Toby and Bea

Chapter 2

BEATRICE POV

I wake up and stare at my ceiling for a bit before my mom calls me.

"Beatrice! Time to get ready for school!" She says. I sigh and get out of bed, I rummage through my drawers until I find something nice to wear. It's the middle of the school year so I want to make a good impression.

I put on a grey T shirt that has a black flower on my right shoulder and my blue jeans. I slip on my black flip flops and grab my purple back pack.

And I go downstairs.

I start thinking about what's going in the next two weeks. I will be turning seven and I'm starting a new school today right smack dab in the middle of first grade.

"I made your favorite! Chocolate chip muffins!" My mom says

"Thanks Mommy" I say and grab a muffin. After I finish eating I kiss my mom goodbye so I can wait outside for the bus to come.

I just sit there on a bench dangling my feet thinking of everything that could go wrong, when the bus comes.

I grab my bag and get in the bus, I sit towards the middle beside a window watching my new home disappear.

I walk into my new schoo and just kinda stare there, there are kindergartners to fith graders roaming the halls. A kid in probably in my grade comes up to me and sticks out his hand.

"Hi I'm Uriah that teacher lady told me to take you to the principles office." He says now pointing to some lady I'm guessing is a teacher like he said.

I nod and start following him.

"What grade ya in?" He asks

"First" I say simply and he nods

"Are you new?" He asks and I nod "what's your name?" He asks

"Beatrice." I say

"Nice to meet ya Beatrice" and then he opens a large door.

"Ms.Joanna!" He calls "this new girl needs her class room number!"

A pretty lady walks out and crouches in front of me so she can look me in the eye.

"What's your name sweetheart?" She asks

"Beatrice Prior" I say and she nods and sticks her hand out for me to shake, and I do.

"Nice to meet you I'm Joanna the principle of this elementary school" she says and gets up and grabs some sort of file. And pulls out a small peice of paper with the number 460 on it and hands it to me.

"That's your class room number your teacher is Ms. Tori" she says as I take the small paper from her.

"Hey that's my class too!" Uriah says "I'll show you how to get there! And you'll love Ms. Tori she's awesome"

I nod. I hope I can make friends.... What if Caleb's not in the same class as me? I wish I could have talked to him this morning but Dad brought him to school early.

As we walk for a little bit Uriah talks about the randomest things. I think were about half way there when he says.

"Hey I like you your cool, wanna be my friend?" He asks and I smile at him.

"Sure!" I say

"Cool, when we get to class I'll introduce you to my other friends. Their names are Zeke, he's my brother. Did you know we're twins? Anyway then there's Shauna and Toby" he rambles.

Then we are at the door with the number 460 on it and I get nervous.

"Here we are" he says as he pulls the handle down on the door.

Here we go......
