Dear Self,
It's for both of our benefits. His and mine.
"HOLY ANGELS, SHE'S SO CUUUUTE!!!" one screams. Then, another follows. And then, everybody just gives up and screams.
She. Is. So. Precious, Penny thinks with her mouth agape.
Ginger hair and blue eyes.
Quite rare.
Her hair was tied into low pigtails, and her blue eyes were accompanied by long lashes. She looked like a complete doll, but one thing disturbed Penny. It was that quite long scar on her right cheek. It was out of place and made Penny question her safety. But even though, she look innocent. Best part was that she was petite. The top of her head could reach the level of Penny's eyes if she made an effort to tiptoe. Probably.
"Uh, um...uh..." she starts to shake.
"Students," Ms. Terese smiles, shushing everyone. "Let's have her introduce herself now, please."
"Yes, Ms." they all say.
"Um, m-my name is Haley," she begins. "Haley Rian Blue. I, uh...I am a t-transfer student, and I...n-nice to meet y-you!"
"Hi, Haley!" the whole class warmly invites her.
"Aha...um..." she looks at Ms. Terese who points at the back, just beside Penny. How convenient.
Haley makes her way to her seat. Once she sits down on her seat, Penny massively smiles, almost looking like a creep.
"Uh...hi..." Haley backs away a little.
Penny stops smiling, realizing the effect it had put on her. "I'm s-sorry." She laughs. "It's just hard to not smile while looking at you."
"Hey, cutie. Have you even tried smiling?" Jayden joins the conversation.
"You suck with nicknames, Jay," Penny rolls her eyes.
Haley giggles, listening to the two's quarrel.
Then the whole class stays silent. Right before they all start to scream again, Ms. Terese comes to the rescue and decides to speak. "Students, please sit down. You all may talk to each other during break, but we have class right now."
The class suddenly looks disappointed, but pushes that aside since it's Ms. Terese. Just because it's Ms. Terese.
"Now, let's start our class."
...
Classes have finally ended, and Haley was crowded with people. Penny, on the other hand, was about to go home since her other friends were occupied. But just before she was about to leave, the class president informs her to tour Haley around.
"Principal Greene wants you to tour Haley, Pen," Lewis Cautton says. He is in the same classroom of Penny. He's 15 and a sweetheart. He catches girls' hearts in a different way (sometimes, even boys' hearts). "You want me to come along?"
"No, it's alright. Thanks, Lew," Penny smiles.
Lewis blushes. "You know how much I hate that nickname..."
Penny giggles. "Meh...thanks for the offer though! Bye!" she waves him goodbye and he does the same.
Penny starts to sweat as she thinks of what exactly they will talk about. Because for heaven's sake, she does not know how to make a conversation. But then she shakes her head, and remembers to keep cool. She has to make the best of this year.
