Adopted (part two)

Chapter

The day dragged on and on and on.

I was headed toward lunch period when I bumped into someone and a fell flat on my bum.

"Are you okay"? a deep voice asked me. The person grabbed my hand and helped me up.

"Yep. Fine" I replied when i got up.

"You new here or something"? He asked.

"Yeah" I said. I looked up to see who I was talking to. It was a boy. He was tall, with curly brunette locks (which reminded me of Harry's). He was tan, but not too tan. He had beautiful, dark brown eyes that I could stare at all day. He had on a plain green hoodie with black skinny jeans. He had on black vans with white shoelaces.

"Uhh-- sorry 'bout that" I stuttered. Can you blame me?! He's hot!

He chuckled. "It's fine. I could have been more careful too though".

I just awkwardly nodded. I looked down at my outfit. Shirt that says dope jeans and black converse. Pretty boring.

"Well since your new, wanna sit with me and my friends at lunch?" I froze. I didn't realize I was going to be sitting with anyone.

"Uhh... sure I guess" I agreed.

But what if they make fun of my bald head? and my outfit? And that I am new. Maybe I shouldn't...

"Sorry, I actually don't think I can." I said apologetically.

"Aww come on" he pleaded. "It'll give you a chance to make some new friends".

"But.-- but what if they make fun of me"?

"Why would you think that"? He asked and cocked his head.

"Well, what if they make fun of my bald head? Or my plain outfit? Or because I'm new? I've never been to school before... I don't know how I should act, or what I should do..." I leaned up against the wall and slid down until I was sitting and rested my head in my hands.

I felt a figure sit next to me. I knew it was him.

He rubbed my shoulder.

"Don't worry, they won't. And if they do, I'll take care of it." He assured me.

"I--I don't know.."

"Let me ask you this, how come you never gone to school before?"

"I lived in an orphanage."

"Oh. How come, well, how come you have no hair, sorry for asking."

I sighed. I took my head out of my hand and leaned it back against the wall.

"I had a brain tumor... they shaved my head so they could give me a shot." I answered."

"Oh, I thought you had breast cancer or something like that".

"Nope"

"Well now if the do happen to make fun of you, I will hurt them. It's not your fault you don't have hair or never gone to school before."

"What about my clothes?"

"Who cares about your clothes?"

"I guess your right..."

He grabbed my hand and helped my up. He held out his hand for me to shake.

I shook it and he said, "Well my name is Mason"

I laughed and said" and my name Claire."

He smiled and we let go of hands.

"Now lets go eat!"

I smiled and followed him to the cafeteria.

This is going to be very interesting.
