Somebody New

Chapter 8

Amelias P.o.v
*Next day at school*

I was just walking up the stairs towards where we stand on the pavilion where my group and I stand before the bell rings for school..
As I was walking I could see my friends already standing in a circle and laughing I smiled a little at least that was back to normal

I was walking towards them when Luc noticed me said something to Liam and ran over and gave me a tight hug lifting me off the ground a little
"Ok, ok Luc your crushing me!" I said while laughing
He held me a second longer then let me go
He smiled "are you sure you want to be at school today I mean after what happened at Kate's house..."
"Yeah, Im sure it's the first day, and Im fine don't worry about me it's just a little bump on the head!"
"Amelia you were probably out for more than 20 minutes everybody was so worried!"
I grimaced, if I thought of that night it was such a blur and my head was still throbbing a bit

"Luc I'm fine" I said trying to convince him and myself
"So what do you think of these grade 8's?"
"They are so rude! One had already been in two fights with the matrics!"
"No way!" I said a bit loudly
Some of the other boys around us turned and looked at me, Luc glared at them before turning toward me again
"What happened there?"
"Remeber last term, when you were absent before holidays uh yeah this guy Ethan and I got into a fight and he still hasn't forgiven me yet"
"Luc! What was it about?"
"Uh, nothing" he said and looked away
"Luc?"
"Its nothing don't worry about it.." he said with a smile
Before I could ask any more questions Caren ran up and hugged me tightly
"I was so worried! When your mom came to pick you up you still seemed so out of it like you couldn't focus on anything!"
"I'm ok now Caren I just needed to rest and have my mind shut off for more than a few hours" I said while looking around and finding Kate and Alec speaking alone
"Hey Caren how long has Alec been here?"
"Oh since Kate arrived this morning" Caren said with a sly smile
"Am I missing something?"
"Uh I think it's pretty obvious... we think Alec like Kate!" She let out a little ear piercing squeel that had my ears ringing
"We?"
"Oh yeah the whole group has seen how he hangs around Kate and how he looks at her in class it's a mystery that she hasn't noticed yet I mean she's always so alert really!"
I looked over at Kate again but Alec had left and she started walking toward us
I smiled a bright smile.. to bright to be honest and she returned a sad one
I didn't know what the sadness was for but I was at least glad that she was even looking at me at all after what happened on Saturday I didn't know what to expect
I didn't have my phone on Sunday because me mom said that I needed rest and wasn't allowed to have it while I was "resting"
She come over and hugged Caren and I and I felt a little bit relieved because we could actually carry on with normal

"Hey"
"Hey, Amelia are you ok? Im so sorry for what happened on Saturday I shouldn't have talked to you like that.."
"Its ok... Kate it wasn't your fault I ruined the night by not looking where I was going and falling" I looked down a bit embarrassed
"Its ok Amelia but are you ok?"
"Yeah, yeah Im ok just a little sore"
"Oh ok well that good then right?"
"Yeah..."
I said while arriving where we were standing
"Hey, hey guys!"
"Amelia!" Liam shouted and hugged me
"Are you ok?"
"Ok everyone I'm okay I'm feeling okay and there is no need to worry about me." I said as I put down my bag

I staggered a little bit and Luc caught me
"I'm fine." I said
"Thank you Luc"
"Bae!" Mae called out and hugged me tightly
I laughed a bit and hugged her back
Its good to be back..
The bell rang and we all went into the sports hall to get our register classes and our schedules for the year
They called out names and I was glad to hear that Caren, Kate and Josh was in my class this year

We all headed out to our register classes
And we were put into alphabetical order like always and I luckily sat at the back and I could talk to Caren if I wanted to
Kate sat right in front of the class and there was an open seat behind her... I didn't know if that was on purpose or not...
Josh sat behind Caren and Alec sat in front of me
The other boys and girls were all in different classes and that was a little discouraging because I really hoped that Luc could be with us this year but obviously not

The bell rang again and we all went on to English in the same class we were in last year with the same teacher again
I luckily again sat at the back of the classroom with no one sitting next to me
Ma'am always moved me away from the window but I always moved back so that I could look out of the window into the forest next to the class
We were just starting the class when ma'am noticed me sitting next to the window
"I'm not even going to try with you this year again Amelia"
I rolled my eyes she was always picking on me!

"Yes ma'am" I said with a sweat smile "whatever you say" I said under my breath so that she couldn't hear me only the people closest to me could hear and they snickered and I smiled again
Ma'am was starting to write on the board again something about language and what we were going to learn about this year
I zoned out because English was one of the subjects that come easily to me
Ma'am paused and somebody come into the class everyone stood up and greeted the principle when he walked in...
I was still looking out of the window when he said that we could sit down so I sat quickly
"Good morning grade 9's you have a new student in your class this year" I looked up sharply somebody was stamding behind him
"Everybody say hello to Caleb Stark"
