Curse or gift

Chapter 3

As I was long in my train of thought, I was interrupted by a girl that said to me,
"hey if you want to sit here, the seat is open."
" Oh uh sure, thanks," I replied to her. She looked like she would be somewhere in the average section of the popularity scale with me.
"I'm Emma by the way," she told me.
"Hi Emma, I'm Katherine but you can just call me Kate if you want. And thanks for pulling me out, I was a bit lost in thought back there."
Emma just giggles and tells me that it was fine and that she did it a lot too.
"Hey, I've got an idea! How about, we be friends so that we can help pull each other put of our lost thoughts so that we don't look like total loonies jut standing there and staring into space." We laughed. We talked and Emma explained to me stuff to expect at my new school. Maybe it won't be as hard to make friends as I thought.
