Just a Small Town Girl

Just a Small Town Girl - Chapter 1 - School Days.

Julie's POV:

Summer flew by so fast. I spent most of it with Emma, but another major part of it with my other friends. We spent almost every day at the beach, getting tans, and in my case sunburn. Running in the sand, splashing in the cool water, and hanging out, aswell as taking pictures. It sucked to have to go back to school after all that, but I still had to. The last days of summer I spent with Emma sitting on the grass of my lawn, looking at magazines, and talking about pretty much everything. That's why I loved Emma, she was always there for me when I needed her, she was the best friend I could ask for. The last subject we covered was school.. what we bot dreaded but in a way, I was kind of excited.. after all I would be in Grade 9.

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock beeping.

Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep.

I reached over and turned it off, opening and then rubbing my eyes.

'School today..' I muttered, getting out of bed. Great. I walked over to my closet and then into my shower. After that I got out, drying and brushing my hair. I looked at my appearance in the mirror. Even though I was 15 now, nothing had changed. I had the same medium length, redish-brown hair, but with a new haircut, of layers, and side bangs. But I still had the same green eyes framed by naturally long curled lashes, pale-ish peachy skin, small actually somewhat pretty nose and mouth, aswell as my freckles. I sighed and went over to my closet where I had my outfit carefully laid out. A pink tank with J' adore Paris, Cream/Brown Cardi, my Dover Saddelry Jean Riding Breeches, Brown Leather Messenger Bag, and my long awaited Chanel Flats in Black & Cream. I smiled and put it on, and then applied my makeup and perfume. I went downstairs to see a sticky note stuck to the island. Typical. Of course my parents weren't home, I don't even know what made me think differently. I read it,

Eric & Julie,

We got called for a conference in Cali. We'll be home by atleast Wednesday. Love you.,

Mom & Dad

I huffed and crumpled it up throwing it into the trash bin, as my older brother came into the kitchen.

'Eric, mom and dad left for a meeting, they'll be back Wednesday.'

'Whatever.' Eric replied and jumped up onto a stool. Like me, Eric had the exact same features but bright orange hair which I always teased him about. He grabbed a box of cereal and dumped about half the box into his bowl, then poured milk on it.

'Your disgusting.' I said and made a face. I got myself breakfast and then brushed my teeth. Emma would be here in 20 minutes. I grinned and then grabbed my messenger bag. I shoved random books, notebooks, pens, pencils, and everything else I had on my bedside table and then went downstairs throwing it by the door as the doorbell rang. Emma. I opened it and threw my arms around her.

'Long time no see, eh?' I said, and we both laughed.

'Definitely.'

Emma looked great, as always. With her dark brown hair pulled back into a stylish pony. She was wearing skinny jeans, converse, and a cute new top with smurfs on it, aswell as a blue hoody, which matched her eyes. We chatted a bit, then I checked the time on my cell.

'Time for school.' I said, she nodded.

We both grabbed our bags, and me my cream peacoat, and then headed out the door, before yelling back to Eric.

'See you at school, remember to lock the doors!' 

He grumbled something like 'Sure thing.' and turned back to shovelling cereal into his mouth.

Typical Boy.

Emma and I made our way to the school and found a group of our friends all in new clothes, laughing. We all greeted eachother after the long summer of being away from eachother. Then, I heard someone call something out.

'Hey, there's a new boy!'

I turned my head to see a cute boy, with black hair, tan skin, wearing a grey hoody, and lime green Nike's. He turned his head around, and caught me starring at him.. He smiled that beautiful smile and I saw how his brown eyes glimmered in the late August sun.. Wow. He walked over, and I soon learned his name was Blake. I was kind of wonderstruck and looked for Emma, who was talking to her boyfriend of 2 years, Alex. I could tell she was busy so I turned my attention back to the group, as my best guy friend Shane caught my glance.

'Julie!' he said.

'Hey Shane!' I smiled as he walked over.

We chatted on our way to get our schedules, and I saw that Emma and I were in a lot of the same classes, aswell as Blake.. I looked up to see him starring at me again, and butterflies came to my stomach. I blushed and smiled at him, little did I know, that would be happening alot now. I saw him making his way over to me, and I prepared myself for what would happen next, not knowing that it woukd change, everything.
