MIDDLE SCHOOL 1, Alejandra [phonics readers TXT] 📗

As I walked down the halls of my knew school, I hear voices everywhere asking "who is that girl". I would love to tell them all "I'm Rachelle, I'm twelve and favorite color is purple" but I wouldn't dare to do it on my first day of school.
My mind is racing with questions waiting to be answered. I look at my schedule of classes and headed for my first class. I wondered in and bumped into someone. "Watch it" said the person. "sorry" and turned. I turned to see the teacher looking at me and told me to go ahead and look at the seating chart and then take a seat.
It says I sit in between two boys. To my left is Mark, orangy, red frizzy hair, Hazel eyes, round glasses and braces. To my right is Luke, shaggy brown hair with black streaks , sea green eyes, and retainers. I head over to my desk with my arms draped over books, press them against my chest and slide casually into my seat, lay out my books and stare straight ahead.
I can feel the eyes of everyone on me, boring holes into me from all over. I turn to meet the glare of two girls, who introduce them selves with a fake smile on their faces. Their names are Annabelle and Lucy, Annabelle has shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes, while Lucy had long dirty blonde hair and dark blue eyes. The teacher asked me to stand up and introduce myself. I stood up and tied to put some confidence in my voice “ I'm Rachelle & I just moved here.” I sat down quietly, as I did I heard lots of whispering. The bell just rung, I stood up to grab my books, I noticed two sheets of papers folded neatly in fours. When did they get there ? I wondered. I found out I had two classes with Luke and Annabelle, one with Lucy , and three with Mark.
The rest of my three classes were the same. It was lunch time. I headed out towards the cafeteria, were to sit, aah! An open seat in the middle of the cafeteria. I took out one of the notes from my back pocket, it was from look. It said:
Hey! My name's Luke u can sit with me at lunch.
Wow. KK. So um..... were is he then, I stood up and searched. There he was walking in towards me.
“Hey! Rachelle ? Right ?” he said sliding in next to me.
“Um... Yeah! Luke?” I said even though I already knew it was. There was one question in my mind that I wanted to ask him.
“Yeah” was all he said and started eating. I mean wat did I expect. I couldn't eat cause I was to busy wondering y he was sitting next to me, so I asked him.
He said “ Well because it's your first day and I know how it feel how to be knew and also because you're pretty” I was flustered and couldn't respond until He said “Y r u blushing? Don't u get that a lot.?” Well actually no one has ever called me pretty ( if u exclude my parent) then no. So I told him “ Um... Actually, Luke, no okay!” was all I said.
“Wow girl take it easy” He said backing off.
“ Sorry. It's just idk, wat happened no one beside my parent has ever called me pretty.”
“O ! it's okay don;t worry” He said before asking a question, which was if we had any classes together.
“ um.. yeah 2, homeroom and P.E”
“ cool” he said with a big smile on his face.
“Hey do u know these to girls in homeroom, um,,, Annabelle and Lucy ?!” I said hoping he did.
“Yeah, y?” he asked. That was a good question.
“ O!! um... cause they were glaring at me during homeroom”
“ they are only jealous that your the knew chick and that everyone is talking about u and not them. Lets just say they are the “popular” girls” he said making quotation signs while he said popular.
“ O!!!” I said for like the millionth time. “ but wat are they to be jealous about I'm only the knew girl for a day or two so it won't matter any ways” I said trying to materialize everything I said into my brain. Then he said “ they are also, probably jealous because I'm hanging out with u and bot them.” he said with a soft chuckle. I tried to smile, but seriously wat is there to be jealous about if look was just chilling with me during lunch, seriously. As if Luke could read my mind.
He said "there are jealous because u r beautiful” he said just loud enough so half the cafeteria could hear. I blushed. I mean come on I wasn't BEAUTIFULL. I had shoulder length curly wavy brown hair with natural highlights of gold and a orangy red color, with plane brown eyes and retainers. ( I had just gotten my braces off two weeks ago) There was nothing BEAUTIFULL!! about me. I mean HELLO?? But I guess he did.
