Bethany POV

        I tried to stay awake. I really did. But after 2 class periods and when Dick stopped tossing me notes, I went into drift mode. I have no idea why I would ever sign up for Digital Imaging. It’s the most boring class our of the three I’ve already gone to. Dick is next to me, going ahead of the teacher. Did you know that Dick is a whiz at computers? No, whiz is a HUGE understatement. In the beginning of class, he hacked the principal’s email and sent an email to our Digital Imaging teacher, Mrs. Leroy, that her car was towed. Let’s just say that class didn’t start until thirty minutes later.

Next will be lunch. I hope they have better food than my old school. Right now, I just hope I don’t fall asle…

        “Bethany!”

        I awoke with a start. A face in front of me blurred into focus. Electric blue eyes stared at me making my heart beat faster.

        “Aww, you look so cute when you sleep,” Dick cooed at me.

        I blushed and I looked around. I was still in the computer lab and the class was starting to leave the room to go to lunch. When I lightly rubbed my face, I felt imprints on my cheek.

        Dick must have seen my confused look, because he smiled at me and said, “You fell asleep on your keyboard. You have keyboard imprints on your cheek.”

        “Oh, god. How embarrassing,” I mumbled as I gathered my bag and walked out the door with Dick.

        “I’ll meet you in the cafeteria with Artemis. I just need to drop my bag off at my next class!” Dick rushed off down the hallway.

        Okay, I turned around and immediately froze. Where the hell do I go? I decided I would just a group of boys that were walking in front of me. Ten minutes later, when it became clear that the group of people that I had decided to follow weren’t even going to the cafeteria, I became utterly stressed and confused. Okay, now what? I sighed and decided I had to do this my own way. I leaned against a set of lockers and closed my eyes. I tried to use the echoey hallways to my advantage and listen to hear where the most laughter and chatter was. Where was the loudest room? I heard lots of talking echoing from around the corner. Perfect!

        I turned the corner and ran right into someone, knocking us both back onto the floor.

        “Oh, god! I’m so sorry!” I stuttered, looking up while rubbing my forehead. I had knocked into this slim, pale girl with long, straight, blonde hair and a lot of makeup on.

        “Hey! Watch where you’re-“ She stopped scolding. Her harsh blue eyes settled on my face and sized me up before softening and then breaking out into a wide smile, “I’m sorry, where are my manners?” She helped me up and she brushed off her skirt.

        Only then did I notice that there were two girls and three boys standing behind her, hands on their hips. Wow, talk about a passé.

        “Hi, I’m Kelli Stonebridge! You must be Bethany Ford, the new girl!” She said cheerfully and stuck out her hand at me and I slowly took it. Great, I have been minimized to “new girl.”
