I sat down next to Luke.
"Why are you sitting next to me?" Luke said.
"Um we have assigned seats. My name is Kristina, but you can just call me Kris."
He seemed really quiet for a teenage boy.
"Why are you even talking to me?"
"Why shouldn't I be?"
"Nobody has talked to me for 2 years."
"Why not?"
"You mean no one has told you yet?"
"Told me what?"
"Nothing."
He stared at me for a second and then looked down to finish the worksheet.
"Alright everyone, we have a project. You will have to write a persuasive essay with the person that you are sitting with." Ms.Connor said.
Well crap. Mikey is going to freak out.
"Alright partner. What is going to be the topic?" I said.
"I don't know."
"Well, we will figure it out later. Do you want to come over to my house today? So that we can work on the paper?"
"Um sure. Where is your house?"
"It's about a 5 minute walk from here."
"Oh alright. I'll meet you by your locker."
"Okay see you later."
*fast forward to the final bell*
"Hey Kris."
"Hey Luke. Are you ready?"
"Yeah."
We started walking to my house. He started to ask me questions.
"Why did you move here?" He asked.
"We moved from North Carolina because of my mom's job."
"You lived in North Carolina?"
"Yeah. It's really different from Australia. I like it here."
We walked up to my house when all of a sudden Luke started to turn around.
"Sorry Kris. I..I have to go. Um..You can come over to my house tomorrow. Bye."
"Um bye. See you tomorrow."
What was that? Why did he leave so quickly? Did I say something? Well I hope I find out soon.
