The World Across

Chapter 3.5

"Ooops!" Without hesitant, Sa5m picked her books.

"O my god! I'm sorry." The girl she bumped into apologized and helped her pick up her things.

"No it's okay." Sa5m said and stood up.

"O my god." The girl said looking strucked.

"What?" Sa5m saw the shock on the girls face.

"Ahm, sorry. I uhm . . . " The girl uttered. "Ahm, I'm Sarah." And she offered her hand for a shake but is still looking awkwardly towards her.

"Hi Sarah, nice to meet you. Ahm, are you new? 'Coz I'm pretty sure I saw every beautiful faces roaming at our school, and unfortunately I haven't seen you before."

Sarah chuckled. "Yeah, ahm, I'm quite new." She said. "I transferred from Jefferson High."

"Oh, the rival school."

"Tell me about it." Sarah agreed."So ahm, can you help me with something?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Where can I find the head's office here? I need to have some changes with my schedule."

"Oh sure, come. I'll get you there." Sa5m always loved helping people about little things without hesitation.

"Ahm, you're still here?" Sarah asked surprisingly when she saw Sa5m was still waiting outside the principal's room.

"Ah yep. I kinda think you need a proper tour."

"And you think that you're responsible for it?"

"A little bit."

"Okay. Since you insisted to."

"Good." Sa5m stood up and she started to walk with her new friend now but all of the sudden she felt again the pain rushing to her chest.

"Are you okay?" Sarah asked.

"Hmm, ahm, yep."

"Are you sure?"

Sa5m can hardly talk. Then she remembered the plant that Lyndon gave her so she grabbed it from her bag.

"What's that?" Sarah asked. "Dude? Are those drugs?

"It's a plant. Forget-me-not." She barely said.

"What is it for?" Sarah asked as Sa5m sniffed the flower's scent all through her nosetrills and to her lungs.

"Is that a drug or something?"

"Nope. I don't know either." She was feeling all better at the moment. "All I know is that whenever I feel like I can't breath, I need to sniff this stuff and I can feel better already."

"Oh. . .who gave you that?"

"A friend. Come'on. I'll give you the tour."
