Chapter 5

" Julia , are you OK?" I opened my eyes a tiny bit. I saw mary looking at me with worried eyes. I opened my eyes all the and saw everyone staring at me. I sat up.
   " Julia maybe you should lie down you look really pale." said Mary.
   " I 'm fine Mary. What happened ?" I asked.
   " Well we got in a crash . Al saw the car coming and tried to swerve out of the way &  you were flung , I guess you could say, out of your seat & you banged your head on this bar right here." she explained pointing at a big yellow steel bar.
     " Ouch, is Al okay?" I asked.
     " Al's okay, he's got a couple of scratches but that's it . He's talking to the driver that hit us." she said . Just then the driver came out of the car . I tried to get a  good look at him but my eyes were still swimming from hitting my head. The man looked like a Chauffeur . He helped a teenager looking girl out of the car, she seemed pretty shaken up because she was crying. Al comforted her a little bit then came inside the bus.
     " Ok everyone, I 'm going to have to ask you to leave the bus in a orderly fashion and quietly wait outside for further instructions. Julia can you follow me , just wanna make sure you're OK." said the bus driver. " I'm fine Al,  feel a bit woozy but other than that I feel great!"  I said.  " Well I'm glad to hear it but the doctors just want to give you a check up." he said. When we got to the doctors ,  they were checking on the girl that was crying, now she was yelling.
     " I could have been  killed ! That was so scary! You stupid drivers!" the girl screamed at the man who was probably driving the car ( that the girl was riding in) and at Al.
    "  I am so sorry Emily! " said Al .
    "  You !" she said turning on Al, " Your stupid driving almost got me killed , you should be fired from your job! And you to Jefferey!" she said turning to the Chauffeur looking guy. " I personally will make sure you are fired . I will talk to my dad, he always listens to me.! HOW DARE YOU DRIVE ME INTO A BUS!!!!" She yelled abnormally loud in Jefferey's face. Then she saw me.
    " Who are you?"
   " My name is Julia Parker. "
  " Oh.... My name is Emily Grant . I haven't seen you before, you must be one of the new kids. And these are my friends Gigi  and  Kendra. " said Emily waving her hand behind her at 2 pretty girls one was African American with neck length black hair. The other one was American with brown hair and slight curls. She had a nose piercing on her right nostril and her ears were pierced.
   " You will still have to learn the rules of course . Rule # 1 : don't 'apply' for the job of being the  cool girl. That job is taken. Rule # 2 : don't try to be mean to me, but why would you, I'm perfect , But still my Dad practically owns the city of Houston because he is so rich . So that means he has a lot of power which  means he can sue you. Understand ?  If you follow these rules you'll have a better time at Washington high School." Said Mary. She was about to say more, when Al started talking.
      " Everyone ,  I have  an announcement, can I have everyone's attention please ? Excellent.  I called the high School . They now know that all of you will not be able to come today. Tomorrow which is Saturday you guys will file in to the school cafeteria at 10:00 am and the teachers will give the new students a tour around the school and then you will meet back with the returner students to learn about the classes you will be taking this year. Understand? " he asked, everyone nodded. people started to call their parents to come pick them up but Mary and I decided  that we would probably be able to just walk home. We talked about Emily and that we should just try to stay away from her. Soon we were home. Mom made sandwiches for the little kids that don't go to school yet. We told them what happened and that we had to be there on Saturday.  The kids thought that us surviving the crash was cool but Mom was worried but glad we were OK. She gave us some sandwiches and we sat down to eat.
