Chapter 1

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.
