Living With the Mirrors

Dont look at me!

I got off the bus. I was sitting by the fountain in the quad when Matt walked up to me.
'Are you the new exchange student from London, Robyn should be showing you around.'
'Wow, that's so nice of her. I wonder where she is Mathew.'
'Yeah, we were dating but now...'
'I know what you did.'
'How?'
'She told me.'
'Where is she?'
'In the bathroom.'
'Ok, so what's your name?'
My name is Robyn. But I'll play along so I don't have to talk to you. I thought. About me.'Ally, I'm from Lodon, England and you are?'
'Mathew. Nice to meet you. So what do you major in?'
'Tech.'
'Just like Robyn.'
'Oh, there she is. Now if you excuse me. I have a new student to show around Mathew.'
'R..Robyn?'
'Yep. Now I have to go and I hope you learnt your lesson about dating a dork. Cause they are the worst!'
'Hello you must be Ally. I'm Robyn and I'm showing you around.'

As we were walking I swear I could hear her voice in my head. Like she was reading my mind.
'You won't find it?' That came out of my mind and I didn't even realize I said that. That was creepy.
'How do you know what I'm looking for?'
'I don't know. I can hear your voice in my head and its looking for something. Sorry, I know I sound mental.'
'Don't worry, your life can't be any more complex than mine.'
'Oh mine can.' Just then I heard her voice come across all the memories of Mathew.
'Who's Mathew?'
'No one.'
'He was your boyfriend. He kissed someone else.'
'How could you possibly know that?'
'Don't worry I know how that feels.'
'How could you possibly?'
'I saw my mom. She was murdered. On the carpet I front of me.'
'I'm so sorry. I don't think I would cope with something that big. Mathew was just a boyfriend. Nothing more than a petty teen thing. Yours is a life changer. How does one live without a mother.'
'That's why I'm dressed like this.'
'Same. That's why I'm dressed like this.'
I have a feeling we're gonna be very good friends. I thought.

'This is our stop.  The Science and Technology class. Let me see your schedule.' She handed it over. We have the exact same classes. 'Well looks like we have the same classes so I'll show you around. Welcome to my world. ' I pushed open the door. We were slightly late so as we walked in all the eyes were on us. Though I'm sure they were on Emma.
'Miss Elliots, this is Ally from London. Sorry I'm late.'
'It's OK, Robyn.' She turned to Ally. 'Welcome, please would you tell us all your name and one thing about yourself.'
Miss Elliots is the kindest soul. She is the best teacher. My plan was help Ally figure out who was good and bad in this nightmare we call Highschool.
'My name is Ally and I have come here as an exchange student from London.'
'Ok while enjoy the time you have here. Please take a seat next to Robyn. Who will be with you the whole day.' Everyone started chatting. By now they all knew about my cheating n kiss fiasco. Just great. I sat down in my seat and was back to my normal behavior. Being the shy, smart one in the corner. Ally came and sat down next to me.
'Hey, you OK?' She looked concerned.
'Yeah, I'm fine. Just lost in thought.'
'What ya thinking about?'
'Nothing. Don't worry about me.'
'Mathew, your thinking about him again. You know you shouldn't. If he cheated on you. Well then he's gonna miss out on something amazing.'
'Why are you being so nice to me? You barely know me and your acting like a Best Friend. Why?'
'Trust me, I know what your feeling and I don't want anyone else going through it.'
'Thanks, but really I'm OK.'
'Your coming to my house after school.'
'What? Why?'
'Cause I said so. We're gonna get to know each other better. Also you ain't going to walk home alone. You need company!'
'No, simply NO.'
'But there's no chance of that. Your coming.'
'Fine.' She somehow convinced me. Maybe it was the thought of being alone and seeing I had a friend in this darkness. Maybe it was the feeling like Ally and I were meant to be Best Friends. I don't know. But after that the lesson flew by.

Ally POV

Lunch

We all went to the cafeteria. I sat at a table with Keean and Ally. Keean and I were on good terms again since he apologized. I saw Matt with his friend on the other side of the cafeteria. Hazel and her group of Bratz passed us. She mimicked spilling. And her Juice landed all over Ally. Ally got up, grabbed a napkin and dried herself off. She looked a bit mad.
'Jeez Hazel,' Ally commented, ' next time, you might wanna mess with someone as low grade as yourself.' She then proceeded to tip her own juice all over Hazels goons. That made it worse. Hazel couldn't stand this. She was furious and stomped away followed by her minions.
'Nice work, Ally. Not even I, have embarrassed her like that. So weldone.' We began to clap. This was an achievement that  would be remembered for years. By all those, most girls and some boys, that didn't find Hazel pretty or royalty. I was one of them and i loved it. Then suddenly more people joined in. Soon everyone was clapping exept Hazel and her minions. After lunch we went to our classes. When they were finally over. I got ready to go with Ally. Her cousin couldn't pick us up so we had to walk. I got my bags all packed up with my Ton of homework. Yay. Best part of school is Honework. That would take a while. We began to walk back to her house.
