We walked to the bus stop and waited for the bus until it came.

We got onto the bus and then I saw Brittany sitting in the front seat. Oh actually I don’t think I’ve told you about Brittany, okay so she is my best friend every since grade three, so four years now.

 She has blonde hair and green eyes that sparkle. I am extremely jealous of her eyes mine are just like someone has chucked dirt at me, yes their brown. My eyes also are the same colour as my hair so to me that makes me look so boring.

Brittany smiled at me like she had news to tell. ‘Avary! Sit down’ She giggled.

I sat down with a raised eyebrow, she is never this excited.

‘Excited, much?’ I said making a joke.

‘You should be too! Today, Kristy is coming to our school! I mean I planned on keeping this a secret so you would both rock up and see each other and be surprised but you know me, I couldn’t keep this in!’

‘Kristy White!’ I screamed to Brittany.

‘Yes!’

Kristy was my best friend from my old school. I hadn’t seen her for years! I was so excited and my heart was beating really fast. Brittany kind of knew her from my birthday party along time ago.

‘Did you get your timetable printed out this morning?’ I asked her.

‘Yes, first period I have English with Kristy!’ Brittany said picking her bag up to get off the bus.

‘No! I have Math with Mr. Gruffer!’

‘Haha!’ Britt said getting off the bus.

‘See you at recess!’ I yelled to Britt.

I liked school, ever since mother died its just a happier place…father has never been himself since she died which makes me uncomfortable around him.

At school, I have my friends…despite the few horrible teachers.

First I had Math, continued by Science with some new teacher named Mrs. Bray.

It had come to recess and that’s when I saw Kristy and Brittany coming out of English laughing.

‘Kristy!’ I yelled running up for a hug.

‘Oh hey Avary’ Kristy said with a disgusting look on her face.

Something was wrong…. Seriously wrong. Kristy and I were best friends and now she’s all about Brittany.

‘Uh, I gotta go I’ll see you in History Britt’ Kristy said walking off.

‘I see she doesn’t like me now….’ I said looking at the floor.

‘Avary! Don’t be silly, of course she still likes you!’ Britt said.

I sighed ‘Mm sure…anyway lets go get recess’

‘Oh yeah! I forgot to ask, do you want to come camping with us this weekend?’ Britt asked.

‘Who’s us?’

‘My parents’ Britt laughed.

‘Oh okay, sorry I though you meant with Kristy’ I said.

‘Oh! Why don’t we invite her to come as well, sorry Avary why didn’t you say something! I will go ask her now.’ Britt ran off before I could say anything.

I have just made this worse… here I was thinking this was going to be some ‘us’ time but you know… now Kristy’s coming.
