"Stella! Stella Breckel!" Mariam shouts to me.
"Mariam! Mariam Beetsus!" I shout back, smiling.
"Beesh, Stella! Beesh! When will you ever get my last name right?" She laughs.
"Neva!" I joke. "Now what's your news, Mary?"
Mariam shyly bashes her long, red eyelashes.
"Mary! Come on!" I plead. She's my only friend here. I need to know EVERYTHING!
"I have a crush.." She says, glaring at her Pink Nikes.
"And it's Cameron Fisher." I guess. She's been staring at him all week!
"No." She lies, grinning. I can see in her dark blue eyes I'm right.
"Awwwwwwwww!" I tease. "How sweet!"
I squish my lips together and make a kissing sound.
Mariam covers my mouth and giggles. She is so crazy! I love her so much!
I remove her hand and take out my geography book out of my locker.
Our lockers our right next to each other because of our last names.
I am happy that I'm not Stella Zemper anymore!
Mary waves to me and heads off to Science. I giggle quietly and start after her, when I run into something.
I fall to the floor. My book skids off into the hallway.
I get up quickly and look to my right. A boy is standing there.
"Ow," he says. "Ow you?" I practically tell at him.
"What about ow me? I'm the one who fell!"
The boy looks at me in confusion. He moves his hands around.
Oh.
Oh.
I feel terrible inside. I take out my notebook.
'Very sorry,' I write. 'Sokay' he responds.
I pick up my book and wave. My stomach flips. Why?
