chapter two

Alice
I had to go to the rich kid bus stop because my bus broke down.

Did you know that they have a different bus than us?

It looks yellower, and the seats don't have rips in any of them.

I decide to sit in the front.

I don't want to be in here any longer than I have to .

This is why you don't have friends, Alice.

I take a deep breath and the bus starts moving.

All of the loud and popular kids are on this bus.

They sit in the back.

Actually, they take up most of the bus.

I thought I would be early enough so that no one would be at the bus stop.

Once I saw that guy standing there in his big coat, I thought I would die of embarrassment.

He didn't say anything to me though, so that's a relief.

He sits with those kids, but just a little bit away.

He doesn't really look like he acts like them.

He's too quiet and almost non-snobby.

Weird.

I look at my hands in my lap.

I chew on my nails, so they are super short.

God why can't I be normal for once?

I start chewing on them again because thinking about chewing on them makes me nervous.

The bus arrives at the school and I rush off first.

I don't want those kids to look at me.

I quickly go down the hall to my locker and put my stuff in it.

My first class is History, so maybe I have a chance to sit in the back.

I walk into the classroom.

Nope.

There's a full classroom full of students looking directly at me.

Do something, Alice.

I look over to the teacher.

His name reads Mr.Holland.

He just stares at me, probably thinking that I'll say something.

"And your name is..?

Oh no.

I clear my throat, preparing myself to talk.

"Alice." I mumble.

"What was that?"

"Alice... Alice Fink." I look down at my shoes.

Mr.Holland looks at his clipboard then looks back at me.

"Take a seat, Alice Fink."

I look around the room.

The only seat is the one next to the pervy football player, Matt.

He looks disgusted when I sit down next to him.

"Okay everyone. Welcome to history! I'm Mr.Holland. Now, I wanna warn you that there will be a project next week, and you will have to be partnered up."
