"The Boy Next Door" Chapter 2 Part 1

I woke up the next morning to find that I had to get ready for school. Harrington High School was fairly large. I sat looking out the passenger side window that morning. "I will pick you up at 4. Call me if you need anything," he said this as he handed me my notebooks and other school supplies from the backseat. I took them and got out of the car. "Bye Dad." I shut the car door and walked toward my new school.

My first two classes were okay. The teachers made me stand up and say something about myself in front of everyone. I entered my third period class and sat down in an unoccupied desk near the back of the classroom. As I waited for class to start, a girl sat down in the desk beside mine. "Hi," she said trying to get my attention. I looked to the seat beside and saw the girl. She was dressed in a plain red t-shirt and ripped blue jeans. "My name is Kristen." She stuck out her hand for me shake it. "Hi. I'm Julie," I said as we shook hands. "Oh, so you're the new girl. I heard about you from someone last period. So, how do you like it here?" She seemed fairly nice. "It's okay. I'm living with my dad and I live next door to a guy named Eddie." Her face turned from happy to concerned.
