***********

Chloe's hand was the only sensation that I was having, beside the loud thumping of my heart. For Pete's sake slow down!

I don't even get this much nervous during exams!

"Beth!!" Chloe's voice pulled me out of my thoughts.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Will you stop shaking? You are making me shake as well." Her voice was mere higher than a whisper but the sarcasm was clearly visible.

"Fine... Sorry.!" I said pulling my hand out of her grip and folding them to my chest. "I was just feeling a little cold." I said trying to erase the fact that I was nervous. But that only earned me a look from Chloe that said- don't act smart with me .

"Fine just a little nervous." I sighed in defeat.

Chloe chuckled. "Ah-hmm." She cleared her throat. "Elizabeth Jones getting nervous by school?" She pulled her hand to her chin, pretending to be in deep thoughts. "Never thought I would witness something like that." In reply I punched her hard on her arm.

"Ouch! That hurt!" She whined, rubbing the spot where I hit her.

"I guess it was meant for that." I said sarcastically.

Taking a look around I noticed that almost every eyes were on us. New comers--that was the feeling I was getting now. Few gazed, few whispered and few gawked. Avoiding the stares we were getting, me and Chloe followed Leo silently, who was given the duty to lead us to the office from where we could get our schedule.

The school was pretty big, just like the one in London, where we used to study.

I miss my old school. I miss Steve.

After receiving our schedule we were ready to head to our classes. Me and Chloe had two classes together. One, English Literature and another is P.E.

P.E. Agh!!! I should have talked with mom earlier to change my one specific subject , that I took just because Chloe was able to make me take that one thing in the starting of this year. If you ask me to spend the whole day in Library reading and studying I will happily agree to do that. But if you ask me to run a 100 metre track without tripping then that is something impossible thing to do for me. While its the vice-o-versa for Chloe. A day in Library ? Might be the worst nightmare for her but a whole day on field and court would be the the treasure to her.

"Hey man!" A voice greeted the person who had been with us all this time.

"Hey!" There was that short man hug between the two then the person finally noticed us.

"Oh Beth and Chloe..." There was a pause as the person noticed Chloe. " Hi..." He said looking at Chloe. But Chloe being Chloe, busy in her phone playing some bubble popper game clearly being ignorant to the fact that Parker just greeted her.

" Hi Parker." I said giving a light push to Chloe by my left elbow.

"Oh hey.. Parker." She said looking up finally noticing and giving me a look.

"Hi again." He said. There was a sudden glint in his eyes as he was looking at Chloe. Am I missing something here?

As I heard the bell I decided to better get off from this little meeting . "I think we should head to our classes." I said tugging Chloe with me as she and me both having literature class together.
