HELLO DAWN

THE NEW GIRL

Chapter 2

Dawn's POV

"Welcome Miss Greasley" he smiled warmly,Male principals are usually tall and husky, guess I was wrong about that. I returned his smile as he struggled to look up at me.I kept being marvelled at his short figure as I was the last time.

"I would really have loved to show you your new class, but as it is I have a very important meeting to attend, that's why.. "

The door creaked

"Just in time Miss Hudson" Wait,did I hear Hudson?.I turned my head swiftly to look at the bob haired fairy behind me

"Hi principal Wells"

"Hi Frances, Dawn.. this is Frances, your tour guide"

"You have a tour guide" I chuckled

" Every school does" Well my previous school didn't,I scrunched my nose and turned it into an awkward smile as he pushed his round owl looking glasses higher

★★★

Things were awkward,like really awkward for her

I have her on my investigation board,but there wasn't much about her that I know

First I did not know that Adam Hudson has another daughter and when I later knew, I wasn't too invested

She turned swiftly to look at me and that jolted me out of my thinking

"Is there something on my hair?"

"um no,not really" I almost stuttered

She smiled

"Can we resume the tour after classes?"

"Sure" I replied but she wasn't even looking at me,he face was down...on her wrist watch

"Are..are you Adam Hudson's daughter?"

"Yes"

"And Layla is your sister?"

"Half sister"

" Ohh" I nod my head intuitively,she's probably the child of a concubine and all

"Do you have your textbooks with you?"

"Uh-huh,No"

" Well I can share it with you,if you don't mind"

"Thanks"

I smiled,she's not at all bad in fact she is way prettier than Layla.Her dimple really complimented her down smile

I could immediately tell a difference between the two of them.One is shy,the other is outspoken

I kept asking about Layla all through til we got to class and her reply,was off.Maybe they aren't so close.It doesn't matter to me anyways.I still asked some random stuffs,until we were about to enter the class,then I saw her..with her friends and this guy.I remember seeing him at the Café and his looks were always,really suspicious

"Ohh,coffee shop girl" She giggled as she walked towards me with her friends shining their teeth at the background

"Hi Layla"

"Are you the transfer student" She asked again,with so much enthusiasm

"Um,Yes"

"Perfect" She pulled me away from Frances,the latter did not argue,she just went into the class and I felt kind of like "huh?"

I don't know what to think but did she just pull me away from her half sister?,but for what?..to upset Frances and she didn't even seem bothered about it.She even rolled her eyes and snorted then smiled widely the moment her gaze met mine

"You know,I really love rolling with pretty girls, especially blondy like you" she grinned

" Ohhkayyy...." I chuckled awkwardly

" My birthday is this Saturday,I am inviting you cuz you are pretty"

"I don't know if.." I paused,common Dawn,are you insane,just what I want

"Sure Layla,I'll be there" I changed my words quickly and cackled,she gave me a quick hug and hurried to join her friends,more reason why this girl will be my very good informat,I smirked

★★★

Throughout the entire class,I didn't talk to Frances,her mood wasn't so bright.It was surprising enough that Layla and Frances are in the same class.She still let me use her books though considering the fact that I sat right next to her

I carried my tray and went to sit right next to her,she didn't look up,just silent munching.And when she finally did

"Did the Layla's club reject you?"

"What?"

"That's what she does,screen pretty girls to see if they can be her friends" I scoffed

"I choose my own friends"

"Do you?,and you still let her drag you" I knew what she meant

"Frances I'm sorry,I didn't.."

"It's okay,do you still want the tour" Her smile slowing widening with excitement

"Yes I'd really love to"

And maybe if I were to make friends with someone,it wouldn't be a Hudson,but this is Frances Hudson

She took me around the large school and even promised we would go to the zoo together

"Trust me,Joe is actually the nicest person you'll ever see" I laughed after she just displayed one of his funniest ways of approaching customers

"Not when the old man's angry,he should really retire"

We both laughed

Frances is the complete opposite of Layla,I thought she was shy at first,but she just keeps to herself,reserved,and also extremely bright.I really do not expect that from a concubine's daughter.The tour felt more like a friendship date,we walked along the lawn and picked our Popsicle with excitement.

Once we were on a low swing,my eyes caught her staring at a girl at the other side.She was with her friends

"You like her?" I was almost surprised

"Uh-huh?"

"That girl over there,you like her"

"Not really" she blushed "How did you know"

"It's obvious,you've been starring" I smirked

"Really?" She sighed and smiled

"Since third grade,her name is Max"

"You ever told her"

"Why, no" her eyes widening "um,you think so?" She scratched her hair as the agro haired girl smiled with her friends

"Sure,you can tell her at the birthday party" she frowned

"What?"

"I won't be at the party" won't?, I thought the right word should be "can't come to the birthday party "

"ohh" I nodded,I did not expect her to be at Layla's party just because they are half sisters and they are not really close

"All I need is just one opportunity to talk to her" She fantasized But I don't even know if she's les"

"you have never seen her date a girl?"

"Not that I know of,her last relationship was with a boy"

We were still talking when the girl walked up to us

"omg,she's coming here" Frances covered her mouth with her hands and giggled
