Cheese 'n' Crackers

Chapter 1

Okay this is my first story and i'm super excited! :)

I really hope you like it, and the beginning may be a little slow but please give it a shot. I want to thank Andrea for helping me with names and also the rest of my friends who inspired me to start writing....and the long testing period where I started writing this :P

Chapter 1:

I don't know how I let my friends convince me to dress like this to school. My mom nearly choked on her coffee when she saw me this morning. I wasn't dressed slutty or anything. It was just different. I'm use to wearing a t-shirt and jeans everyday. Today though, Feril and Claire made me wear blue jeggings with a white loose button down long-sleeve shirt and white flowery Toms.

They even convinced me to wear my long dark brown/black hair down in soft waves. I usually kept my hair in a bun or pony tail since it was always frizzy, but having it down actually felt nice. My makeup was simple and natural looking. I always wore makeup so that was normal. I felt pretty, but i knew that I would look normal next the other girls at school. There are a lot of pretty girls in my school.

Staring out the window, I could see my school in sight. My stomach got all queasy from thinking about my appearence, but i was a liitle excited too. All my friends had given me attitude advice earlier, and it just ended up in it being an attitude off to see who could have the biggest attitude. I obviously didn't win. I've been the "innocent" friend in my group for forever, and i want to change that. I'm not shy, but I like to keep my distance. It's hard for me to talk to new people, especially boys, but I want to change that. 

As my mom dropped me off in the front, I saw my friends outside in a blob glaring at our car. They didn't think I'd actually come dressed nicely and threatened to send me back if i wore a t-shirt. I was suppose to wear this outfit yesterday, the first day back from thanksgiving break, but i chickened out and wore my usual. I said bye to my mom and slowly opened the car door, since I knew they couldn't see me through the black tinted window.

I wanted to make sure to torture them by moving really slow. Once I opened the door just enough for me to squeeze out, I slowly threw my legs out one by one, dramatically popping each one out with a kick. I could hear Lila and Jade moaning in annoyance as I slowly got out. I smiled to myself knowing that my plan worked. As I stood up straight and looked at each of my seven friends' faces, my grin grew to reach my eyes. Claire, Danny, and Feril were smiling smugly, Lila and Jade were making whooping noises, Cate clapped for me, and Zach was nodding in approval. I made a little turn to show my back too and even did a little curtsy at the end.

"See, I dressed up," I said smuggly looking at them.

"Yeah, it's about time," Cate remarked smiling.

"You look so good," Feril confirmed.

"You look smoking chica," Lila added.

"Thanks you guys," I smiled at them. I awkwardly moved forward for a group hug.

Our group isn't really touchy with each other. Sure we'll touch each other, but we're not a hug type of group. We're more of a funny group.

Lila and Jade are a little more out there than the rest of us; they bring another side of us out. They're not embarrassed to talk about sexual things and talk about it in a funny way. They both have black hair at around their shoulder blades, are into 80's rock music, and are pretty blunt. Lila's a little on the short side standing at 4'11, while Jade stands at an average 5'6.

Claire's more innocent than me, but she's a social butterfly. She's 5'7, only an inch shorter than me, has medium chestnut hair, curvy body, and always happy. She's the girliest of us all.
