"Hi! You must be Alissa, the new girl,"
Ally turned around to face the stranger that was apparently
talking to her.
"Oh hi," Ally forced a smile for the millionth time that day. She
was almost positive that she hadn't truly smiled since this
morning with Ryan, "Yeah, I am. But you can call me Ally."
"Well, hi Ally!" Alissa fought down an urge to cringe away from
this loud, not to mention annoying voice, "I'm Melissa!"
"Hi," Ally repeated. She wanted nothing more than to get away
from Melissa. Melissa opened her mouth to say something, but was
instantly interupted.
"Hey, um, Ally. Mr. Evans wants to talk to you," a familiar voice
said. Ally turned around, recognizing Hailey from my third
period, math.
"Thanks Hailey," Ally smiled, and allowed herself to be led away
away.
"Why does he want to talk to me?" she asked.
"He doesn't," Hailey answered grinning, "I just thought you might
appreciate getting dragged away from her."
Ally laughed, "Seriously? Thanks!" she smiled widely.
"No problem. Do you want to sit with me at lunch?" Hailey asked
kindly.
"Yeah, that'd be great," Ally said, feeling thankful and excited.
She followed Hailey to the cafeteria, and was immediately
introduced to a dozen girls.
"Ally, this is Aimee, Kaitlyn, Elena, Blaire, Carlie, Eva, Riley,
Lily, and Adrienne," Hailey managed to say in a single breath,
"And everyone, this is Ally."
Ally would never have remembered what followed in the next few
minutes. It was all just a overwhelming whirlwind of girls
hugging her, and welcoming her, and claiming her. Alissa forgot
most of their names by the time they calmed down. There was just
one girl who stood out to her; Adrienne.
Adrienne had just sat there, picking at her lunch, occasionally
her eyes would dart up with a cold stare. Apparently, Ally wasn't
the only one that had noticed.
"Hey, Adrienne, are you okay?" a girl Ally vaguely remembered as
a Carlie asked.
Adrienne's eyes flashed with annoyance before she spat, "Fine,"
from between her teeth. Alissa blushed furiously, and kept her
eyes down. Within minutes of meeting Adrienne, Ally had the
distinct idea that she hated her.
"I, um, I'll go get something to eat," Alissa said, sliding out
from between Carlie and Elena. They smiled to show that they had
heard her, and then Alissa walked toward the line that was
quickly forming. She was standing there not thirty seconds when
she heard another, beautifully familiar voice.
