The New Kid - Chapter 2: Hello, Blake =]

"Cel, Cel, Cel, CELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! Where is he?"
She looked at me and just laughed
"Cel, Tell me!!"
"You make me laugh, Ariel. He's not here yet... the principal told me he'd be here around lunch time." Of course she talked to the principal... she has to know everything! It's kind of funny!
"Ok" I guess I was a little disappointed... but kind of guilty that I wanted to meet this new kid more than my boyfriend... I really didn't want to see Mike at all today, it's just been rough around him recently; but to my misfortune around the corner he comes in his red Ferrari. Everyone envied him, and me for that matter, but I envy them. I never volunteered for all this popularity... at times I try as hard as I can to get rid of it! "Go ahead," I thought to myself "Just go ahead and make the biggest entrance possible, Mike... Whatever." I walked off to talk to the other girls on the cheer team without saying a word to him... Claire isn't going to be here till second period.
"Hey, Ariel, what's up with you and Mike?" Summer is one of our five flyers; she's so little compared to the rest of us.
"I don't know, Summer. He's just been, off..."
"I can tell... I'm sorry, I hope everything goes alright." Her smile just seems to brighten everyone's day; Summer's like a sister to all of us.
"Thanks." I gave her a huge hug and walked off to class. All this talk about Mike kept Celeste pretty quiet... I couldn't help but wonder why. My first class is Algebra 2 with Mrs. Keegeran... I really dislike that teacher! I walked to class with Summer since her class is right next door to mine. As usual Mrs. Keegran wasn't even teaching Algebra... she was going on about how her boyfriend and her broke up... Again... and we all knew that meant more homework. English is second period and Claire arrived about halfway through the class. She and I have seats together so we're always scribbling on a piece of paper in order to talk. Today's went something like this...

Claire: Did you hear about the new kid?
Me: Yeah, Cel told me all about it last night.
Claire: Are you serious? Tell me too! I know it's a guy but what's he like? What's he look like?
Me: I don't know, he's not here yet so I haven't met him... I do know his name is Blake, he's a Junior, and that He was really popular at his last school.
Claire: What else?
Me: Ummm, He's from Colorado... that's all I know!
Claire: Awww, man! I wish you knew more!
Me: Talk to Cel next period, she'll give you more details on him I'm sure... she talks to the principal a little too much. :P
Claire: Ugh! You know I don't like her...
Me: And why not? She's really nice...
Claire: ... whatever... anyway when is he coming?
Me: Around lunch time
Claire: Sweet!

That's pretty much it! The rest of English was boring talk about predicate adjectives and other stuff we learned years ago. In digital photography Mrs. Lense took us out to the football field to take some pictures of appealing things... the best picture and name of who took it was going up on the Main Board with all the other periods best picture. When the bells rang for lunch I was so excited I felt like I flew back inside...
"Claire!" I nearly ran into her.
"Ariel!" she mimicked
"He's coming!"
"I know! I'm way excited! Hey let's get in line to pay for the salad bar."
"Sounds good!"
Mike was over at the football table like usual, but I didn't care. I had my friends and food and I'll I could do was wait for the new kid. Claire and I had the whole table excited to greet this guy, but he never came. We waited and watched the only entrance the whole hour, but no one new came through it... The bell rang... "Well, see ya after school guys" after saying that I got up, disappointed, and walked to class unaware of my surroundings until I bumped into someone. "Oh, I'm so-" I had never seen this face standing before me, I paused and continued "sorry!"
"Oh, no, it's alright!" He just stared at me for a second with is deep blue eyes; I could swear those two seconds were an hour! "Uh, I'm Blake. I just got here and I don't really know where I'm going, where is Room 204? Mr. Canson's History class?"
"Oh, Hello, Blake! That's my next class! Follow me."
"Ok, thanks." I led him and his amazing chocolate colored curls down the hall to our history class. I felt like I couldn't breathe around him. I could barely talk, and for me that's a big deal. The rest of the day I couldn't get my mind off him; Even in my last class, Spanish 2, I couldn't focus and most likely failed my quiz. I couldn't wait to tell Claire what happened. When the bell rang I ran out the door to find her...
"Clair, Clair! I met him!"
"You did?! I thought he didn't show!"
"He did! Claire..." I glanced passed her for a second and noticed my mom waiting in her car around the corner... she wanted me to leave. It's been so weird with her recently... I mean what is her problem? I switched my tone to slightly upset, fast "Oh... My moms here... call me as soon as you get home! Promise!"
"Promise"
"Ok, talk to you soon..." I got in my car and drove home. My house phone rang not five minutes after I arrived with Claire's number.
"Hey, Claire! So, yeah I met him"
"Spill, Ariel, what's he like?"

I know a little cliff hanger, but I hope you like it :) -Desi
