“I'm an angel of course.” She winked at me.

I froze in mid-smile.

“W-What?” I stammered and everyone looked at me in surprise. Even I was surprised that I was stuttering, but this girl had appeared in my dream. This was not normal.

She laughed such a melodic laugh that we all focused back on her.

“No I'm not an actual angel, you idiots. Actually I might be,” She gave me a silly grin which I could only picture her mastering. “But I'm a normal person like you. My name is Angel.” She offered her hand for me to shake.

I took it and shook while still in a daze. She had super soft skin, but her palms felt so sure of themselves. She felt so sure of herself.

“I'm here for the next two or three months, transferred from West Virginia.” That ever-lasting smile stayed on her lips as she dropped my hand.

I shook my head lightly and gave my brain a tight slap. “Welcome to Spring Hills I guess.” I smiled back at her and everyone gave their introductions – not that she needed those.

“So which one of you are gonna go to history right now?” She grinned at us.

Err… I raised my hand, “Me. Wanna tag along?” I stepped towards her.

“Sure,” She grinned and something about her made me think that she knew it all along that I was going with her.

We all said our goodbyes, and I headed out for my class. We both talked along the way, and she told me a little of her background, and I told her a little of mine. The class wasn’t that far, so we couldn’t chat long. I wanted to get to know her.

The teacher, sadly, interrupted our talking when we entered the class and told us to sit down. She sat two seats down from me, and I could feel her hawk eyes on the black board all the time. After class, we talked a little more, and she told me she was pursuing art, that’s why she had taken humanities for the time being.

I wished her best of luck, and she wished me right back. After the first four classes, we headed down to the cafeteria, while she showed me some of her sketches. They were so good, I actually wanted to buy them from her. I'm sure my siblings wouldn’t mind.

When we entered the cafeteria, she went off to get her lunch tray. Then I heard Lana’s voice call out, “Hey Angel! Come on over! You can sit with us.”

She smiled appreciatively and sat down between the twins.

We kept chatting about random things but somehow, my gaze always flickered to her. She was smiling at everyone and what they said like she knew something nobody else did – like she was enjoying some kind of an inside joke.

She caught my gaze and winked at me, and I quickly stuffed some of the peas I had brought for lunch into my mouth. She laughed but everyone was lost in their own. Recess ended after five minutes, and we all set off for our own classes. Surprisingly, her every class was with me. Whether I should’ve been surprised or not, that was a mystery to me.

For the rest of the day, we all had fun like we usually did, just we included Angel into it. We hung out in the library, creating a ruckus at our table till the librarian kicked us out. We laughed at his face, at the very door.
