Chapter 4

* A month or so has passed since the sleepover
_______________________________
I woke up and put on some nice clothes, curled my hair, finished getting ready and tried to put my nerves aside. Today was freshman orientation and I had no idea what high school was like and I was worried I wouldn't have a class with any of my friends. I asked my mom, but her high school stories didn't make me feel any better. There was a knock on the door and I answered it knowing it was Lola. Earlier in the week we had all decided that Lola, Jackson and I would all ride there and back together so we could talk about our classes afterwards. I hugged Lola and we started taking about what we thought orientation would be like, and then we saw Jackson come downstairs so we all piled in the car and left. We got there and I said goodbye to my friends as we all got in our separate lines that were separated by last name. Funny enough I saw someone familiar in my line and guess who it was, it was Daniel. I didn't  mind because he I didn't  think he knew I existed, but I was completely surprised when he turned around and started talking to me. "Hey, I'm Daniel"
"I'm Ramona" I was a little nervous but I did my best not to show it.
"I saw you at some of the pool parties over the summer and you seemed cool, but I never got the chance to talk to you, but at least now I do" he smiled and I smiled back, almost as if I had gotten a puppy dog for Christmas kind of smile.
"Yeah, I've seen you around during summer and in school, and you seemed cool, it also helps that your great at like everything" we both chuckled and then smiled again.
"Hey, wanna grab our schedules and books together?"
"Yeah sounds great" I tried not to sound to happy or excited in my response so I wouldn't look weird. We grabbed our schedules and realized we had 5/6 classes together. The only class we didn't have together was P.E because he was in a sports workout class for guys and I was in a dance class. We laughed and talked the rest of the orientation and had ended up become friends in just under and hour and a half. When orientation was over before I left he did the second surprising thing that day.
"Hey, can I have your number so that we can send each other homework and maybe hangout again sometime?"
I was so surprised it took me a minute to respond, but when I finally got my self together I replied," Yeah sounds good, and it'd be cool to hang out again." He gave me his phone and I put in my number.
"Well it's been fun, but my moms here so I gotta go, see you later"
"Yeah, it's been fun, see you later" he gave me one last smile before walking away, and I walked towards the parking lot where me and Lola and Jackson were meeting. Lola saw me walking away from Daniel and gave me that tell me everything look and I got over to them and told her I would tell her everything when we got to my house. We all exchanged schedules and I found out that Lola and I had every class together and Jackson and I didn't have any classes together but he had the sports workout class with Daniel. Me and Lola hurried to the car, as I was excited to tell her every detail of the day. We got home and up to my room and she bursted out with," Tell. Me. Everything." I explained to her how we had started talking, how we had almost every class together, how funny he was, and how he had asked for my number and I had given it to him. She then explained to me how she had become friends with Daniel's best friend Michael. I suddenly felt my phone buzz so I  checked it.
???: Hey it's Daniel, I have a football game this weekend and I wanted to see if you wanted to come and hangout after.
I showed Lola the text and she told me I had to say yes.
Me: Yeah sounds like a lot of fun
Daniel: Okay, my mom said she could pick you up. The games on Saturday, so we'll be by to pick you up Saturday morning.
Me: Okay see you then
Me and Lola talked about our classes and other random stuff until her mom came and picked her up. When I went to bed that night thoughts of the day swirled in my head and I thought about how fun Saturday would be, and for the first time in a long time I Ramona Gibbler, was excited to go back to school.
