170 Hard to Get?

Lina Liang stood like a bag of nerves in the corridor in the main school building.

She stood, not so discreetly, plastered against a metal row of lockers, and peering anxiously around the corner at a group of students huddling around young Julie Zheng.

On Julie's return she had become quite popular all of a sudden. All of her old classmates wanted to hear all about where she had been all this time and if the rumours were true?

"Julie, did you really live in Rome?" asked one young girl.

"Yep," Julie boasted, "And New York too."

"Whoaaa..." the kids chanted all looking impressed.

"I like your boots Julie," one girl said trying to suck up to the girl she used to bully, once upon a time.

Lina watched from afar, with a stupid smile on her face. Julie was just as she remembered; sassy and smart.
