Confidence Gained

“Who is his girlfriend?” Rachel asked, innocently. “Claudia Arnold.. the head cheerleader, pretty popular, and you guessed it.. rich, basically someone you don’t want to mess with.”

Rachel rolled her eyes. “Yeah that girl sounds really scary, You know, we had girls like that in Texas, they were just snobby girls who thought the world revolved around them. But nobody warned us about them, like they were a curse.” Rachel said in a slightly annoyed tone. Britney laughed. “Your so funny, I was just giving you a heads up, like letting you know what she was like.”

The two made it up the steps toard the class room. This time Rachel entered the class room first. She didn’t sheepishly follow Britney. It was aparent that she was feeling more comfortable with her enviornment. And she is begining to feel more confident about herself. She realized, that these kids may have more money, but thier really no diffrent.

Rachel chooses her seat in the class room. This time it’s more in the middle.
