I got into my new electric blue Camaro that I got as a present from Jaelin on my 16th birthday. Man, she was nice. Always buying me stuff with her money. The money she earns buy dropping out of high school, working at Taco Bell and American Eagle. The money she barely has to support her family when her dad is dead and her mom is just constantly drunk. She always struggled with money and she bought me almost anything. She wanted to go to college more than anything and she wanted what's best for everyone but herself. And I always felt so guilty.
The first day of school started pretty sucky. Stepping out of my car, I stepped into a puddle and got my new white Vans soaked and muddy.
"Gosh darn it!!" I yelled.
"Hey you ok,"A stranger asked while walking towards me. "I'm CJ." The guy said
" I'm Katie, and yea, I'm okay. Hey, have I seen you before?" Ok. I swear I've seen him before.
"You watch YouTube?"
"Of course I do! I have a life! And a channel! Have you heard of KatieXPlays?" Then I think I knew who he was, "OMG! Are you Cameron_James?!?"
"Yes I am. I guess we know each other. And yes, I've heard of you too." He smirked.
The bell suddenly rang for 1st period which for me is Science. "Do you have science 1st period?" I ask shyly. I don't want him to think I have a crush on him.
"Yes actually, we should hurry up." He smiled. Uh oh. I think he likes me. This is bad. I'm 16! I don't want a boyfriend. My mom allowed me to start dating when I was 14, but I just think boys are disgusting. I like guys as friends, but they fart and just play video games all day. And now that I think of it, so do I. I'm not a very "proper" girl if you ask me.
I sat down next to CJ, then realizing that "CJ" stood for Cameron James. Duh. Then guess who else walked into the room? Yup. Jake. He sat down in the seat next to mine. I guess the day didn't start out that bad. The teacher went on and on about how we are going to be using a lot of chemicals and I was excited. I like blowing stuff up. What? Don't judge me.
An hour passed and the bell rang. I ran out of the classroom and ran into a girl with three other girls, all wearing the same outfit.
"Oh my gosh I'm so sor-" I was cut off by the one in front of the three girls
"Watch it new girl! Do that again and I'll have my brother beat you-" she was also cut off too when Jake walked up to us.
"Hey, what's going on?"
"Nothing." I replied.
"Okay..."
Jake later told me that the girl that told me to watch out was Katrina.
"She sure was like Hurricane Katrina." I said then slightly laughed. Jake just looked at me with no expression at all. Apparently, the other three girls were triplets. Lilly, Lauren and Lacey. Lilly and Lauren both had bleach blond hair, (they probably literally bleached their hair) but Lacey had brunette hair and seemed a little shy as her sisters pulled her away from me. I'm not quite sure, but I think she mouthed the words, "I'm sorry" to me as she turned around.
