Fitting in

Finding friends

I walked in class and I could feel the 29 confusing eyes just gawking at me and made me feel really nervous and awkward at the same time. "You must be Francis"i looked her with a nervous look "yes" I said. she looked at me and smiled "take a sit please miss tori I walked down the Isles looking for a good seat so I don't have to sit next to a dude who hasn't showered in days. I tried and tried but I had to sit next to a guy that I couldn't see very well but I thought cool just another jerk that was like the worst moment of my life because all I would hear was them joking and talking about people talking about me probably. I stumbled to my seat on the other side of the classroom hoping nobody just saw me trip over and bash my knee on the table leg. I sat my butt and rubbed my knee to my surprise I got jabbed in the back by an elbow "sorry" a sympathetic voice said. I turned round just to be bewildered by the sight of a beautiful face by my surprise he was the jock that I was gawking at in the parking lot, I couldn't believe it. "Don't worry" I said facing him he look at me and stuck out his hand and I took it "hi I'm Dani, Dani Edward Hitchcock, nice to meet you" I looked at him and smiled "nice to meet you to, I'm Franchesca tori bonswaila but you can call me Francis" I looked into his eyes and saw then glisten I saw his smile it was so nice and then I looked at his cheek bones they are so good and oh my gosh he's staring at me he probably wondering why I'm staring at his eyes and looking at his smile and most probably wondering why I was look at his cheek bones "um" he looked really insecure "I'm sorry" "no no it's okay " I finally looked away and stared at the electric board the teacher ushered me up to the front and took my referral pages and look me up and down observing me as she was smiling as she handed me back my papers "wow you've done all this" I knew she was talking about all A student a and helped in the cafeteria every Tuesday lunch where you would probably think kids would laugh but actually at my school everyone supported you whatever your choices were I also worked in the local gymnastic centre working with really talented kids that had loads of potential to go far and be part of one of the very best teams that America has seen and all this I couldn't even believe that it was put on my referral papers I didn't even ask and I did all this with the goodness of my heart. She sent me back to my seat with a smile on her face I sat down "what did she want" Dani asked with a smirk on his face and I knew he was persistent to get it out of me so I burst "oh she just wanted to see my referral papers. He snatched my papers out of my hands and he started to flick through the pages reading every word that my old high school said about me and I know he's just going to look at me with a straight face and then laugh out his guts at what those paper has to say about me "wow Francis you did all this single handedly without any I don't want to do it nothing wow and your a straight A student that is impressive I have to give it to you" sounding generally bewildered by the fact that I did that all by myself and without any help everyone seems really surprised. The bell went to say that it was lunch I got out of my seat and put my papers back in my bag I headed out the door to find I didn't know where and how to get there "oh hey Francis what you doing" I turned round to see dani waving at me I wanted to run and quickly ask him where's the cafeteria. "hey do you know how to get to the cafeteria Francis" his crackling voice came to me " no can you take me please dani" "sure come with us" he pointed at group of his friends that looked really nice and really polite. I got there and they all welcomed me and patted me on the back and I got on really well with them they made me feel like I actually belong. We got to the cafeteria and I ordered cheesy fries with a cheese and ham with tomatoes and lettuce with a little Mayo "what are you getting Luna" wondering why she was hovering over the cheesy fries and hasn't picked them up yet " um I think I'll get a curry and a soda and an apple" "where's Dan Luna" "I think he's over there on his cell with his dad because he needs to decide where he is going to spend the holidays with this year bust it's kind of clear he's going to pick his dad because one he's loaded and two he hasn't left him all alone since he was like five years old to go to clubs and go frolicking with all the men and three his dad has been like the best dad anyone could wish for I sometimes wish my dad was like that nice and doesn't care what's it about he will always listen to your problems even on his bad days" wow that came out quickly for a boy that I've only know like day" Dani came over and started to run his fingers through his hair like he was really stressed we didn't even have to ask "have you told gran the situation, you don't mind me calling you fran do you" "no not at all it kind o of makes a change with everyone calling a name that seems really long but half the name that it used to be, so back to you so you know what your going to do yet you know with your mom and you dad yet" "yeah but I've just got to find a way to get past the alcohol to tell her what's going to happen because if I spend another holiday with my mom I'll probably come back an zombie or something because she'll just go out to the clubs with her pathetic friends and party hard whilst I'm in doors on thanks giving wondering what to do with myself" I felt really sorry for the boy I really do not having a real mom that cares would be dreadful but I'm just thankful he was able to talk about it and I really want me to be a really a good friend.
