Solid by Precious James (classic books for 12 year olds txt) 📕

I stepped from the shadows, leaning into the gleaming light. Something felt strange! I could feel it in my gut, but what? I shook the idea out of my head. Seems like a beautiful day to me! The sun was glistening in a beautiful way that made your eyes tingle. I breathed it all in.
First day of High school and I have to spend it in Florida miles away from my friends. Packing for a boarding school I don’t even want to go to. Yippy! Still I have to make the best with what I have. I softly brushed my hair from my face. I looked at the plain bricked building which I shall now call my school. It was so dull. Now I would be living here. I hate boarding school. I should be happy, but this is a really old school.
I walked back through the woods to the car to grab my bags. As I looked at my parents waiting patiently all I could ask was, why? Why would they send me here? I have only been the child who never gets in trouble no lower than a bee. This has all came at a surprise.
“Katherine,” my mom said
“That’s not my name!” I said looking at the ground. It hurt to look at her.
She blew in her breath. “Kitty, I know you might hate us for sending you here. Then you might ask the question why in your head over and over again.”
I looked at her in astonishment. “How did you…”
“Cause we know our daughter!” My father suddenly jumped in, tears flooding through his eyes. “There’s something we have to tell you. I don’t know how to say this. You know we love you so much and no matter what we love you.”
They seemed both nervous but relaxed. What could it be? Was ma in trouble? Did someone die? The questions made me agitated and jumpy. “What?” I wanted to scream.
“Well kitty… we are not your real parents! You were adopted.”
The words she said hit me like a bullet. It struck my heart in the place that matter. I felt dizzy and sick, anger that building up on me is just waiting to explode, all these emotions at once. I didn’t know how to take it. I just ran. Ran to the place where I will let no one hurt me.
“Kitty,” I heard my mom yell. “My dear kitty,” The rest was like a whisper but I heard it and at that tears started to flow.
I walked down the color stepped halls, while children scattered the place like flies. I quickly wiped the tears away. I didn’t want people to get the expression I’m crying because I miss my mommy and daddy. It seemed to me that I was lost but, I didn’t mind I wasn’t in a hurry. The principle instructed me to go to reading and my room after. The teacher was a tall skinny boned lady, with freckles and a smile painted on her face. She seemed reasonable. Not the worst I could get. Kids stared at me like I was crazy as I walked in the room. Yeah but when you think about it I am the new student. These people probably have been going here for years. Suddenly a perky little blond headed girl seemed to be calling my name weird thing is how does she know me?
“Hi I’m lily! You must be… Kitty
“How do you know my name?” I asked.
From I could see she looked fairly nice. The kind of person everyone likes. The kind of person I am. I couldn’t lie I would defiantly pick her as my best friend. I smiled!
“You want to sit next to me?” she said still with a smile. ‘’ but if you don’t want to…’’
‘’ Sure!” I said in the most cherry voice I could make at this time.
I sat next to an empty desk next to her. Better to sit next to her than all those dark devious eyes staring at me.
‘’I have a question. Why is the class staring at me like that? You still didn’t answer my question. How do you know my name ’’
‘’ First they do that to all the new kids. Trust me. 2nd I heard them say a new student who’s called kitty coming here and I volunteered to be your guide.’’ she said without hesitation like she practiced saying it.
“Ah,” I said “Now it all makes since!”
Then we busted out to giggles like we were best friends forever other than 5 min. ago.
‘’Who you rooming with?” she said.
‘’ I don’t know let me check. My parents toke my things to my room but, I haven’t seen it. Wow is there another lily here or I’m rooming with you that’s so strange.’’
‘’ I know.’’ she laughed “I kind of knew I was going to room with you. My roommate left.”
I looked at her with curiosity. “Personal reasons,”
Suddenly the bell rang. It was more like a screech of cars but, you get what you pay for. The lunch room was just a cluttered mess, kids everywhere. I saw lily waving for me. She was sitting at a table with a little red hair and a tall dark looking boy. I couldn’t see his face. His hair was styled so it was a Mohawk with an “m” on the side. It was … unique. I waked passed the assortment of chairs nearly tripping to get to lily’s table.
‘’Hey, what took you so long?’’ she asked
‘’Had a problem with finding the lunch room.’’ I snapped
‘’Oh yeah I was supposed to show you? Sorry! Guess I forgot, you’re here now.’’ she said ‘’ Almost forgot to introduce you. How rude? This is pixie.’’ pointing to the little red head. Whose eyes seemed to dance when she saw me?
‘’hey,” I said “I’m kitty.’’ I said
‘’ You must be that new student I heard about from lily. Hope you enjoy it here’’
‘’ Me too everyone seems so nice!’’ I said
‘’ Now that you met pixie this is mar, a person who always has his head in a book but behind it actually sort of cute. “
“Shut up! You know you want this” they laughed in unison. She looked down at him like he was god. Something about mark was intriguing.
‘’ Don’t have to be harsh can you at least get your head out of that book and introduce yourself so she can see your handsome face?’’
‘’ Ok. Hey.’’
He said only glancing a few seconds then returning to his book. He was quite cute, but he sure wasn’t my prince charming.
‘’ Sorry about him he… keeps to himself, been like that for a while.’’
‘’ Whatever like I care.’’ I said
‘’ Don’t you think he’s cute or anything?’’
‘’ No I’m not effect by them you can say.’’
Lunch was filled with laughter rest of the day was a bore what it to come next?
