If your name is Bethanie

💕It was Adorable💕

Jane, Emily, and Ritchie were waiting at one corner of the upper cafe. Mya, Eddie and Cleo aren't here cause Eddie and Mya goes out for lunch, and Cleo has a different lunch time. I sat down at the table and dropped my bag. I heard Ritchie speak “I didn't know this school had uniforms.” I rolled my eyes at his stupidity. “Really?” I said. “You didn't know that?” I continued. Ritchie just shook his head and started to eat his sandwich. “So… is Ritchie a part of the group?” Jane said. Ritchie almost spat out his sandwich in excitement. I think he really wanted to join our group, but why? “Sure but, we need to go through a trail and ask Tessa, Cloe, and Eddie as well.” I said. “What Trai-” Rich said while I cut him off. “Yep, don't question it.” I said.

     “Who is this dude?” I heard a voice echoing from behind me. “Is he talking about me?” I whispered to Ro. “Yeah, just wait it out. You won't be new in like a few days.” Ro whispered back. She continued to talk “Yeah, This dude. This is Ritchie. Ritchie, this is Julian.”
“Oh, Nice to meet you Ritchie.” Julian said as he sat down next to Emily. I saw Emily scoot away from Julian while he sat down. “Uh, Yeah. You too.” I said. Just keep minding your own business. I just ate my sandwich.
It was 12:10 and people started to leave, including Jane and Ro. I decided to leave too. I needed to find my class. “Hey Rich, what's your next class?” Ro asked. “It's English.” Rich said. “With who? Who is your teacher?” Ro asked again. I looked down at my class schedule. “Uh, Mr.Belanger.” I replied. “Well, I guess you're stuck with me.” I heard Ro say. Really, I have 2 classes with Ro already. I saw her grab my class schedule as we headed to the Grade 9 locker hall. “Ah, You also have Music with the whole group. Cool. You have science with Eddie and Emily for your Homeroom.” I heard her say. Wow. I have a lot of friends in all my classes. Sweet. This year won't be that bad after all. I headed to my locker with Ro and went to our next class together. (Which is English) I guess I'm gonna get closer to this group.
     We finally got to English.  The Hallways are crazy. We were in class and I sat in the front row in the corner with Ro. I saw the teacher with a red beard and mustache. A generally friendly looking dude. He stopped at where I was sitting and faced me. Ro just sat back like she would have a tub of popcorn in her hands and was just watching. I got really scared. I faced her for advice on what to do and she just nodded at me. I rolled my eyes and turned back around to still see the teacher standing there. “Hey, you must be the new kid. Come.” He said. He gestured me to come and stand in front of the class. I lifted myself off my seat to stand in front of the Class. “Ok, this is the new kid in our class. Make him feel welcome and we will ask you a few questions. Just say your name.” the teacher said. “I'm Ritchie.” I said not expecting more. As soon as I was gonna go back to my desk, the teacher said “Ok, now you can ask him questions if you want.” I hated my life right now. I didn't want to ask any questions. I didn't want anyone to raise their hand. The only hand that went up was Ros hand. “Yes Ro.” the teacher said. “I was just wondering, where did you come from and why did you come here?” she said staring at me like she intended to do this to annoy me. “Well…” I gave her a look then I continued. “I came from Vancouver Island and I came here for a new job my dad got. I came to this school because I heard it was the best school in the area.” I said trying to make it sound as professional as I could. I made my way back to my seat and punched Ro in the arm under the desk. She giggled under her breath. It was adorable.
