Getting To Know You

Chapter 3

I crossed the parking lot without getting noticed, thankfuly. Walking through the front doors I looked to my right and saw a blonde girl by her locker. I didn't know where the principal's office was, so I asked her.

With a smile she gave me directions,I smiled back and thanked her. Then, I walked towards where she told me to go. She seemed nice, but I wouldn't be here long enough to know for sure.

After that, I reached the principal's office. It was nothing special, really compared to the other schools. It was a tiny room with wooden flooring and white walls. To the left a line of chairs stood and to the right there was an old woman sitting on a desk.Behind her was another door which I assume led to the principal's office.

"Hi my name's Katherine March"I told the old lady.

"Hello dear my name's Glenda I'm the principal's assistant, are you the new student?"she asked.

"Yheah, can I get my schedule, please?"

"Sure, sweetie. Here you go." She handed me my schedule, a school map, my locker number and combination, and my homeroom number.

"Thanks" I said and started making my way out of the office.

"Have a nice day, dear" she called out and I was out the door.

I stood a minute or two examining my school map and understood exactly were I should go. I was good at following school maps, I had a lot of practice.

After gathering my books I went straight to homeroom without blundering.With a big sigh I opened the classroom door, and sat on a desk at the back. Minutes passed and the room started filling in. Nobody really noticed I was there. I put my earphones in and Stolen Dance by Milky Chance started playing. I didn't even notice the cute blue eyed boy who sat next to me.

After a few minutes a teacher appeared.

"Hey kids so, today we have a new student" she said adjudting her glasses "would Katherine please raise her hand?".

I raised my hand and all eyes were on me.

" Well, hi would you please come to the front and introduce yourself?" she asked ,but I knew she didn't want an answer.

Without a moment to waste I got up and went to the front.

"Hi , my name's Katherine ,but you can call me Katie" I said. I wasn't nervous, I had done this a thousand times.

"Well, Katie my name's Mrs. Wright and I'll be your new english teacher. So, let's all give Katie a warm welcome" she said and I went back to my seat and got a notebook and pen out.

I started to take notes as Mrs. Wright lectured. I wasn't one to only doodle in class. When I got out of college I wanted to become a doctor and help people out. I was a strong believer that life doesn't necessarily have a meaning, you've got to make it meaningful. I wanted to make it meaningful by helping others.

As I took notes I had a funny feeling somebody was staring at me. I looked up to my right. Sure enough the blue eyed boy from earlier was staring at me.
