Once at school, all students had to come to the auditorium. Izzy, Laura and Summer sat down next to each other in the middle of the large, high room. The roof is made of glass, you could see the clouds moving by. The chairs were set up in the direction of the stage on which the headmaster of the school would later give a short speech. On the right and left side of the room there was a large carpet on which the school coat of arms was embroidered. The coat of arms represented a bear with a book in one paw and a four-leaf clover in the other. Nobody at school really knew what it meant, so everyone, students and teachers, simply called the animal the Care Bear.
Little by little, other students arrived, including some from the girls' class. Sometimes there were very stormy greetings, as well as with Laura and Izzy, and sometimes there was no greeting at all. Probably for the reason that people just couldn't stand themselves.When all the students had finally found a place in the auditorium, the director of the school, Mr. Dunoff, came on stage. Suddenly the loud babbling in the hall was ceased. Mr. Dunoff exuded a strong authority, none of the students dared to speak anymore. Also Izzy and her friends, who had been talking the whole time, were suddenly silent. Then the director began to speak: "Welcome, dear students. I hope all of you have returned safe and sound from the holidays and can now start the new school year relaxed. But there are also some changes here at our school . We have got new teachers and speakers. "He pointed behind him. To his left were some teachers who Izzy had never seen before. She had asked herself before who all this could be. Now she knew. "Wow, the one on the right looks hot." Izzy looked at Laura in disbelief. She couldn't believe what she had just heard."Laura, what are you saying? That's a teacher, you can't find him hot! I find him rather off-putting. Just the idea that he's a teacher is terrible! Don't you dare to think he's cute!" . "Izzy's gaze caused Laura to stop talking and looked back at the stage on which the director had meanwhile continued.
"Well, I am very happy to announce that we can also welcome many new students this year." He waved a few boys and girls onto the stage. These lined up in a row, side by side. Izzy hit it like a blow. There he was again. The boy from the subway. No, that couldn't be true. Surely it was just a dream. Izzy pinched her arm, she screamed something, whereupon everyone around her looked at her and she blushed for the second time today. Of course, Laura now had to add her mustard: "Tell me, what are you doing there? I know by now that you are a really strange person, but that you hurt yourself, that's new."Again Izzy's death look. But this time Laura didn't let up." Now tell me what's going on? "Laura started poking Izzy in the arm with both of her index fingers. Izzy tried to fend off Laura and hit her hands a few times, but Laura just wouldn't let up. And one thing Izzy knew if Laura wanted something, she got it too. Summer who was sitting next to Laura looked at both of them reproachfully, because when it came to school meetings, Summer was always very attentive, which Izzy in particular did not understand. But that was the way it was and so Izzy decided to tell Laura what happened this morning in the subway was.
Little by little the new students were introduced by name and so Izzy found out that the boy from the morning was called Ben and he would go to their parallel class. A stone fell from her heart. Thank goodness he wouldn't go to her class. That would have been just too embarrassing. After three quarters of an hour of torture in the auditorium, everyone had to go to their classrooms.Everyone looked for a place and the class leader came into the room. It was the same one you had last year, Ms. Bennett. She was actually a very nice person, but the fact that she was a teacher made Izzy suspicious again.
After six, infinitely long hours and a break, the first day of school was finally over. Izzy was also at the end, because no one was spared. All teachers started immediately with the learning material. Izzy had the feeling as if she had gone to war and on the very first day she had to go to the front and there. Completely exhausted, she walked across the school yard with a longing look at the school gate. But then, came Logan. Logan stood between her and the way out. No, that couldn't be! "Damn Logan, what's the point? I want to go home! Let me through!" But he didn't think about it at all. He stood in front of Izzy and put his hands on his hips. "I don't even think about it.Although I have an idea: tolls. One kiss from you and I'll let you through. "" You idiot, I wouldn't kiss you even in your wildest dreams. Now, damn it, let me through. "Anger was spreading in Izzy. She looked Logan in the eyes with all the anger she was building up in herself. Apparently Logan could see that Izzy wasn’t kidding at the moment and ran out of her the way, whereupon Izzy ran off and Logan shouted afterwards again: "Asshole!" Of course, Izzy just missed the subway because of Logan and she sat down on the bench, snorting in anger, and waited.
