Spencer closed the classroom door behind her with that big grin still on her face. She took her seat in the middle of the classroom. The teacher was out running an errand so the class was more like a zoo at the moment. Some people were shouting across the room to each other, some were quietly talking in their own little circle, two guys were wrestling, and some girls were loudly cheering them on. Spencer just sat quietly at her desk with that smile still on her face.

"What’s got you all giddy like a school girl."

Spencer turned around to see an African American girl smiling back at her. She wore a simple white Tee with fitted jeans and flip flops. Her hair was going in every direction, but it seemed as if she did her hair like that. She also had a tattoo that ran up her arm. She clearly didn’t care what she looked like and wasn’t trying to impress anyone. Spencer seemed to like that about the girl. The girl just seemed down to Earth and Spencer enjoyed that in a person.

Spencer: "Oh nothing."

"I find that hard to believe. You won’t stop smiling. I’m Chelsea Lewis by the way."

Spencer turned in her seat and smiled at Chelsea.

Spencer: "Spencer Carlin."

Chelsea: "Ha ha yeah I know, you only told us all your name on the first day of school."

Spencer: "Oh yeah I forgot."

Chelsea: "Typical blonde."

Spencer: "Shut up! Gosh I didn’t know L.A. was so nice."

Chelsea: "Ha ha yup that’s L.A. for ya. So how do you like it so far?"

Spencer: "It’s cool I guess. It’s nothing like Ohio though."

Chelsea: "Oh yeah because we are so much nicer down here right."

Spencer: "Exactly."

They began to chuckle. Spencer was still giggling until she noticed Chelsea had stopped and was rolling her eyes. Spencer looked up to see a smiling Latina staring down at her. Spencer smiled back puzzled.

Madison: "Spencer you’re new here and let me speed you up a bit. If you want to be popular you don’t associate with people at the bottom of the chain."

Madison glanced at Chelsea. Spencer just stared back shocked that the girl was such a bitch.
