Melissa goes to English, and opens up to someone new
Melissa stormed to her second hour class. She was angry more at the principal than Mr. Lonile because the principal hadn't seen what Jacob needed. "HEY! Melissa! Wait!" someone shouted. Melissa rolled her eyes and turned around. The new kid caught up with her. "hi, i'm Scott" he said, holding out his hand. "I know" she said turning around and denying his introduction. "what class are you going to?" Scott asked her. "english" she said through gritted teeth. Scott wasn't getting the point to leave her alone, and it was making her much angrier than she had been. "cool, me too, want to show me where it is, i'm kind of lost" he asked. Melissa turned around and was about to tell him off when she saw his sympothetic eyes. "look I know you probably think i'm just another goon who wants to get with you but I really need help and if you dont mind me saying I think your pretty awesome, appearences are nothing if a girl doesnt have a heart" he explained. "okay" she said and lead the way to the english room, she suddenly felt better. "so where did you come from?" Melissa asked. "California, my mom said it was too big there so we left, my little sisters in first grade down at the elementry school" he said. "what made you come to South Dakota?" she asked. "my mom loves small area's where you can make a lot of friends, becides, she wants Annie to feel comfortable and Cali just wasn't the place for it." he explained. They got to the english room and sat down. "We dont do much in here mainly because the teacher can barely ever get the class to pay attention" Melissa explained. "hey Melissa, this sounds kind of weird but I figure your good at school, would you mind helping me catch up, we havent learned half of this yet" Scott asked. "um sure, when and where?" Melissa asked. "how about my house at like 5:00 tonight night or something?" he asked, hopefull. "sure, I dont have anything until 7:00" she said. "what's at 7:00?" he asked. "my brothers funeral" she stated sadly. "oh i'm sorry, look if you want to wait until like next week i'll wait" he said. "no it's fine i need to take my mind off of it for a little while tonight" she said. "what happened?" he asked quietly. "My dad and him went to some car dealership to get him a car and on the way home they were turning at a green arrow and someone went through a red light and smashed into the side my brother was on, he was dead instantly" she explained, trying not to cry. "what was his name?" Scott asked. "Levi, Levi Michael Brant" she said. "I'm sorry, really I am Melissa" Scott explained. "Hey, this sounds really strange and everything but would you come with me to the funeral tonight, I need somebody, Jacob's going too but with me and Jacob its just going to be dead silent, I dont usually show emotions to anyone" she said. "um sure if you want me to" Scott said. Melissa gave him a small smile and soon after, the teacher came in and started the class
