Not my Home Chapter 2 "Morning Rina." I see Clara looking

Not my Home
Chapter 2


"Morning Rina." I see Clara looking at me. "It's your first day. You don't have to go if you don't want to though" I rub my eyes.
"No it's fine. Let me get dressed and I'll be out in five minutes." Clara leaves. I take out my favorite belly shirt and jeans. The shirt only shows a bit of my stomach, but this is what I saw in all the magazines. I walk into the kitchen. Clara's jaw drops and Jessi covers her mouth with her hand.
"You know you can borrow some of Jessi's clothes." I shrug. "Really, it might look a bit better"
"I'm fine thanks. Anyway how long am I staying here?" I start playing with the cereal in my bowl.
"What do you mean Rina?" Clara looks confuzed.
"I mean, I'm not like Sarah and Brendan. I still have a parent whose alive and back home. He went to rehab so we don't have to worry about anything like when I was younger. My mom never pressed charges and I'd rather stay there." 
"I understand that you might not be comfortable in a new country, but your mother's-note- said that she wanted you all with us here. She trusted us with you. Let's try to respect her wish okay?" She sounds hurt and worried.
"I'd rather not Clara. I'm a freaking loser here. I even sound different from all of you. Sarah and Brendan don't remember Terri but I do. And frankly you remind me too much of her." I stay calm, a skill I learned when talking to guidance counselors.
"Um I think it's time to go Mom. Let's go Rina. Are you sure you don't want a shirt?" I don't even look her in the eyes as I climb into the back of the car. I just remember my dad's letter from when I was younger after he left. He always said I could come if I needed him and he was sorry. 
"Have a good day girls. Jessi show Rina to her locker and find someone in her first class alright? I love you both"
"Love you too mom!" Jessi kisses her on the cheek while I silently climb out the car. 
I hear a guy whistle and I turn around to see a couple of guys, a bit attractive, staring right at my bum. "Didn't know we were getting new students this late in the year? Jess whose this hot girl and why the hell is she with you?"
"A girl whose not interested. As you can tell by my voice I don't belong here and hopefully I'll be gone soon." I turn and feel my straightened brown hair fly behind me. Someone taps me on the shoulder and my head snaps back. A boy grabs my schedule from my hand.
"Perfect I'll show you to your first class. Same history don't worry its Asian history so we don't have any advantage. Luca by the way."
"Rina. Bye Jess I'll see you and Clara at the end of the day." She looks about to protest but Luca drags me away. 
"Van new girl here. Seeing as you're blowing my friend I get to hang with your new one."
"New friend?" We say simultaneously. "Why are you here anyway?" she asks after a pause.
"Mum hangs herself and I'm stuck with her sister and Jessi over there."
"Sorry" I shrug. "But your shirt's cute. You guys can come over my place after school today my parents are out. " Luca mutters something like as always while other people laugh. "And they forgot to lock the liquor cabinet." She smiles maliciously and I can't help but wonder what type of mess I'm stuck in.
