Im seated in my class when this chirpy girl waves a hand at me. She smiles as she advances.
"Can i sit down next to you?"
"Oh, yes ofcourse " i replied with the same demeanor.
"Amanda stacy. But yu can call me stace" winking she grins at me.
With the same friendly gesture, i introduce myself to her, "im ellizebeth.    And you can call me liz "
We soon began chatting on our interests and hobbies. I had this great feeling with her, a feeling of friendship.
Lunch time up and we were on our way to the cafeteria. Everyone was so friendly. Spreading smiles and me mirroring their gesture. The cafe was a crowded one but we still managed to find some space . As we got our lunch trays, we sat down. No sooner were we accompanied by a small group of four.. they too couldn't find space so they chose to join us. Stace and i were equally glad to join them.
"Hey there pretty face, what's your name?" Hummed boy no 1
The girl next to him nudged him hard with her elbow "Troy! Turn off your flirtatious attitude. We're here to be friends"
"Ouch!! I was being friendly " exclaimed Troy.
I couldn't help but laugh "that's okay guys. Im used to it" i said with a wink. "Im Liz and this is Amanda. We're together in the same class"
"Nice to meet you two. This is Carreen, DJ, Serena and myself, Troy, the magnificent" he added the last one with a tone of superiority which was rather amusing. "Hi!!" Replied everyone in unison. We soon began to get along just fine. Time seemed to tick so fast as we were all engrossed in knowing the other until the bell rang indicating the end of our recess time. We exchanged numbers and promised to meet by tomorrow same time, same spot.
