******************

Sashas POV

I woke up happily knowing I would be able to talk to Johannah again. My smile turned to a frown when I saw the time which was 7:45 and I had to be ready by 8:15. I had half an hour.

I ran out of my room and quickly gulped down some breakfast. Then brushed my teeth, got into my boring uniform and put my lunch box in my bag. I was done with just minutes to spare.

“Sasha hop in the car honey” Mum called.

I just loved my mother she had kind green eyes like mine and brunette hair. So I concluded I must have got my auburn hair from my Dad. I felt really sorry for Johannah she can’t remember her mother, at least I think she doesn’t.

“Sure thing Mum” I called in reply. We went and hopped into the car and out seatbelt clicked into their holes in unison. Mum turned the key. Nothing happened. She tried again and nothing happened.

“S***” Mum swore.

“Sorry honey you might have to walk to school. And since my shift doesn’t start till 10:00 I don’t need to walk you. It really isn’t that far and the exercise will do you good.” She explained sympathetically.

“But Mum what about you?” I asked her.

“I can get Louanne to drop me off.” She told me reassuringly.

“Ok then. Love you.” I told her.

“Love you too honey, have a great day” she said as she kissed me on the cheek.”

“Bye Mum” I called.

“Bye” She called after me.

I started walking to school it really wasn’t that far only about one kilometre away. But I had to walk through town. As I walked past an alleyway I saw a familiar face.

“Johannah?” I managed to say as shockwaves ran through me making me shiver with fear.

Johannah’s normally excited bubbly face was now rather pale and her eyes had black lines under them. She looked up at me.

“Hi Sasha” she said weakly.

“Jo what happened to you” I asked gob smacked.

“Mum and Dad were fighting and Dad was gonna hit me so I ran for it.” She told me sadly.

I gasped.

“Well school starts in half an hour so we had better walk fast.” I said matter-of-factly. She stood up reluctantly and walked the rest of the way to school with me.

We arrived at school with five minutes to spare. Then I remembered that Johannah had no uniform, so I took her to the foyer and told the receptionist that Johannah needed a uniform just to borrow.

The lady about 57 years of age had short greying hair and piercing blue eyes that followed you everywhere you went. I don’t think she liked kids much but she showed us some spare uniforms anyway.

Once Johannah was dressed in the spare uniform we rushed to class as the bell was just about to ring.

I put my bag away and sit Johannah down next to me. Fredrick comes and sits down as well. Good thing the teacher wasn’t in the class because I really wanted to talk to him.

“Umm... Hi” I said a little nervous.

“Hi” he replied just as nervous.

“Fredrick is it?” I asked conversationally.

“Actually just call me Freddy I really hate the name Fredrick” he replied.

“Ok... Freddy” I said cheekily.

“So your name is Sasha isn’t it?” He asked casually.

“Uhh yeah” I answered.

“I think thats a nice name... Pretty” he complimented. I blushed profusely.

“Um... Thank-you” I said happily, no boy had ever said that to me before.

“You’re welcome it is the truth” he said a bit quieter. I opened my mouth to say thank you but the teacher walked in and I fell silent.

The rest of the day past with Freddy and I stealing glances at each other every ten minutes.

When the final bell went and we were out of the classroom when I was waiting for Johannah Freddy came up to me.

“Hi Sasha do you have a cellphone?” he asked.

“Yes, yes I do.” I answered.

“Can I have your number... Please?” he added.

“Sure” I said. We exchanged numbers and finished just as Johannah walked out of the classroom.

“Bye Sasha” He called as we walked away.

“Bye Freddy” I called as we went out the door.

Do you guys think of Freddy guys don’t you reckon he is a cutie? Yeah he is supposed to be that way. Anyway to the story. I just needed another interval he he (giggles nervously).

Sashas POV

I was still all lovey dovey when Johannah and I finally got home. I felt it best to take her to my house so she could call her mother from there. Plus I wanted my Mum to meet her. 

Mum usually gets home at 5:00 so we dawdled a bit and Johannah rang her mum to let her know she was at my place. Her Mum said she could stay the night. I knew it would be alright with my Mum if Johannah stayed the night.

We dawdled a bit more watching some T.V on our caveman television.

Then at 4:48 Mum walked through the door with two boxes of pizza. I could smell Meatlovers and Hawaiian, my two favourites. I introduced Johannah and then we started to eat.

I hungrily scoffed down six pieces while Mum and Johannah only had five each.

After dinner while we were all sitting at the table I started on the subject of Johannah and me.

“Mum do you reckon Johannah and I look very alike?” I asked quizzically.

“Yes I noticed that” Mum answered.

“But did you notice that she has the same birthmark as me? If you can even call it a birthmark” I said in a more quizzical tone. Mum looked as though she had something to say.

“Well I said... I’m waiting” I said tapping my foot and crossing my arms.

“Well I suppose I should explain” Mum started.
