It was unusually very loud and the atmosphere would be warm near the place where I sit. But it was not the same case today, the two girls who sat behind me were talking about my friends ‘Dalia’ and ‘Rachel’, being a show off and being rude.

I pretended like l did not hear anything. I actually wanted to slap them right in their faces but, I did not want to wast time on listening to rumors and bring myself down to their levels. I knew that one of the girl named ‘Olivia’ did not like Rachel because Rachel was very close to olivia's crush.

Someone called out for me and I turned to look at who it is, it was Sandra, she looked pale. she brought the book that I gave her this morning and she stretched the book towards me with a smile. And I reached for my book with hesitation, because I knew she had something in her mind. And I wanted to know what was going on with her, but i did not ask her anything at that time. I pretend nothing is bothering so that she won't feel uncomfortable.

In the morning...

I entered the my class. I saw few students in the class already seated. "Hi Dalia" I said as I entered , and and she smiled and waved her had at me in response. Vivian and Rachel were sitting near her. like no other day Dalia and Rachel were talking about cute idols in the morning and Vivian was focused in her studies. I went to my seat and I sat down.A new student came to our class. Our class teacher Miss Grace introduced the new student to all of us, " this is Sandra, treat her will all of you, and you can take the seat near the window Sandra" said Ms.Grace.

Sandra walked towards me looking down and smiled at me as she looked at my face and sat in front of me. Our first period got over and I saw Sandra sitting all alone. no one talked to her cause all the other students were busy with their own work. And she seemed sad being alone, so I called and and said "Hello, I am Josie " and then i noticed her earing it was heart shaped and silver in colour with three pink stones on it, I did not like it that much but nor did I hate it, As I looked at her I said "I love your earing, it is so cute", she smiled and and her eyes turned to a thine line. I now knew she was comfortable.

Then I called my friends and introduced her to my friends Dalia,Vivian and Rachel. Rachel and Sandra became friends in no time, it almost felt like they knew each other for years, as the spoke about their favorite actors, singers and Idols.

second period ended

As the bell rang we invited Sandra to come spend the break with us. We made her feel that she was one amongst us. she said she had to move here because of her sisters medical treatment. we went to the ground and we walked near the garden. Then a boy with glasses walked towards us and said Hi to Sandra. the expression on her face changed. she said 'Hi' with a stright face. he asked us if he can talk to her alone, And he looked at me and my friends with a questioning eye in request of permission. ''sure'' said Rachel and Dalia, Vivian and I nodded. The way he looked at me was different. It almost felt like he could see through me and all of my thoughts. Interesting..I smiled to myself and we left Sandra alone with him so they could talk.

Later that evening.

I did not know what they talked about but she seemed a bit down. I asked if Rachel knew something, but she said ''every time I ask her she tries to change the topic and never answers my questions''. so I called Sandra and I asked her what is wrong, but before she could answer I stopped her and I said "you don't have to answer if u don't want to" and she looked down I raised her face up and then I smiled.

I wanted to know what is her story of life is like. I already knew she was sweet, strong, kind, and funny from the way she talks with Rachel, but I wanted to know more about her life.

She took a deep breath and said "nothing important" I gave her a sarcastic look, And asked her to stop worrying and said that "changing schools is not a big deal, you will get used to this place", Even though I knew that was not something she was worried about.

she said that’s not it, then I looked at her raising a brow. Then she said the boy that we meet at the garden was her ex-boyfriend's friend. and she got to know that her ex was in 'This School'. And he moved here after they broke up two months ago.

.

Yesterday after knowing about Sandra. I wanted to know what happened between her and ex-boyfriend. But there was something more important on my mind, And that was the work given by our News club leader Jim on the topic "News of the day", we have thirteen members in our group. We had to collect information on students and their daily lives and if something is important. And we have to post the news on school news website. Our club was almost like a place for sharing gossips. We only post some of the small things that happen at our school.

"Can we come see how the club work is going?, And I also want to know some hot topic if possible" Asked Dalia by making a cute face and hanging on to my hand, but I was still able to see the Devil’s horn pointing out of her head to see Leo so I said "the finalisation on the news is not yet done, so you have to wait". But the true reason for her to come was because she wanted to see "Leo Austin" her dream boy. But I have to talk her out of it so i said "how about tomorrow?", because we have a lot of free time tomorrow at the club. And so she bought it, what a relief. Because the last time she meet leo she literally was frozen to stone.

After classes.

We always have two hours after classes to spend time for our clubs called "Innovation time or the IT" which was four days a week. Our club room was on the third floor so i had to take the stairs. I had to do a research on the characters of people, their likes and dislikes. On the way to our club room I saw the boy who talked to Sandra, he was with one of our club member. He was talking to 'Danial Steve' who is my friend, I have known Danial for a month now. I was running late so I went to the club room. And did not pay a lot of attention to their conversation.

In the club room.

Leo was already working on the name list of students we collect info about, we already had so many stories, but we still needed the best. I went and sat in the chair next to him, he didn't even notice that I was here. So I called him "Leo" he did not answer me, so I yelled "Leeyoo" while I shook his shoulder. And then he looked at me and said sorry that he didn’t pay attention.

"I am having some trouble with the story of the girl from class 8-3, and i have no idea how to complete it without further information" he sighed. May I take a look at it I asked. He nodded in response. I smiled at his handwriting and I said ''I seriously need a translator to understand your notes''.

