Elizabeth:
I thought switching to a new school was going to be HORRIBLE.
How could I have known that I would make incredibly cool friends right away? Or that I would meet a really CUTE guy?
I have to admit it:
I LOVE it here.
Jessica:
Here i was thinking a new school means new friends, and new BOYS.
Hardly. Everyone at Sweet Valley Junior High is so unfriendly I had to eat lunch with my DORKY locker partner.
I have to admit it:
I HATE it here.
"Hey, Brian," said a cute, dark-haired boy as he walked up to my locker partner. "Hey," the guy said to me.
"Hi," I said softly. Suddenly I was back to feeling shy again.
"Hey, Salvador. Ready to roll?" Brian said to the guy.
"Ready like Freddy," Salvador replied, and gave me a grin.
"This is Elizabeth," Brian said. "My locker partner."
"Lucky," Salvador said, and I blushed.
"Nice to meet you," I managed to say.
Brian gave me a little eyebrow wiggle and shut the locker door. "See you," he said.
I took a deep breath. "See you." I looked at Salvador, so he'd know I meant him too.
"Yes, I hope to see you soon," Salvador replied, emphasizing the last word, and making me blush again. Brian gave Salvador a little shove, and the two of them walked down the hall. I stayed where I was for a second, pressed up against the security of my locker.
That went okay, I told myself. See? The people here are nice. You'll make new friends.
I tried really hard to believe it.
