okay-- WAIT! WHAT! Did you just say Monday. Because that is like day after tomorrow." She scoffed.

"Yes I said Monday. Mom says that I need to attend or else I will miss too many classes. And it has already started 2 weeks ago. so I have to go". I say

"Yeah. well good luck then. I am sure it's already late so sleep you need to get used to their time zone" she said worried

"Yeah yeah I will good night"

" Night" she said and hung up.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

I was woken up by the stupid alarm. Ohh. how much it sucks to be woken up in the morning. Doesn't this phone understand that sleep is sacred to me.

Well considering that you were the one that set the Alarm I don't know.

mocked my subconscious.

See even my own body is against me today. I then realised that I had to get ready to go out with Amelia. And I frantically tried to get up I did not see that my legs were tangled with the sheets and I heard a thud sound. Yes that was me you guessed it right. My clumsy ass decided to fall down today. That too this early in the morning.

Well that hurt. I looked at the time and it was 9 and I had to meet her at noon. So I had almost 2 hours to get ready. I got up and took a bath. I was hungry. And as if right on cue my stomach growled.

I skipped down to see that everyone was happily eating without me... They have just violated the Sophie law. How could they eat without me.

"You all do realise that you have violated the Sophie law right" I ask

They all just laugh in response.

"Ohh shut up and just come and eat" Mason replied stuffing food in his mouth.

After breakfast I did the dishes and it was already 11:30 and I had to leave.

" Mom I made a friend yesterday she goes to the school which I am going to attend. And we decided to meet for lunch at the diner nearby so can I go." I asked my mom.

"Of course you can. Go make more friends." She encouraged me.

As I got out of the house I checked for the location of the diner and it was only like 15 minutes away. As I was looking at the phone a car stopped right in front of me. God what was I thinking standings on the road. I could have been killed

I moved back and apologized to that person. I couldn't exactly see his face due to his raybans and cap. And the sun was shinning very bright today. As I moved away he drove off.

Wow what a guy he did not even react but nevertheless. I began walking to my destination. And I actually wanted to be early for once cause I knew that everyone weren't Cassie.

I reached the diner 5 minutes early. A waitress came over to me.

"Welcome to pops diner."

"I need a table for two" I asked her

"Okay well follow me"

I went along with her and she took me to a table beside the glass wall. As ti sat down I heard the bell ding. I turned around to see Amelia walking towards me. She smiled kindly at me and I returned it.

"Hey Sophia"

"Amelia".

I was going to speak again when the waitress came again interupting us.

"What would you like to have??".

"Well I have no clue and you know this place so just order something for the both of us" I ask Amelia.

"Okay then we will have two cheeseburgers with fries and two chocolate milkshakes." She ordered and turned towards me.

"I am sorry I ordered so much . I really love my food" she apologized. "Mostly" she added.

"Nah it's fine I was just surprised someone could eat as much as I can " I laughed. And she soon followed.

"Well tell me more about the school" I ask her with curiosity

" Hmm.. I think it's pretty much like every school with the stereotypes. The badboys , the mean girls and the nerds, the jocks. The cheerleaders. These are all common but one thing I learnt is to not not judge them by their stereotype assumption." She says.

"Well okay. That's nice" I say

"Okay you said that you lived here right" she asks and I humm in response.

"Well do you remember anyone from around here." She asks.

"Yeah I kinda do. I did have two close Friends back then Victoria Paige and Alexander James."I say

"WHAT.. you were friends with Victoria and Alexander. Well good luck trying to talk to them again." She exclaimed.

"What do you mean"

"I mean that Victoria is like the bitch of our school I am sure she has slept with the entire boys population of the school.

And Alexander well he is another story. He was a good kid when I came here but a year ago when we were sixteen something changed. He became a completely different person. He began drinking, smoking and sleeping with almost all the girls. AND DO NOT WORRY I AM NOT ONE OF THEM" she explained in her rant.

Well wow... I never expected that both the friends I previously had were gone. I wonder what happened to Alex that changed him. Suddenly the waitress came with our food interupting my thoughts.

"Yeah well at least I made new friends now" I told Amelia.

"That you did. Okay well tell me about yourself and how is it in India. Do you have a lot of friends.. maybe a boyfriend?" she wiggled her eyebrows at me.

I laughed at that and told her how my life was back in India and about Cassie. I am sure she and Cassie would be really good friends.

We spent hours talking and making jokes and we just had fun.
