Too Good to Be True

Chapter 2

"Sure we do. Right, Fitz?" Keefe said with a pointed look.

"No, you don't. I'm gonna go find myself a partner. Bye."

Sophie wandered off a bit, before settling her eyes on a girl.

"Hi. My name is Sophie. I'm new. I was wondering if you wanted to be partners with me."

"Sure. I'm Marella." She held out her hand and Sophie shook it.

"Let's get started, shall we?"

"Keefe I forbid you from making more fun of even more than you have already." Sophie glared at him.

"Yeah, not a chance." He said.

Sophie and  Keefe were walking to the nurse's office, because of an angry welt on Sophie's wrist. Which was because of her chemistry skills. She had made the substances explode. Now, the entire classroom was covered in purple goop. Luckily, she was the only one to get some on her skin. 

"Well, it's better than what I did in my old school."

Keefe stopped in his tracks. "What did you do?"

"Like I would tell you."

It just so happened, that Sophie had blown up the chemistry lab in her old school. Completely totally ruined it. They had to have chemistry for a month in the other lab because of it. Ms. Galvin had automatically started hating her as soon as that had happened. Luckily, they had arrived at the nurse's office, so Sophie was saved from telling Keefe what had happened. 

"Hi! I'm Elwin, the school nurse. How can I help you?"

Sophie was greeted by a wild haired man, with glasses, and... purple dinosaur covered scrubs?

"I, um, burnt myself."

"Nothing I can't fix."

10 minutes later, Sophie turned around to go back to class with Keefe, but he wasn't there. He proabably didn't care about her. For some reason, Sophie felt kind of hurt, but she shrugged it off. It didn't matter. He was a popular guy who had cared about her for an hour and didn't care anymore.

She opened the door and..."You didn't think I'd forgotten about you, did you, Foster?"

"NO! Though it's not like I care if you did."

He put a hand to his head. "You've wounded me Foster."

"You're worse than a drama queen."

"I try." He smirked and winked.

Finally, lunch. She started toward the cafeteria with her stomach making inhumane noises. Who knew someone could be so hungry? Though she was anxious to play some football. That's what they always did at lunch in her old school at least. She hoped they did that here too. Football always helped her feel better. 

She walked into the cafeteria and saw Fitz and Keefe sitting at a table with a brown haired girl. She was obviously Fitz's sister. There was also a boy and a girl. Each of them had black hair tipped with silver. The boy looked emo, but the girl looked nice enough. 

"Foster! You coming?" Keefe called.

She didn't know whether to find Dex or just to go to the table, but she was hungry, so she just sat down at their table.

"Hi. My name is Linh. And this is my brother Tam."

"Hey." That was  the black haired boy.

"Hi. I'm Sophie Foster."

"My name is Biana." And that was Fitz's sister. 

"Nice to meet you all."

"Okay, so Foster, I was telling them about the great Foster explosion, in chemistry."

Sophie groaned. "It does not need a name Keefe."

"Well now it has one."

Sophie started eating. She was too hungry to listen to Keefe making fun of her.

"Okay, well we are going now. Going to play some football or at least pass the ball around."

Sophie perked up. "Can I come?"

Keefe and Fitz looked at each other. "You sure?" Keefe said.

"Ya."

"Okay then."

They headed outside and started passing a football around. Sophie caught every one they threw her with one hand. And threw them back in a perfect spiral. 

"Are we playing a game or not?" Sophie asked with an eyebrow raised.

"You're sure?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?..." then it hit her, "I get it. You guys think because I'm a girl I can't play?"

"No... well..."

"Try me."
