Close As Strangers. ♡

Chapter Two

I walked into the school. I tried to ignore the fact that everyone was looking at me, but its kinda hard. I just kept walking and ended up at the front desk. I recieved my schedule and said out loud, "English..." I turned around in circles looking for a sign that said 2600's-2700's. I found it and started walking towards my class. I bumped into the preppiest girl I have EVER seen. "Watch where your going, brat!" She yelled as she slapped my books onto the ground. I picked them up as she walked away. The bell rang and I was officially the only one still walking to class. I was looking down at my schedule and at the class numbers. I finally found the classroom, after passing it like 10 times. I walked in slowly as all eyes were directed on me. "Hello! You must be Aubrey. Come, come. Sit right here." The teacher said. I walked to the seat she told me to sit in and sat down. She started teaching again but everyone was too busy staring at me, to listen or even look at the teacher. It was awkward, I'll admit. I mean, 20 other people.. All staring at you on your first day.. Tell me thats not awkward. After almost an hour of a confusing and awkward class, the bell finally rang. I stood up and someone came up behind me and poked me. "Poke." The voice followed the poke. I turned around. "Um.. Hi." I said awkwardly. "You don't remember me do you?" He said. Was I supposed to remember him? "Um, no.. Not really.." I said, putting my backpack over my shoulder. "Eh. Forget it.. Bye." He walked away. That was strange... It looked like Luke, my best friend until I moved for 7 years, a little but it couldn't have been... I really don't know right now. I was gathering my stuff off my desk when a girl approched me. "Hi," She said. "I was wondering if you need help.. Like getting to your classes or anything." She added. "Um, yeah. A little," I giggled. "I'm Aubrey." I said. "I'm Maria." We figured out we have the same schedule and the same lunches. We sat together and did everything together, so I'm pretty sure we're best friends now... Or at least friends.
