Chapter 9 ¿Hola?

"Berries! Hi! Lol so much enthusiasm:')  today I'm going to talk to you about ecology and our planet. I think this is a very important topic, that isn't addressed as much as it should be, at least most of the time.

I'm sure a few of you have seen the Greenpeace advert that states, that in 2016 an area of one of the ice areas in Earth (South or North Pole or even Antarctica) is going to be protected thanks to 7 million signatures! That is soooo amazing! Finally people are starting to remember this planet isn't only ours so we have to take care of it.

I think everyone should try their best to reduce their energy usage, and try their best to turn off things that aren't being used.

That's all for today!

I have no idea what lesson Marco is in but I have his phone number so I decide to text him.

Hey! I need to talk to you :) can we meet up after school at the park? Is 5 ok?

He is in lessons so I don't expect him to answer any time soon. I also have lessons so I go to English as quickly as I can.

I normally love English but today I have a lot on my mind. My teacher tells me off 3 times and nearly gives me detention, if it wasn't for me answering her question right.

Ali and I are walking towards our lockers when Marco taps my shoulder.

"Are you ready?" He asks. It's remarkable how good his English is. Yes, he has an Italian accent but his grammar is great.

"Ooh where are you going?" Ali asks wiggling her eyebrows up and down.

"The park. You wanna come?"

"Nah. I have studying to do. But have fun!"

"Thanks." Both Marco and I say at the same time, smiling at each other. We walk out of school and he takes my hand. I blush even though we're just friends.

Nate is standing with his friends in a group, watching us as we walk past. He immediately hugs Mackenzie around the waist and pulls her to him. She was talking to one of her brainless friends so she complains at the start, then starts kissing him.

I look away quickly pointing the way to the park to Marco.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?" Marco asks and I suddenly remember him next to me.

"It's about Mike." I say quickly. "He's been acting weird lately. Like, after the fight he's trying to seem tougher and he wears a lot of black and leather."

"I heard about the fight a lot lately. Everyone's talking about it."

"Exactly, his attitude worries me. I don't know what to do."

"Give it time Skye. He'll come around at some point and everything will go back to normal."

"You're right. So how have your first days here been?"

"Good, but it's been harder than I thought to make friends. At least I met you."

"I feel the same way. I already feel like I've known you forever." We talk for a while longer before I have to leave to get home. "I'll see you on Monday in school."
