I stood up and threw out my hand to help him up; gladly, he took it and pulled himself up. "Hey, sorry 'bout that. Im new here." He apologized but i shook my head, "Nah, it was my fault for rushing through the halls without looking where i was going." He laughed, letting his short curly hair bounce up and down with him. "Delpiero" he said, putting out his hand to shake, "Clarissa. Oh yeah, what class are you going to now?" I asked as i shook his hand.
"Eng Lit...i guess...?" He said, peering into his timetable, i smiled, "Alright! Follow me!" I offered; dragging him through the halls till we reached Mr.Thompson's class. The bell just rang as both of us stumbled in. "Sorry im late sir!" I said to Mr.Thompson, "Its alright Clarissa, just dont do again," i nodded and he smiled, "who's that?" He asked, pointing to Delpiero. "New kid" i told him, ushering Delpiero forwards and returning back to my seat.
"Psst, who's the new one?" Prisha asked me, "Delpiero. He just transferred here." I snickered. She just nodded and we gradually spread the news. "So thats the sad story of Romeo and Ju-" RING!!! "Ok guys, class's over. Clarissa? Delpiero? Could you two stay back for a while?" Mr.Thompson called out to me and him, "Sure!" I smiled and stayed put as the others headed to geography.
I felt Delpiero come up beside me as i walked down the class to Mr.Thompson, "Its alright," i whispered to him, "he isnt gonna kill us.." i laughed. "Mini?" I smiled and he laughed a bit, "Not now Clar, and thanks for the gift." I smiled and nodded, "Ok Mr.Thompson, whatcha need?" I questioned and watched confused as he pointed to the new kid. "Could you show him 'round? Ill inform your geography teacher you wont be attending his lessons for the day. Mr...?" "McQuaid" i smiled, he laughed cheerily and shooed me and him out playfully.
"Where do you wanna go first?" I asked him, he looked at me for a second and thought, "Canteen?" He offered and i nodded and we started there...
--all the school compounds later--
i sighed, we finally got through every place! Now we were gonna head for our break and i asked Delpi if he wanted to follow us but he refused and walked off. 'Weird kid..' i pondered and went off to find my friends. When i went there i saw another little girl sitting there with her friend. Sure, they were my friends but who were the other two girls?
I swear one of them looked so....familiar....She was visibly shorter than the rest, probably even Deepak and she had dark skin. Her hair was neatly tied in a ponytail and her eyes were full of life. I didnt recognise the other girl though, she was taller; maybe my height, her hair was short and her skin was lighter. I cleared my throat and sat in between Basim and Samarth.
The girl looked up as me, "Clar?" She questioned, i sat unmoving for awhile and then realization kicked in. "Sharr???" I sent a question back, standing up; she nodded and ran over to me. "You're ok!!!" She said hugging me tightly, i laughed and nodded.
"And who're you?" I asked the other girl politely, "Aanchal, pleased to meet you." She smiled. I smiled back and sat down.
--somewhere unknown--
~??? p.o.v~
"You did it? Did she say anything?"
I nodded.
"Good job, Delpiero"
