Chapter 3

"Oh, good morning Ms.Flores. This is Phoebe Morning. She's a transfer from Corpus Cristi." Ocean replied. "Hello Phoebe welcome to our drama department." "Thanks" I answered with a smile on my face.

When everyone was seated Ms.Flores made me go to the front of the class to introduce myself. I was nervous because I didn't know how the students would react to me. "Hello my name is Phoebe Morning, and I am a transfer from Corpus Christi." Once I said that some students were surprised to hear that I was from Corpus Christi; while others didn't seemed to bother. When I had gotten everyone's attention, Rachael had walked right in she had this big smile on her face.

As soon as Rachael walked in everyone immediately turned around, jaws were to the floor. To everyone's suprise, Rachael was holding several boxes of cupcakes!! Once Rachael had set down her backpack, everyone shoved their way to her. Everyone eager to receive a cupcake, but before the students could take action, Ms.Flores had harshly asked what was the meaning of the disruption.

Everyone turned around and went back to their seats. "Rachael, why did you bring cupcakes?" Ms.Flores said a little bit nicer. "Because it's your birthday! And I wanted to welcome Phoebe to the school!" Rachael answered. Ms.Flores' face lit up excited and wanting to cry. "Thank you Rachael... now everyone go get a cupcake, and say thank you to Rachael."

"Thank you Rachael!" the class said happily and eager to get a cupcake. After everyone was seated I continued to tell them about myself. "... I have been involved with theatre arts since I was 6 years old. Ever since then I fell in love with acting, dancing, and music."

Everyone was astonished by my story. Some students asked me questions about my life. While others were to busy burring their faces in the cupcakes. It was about fifteen more minutes of class. Me, Ocean, and Rachael were talking and laughing. I soon realized that Rachael was the second girl with the same schedule as me and Ocean.

All three of us were excited. Not only because we had the same schedule, but.... because we would be spending a lot of time together. There was only five more minutes of class. So Ms.Flores decided to let us out early. Me, Ocean, and Rachael were walking to lunch next. It wasn't crowded so we got our plates and sat down together.

As soon as the bell rang the cafeteria flooded with the upper classmen. It looked like the attack on Rachael with the cupcakes in theatre arts, but only 3x the cupcakes and 3x the people. So we decided to go outside and eat lunch there. It wasn't as packed as inside. It was decent... not too many people, and the sun shined brightly with a cool breeze. It was a beautiful day, and I was glad that we moved.

Before we knew it the bell rang again. And it was time for third period... algebra. I was nervous, but I didn't care what people said. So all three of us walked to algebra.
