fish of a scale, swim together

Chapter 2 may luck be upon her.

Okay so this is a picture of what Maurie's physical attributes look like you don't have to imagine that she look,but be aware she is a pear shape. Anyway don't focus on the Latina part in this equation but instead take in the curvy pear shape and the voluminous black curls and then add it brown eyes. I will eventually find pictures for the other characters. Next stop is her sister.

" Look sweetie theirs the school building " my mom said even jutting her neck up to indicate were the building was.

I just sat silent not willing to break the silence. The suspension was probably to much for my mother and she risked a sideways glance at me.

" why are ya all of a suddenly so quiet. You practically bit my head off when we made the wrong turn. "

"I did not" I protested " All I did was tell you which lane was the right lane and you still made the wrong turn."

" you never said that. "

" yes I did, right before we stopped at the streetlight." Jeez my mom could never admit that she was wrong and it only furthered my pursuit to push the truth in front of her face.

" No, it never happened and you must of said it only in your brain because I heard no such thing. Now instead of screaming and yelling why don't you apologize and Say sorry"

Now it's my turn to scream in my brain. No. Instead I just sat quietly and letted my mom suffer the silence.

" Hey, were almost to the building. " mom says. I didn't answer.

" don't sit there like a glum toothpick. speak. "

My mouth remained still.

" Marie Coloreed, if you don't speak right now I'm goon turn the car around and you can walk to school the rest of the way." I' m not sure if she meant was she said, but my mind didn't want to take the chance.

" well what do you want me to say. "

" that you love me and that you can't wait to go to school." She said.

I snorted "yah nothing's more fun than-"

" reading, learning and getting a good education. "

"ma'!- " to late we had stopped by the school and I jumped quickly out of the car. I then turned around and stuck my tounge out. Mom's eyes widened in amusement and she sweetly called

" have a good day"

I stared at the cloud of dust she leaft. Grumpy as hell . Then I turn toward the gate that led to my school and entered. I quickly organized my thoughts to one purpose, find a friend and keep him/ her as a friend.

Easy.

5 minutes left before school starts and I am sitting in class instead of outside. I silently smack my myself for not hunting for a partner and instead inside like the pansy I am. Even worse, the class was way over on the other side were the seniors hung out. Not that it was a scary thing. Just that when six guys comment on how big you ass is it tends to ruin your mood.

Anyway I had made it to the class and was a little surprised to see no one their. Almost no one. So I just meticulously sat down on a a desk, on the edge of the second row. Luckily not far sat a girl who seemed to be texting on her phone as if it could unlock the secrets to unlimited makeup tips.

Great. Now I needed to do something to get her attention and fast before the other kids start filing in. What to do what to do.

Idea.
