Drop and Run

Chapter 2:

"I moved to America with my dad to pursue my passion for music. I am going back to Australia in two months for two weeks so I can stay with my mum and attend a music festival, I will then come back and stay with my dad and finish off my year here. I will do a split study in year 12 so i can move back to Australia and study for the first semester and then finish off my study here and apply for a scholarship either in America or Australia."

"Ok, what Uni's or collages are you looking at at the moment?" asks Mr. C

"In Australia I'm looking at the Canberra School Of Music, Western Sydney Uni and The School Of Musica, In America I'm looking at the New jersey Uni, music collage and music essential online collage".

"What school were you currently attending in Australia and what school are you doing your split study at?"

"I was attending North Sydney Christian School and it is decided and confirmed that i am able to do my split study there, all i need now is your approval".

"Ok, thankyou, i will have to take your request to the school board but it should be ok, you can now go out and receive your timetable from Amy".

"Thankyou so much for having me here".

"Thats my pleasure, you should get along well here, I have arranged a tour for you with a girl named Bella, she will be in the office to pick you up in 5 minutes, oh and you don't have to do classes today, so come and meet me back at the office when the tour is done."

"Ok thanks again".

I exit the office and walk over to Amy, I stand directly behind her considering what i should do. I'm about to grab the back of her chair when her phone rings.

"Hello?", "Yes, Yes, Well... alright, Um, why can't you?, well if I have to" "here is your timetable" she says with her back turned to me". I sidestep her chair and reach to grab the sheet of paper that is in her hands.

"Thanks" I say a little sarcastically as i take it from her hand

"whatever" she says going back to the conversation on the phone. I go and stand near the door hoping my guide will come soon "Hehe, Yes I know i said he liked me but i'm not sure if he will ask me out to the end of autumn dance". I groan, not love talk, if Bella doesn't come soon i am going to bash Amy over the head with that phone... "Hey, are you Alenna?" I turn around startled

"yeah"

"Hey, I'm Bella, Welcome to New Jersey".

"Thanks". I find myself staring at a tall fair skinned American wearing a checkered mini skirt and a white shirt that is tucked into the skirt and finished off with a wide black belt. She is wearing red converse shoes that match her converse earrings, she has light brown hair that is out and comes down to just below her shoulder.

"I like your shoes" i comment

"haha thanks" she replies

Stupid, stupid, stupid i really couldn't have said anything more stupid. who comments on someones shoes when they are in year 11?

"Are you ready to see your school?" she says with a hint of sarcasm

"As ready as i'll ever be i guess" i say picking up my bag, i am now ready for a lot of people staring at me and asking who i am.

"How was school Lennie?" asks dad when I finally get home. Lennie is dad's nickname for me.

"Good" I lie just so I can avoid a long conversation.

"That's good, do you have any homework?"

"no, I didn't have to attend any classes today but i did get to meet all of my teachers".
