CHAPTER 2

"Hi, I'm Chee So Cool, but you can call me Chee- like everyone else does.", she said as she sat across me at lunch. She was suppose to have lunch with Nuh-Ahh, my so called friend. But since I usually have my lunch with her, we were sitting at the same table. I smiled back at Chee."Well, ok. And you can call me Ima." I told her. "Oh.. Um, what's your full name?", she asked. "Ima GoodDrawer", I replied. She nodded. Then we both ate silently (while Nuh went to get her lunch). Mostly because I was a shy girl and I wasn't really good at breaking the ice. Just then, Nuh came. "So... What's up? Hey, Chee, back at your school, who was your best freinds?", she asked. I stared at Chee slowly while munching on my egg sandwhich. So she has a best friend already?, I thought. I swolloed slowly. I suddenly had this lump in my throat. Chee looks cool and I felt like WE could be best friends. But after mumbling through her chewing mouth, Chee gulped and swolloed her lunch and mumbled... "Nope.". I almost choked hearing her. "What?", I asked. "Hey, it's a new year so I ain't got no friends yet.", she shrugged. My heart that was thumping just now had slowed down. Oh, so she doesn't have any best friends yet. I thought.

Back in class, Chee was handing out these rings with little shapes on them out to people in my class.
