Back to Alana's point of view:
My first day at my new school was alright. It turns out Lizzy does have other friends and they are all so nice and welcoming. When I got home I had to tell my mum all about it even though she was texting her friend the entire time....

I head to school for my second day. I don't know why but I really want to know more about this Callum Wood guy. I know that one of Lizzy's friends thinks he's the most amazing person the has ever lived. And then another girl got jealous when Lizzy told her he sat next to me. (Idiots)

Lizzy is waiting for me at my locker or 'box' by the look of it with two cups of coffee "one for you" oh danget I hate coffee but I can't be rude "Oh thanks Lizzy you shouldn't have do you need money for it?" "oh no its yours what do you have first period?"

I check my Timetable First Period Cooking oh that's right I do cooking as an elective Lizzy isn't in that class. "Cooking" I say "Have fun" she runs off before I can ask where the room is. I manage to find it which is some sort of miracle.

The cooking classroom has benches which are set up like mini kitchens, I see the teacher looking at some sort of cook book and so I walk over to her. "Hi I'm Alana the new girl" she looks up from her book and smiles "Hi Alana I'm Mrs Brabble well you have come on a great day we are all cooking French Toast!" "Yay" I say "Now let's get you set up with a cooking partner I knows there's one boy without a partner...ahh here he is" She Gestures for someone to come over.A boy figure appears next to me "Callum this is your new partner Alana"

CALLUM why did I have to get CALLUM!! He turns to me and holds out his hand "Alana" he says all fancy "hii" I say did I have to sound all pathetic.  Mrs Brabble hands me the recipe card and I follow Callum to our work bench.

When we arrive their he Turns to me "Can I see that please?" It takes me a second to realise he's talking about the recipe card I hand it to him a little too fast. "Thanks" he says. He starts to read it and so I wait. He looks back at me "Can you get 2 eggs from over there please" he gestures to the bench which has now been set up with the ingredients. "Sure thing" I say He gives me a confused look "American?" he says "Yes I just came here". "Oh yeah you sit next to me in English right?" He says with a half-smile. "Yep that's right" I turn to get the eggs, at least he smiles.

I return with 2 eggs and he heads off to get the other ingredients. when he returns he sees me waiting. "you can crack the eggs if you'd like?" Oh shoot I must look like an idiot with 2 eggs doing nothing. My face turns bright red again like it did yesterday. He looks like he's just made a huge mistake "I.. I.. I I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you feel all embarrassed". Crap he noticed "Oh no sorry it's just hot in here" I say geez is that the best I can come up with? "Ok its ok for me just wait until the stove comes on" he says with a chuckle. Is he laughing at me?

We are halfway through cooking the French toast I decide that this could me my big opportunity to find out his deal. He is setting up the nobs on the stove and I step up beside him. "So you like cooking?" I ask, probably a stupid question. "Yeah me and my mum used to cook together at her restaurant" He takes a deep breath. "your mum owns a restaurant that's cool" He turns to me then loos back at the stove "ah yeah she used too" his voice sound a bit shaky.

Oh no. I take a deep breath "what happened to it?" He gets the pan out of a cupboard a places it on the stove "oh well you see it had to close down because...well. she wasn't able to manage it anymore" He looks really sad now I get the feeling that his mum is dead I don't want to ask I feel like he might cry "oh well that's a shame" I say while giving him a somewhat smile. "Can you keep an eye on this I need to go to the toilet" Oh no please don't say I have made him want to cry in the toilets. I nod and he walks off the tell Mrs babble. This poor boy I wonder if anyone else know this I don't wants to tell anyone just in case. I need to find out more about this boy he seems 'lost'.
