The next day Halley woke up early and walked to school. It
was unusually bright and sunny this morning
she thought. Her 1st class English Ms. McDonald
had asked them to write a one page summary about
what they did over the summer. They each had to say at least
one thing they did standing up and
presenting to the class. When it was Halley’s turn she said
she took her dog Sparky for walks and went
to the beach with her family. Brittney was in English class
with Halley. She said she and her twin brother
were C. I. T.s at
Botanoilles Day Camp. Halley remembered that that was the camp she had wanted
to
work but it was too expensive for her parents. Halley had
been dreading lunch time since 5th period but
it came and Halley didn’t know where to sit let alone who to
sit with. The cafeteria was crowded as she
scanned any possible places to sit. She was about to make up
her mind to eat alone when someone was
calling her name. She turned to see Brittney beckoning her
to join them at her table. Halley went over
and sat down next to her. Brittney introduced her to her
friends Sophie and Kyra. Sophie was tall with
light green eyes and dirty blond hair. Kyra was tan with short brown hair tyed back
in a ponytail and
pretty blue eyes. They smiled at her and Halley smiled back.
For the rest of lunch they were talking
about Halley’s class schedule and Halley found out that
Brittney’s twin brother John who was blond
haired and blue eyed like her was in her math class. Halley
bid Brittney, Sophie, and Kyra good bye as
she went to chemistry on the third floor. By the end of the
day she walked home smiling at the fact that
she had found a group of nice girls to hang out with. She
was pleased that she would be able to hang out
with the popular girls. Her parents were happy for her as
well. That evening she received a phone call
from her best friend Jennifer. She wanted to find out all
about her school and how she liked it in Florida.
Halley told her it was nice but pretty hot out here.
Jennifer said she missed her. Halley said she missed
her to. Halley asked her how Tammy and Kathy were doing.
Jennifer said they were find and wants
Halley to come out and visit her sometime. Halley promised she
would when she could. Halley cuddled
with Sparky and told him that things may turn out better
then she thought they would. It was 11:00 at
night. She usually went to bed at 9:30 but her parents
understood.
