? WINGLESS AND BEAUTIFUL ?
?EPISODE 43?
I thought they didn’t look like a bunch of high school students at all.
Oh well, Chelsea and her gang deserved to know they
weren’t the most beautiful people in the universe.
At least, I hoped for the time being, the presence of the new kids would get them off my back. The whole school was in awe of our visitors.
Everybody seemed to want a piece of their attention. Denise did not have trouble finding volunteers for the activities she lined up.
As for me, I almost got what I was asking for since I
stepped into Leighton High. I was invisible.
This could probably be the best two weeks of my high school life. I barely saw Denise and Chaise.
I missed their constant
company. But in return, I got a little reprieve from the insults and pranks. I thought it was not so bad.
Unfortunately, having more time by myself made me constantly think of Hunter too.
I couldn’t deny the fact that I was always looking for him. I didn’t see him in the school grounds or even in the cafeteria.
It seemed we were the only two
people in school who didn’t care much about our new
visitors.
One day, as I was eating lunch by myself in our usual
corner, I got to observe the exchange students, sitting in the tables in the middle of the cafeteria.
There were five boys
and five girls, all looking rich, confident and privileged. No wonder even Chelsea and Don looked like groupies hanging
around them.
There was one girl that caught my attention. She was
tall, with supermodel looks.
Perfect curly blond hair and
chocolate brown eyes. She looked like a snob, but with
every right to be.
She had a pair of designer glasses perched up her head, and she was slinging a Gucci bag on her arm.
She barely smiled, unlike the rest of her group who all looked enthusiastic about the amount of attention they were getting.
She was looking around, observing or scrutinizing every corner of the cafeteria.
I was fascinated with the bored expression on her face.
It was obvious she didn’t want to be here.
But something in the way she was eagerly looking around told me that she was very curious about Leighton High.
Suddenly, she looked over in my direction and her
haughty, oblivious expression changed to something that
looked like shock or awe.
