A ray of hope

Chapter 3

We pushed open the huge double doors to the school,taking it all in.The freshman's were scurrying around trying to find all their classes while the seniors were hanging out with their friends,having a good ol time.

We all pulled out our schedules, comparing them. I had 3 classes with Violet and 2 with Hailee. We parted our ways to search for our lockers,I was wandering around a bit trying to find my locker when I bumped into someone.I looked up quickly.

"omygosh, I am so sorry!!" I said apologetically,but when I looked up,my eyes looked back at a familiar pair of blue/green eyes.

"OMYGOD FAITH!!!!!" I exclaimed while nearly pouncing on my best friend Faith Summers.A lot of people mistook us for sisters.We had the same color of chestnut brown hair,except hers was cut into a bob, while mine hung just over my shoulders.We also had the same color blue/green eyes.The only difference was she was curvier than me and she had sass.Faith and I had been friends ever since we were kids and I also thought our names were funny since my name was Hope and hers was Faith,also my last name was Waters and hers was Summer,like hot and cold.

While we hugged and talked and just freaked out over each other,she stopped suddenly looking around.

"Have you seen Angela?" she asked with a frown.Angela was  the 4th member of our group,we had a small group of tight friends even if we knew everybody and lots of people knew us. I also wasn't surprised when she couldn't find Angela.She was the definition of social butterfly,also chatting,meeting people and spreading her cheeriness.

"Don't worry,we'll probably find her.......later" I replied with a smile.

"Yeah,she's probably going around,making new friends"she said with mock sadness.I rolled my eyes.There is no way she would do that. We've been through a lot together.

"Hey,give me your schedule"I replied while shoving mine in her face.We exchanged and I quickly scanned the paper,hoping to have at least 1 class with her.Turns out the same classes I had with Violet,I had the same with her.

I smiled hugely,"Awesome,we have the same classes with Peace!!"

"Yay" she squealed.

I turned to face her."Okay,let's go or we'll be late."

"Aye,Aye captain,meet you at lunch?"

"You bet."

I scurried off to my locker,opening it,throwing in the books I didn't need and getting my math book first.Math first thing in the morning?No thank you,but there was nothing I could do,I had to take it.

As I was closing my locker I felt a chill run up my spine,I had the strangest feeling that I was being watched.I slowly turned around expecting someone to be staring at me but I saw no one.But something caught my eye.I saw hair,midnight black hair,I squinted my eyes but just as it had appeared it had disappeared.Weird.I brushed it off and ran down the halls into the classroom,barley making it on time,just as the bell went.My teacher shot me an agonizing glare like I had just murdered his whole family and I was coming into his classroom after 15 years asking for forgiveness.Why is it always the math teachers?!?!
