Chapter 2:
As I met my friends over by the lockers, all their jaws were dropped. “Wh- wh- who was th-th-that?” Alana said shyly. “No one.” I answered my closest thing to a relaxed expression at that time. “She said, who was that!” Said Sam. I couldn’t take it anymore, “That was the new kid!” I spoke a little loudly than I should’ve. Everybody in the hallway turned to face my friends and I. We acted cool, and I pointed at a random person walking by. Cool and casual, yeah that’s always the way to go.
It felt like the day wouldn’t go fast enough, I couldn’t wait till lunch. As the bell rang, I practically jumped out of my seat and ran out the door. My friends finally caught up with me. While gasping for breath Marley asked me, “What? You got a hot date? And if you do I am mad at you for not telling me!” I laughed. “I’m just going to have lunch with Spencer.” I answered calmly. “Why?” Asked everybody, sounding like a quire. They all said jinx at the same time until I said, “Jinx! Now you guys have to be quiet while I talk for once!” They all nodded in agreement but trying to keep serious. “ It turns out me and Spencer were old neighbors when we were like 7 years old. He had to move away though, it was really sad.” I said. “Ohhhhh.” They all answered. “So me and him want to catch up that’s all.” I stopped Marley just about as she was going to comment. “That’s all.” I said in conclusion.
As I got my lunch and looked around, I spotted Spencer waving his hands like an idiot to get my attention. He always was the little goof ball. I sat down with him and we both got quiet. Finally he spoke, “Okay so where to begin?” He said with a mouth full of food. “Huh?” I said muffled realizing I looked just as much as a slob as he did. Hunched over my food with a mouthful of sloppy joes. I swallowed hard, “Oh, umm why don’t you tell me why you had to leave.” I answered. He got really quiet and started to look around, “Umm dad..He…uhh…. had a job thingy…yea.” He said looking kind of nervous. “Awe, I remember I cried so much the night you left. I thought I was never going to see you ever again since we were too little to understand.” I said with a half smile. “Yeah me too… even though we were really little you were my best friend.” He said in return. I continued eating, every once in a while I glanced up at him. Wow did he grow up. His tooth-missing grin was now replaced with a pure white, straight smile. His short, light brown hair had grown out just above his eyes. I thought, God he is beautiful.
