The Timbers

Chapter 11

**Alana's POV**
Today we were going to tour some schools near the house. By 'we' I mean Tyler and I.

The first school we went to was Reigns Public School. Reigns was one of the biggest schools here, and all you here are stories from here, some are kind of scary, but then again I'm sure they've heard plenty of terrifying stories from my school so I can't judge.

We walked through one set of the four sets of doors there were at the entrance of the school.

"You ready?" Tyler asked
"Yep" I said looking down nervously
He laughed and put his arm around me
"I've got ya"

I wasn't nervous to tour the school, I was just nervous about thinking of starting at a new school.
We walked into the main office and Tyler being the Friendly Ferret he his went up and talked to the receptionist

"Hi I'm Tyler Timbers and this is Alana, we had an appointment to tour the school today with Principal Keeling"
"Okay he is in a morning meeting right now but he should be out shortly just take a seat over there." She said giving us a smile from her sweet wrinkled face. She was one of the old lady's that never really truly understood the concept of light make up, and just packed up all the pink blush she could manage on one spot of her cheeks making her look a bit clownish, but what's worse was the lipstick, it's as if she did it in a moving car without a mirror. It was very red and very messy, and last but not least she had very bright blue eyeshadow. She seemed sweet though.

Tyler and I were sat waiting for this Principal Keeling for about 10 minutes before he showed up.

"Hi I'm Principal Keeling sorry that took so long, why don't you follow me to my office" he said coming over and shaking our hands

We followed him to his office which had a big oak door and clean carpet, yep, I'm definitely not at my school anymore.

Tyler and I sat in these really nice velvet colored chairs across from Principal Keeling who was sitting in the nicest desk chair I've ever seen in my life.

"So Alana your thinking of moving schools is that right?" He asked
He asked me something. Okay I knew this would happen, I just have to talk to him he isn't weird or mean. I just have to say yes.
"Uh- y-yes" I stuttered.
He looked at me with a tiny speck of pity in his eye. He shouldn't pity me, I've given him no reason to pity me! I should pity him, he looks relatively young yet all his hair is white and gray.
"So tell me what classes do you like that way I can tell you more or less what you would be doing here if you decide to move."
Oh god that's a bigger a question which requires a bigger answer....
"I um I like art and English, I am good at math." Was all I said.
He proceeded to tell me classes I would be taking, things like that.

Finally after about 20 minutes talking he finally said we were ready to tour the school.

**Tyler's POV**
I could see Alana was struggling to answer Principal Keeling, and I think he could to that's why he directed most of the questions to me.
When we were ready to tour the school Alana looked dazed staring at the paintings on the walls, the murals. This is the nicest school out of the three we have to tour and I know they have a strict no bullying policy, I know that it could sill happen but if someone speaks up about it then the bully will get punished.
I hope she likes this school.

**Austin's POV**
Dillon and I went to talk to our principal about what's been happening, while the others went to lunch.

"So which school do you think she'll like?" I asked Dillon as we were walking to Principal Jerry's office
"I don't know the one with the least violence, I just don't want her to hurt anymore" he said opening the door
"Yea" I responded
