Sandwiched in the Middle

Red hair

"No. I cannot," Ciara shook her head as we walked in for geography class.

  "What? It's a good pun" I replied and rubbed my eyes. Dumping my backpack on my chair, I glanced over to the seat next to Ciara, it was Kain's but he was currently sitting in the seat behind mine.

Ciara was turned and talking to Cody who was seated in front of her.

thud!

My head snapped to the direction that noise came from. I saw books scattered on the floor, chemistry, math, and English. My eyes made it's way up to the person who dropped them.

Standing there was a girl who looked very embarrassed. She had fiery red hair, dark eyebrows, and shy grey eyes.

Ciara quickly paused her conversation with Cody and got up to start helping pick up her books and handed them back to her.

  "Thank you!" The red head smiled,

  "You're welcome," Ciara smiled too

  "I'm Sienna Collins, " She introduced herself with a wide smile.

   "I'm Ciara, these are my friends, Cody," she used her thumb to point at him, Cody flashed a smile full of pearly white teeth. "This is Kit," she introduced me.

So we're friends now, huh?

  "'Sup," I nodded my head. "You know school started yesterday right? And we have lockers for a reason," This happens every time. There will always be a sarcastic remark from me, no matter who the person is.

Unless it was Queen Elizabeth; if I ever met her. I would bite my tongue.

  "Yes, but I couldn't make it." She gave a tight smile.

"Uh, don't mind her, sarcasm is in her nature," Cody piped up; I rolled my eyes.

  Sienna took an empty seat in the middle of the class. She placed her books and bag down at the empty desk two desks away from me and came over to us.

  "That guy over there is Jeremy, from Connecticut." Ciara pointed over to Jeremy, who was studying his math book. "Hey Jere!" His head shot up to look at us and his lips curved into a smile. "this is Sienna," Ciara introduced after Jere jogged over.

  "Hi Sienna. The name's Jeremy." He grinned.

  "And that over there is Kain." Ciara finished.

  "Otherwise known as the dark Russian vampire," I added. Sienna whipped her head back in laughter at what I just called him. "By the way, what are you doing in that seat?"

He raised his dark eyebrows, "Yo," His really deep voice echoed to Sienna.

  He just ignored me.

Rude.

"Let's sit at the same spot?" Ciara asked Jeremy and I as we walked to the canteen. I nodded and Jeremy agreed. "Can we ask Sienna, Cody, and Kain if they want to sit with us?"

  "Fine,"

  "Absolutely,"

  "Hey Sienna! Wanna sit with us?" Ciara asked her as she joined our walk to the canteen.

  "Sure, if it's okay with the rest..."

  "Oh of course it is." Ciara assured her.
