**Lonnie Hélène**

I was simply enthralled by all the hustle and bustle in the hallway, as I stood, fingers clasped together as I brought them up near my chin and grinned. I could honestly feel the exciting reverberation that was around me. It was so contagious. But of course, not everyone was talking, most if not all of us were new, so it made sense that most people didn't want to talk to someone they didn't know. Not yet anyways. Honestly though, I hoped no one would question me on my gender. As if I hadn't already been down that road numerous times already though. _You look just like your mother_, they say. I sighed and brought my hands down and grasped them together behind my back, watching intently as students were being called into the office and leaving relatively quickly. 

One in particular came out and accidentally collided with another girl, prissy looking. I rolled my eyes and chuckled softly to myself, watching as the girl scorned him. Another kid was called into the office, but I didn't pay attention, my focus was stationed on the boy who had caused the girl to spill some kind of drink on herself. Poor thing, he looked so flustered as he watched the girl who called herself Sissy storm off. I teetered myself over to the boy in a jolly fashion, and followed his gaze to where the girl just left, taking a moment to run my hand along my long ponytail. I looked at him from the corner of my eyes and giggled. **"Cheer up laddie, I'm sure she knows you didn't mean to do it. Though, she looks like the type who can hold a mighty grudge"**, I said in a playful tone, taking a brief moment to pat his back before resuming my original position with my hands clasped behind my back. 

I swiveled and faced the boy. **"My apologies, the names Lonnie"**, I said, my bright feminine face glowing with the opportunity to form a new friendship. There was nothing like meeting new people.