"Ok, so this girl Clara is a good singer, but she is not able to sing in the choir because Clara and the lead singer of the choir are not in good terms but they were once good friends.. Bla bla bla…, I feel bad for her, I think we should find what is the actual reason, I have heard the lead singer of the choir is a sweet and warm-hearted girl" I said.

"sounds good, Josie" said Danial. I did not notice Danial standing at the corridor with the boy who meet Sandra. "yes doesn't it?" I asked. And I asked "who is this new member with you?", This is 'Stephen kris "he’s like my brother, and my old friend. he will be joining our club starting today" Said Danial placing his hand on Stephen’s shoulder.

Now I remembered that two days back I was given a new entry form of a student joining our club but i was not expecting this new boy i meet with Sandra. All the members of our group were busy with the info of students we collected, So I went to Stephen, "so we meet again, Stephen" I said, "yes, I did not think I would see you here", he said and looked at me and smiled. I introduced myself " I’m Josie, you can call me Joe". He asked how long have I been In this club. I said two years. The two years was so much fun.

''You dont have any work right now, Right? '' I asked. ''Yes, do you have anything for me?, I am so bored'' he said with a sigh. ''Hmm, we should ask about it to Leo, he may have somlthing in mind'' I smirked as his eyes searched for Leo in the room. So to get his attention I asked ''Are you new to our school, I have not seen you before yesterday?''. He said he just joined a week back.

As we were talking Danial came to us and asked me ''Hey girl, are you interested in my bro?'' in a teasing way. And I said ''Nah, I’m good'' I smirked and stared at Danial. Stephen chuckled and said ''don't mind Danial he is always like that'' and I smiled at him. Stephen asked ''guess you and Danial are close?''. And I said " yes we are, but he mostly likes to get on my nerves all the tim...". Then Danial interrupted me and said " first let's get Stephen some intro to his work here" and changed the topic so I also agreed and went to Leo to ask if Stephen has some work he can help with.

"Leo, is there any work for kris to do?" We asked. Leo said "Joe and Stephen can work on the info about that Clara girl". "It is a good idea that you guys work together" said Danial. So Stephen and I accepted.

.

In the club room.

Leo told that I would be working on Clara's story with Kris. He doesn’t know much about our club so Danial thought it is a good way for Kris to start understanding what we do here. Besides Leo put me incharge and I love to know about interesting stories. But I still don’t know how it is going to be with kris staying by my side all the time. I am worried if he is up for all the sneaky stuff.

"So, what should I start with, to help you?" Asked kris. "Meet me when you have PE (Physical Exercise) tomorrow, I heard from Danial that we both have PE at the same time, then we will decide how we will get started" I said. I gave him the notes about Clara that was collected by Mishal.

Mishal was 'the one who was working on that story before us. And he was looking through what we already know about Clara, he seemed pretty interested while reading it.

When I looked at the way Kris was reading the notes he kind of reminded me of myself. I like knowing about others life and was also interested to solve their problems because if I liked the story I hear I want to see how the story ends, not because I care but I like when things are Intense and interesting, That is how I am. Bigger the spice of the story, bigger my interest in it.

When I was looking at him, I kinda felt the same, now that I look at him he is really good looking and cute with perfectly sculpted jawline, soft lips and smooth dark black hair, not bad, I smirked. While I was watching him read, he caught me staring at him. So I turned to Leo to ask some questions about Clara. It felt like I was caught red handed.

Immediately I looked at Leo, "Leo, why is this Clara so important that you said us to find out what happened?" I asked while kris was looking at me. Leo said "well, she is one of the most amazing singer in the choir, and our school has a big chance winning the 'ELV' (Ever loved Voice) inter school competition if she is there in it", but I did not understand what one girl could do.

"Leo, it is not a solo but a group performance, how can one girl make a difference?" I asked. He said that she is our school's best singer so it will increase the chances of winning if she is the lead singer, but right now she is not even in the choir group, she used to be in our choir no matter what till last month.

Leo got to know about it when Mishal was looking into Clara. So now after hearing about her I want to surely know what happened.

Next day

Dalia reminded me that she will come with me to the club room today. And I also accepted to take her in the end of the day. I had PE class at our third hour, And now all I have to do was wait till my PE class get started.

I said "Dalia, I need your help with something. Can you inform our PE teacher that I am not feeling well so I won't be able to come to the class". "But why?, you seem well to me, is something wrong?" she asked, I said " No no, I am good but I have some things to do, so I can't Come". Finally I convinced her to cover for me.

PE time.

Our second period got over and now slowly everyone started to leave the class. After few minutes Kris came to our class. "Stephen Kris the great, what took you so long to come?, was ur secret duty stopping you from coming fast?" I asked in a teasing way. "OK ok. Stop teasing me, I had to think of a way to distract my classmates from seeing me ditching PE" he said as he came close to me and looked me in the eye with a pitiful face acting all cute. "Was it that hard?, think of a way and fast, because we have so much ditching to do" I said while patting his head. "what was that for..?" He asked with wide eyes. " its just that you look like a puppy " I said and moved toward the door and asked if he is not coming, he followed and came.

So now we are going to the choir room to see if someone is there. Hoping we could get some info about the problem. "what if no one is there in the choir room?" asked Kris. I said " they always have practice at the third period, so they will be their ". We saw the lead singer walking out of the choir room as we reached the club room. I was really Curious because She seemed angry and stormed out.
