Mrs. Hill walked in and stood in the middle of the classroom with somebody in arms. “Good morning class, we have somebody new with us at Bais Chana. This is Bella Santiago, and she’s from Phoenix. So show her some respect and be friendly.” Mrs. Hill smiled and walked out of the room.

Mr. Elliot walked up to her and smiled. “Hi, I’m Mr. Elliot. This is American History, welcome.”

Bella smiled and pushed her hair behind her hair. “Thank you.”

“You can take a seat anywhere.” She smiled and saw Shane looking at her. She smiled and winked at Shane.

Alice looked at Shane and then Bella. She leaned over to Shane. “Do you know her?”

“I met her yesterday, she gave me a ride home.” Bella walked past Shane and took a seat behind her.

“Did you ***** her yet?”

Shane shot her eyes at Alice. “For god sakes, no. I just met the girl.”

Alice shrugged her shoulders. “I was just asking.” Shane turned around and smiled at Bella. She smiled and waved at her. Shane turned back around and paid attention to the teacher.

“Alright, Bette continue on about the Watergate Scandal.” Mr. Elliot leaned against his desk as Bette continued to talk. Bella tapped Shane on the shoulder and slid her a piece of paper. Shane took it and opened it.

            Can you help me out with my way around here?

                        Bella XoXo

Shane grabbed her pen and began to write.

            Sure, can you give me a ride after school? I can’t stand getting one from Alice; she’s a blood-sucking *****.

                        Shane

She folded the paper back up and handed it back to her. Bella snickered and leaned close to Shane. “Sure, I can do that.”  Shane smiled and continued to listen to the lecture that Mr. Elliot was giving.

            The bell rang, and everybody began to get up. They began to walk out of the class room and head down the hall.

“I guess you can say that was intriguing study we had today.” Bette held her books close to herself.
