Bella gulped when the teacher looked over at the class and quickly looked back down at her book. She froze and hoped that she wouldn't notice that she had been talking. Bella didn't want to get herself, or the other kid especially, in trouble. Thankfully Mrs. Meyer went back to her lecture.
She frowned at Josive's first comment, getting even more annoyed at her incapability to solve a simple problem. It was so difficult to catch up after she had fallen so far behind at her old school.
But then Josive glanced back at her, giving her a quick tip. *Hmm,* she mused, looking back at the problem. He was right. "Bella actually," she replied. "Sure, I can go with you. I've been hearing about those kids a lot. I want to know what happened. Meet me in the hall after class," she whispered hurriedly, nervous that the teacher would notice. She didn't seem to though, continuing on her lecture about linear equations.
