"Yeah this one's better.. " I mumbled to myself. I took out my note book and started doodling whilst trying to think of words for a personal project. Every once in a while I kept looking over at the girl sitting next to me. She had pulled out a book to read and seemed to be extremely engaged in it.

She seemed nice based off of earlier so it might be nice to talk to her a bit.
I pulled down my head phones and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Hmm?" She turned twords me with a kind smiled and closed her book slightly.

"I was just wondering, what book are you reading... "

"Oh, this?" She put a bookmark in and showed me the cover. "It's Hattie Big Sky by Kirby Larson. It's set during World War 1 and it's about Hattie Brooks, a sixteen-year-old orphan who is tired of being shuttled between relatives she hardly knows, receives a letter from an uncle who has recently died. He leaves her all of his land, and Hattie travels to his farm in Montana to start life as a homesteader."

Her face lit up as she talked as if she was talking about something she had written herself.
"What does she do as a homesteader?"

Once again her face light up. "She gets to do all kinds of stuff! She put up fencing all by herself even though others didn't believe she could as a woman, fixed the house as winter was nearing, working and sleeping in the cold as she did. It's just so inspirational reading about her doing all this. "

"I bet" I couldn't help but smile a bit as she looked off in the distance while supposedly thinking about her story.

"So what were you doing" She asked looking twords me and jesturing twords my notebook and headphones, which were now sitting on top of said notebook.

"Oh, I was just doodling. " I moved my headphones and picked up the book folding half of it and pointed to a pen drawing of a bottle with a scroll inside.

"It looks so nice, are you an art student?" She ran a figure over the sketch taking in all the line work.

I shook my head. "No, I'm not. Art isn't really a class that sparks my attention. I am in a Photography class though."

"That's exciting! What kind of stuff have you done?"

I slowly pulled out a binder that had some of my photographs in it and handed it to her. Her eyes seemed to light up as I opened my bag to grab it. She seemed genuinely interested and it made me smile just a tad.

After that the two of us spent the rest of the hour talking about different topics from my photos to schedules.

"Well it's a bummer we don't have any other classes together. " Cherry said with a slight pout. I placed a had on her shoulder.

"That does kinda suck. Your nice.. " I mumbled putting my headphones back around my neck.

Her face flushed a bit at my comment. "Thats sweet, thank you. " She smiled and I slipped my notebook into my bag.

I hummed in response as the bell rang. "Welp, time to go I guess.." I stood up and slid my bag over my shoulder, as I was about to wave goodbye to her, she started to talk again.

"Would you mind if we walked together?" She picked up her bag, " The Social Studies Hall is on the way to the Math Hall right? "

I nodded. "Yeah, it is." I turned back twords the door and started walking again, until I realized she wasnt walking with me.

I turned twords her once more. "You coming or not?"

Her face lit up as she nodded and walked twords me. I jestured for her to walk out ahead of me, listening to her voice as she talked about random things walking down the hall.

Not me finally writing a chapter again :)
Hattie Big Sky is actually a really good book tho and I highly recommend that you guys read it. I read it a couple years ago so I'm sorry if the description is a bit wrong.

The cover for it is really nice too as you can see :p
Anywaysssss as I was writing this chapter I realized that the relationships that I had planned for this story might end up differently.
Oops.
So if y'all have any opinion on the ships that would be really nice. I do love seeing the few comments I get pop up in notifications so please share your opinions with meeeeee.
:3
Anyways this was a long authors note so I'mma stop now.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
