(.2.) •╔════◄░░░░░░►════╗• Science, Math, ELA, basically every subject has the WORST teachers teaching them. And I thought my old school was bad. They would blast music, like music from the 50s and 60s, and they would just shout or mutter everything. I couldn't even understand what to do in social studies because she was muttering. At lunch I saw Ash sitting with her friends. She somehow spotted me in the large crowd waiting to get lunch, so she called me over. I waited to get my lunch and I walked over to her, wondering what she would say to me. "Would she want me to be her best friend? Is she gonna help me find classes?" I thought. As I was walking over to Ash, someone came in front of me. I didn't know or recognize this kid. He looked like he was on the football team or something. "Who are you?" He asked. "Julia, who are you?" I replied "The kid who you cut in line. Do you know what happens to cutters?" He told me. "No, uhhh...I d-don't-" I said. Ash came over and told the kid to go away. "Get away, she did nothing to you. It was a clump of people on the line, she didn't know what to expect!" Ash told him. "Ooh! What are you gonna do to me? Bake me cookies for me to get away?" He mocked. "That's not gonna work, Ashlynn." Ash lifted her arm and made a fist. She swung her arm and tried to punch the boy, but instead she punched his tray. "You punched my tray." He yelled. "YOU'RE GONNA PAY ASH!!!" Ash grabbed my arm and ran to the janitor's closet. "Thanks," I whispered. "You didn't have to do that you know." "Of course I had to Julia!" She said "I could've handled it myself." "I don't think so, you looked like you were gonna faint," "I did?" "No, but I think you were shocked." "Who was that by the way?" Ash paused. What's so bad about this guy? Why did she defend ME? "Michael" Ash said, still shocked. "Don't try to mess with him, alright?" "Ok" At the end of the day, I walked home. Our new home was just a few blocks down the road from school. Ash was walking the same way as me. She didn't call for me or anything. She just walked all alone. As I walked up the steps to open the door, I see her crossing the street and going into her house, the same one as Shannon's, at least I think. We were neighbors all along? Did her mom tell her to become friends with me? I don't know, but that could be the reason why she just appeared into my life.
