My Life with the Boys
Chapter 2
"Huh? An all boys' school? Um, what are you talking about?" I asked. This couldn't be a joke, could it?
The other boy nodded. "Yeah, everyone here is a boy, don't you see? I'm Luke."
I widened my eyes and took a seat next to him just as the bus started moving.
"If this is some kind of sick joke.."
"It's not. I'm telling you the truth. Why would I be lying?"
"Why would my dad send me to an all boys' school?"
"Well, maybe that's 'cause it's the only high school in the area?"
I was quiet for a moment. That part was true. When I was still living with my mom, I would visit during most of the holidays, so I had come to know this town pretty well. But I had no idea it was an all boys' school!
"Then what about the girls who live here? Where do they go?" I asked Luke.
He responded, "There aren't many kids living in this area, and for some reason, the ones that do live here are mostly males. The females have to get homeschooled or drive to the nearest school, which is about 2 hours away from here."
Man, that was tough. How come I never knew about this?
"Then how come I'm going here?"
Luke shrugged. "I don't know, but there are exceptions once in a while. You're one of them."
Then so be it. "Oh," I sighed. "Well, I'm Tarynn. Could you show me around school?"
He nodded and grinned. "Definetely. Show me your schedule."
I quickly pulled out the yellow sheet of paper with my day's agenda on it.
The paper read: Biology, chemistry, calculus, lunch, gym, english, history, and physics.
"You're a sophomore, right?"
I nodded my head yes. Phew, thank God he's in the same grade as I am.
Luke scanned over all my classes, calculating which ones we had together.
It turned out we both had biology, lunch, gym, and english at the same periods.
I counted myself really lucky, actually. Luke seemed like a reliable person, at least a friend.
"Well, it looks like you'll be spending a lot of time with me, Tarynn."
