Amanda Z. Clark
I am the glamorous, popular girl at school that has everything you could ask for. but at home, its different. i just decided on moving in with my dad. my mom used to spoil me with everything, but then she got a boyfriend and he moved in. i didn’t want to go to my dad’s house. he was poor, lived in a house in the middle of the woods in freaking LA. is there even woods in LA? i can’t just go moving from New York to here! and worst of all, he had rules. but whatever, i would be fine. i finished packing my stuff in my white corvette. and got in. i started driving.
a lot of time later, i stopped at a hotel and checked in. i got into a room and slept for about 5 hours and woke up. i checked out the hotel and started driving again.
when i reached LA, i wanted to die of tiredness. i looked at the address on the piece of paper my mom gave me and drove there. it wasn’t in the woods, and it wasn’t small! it was even bigger than my house! i knocked on the door revealing a tall man with dark hair and wood brown eyes.
“dad?”
“Amanda?”
he started crying. i didn’t think he would be so happy to see me. i haven’t seen him since i was 3. i jumped into his arms and hugged him.
“come in! come in!” he said
i went in the house revealing a modern decorated place with shiny rock floors.
“pick your room!” he said excitedly
pick? wow okay. i kinda think my mom is lying now. i went upstairs and saw a huge room with a couple stairs going down with a king bed and a mini fridge. the room was tiffany blue and white with a bathroom. i dont like this. i went to the room next to it. a black room with graffiti style words spelling my name. had my dad done this for me? and no i don’t like this room. there was about 20 different rooms in this house. i skipped a lot of them though. like a very pink room, a car themed room, and beach themed room. finally, i went to a room with white walls and gold decorations that had a huge window with my own backyard on the roof. it had a huge bathroom, and a flat screen TV and huge speakers. this is my room.
“DAAAAADDD!” I called
“i picked my room!!”
after a few seconds, i saw my dad coming upstairs with a box in his hand.
“i thought you’d want this room. well, i better get all the other rooms i made back to normal again!” he smiled
he gave me the box and left. i opened the wrapping and saw the box for a new IPhone 6 plus in silver. Yes! a new upgrade. i went and moved everything i had into my room. after i was done with everything, i plopped down on my bed and remembered that i have to go to school tomorrow. ew. before i could think of anything else, i fell asleep.
i woke up and stretched a little. school popped in my mind. i looked at the time, 5:30 in the morning. good. i went and picked some clothes. since it was spring, i chose some hollister faded bleached shorts with a normal white tank top with white hightop converse. i turned on the shower and turned on my straightener. i got into the shower, washed my hair, used some coconut body wash and came out. i dried myself with a towel and put some coconut body spray on. i went and put on my clothes, straightened my hair, put some light makeup on, and got my northface backpack. i headed out the door and into my car. i put starbucks into my GPS and drove there. i got a coffee frap and looked at the time. 7:15. i threw my cup away and drove to the high school.i parked my car and went to the front office. i asked for my schedule, gave my name and the bell rang signaling for me to go to class. period 1, science. i absolutely hate science. i found my class and told the teacher that i’m new. she made me go in front of the whole class and say what three of my favorite things are and i totally embarrassed myself.
“okay Amanda can you go sit by Matt over there?” she pointed to a tan boy with quiffed hair.
i walked to the desk at sat there. for the rest of the class period i was just thinking about stuff. like, is anyone gonna like me? or am i gonna be that one annoying girl? the thoughts flooded my mind until the bell rang. i got up and went out the door. as i was walking, i got stopped by Matt.
“hey i’m Matt Espinosa, you should pay attention to class more… cause you forgot your homework” he said handing my homework to me
“thanks, um i’m Amanda Clark”
“do you want me to walk you to class?” he offered
“sure, i have Math room 132”
“i have the same class! ok lets go”
Me and Matt walked to math together and just stared at the ground. we didn’t really have anything to say to each other. when we got there, the teacher made me go in front of the class and introduce myself again.
“Hi i’m Amanda Clark and i just moved here from New York”
“what do you look forward doing here?” the teacher asked
“sleeping” i blurted out embarrassed
“ok then.. go sit by Matt over there” she pointed
i’m sitting by Matt again? well not that it’ s a bad thing, because he’s the closest thing i have to a friend. i went and sat down by him.
the day went by fast. when school was over, i walked to the parking lot. Crap! i forgot where i parked. then, i looked and saw my car i got out my keys and i pressed unlock. when i tried to pull the handle, it was still locked. huh.
after a few other tries, i gave up and pressed that panic button. then i heard my car at the other side of the parking lot. i walked to my car finding a guy with brown hair by my car.
“can i help you?” he said
“oh this is my car”
“nope it’s mine” he laughed
“wait a minute, your car is at the other side of the parking lot. i think we have the same car.” i explained
“ok cutie, give me your number and we could chat sometime”
i smiled and put my number in his phone
“bye cutie” he said
“wait! i didn’t catch your name! and by the way i’m Amanda Clark” i shouted
“Taylor Caniff” he said and left
