the new girl

Lucia was early and still had another 20 minutes before school would even start. She would go and look for a quiet place where she could smoke. She found a corner behind the building where she thought she was alone and lit her cigarette inhaling the smoke. Well she thought she was alone. After she had finished about the half of her cigarette she was interrupted by an old man who turned out to be the caretaker. "Young lady. I doubt that you're old enough to smoke. In addition to that, are you on school property."

Lucia shrugged "Why would it be your problem how old I am it's not like you actually care. Or do you?" She questioned the man with a raised brow. He was shocked at the carefree answer of the girl "Someone is confident? But yeah you're right I couldn't care less but it's in my duty to tell you: you can't smoke here. I probably should tell you that smoking is not good for you and you shouldn't do it all but you wouldn't listen to me anyways so just find another place okay?"

The girl smiled and nodded to the man. By the time he was finished lecturing her she finished her cigarette and left to head to her first class. Lucia started getting nervous. She checked her phone one last time and disappeared into the building. Due to a list she received over email some days before she knew that her first class would be history. After struggling a little to find the right room she entered the class and sat down on a free chair in the last row. Two Minutes after her, the teacher entered the room as well.

He directly spotted the new girl and gave her a short smile after he ordered a brown haired boy to go this chair. "Good morning to everyone. As you may have already noticed we have a new student in our class. Would you mind to introduce yourself?" The whole class turned around to look at new girl.

Lucia sighted but stood up. "Hey. I'm Lucia Ramirez. I moved here with my family after living in Yucatan for some years. Nice to meet you all." After she finished the other students started whispering until the teacher cleared his throat to make the class go silent. A dark skinned boy still had his eyes on Lucia when she sat back down awkwardly. The boy gave her a short smile and turned around to focus on the teacher.

The lesson couldn't take any longer. But it was a good start for Lucia she already knew a little about the topic and could take part in the discussions. When the bell finally ended the lesson Lucia packed her things together and wanted to leave. "Ms. Ramirez. Could I speak to you for a second?" The teacher who seemed in general really friend asked. "Yeah of course. What's the matter?" Lucia answered.
"It's good to see that you adapt to the lesson this fast and I just wanted to appreciate that. It must be hard to move in the middle of the school year but if you keep your work up like you've showed today you will have now problems in getting a good resume."
