I turn around and shrug nervously Trevon continues sitting there, i take a deep breath "do you know where room 112 is? He smiles "i'll take you there snowflake." As we exit the office the halls get loud Trevon smiles "Don't be to worried you'll be fine. But let me see your phone" i give him a confused look and pull my Iphone 4s out and hand it to him here you go "Briley dont let many people see this phone not alot of the kids here can afford a phone nice as this and will try to steal it" i look up at him nervously as he punches something into my phone and hands it back i look at it it's his number i smile "call or text me if you need anything Snowflake" i smile "thanks Trevon." as we walk up the stairs there's a couple hallways we walk one labeled A. we walk to the last door in the hallway next to a huge window. he points to the door "and here is your class." i smile thanks Trevon but um..i never got a locker? he chuckles deeply "they'll give it to you when you get all your books so either 3rd period today or tomorrow." i smile and walk into my English class with 5 minutes till the bell rings. i slowly walk up to the teachers desk "hi, i'm Briley Collins this is my 1st day" the teacher looks up from her computer and wipes he mouth and then wipes them across her pants as she stands up "hello Mrs.Collins i'm Miss.Tucker" she states as she shakes my  hand "but the kids call me Mrs.T welcome to English 3 honors we look forward to you joining us for the rest of the year, please take a seat anywhere your comfortable." i smile and take a seat in the front row. As the bell rings the class fills with people chuckling and pushes and joking i look around to see if any of the Carter boys are in my class but none of them are then i turn around and look at the chalk bored. A few seconds later i feel a tap on my shoulder "Eh Your in my seat white girl" i look up to see a tall skinny black girl standing in front of my i swallow hard "Mrs.Tucker said i could sit anywhere i wasn't aware this was your seat, plus there's 2 open seats on either side of me" i swallow hard again The girl laughs and sits next to me "way to stand up for yourself white girl but you might want to be careful who you talk to like that you might get your ass kicked" i smile quickly then nod. "I'm Briley." she extends her hand "Amy" as Mrs.Tucker makes way to the front of the class room Thomas flys throu the room and takes the only seat open the one to my left. my heart slumps great the guy who Trevon warns me about is sitting next to me in my 1st class this is just great. "Thomas nice to see you'll be joining us today" mrs.tucker says with a sarcastic tone. "today we have a new student class this is Briley Collins..she just moved her the other day i expect for you all to make her feel welcome and show her around if need be..Other then that today we will be working in pairs so everyone find a partner as i pass out the assignment. i look to my right to ask Amy if she will please be my partner but shes already 3 rows back with another girl. i look around the room to see if anyone else looks like they may need a partner but everyone else already seems to be paired as i look back forward Thomas slams his desk next to mine. "looks like its me and you snowflake but i dont think we've properly meet yet.. i'm Thomas." i look at him stunned and a bit scared "Briley"  as Mrs.Tucker sets down our work i smile thanks and Thomas continuous to stare at me i brush a strand of hair behind my ear as i begin to read what were working on today. Interview your partner only using 20 questions and  then tonight for homework write a paper on them. i look at Thomas who is still staring at me. "We have to ask each other 10-20 questions each and then write a paper about each other and we have to answer each question on full honesty no matter what the questions is who wants to go 1st?" Thomas smiles "how about i ask you 1st?" i nod
