I clicked open the e-mail from my best friend at home-well, it had been my home till a couple of months ago-hoping for a lunch full of juicy news served alongside tasty comments about how she missed me and was planning stuff for my next visit home. There was an e-mail from my grandmother reminding me to floss because British dentists only cleaned adult teeth.Īn invitation to join the Prince Harry fan club-I opened it and gave it a quick scan. One of the computers was available and I logged on, desperately hoping for an e-mail from Seattle. I skipped lunch-again-and headed to the library. It might as well have been the dark side of the moon. Okay, so there was one table with lots of room. The drama table was on the outer edge of the room, and so were the geeks, the nerds, and the punk wannabes-way out there like Neptune, but still planets. The normal kids were in the second circle, arranged by friends or clubs or activities. Their good looks and posh accents made up the sun around which all other tables orbited. The populars, whom I'd secretly nicknamed the Aristocats, commanded an entire table right in the center of the room. Most of the lunch tables were already packed, and the room was buzzing with chatter. I hung back at the doorway to the cafeteria of my new supercool British school, Wexburg Academy.
