We belong together

Chapter 2

I snuggled into Chad's hoodie. I was suddenly cast into this new environment and all I really wanted was to feel Chad's strong arms holding me. But he was miles away. The only thing close to him I had was his hoodie. Which I decided never to wash. His scent made me feel secure and forget that my beloved boyfriend was miles away. When I walked into the school building I was surprised. The school is huge. How would I ever fit in here? And who would be my friend? The thought of starting from the beginning scared me. But then again everything is huge in L.A , even our house. When I walked into our new house my jaw dropped. The hallway was big but very beautiful with a big crystal lamp hanging from the ceiling. The sitting room had a very modern touch to it, black couches in each corner of the room, a glass table in the centre with vase of white roses resting on it. The flat screen TV was the biggest I'd seen so far. My dad's must have gotten a amazing job offer because judging by our house, we seemed to be rich. Not that we'd been poor before , but our house back at home was comfortable but ordinary.

'' Class , I gladly announce we have a new student in class'' Ms.Lula said in a loud, proud voice. She looked at me and asked in a sweet tone

''Would you like to introduce yourself?''

To be honest, I didn’t feel like it. But I nodded and figured, I would rather introduce myself than let Ms.Lula do it for me.

'' Hey, my name is Emilie '' I said , trying to sound as confident as possible but I became all tense and nervous when I could hear a few people sniggering.

”I’m 16 ... '' my voice trailed off, I had no idea what I wanted to say about myself to these people. I swallowed hard and kept quiet.

'' Is that all , dear ?'' Ms.Lula asked.

'' Um , yeah '' I answered , looking down at the floor.

 I heard someone laughing and I looked up and saw a guy covering his mouth , for a second we got eye contact. His blue eyes and my brown eyes. I shook my head , and started thinking about Chad. He's the only guy I should think of as handsome.

'' Well , Emelie '' Ms.Lula said , clearing her throat. '' We were just talking about this Art project that we are going to work on the next two weeks.I'll have to set you up with a partner .''  She said and smiled

 '' And you came in perfect timing. Because I was just going to partner up everyone ''

'' How about I partner  Jesse and ... Emilie ? '' She thought to herself loudly. Jesse was the guy that I had gotten eye contact with , he had brown hair but with blonde highlights.

'' No - '' Ms.Lula said, changing her mind '' I think it would be better if you are with a girl, Emilie '' she said smiling.

'' How about ... Brittany and Emelie ? , Yes that's good. Have a seat next to Brittany ''

Ms.Lula pointed at a girl with long blonde hair , with her back towards the teacher talking to a girl three row's behind her ;

 '' Yah. I'm so going to that party! '' She said and laughed.

 Her long tanned legs under the table were on the way for me to take a seat on my chair.

'' Excuse me '' I mumbled.

She spun around on her chair and looked at me as if I was a irritating fly'' Yes ? ''

'' I’m supposed to , err , sit here '' I answered quietly.

'' Oh.. '' She said, she moved her legs and stared at me.

''We're partners '' I continued, hoping she to start a conversation with me.

'' I know '' she said coldly '' I've already got an idea of what we are going to do ''

'' Okay, great '' I said, trying to sound as cheerful as possible.

She quickly stood up and walked to the other side of the classroom and for some reason winked at her friend she had been talking to. She came back with red and yellow paint in each hand .

'' I was thinking , we use red .... '' 

Brittany broke into  a hysterical laughter , and soon the whole class joined.

I felt something cold and icky on me, and I looked down at Chad's hoodie and saw that it was splattered with red paint.

The whole class was laughing and sniggering, I felt my cheeks flush and become hot. For a second I was about to break down and cry , after all this was Chad's hoodie. I decided to hold in my tears , I looked over at Jesse to see if he was laughing as well. Not that I liked him, but he seemed to be the one only I had made a connection with.

'' Oh, Brittany !'' Ms.Lula sighed, she shook her head in disappointment. '' Help Emelie clean up '' she demanded.

Brittany opened her mouth about to protest. But just that second Ms.Lula said in a loud voice ;

'' No , help Emilie. Take her to the toilet, and help her wipe her clothes''

Brittany rolled her eyes and left the classroom leading me to the girl toilet.

She spun around and glared at me ‘‘ In this school , we don’t like teacher’s pets"

she said coldly squinting her eyes.
