Chapter 11

The second class I had was Geography. I entered the almost empty class and made my way to the second seat on the third row.

Sitting down, I scanned my surrounding; the black walls and bright lights already made the room look interesting. There was a large poster of the map of the world, other things concerning geography were posted on the walls. I also noticed the projector that was directly above me, my eyes went to the desk in front of the class and I saw a girl in glasses walk in with two other girls.

They stopped in front of the desk, talking about something that was obviously serious, due to their facial expressions and the number of things they were saying at the same time. The girl in glasses started spinning an atlas on the table distractedly while talking...

I shift my gaze.

A sharp-looking blondie in shiny black heels and a bag covered in black marbles walked in. I could tell, she was a very important person from the way people became alert due to her presence. She walked in my direction, she was probably going to sit beside me, but I was alert myself when she stopped in front of my desk with a smile on her face. The scent of her perfume invaded my personal space.

"Hello, new student! Welcome to Golden Apple high. You know, where you are seated right now is where I normally sit in this class. As you can see it is the table at the center of all the other tables." she said gesturing with her hands. I look around and notice that the tables were arranged in five rows and three columns, I had sat in the third row and the second chair which was right at the center.

When she found out that I now understood she continued.

"I am going to let it pass since you're a new student and you are also very cute," she pinched my chicks a little. was I cute?? I personally hate liars, even though I am sometimes one.

I don't know if she expects me to say anything because she just stands there with the same smile on her face.

"Umm...okay."

"mm." she looked away and walked past me, her shoe announcing to the whole class the rhythm of her footsteps. She sits down behind me.

Another girl sat beside me, and a boy with glasses at my other side. Soon enough, the teacher entered the filled-up class. He greeted us and some of us responded, including me.

I want everyone to quickly open their textbooks to page 107, we are going to be having a study session together. Just great! I didn't have a textbook.

I felt a little tap at my back and before I could turn, a textbook was stretched to me. I was sure it was the previous girl because of the beautiful and great manicured hand that gave me the textbook, and besides, she was the one sitting behind me. Thank goodness, the teacher didn't tell me to introduce myself, but after class, he smiled and told me I am welcomed.

It was break time, in the cafeteria. I held the textbook I had used in history class to my chest, I wasn't able to give it back early. I was being very conscious of my movement, to avoid any embarrassment. Everyone noticed me because my outfit made me stand out. Everyone was in uniform, the girls had a blue flare skirt that had white stripes, a white top, and a blue blazer. the boys had just blue trousers, a white top, and a blue blazer. Not everyone wore their blazers, some had it folded in two and on their shoulder, some girls tied it on their waist, some held it too.

I went to the line, a redhead girl in glasses with a clipboard and a sling bag looked up. she stood beside the line, waiting for some other girls.

"Hello, new girl! I am Chloe. She quickly placed her pen on the clipboard, and brought out her hand."

I shook her. "I'm Sophie, Sophie Donovan."

"Okay, nice!"

"Umm, do you by any chance know who..." I opened the textbook, but there was no name. I opened the second page...

"-that textbook belongs to?" Chloe said.

I nod my head."yes."

"Yeah! It's Mackenzie's-"

"Hello!"

''Hello."

''Hey! I responded. The two girls Chloe was waiting for stood beside me with excited faces.

"Okay, I"ll introduce," Chloe said.

It was my turn, so I quickly got the exact thing the girls had on their trays. when I was done and turned to leave the line, the person behind me waved with a hello; I smiled and hello'ed back.

I turned back to the girls, "Hope this is good because I am trusting you guys," I said referring to the food on my tray.

The blond girl with pink highlights grinned. "It's great, I'll definitely recommend it. Right girls?"

"Yeah, right," They answered. They all had smiles on their faces, I smiled too.

We all walked to a table that they directed me to and we sat down.

"soooo, as I was saying!! Sophie, this is maxil and this," she turned to the girl with pink highlights, "Is crystal-"

"Amma crystal from the lost sea!" she said, widening her eyes.

"what?" said maxil, laughing. we were all laughing.

"Ignore her, she's crazy!" Chloe said, pushing Crystal's head playfully.

crystal laughed loudly as if confirming what Chloe said.

I watched in awe, an unrealized grin plastered on my face.

"Can we eat already, we have very little time left," maxil said, looking at a gold-colored watch on her wrist. maxil was obviously Korean, she looked it.

"Haven't you been eating already?" Crystal asked with her mouth full.

"Nope! Don't talk with your mouth full."

"Then I won't get to talk." Crystal answered, packing another fork full of spaghetti.

"Don't talk then!!" Maxil answered.

"That's why I'll never finish last. Unlike some people, that's talking." Crystal said, eying maxil with smiles on her face.

"Well...we'll see about t-hat." Maxil said with food in her mouth.

I detach my gaze.

Taking my time to eat my food, I looked at chole, who is almost done with her's. She shakes her head and smiles.

We all endup beating time with chole finishing first, maxil second, crystal third and I...well you know, last. The bell went like a minute after.

Crystal hails maxil so much, and maxil admits she feels insulted; Which they all laughed about.

Crazy!!
