I headed straight to my locker to grab my things for my morning class once I was done and prepared to leave but was stopped by two girls which I am sensing are new. “Hi, really sorry to disturb but we are looking for the principal’s office. We are transfer students so would might leading us there please”one of the girls said “okay follow me” I told them leading the way. “by the way I am Amelia and this is my friend Emily” she introduced. “I’m Tessa Scott” I replied plainly. “wait you mean Tessa Scott as in EBS Groups the billionaire” “Emily beamed. “yeah” I replied plainly, “please can we be friends ” Amelia begged. I flashed a surprising look. “I mean we are going to see each other every day so it’s possible right” she added. I was at loss of words and right on time we arrive at the principal office “okay about you go in first and we meet later” they agreed and left. There is no way I am meeting with these two later on. On my way to class the bell rang shit I was late my first class was A.P English by the time I got to class peter already reserved my seat beside him as always “what took you so long I taught you would be in class by now” he asked “I went to the principal office” I answered “what in the world were you doing in the principal office” he said he expression demanding answers “Don’t give me that look I helped some transfer student get to the principal office” I replied innocently he looked at me for a while searching my eyes to see if I was telling the truth which later got interrupted by the English teacher walking in with the two student who I just helped to the principal office few minutes ago. Peter noticed my puzzled look asked if they the one I took to the principal office, I nodded “just give them a chance you have never had a female friend look I will always be here no matter what happens but you still need a female friend to talk stuff with and also be around to talk to always especially when I am at the game or training that way I won’t have to force to come with me always please do this for me Tessa I want the best for you always” he said with pleading eyes. “okay fine” I replied knowing he was right after all. As we turned to concentrate on todays class they magically appeared beside me which me nearly jump out of my seat. “so we can be friends now” Emily asked “okay” was all I said as we concentrate on the class.
