CHAPTER TWO

My first week at school was boring since I was new in school and had no friends. But today felt great. We just finished biology class and I was leaving class to the cafeteria when I ran into a group of girls.

"This should be the new girl in class" said Aoife.

"She looks kind of different from the rest of us veterans" replied Dawn.

"Hi girls" I replied to the group standing my grounds in other not to be insulted by anyone. I was used to all of the charades because I was the queen bee back at school in Scotland.

"Hey she talks. Hi there, welcome to Indiana High School" replied Aoife who I noticed to be the loquacious one of the group.

"C'mon girls, be nice okay. That's not how you treat a guest nor a fellow girl" said Maeve.

"I'm Ursula from Scotland, it's nice to meet you" I said.

"Wow! I'm Maeve and this is Daphne my friend and I guess you have met my other two friends Aoife and Dawn".

"Yeah"

"We were on our way to the café and I see you're also headed the same way so why don't we all walk together". Daphne said

"That would be great. Thanks".

We walked together to the café were we found a round table and I went to serve myself from the counter when a very handsome macho guy came up to me. From a distance you could think he was an actor with that body, those manly legs and the dimples that showed when he smiled. Hmmh!! He wore a polo necked cloth with a nice cargo pant to go with. He waved at me and I blushed or at least I thought he was. I stopped looking at him as he walked up to me and kept serving myself. By the time I was through, he was at my side.

"Hi, I'm Zachary". He said stretching forth he's hand in a bid to shake me.

"Hey Ursula". I replied trying to move away after the returned handshake.

"Hey I'm not through. Just want to get to know you okay. I mean you know harm. I'm in my third year in Indiana High. I see you are new here and you don't know me". He said standing in my way.

I wondered if that was a statement or a question so I said "I don't know you. Just meeting you though" I am in 8th grade and yeah I'm new."

"Wow that's cool so you're a newbie, why don't you have lunch with my guys and I on the other side. Then I can show you around when you're through".

"No thanks, I'm with some people here" I said pointing to the group of girls starring wide-eyed at us. After that I left he's side and walked to our table knowing I was going to be asked question if not from anyone but from the loquacious Aoife.

"Hey, what was that all about" asked Aoife curiously looking at me.

I knew that was coming so I said "It was nothing".

"Really¬¬?" She said.

"He is a cute guy and every girl's catch in school". Dawn said.

"Don't care. I got nothing to do with relationship" I replied thinking of how to get away from everyone.

"Can we leave now" said Daphne and I was happy to be saved.
