" let's all introduce ourselves "
He repeated, this time with patience. He pointed to Alessie and motioned to come forward. Smiling, Alessie spoke
" Hi, I'm Alessie Vinogrado. Nice to meet you all "
she said but the teacher cut in
" from which school "
He asked almost immediately. ' oh no ' Alessie thought but she immediately composed herself.
" Charming High sir "
she said smiling and mentally thanked her stars for getting out of that fix. Almost all the class gasped as she went to seat down.
" wow! I've heard of that place I mean school "
" yup, it's one of the best "
a girl said but was interrupted by another.
" still, Green Field's the best "
" you can say so "
The girl said shrugging. After Alessie, June stood up and walked to the front
" look at her "
" I bet she grew up in a farm "
" such a nerd "
the students said murmuring and Alessie felt bad for her. June ignored them and cleared her throat.
" I'm June Winters from Yankee High "
she said hurriedly. She left and the teacher called another student out.
" June "
Alessie called softly. June nodded.
" I'm fine "
she said and brought out her note. The teacher taught them and left after the introductions. Suddenly, a tall girl stood up on a chair
" Attention everyone! "
She said raising her voice which diverted everyone's attention to her immediately. Smiling, she said
" We'll be having a party for the newbies "
she said gleefully.
" wow! "
" oh goody "
" A party? "
Everyone said excitedly until someone said
" But the nerdy girl's excluded "
