As the weeks passed on by Halley had gotten to know all
of the people in her class
really well. In all of her classes she had spoken to
everyone at least once. She was
becoming a social butterfly. However in math class Halley
really liked Brian.
Everyone called him a nerd because he knew too much and
was too weird. Halley
didn’t believe that being really smart made you weird.
Whenever Halley went into
math class she looked at Brian and smiled and he smiled
back. They sat next to each other so they
would always lapse into conversation
when the teacher wasn't in the room yet. On some occasions
Halley even ate lunch with him because he never had lunch with anyone. He told her that he didn't
like being nerdy. He wanted people to like him and once he even cried. He told Halley that she was
the one person in the school that he felt comfortable speaking to. Halley especially enjoyed hanging
out with Brittney, Sophie, and Kyra. They talked about anything mostly school related stuff. She
liked Kyra especially because she had a great sense of humor. Whenever she said something funny
the four of them would burst out laughing and couldn't stop. Halley hated having to wave good
bye to them at the end of the day. Besides seeing her friends at school Halley loved nothing more
than coming home to her mom and dad and Sparky, her puppy. Every night she called, emailed,
and texted her friends. Her parents only allowed this because she agreed to be in bed before
her curfew and she was only allowed a few minutes. This was because if she stayed up too late she
would be real cranky in the mornings and be a drag on her parents. The other reason was because
they said growing children need a decent amount of sleep each night.
