Berhana Jones's 2 draft


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.
