chapter nine

After about two minutes of awkwardness she started a conversation. I was planning on it.but her initiation is very helpful.I hope I'm yet putting on my happy yet nervous face.( that's how new peoples faces are ,right!)

" hi,I'm Susan." she told me with a shy smile. " hi,I'm josaphine.I'm sort of new here.mm....actually.... I'm from...Jacksonville."

shit,I stammered. it was practiced.why girl?okay,come on.let's cover up.

she was helpfull too. " Jacksonville,its a lot of distance....maybe more crowdier too. .I'm located around here....my mom is a house maker and dad is a vet doc." she didn't ask.it was more of a statement. talking with Susan was easy.she wasn't the prying type.she kept on scribbling in between. so,there was no need to look at the face thing." my mom got transfered here.botanist.and I have an aunt working nearby...." I clarified while taking out my empty books.

I don't plan on taking down notes.yet,without these I dont have any thing in my bag.she didn't question me further.she just have me a piece of paper.

it was a puzzle ,normal,science ,books,movies and stuff.I tried solving.she helped in between.The class filled with people simultaneously.but we were absorbed in our little bubble. we were aware of the current state when teacher came in.she clumsily tucked the papers back into her bag." oh,Mr.Jacobson.chemistry" she mumbled to me.I absorbed the fact and copied her position.,that is sat straight in my chair.

I had a feeling that this might be the beginning of a good friendship.There were about two rows now filled with students. the first benchers were mostly putting on the mode of serious study.pens up...In our row,two people were sitting. two girls.dressed in lined skirts.blue and brown.tee-shirts which are not so formal.with enough makeup.the second one had an aura of luxury lurking around her. she laughs a lot but I am not convinced that her laugh is natural.The first one looked normal enough.( compared to the other).

" Ashen and Leslie." Susan told me pointing at my line of vision." they are the best friends.they are lively but never allow other people into their bench.looks studious but are not.mainly they prefer commenting on others .Ashen is more bitchy."she stated as a matter of fact.I'm beginning to love this girl.she's straight to the point. Ashen was the luxurious one.

Mr.Jacobson was wearing a plain black shirt and striped grey pants.He wore a thick rimmed spec's with a no nonsense look.He is the kind of teacher you see in let's _ inspire _the _ kid type of movies.He was the one currently the subject of commentary of Ashton & Leslie.
