LOST in LOVE

Chapter 2

The bell rang, and Mandy stood up.

"Let's go, I want you to meet the rest of my friends!"Mandy said excitedly . I smiled.

"Help me up," I said, holding out my hands. Mandy laughed, and took both of my hands, and pulled me up off of the ground.

People started piling outside, when I bumped into someone. Who else but Eric, of course?

"Are you following me?"He asked as he winked.

"Please, why would I follow someone as pathetic as you?"

"Want me to go ahead?"Mandy asked me.

"No! I'm just leaving," I exclaimed. I glared at Eric, and followed Mandy to the lunch room. She looked around, then pointed at a

group of people.

"Those are my best friends! They 'll love you," She said, smiling. I smiled back, nervously , and followed her to her group of

friends. She sat down, and I sat down beside her.

"Who's this tasty looking lady ?"The only guy sitting at the table asked.

"Oh god, is he going to flirt with me too?" I asked, then quickly covered my mouth. "I'm so sorry , that came out way wrong,"

Everybody at the table, laughed. "What?" I asked.

"Don't worry , darling, I'm gay ."He said.

"Okay , thank god," The table was quiet for a few seconds. "Once again, came out way wrong!" I cried. Everybody laughed again,

and he grabbed and rubbed my hand.

"No worries. I'm Nate, by the way ." I smiled.

"Andy ," I introduced my self. Nobody looked at me like I was high. These people get me!

"I'm Paige,"The only other girl at the introduced herself.

"Nice to meet you," I smiled.

The pager in the cafeteria went off.

"Andrea Michaels, report to the office."

I stood up, as Nate and Paige looked at me, confused.

"Her real name's Andrea. She prefers Andy ,"Mandy said.

"Ohhh,"They said in unison.

I finally found my way to the office, after getting lost a few times. There was a cop talking to the secretary , and looked over as

soon as I walked in. I slowly walked in.

"Andrea?"The cop asked.

"Andy ," I corrected him.

"Alright, well Andy , we need to talk,"

My heart starting beating faster and faster, I was scared it was going to pop right out of my chest. Was I caught for

skipping class? Was I getting expelled? Or worse, executed?!

I followed the cop into the hallway , a million different things going through my mind.

"It's about your step mother,"He announced. My ey es nearly popped out of my head. "Y our step mother, Amber, over dosed on

drugs.. She is currently in an unstable condition in the hospital.. and will be going to rehab, when in 'stable' condition. We know

you don't have any family left, so you will be stay ing with your mother's friend, Angie."

I wasn't shocked, I was actually quite happy . Amber was constantly doing drugs, and I was happy to be living in a safer

environment.. hopefully .

"Y our mother's friend, Angie, offered to take you out of school early today , so you can get to know around her house a little bit,

is that okay ?" I nodded. "Great, she's the school, waiting for you. Good luck."
