When I Met You

Chapter One

    We all got problems right? Well, yeah of course. You're not human if you don't, just saying. Well, my name is Renee'. I'm moving to Arkansas. I'm living in California for the time. Yeah, Cali, nice place, right? I can't really lie about this, but I'm pretty scared of moving to Arkansas. I heard that Arkansas is just a small little state that has a bunch of hillbillies and rednecks living in shacks. Who would want to live there? I mean really!

    I'm heading into the most adored school ever! Well, I guess I'm the only one that can vouch for that. See, I'm not moving to Arkansas, until the middle of the school year, which makes it even harder and difficult for me to adjust to the new atmosphere. Gosh! Why does life have to be so hard and complicating? My teachers here are like the best teachers ever! You'll never find teachers like that in Arkansas, I'm sure.

     My friends here are great too. We're all pretty and rich. People call us stuck up brats. I can't really say why. Wait, hold on. I know why. Because they just hate on us and everything that we have. Me and my group of friends are known as the popular girls in school. You know the ones that date the head football captain, the ones that carry the Coach bag on their arms, and put makeup on in the bathroom between every class, so when we do enter the class we know we look good? Yep, that's us. Sorry, to bust your little bubble if you don't like those kind of girls. I can't really say much, because that's just who we are. There's no way of changing us.

"So, we're going to get our nails done this afternoon?" my friend Siarrah asked.

"Yeah," me and my friend answered. We were standing in the middle of the hallway, chatting about our upcoming afternoon. We did pretty much everything together. It's something we couldn't help, but I'm sure we could do things separately, but I believe that would be a struggle. Getting in trouble was something that we were talented at doing together. We had so much fun together and it didn't matter what we did. All that mattered was that we were having fun and that we're together. That's all, nothing else. "Move out of the hallways! No congregating! You know better, and you will get written up for it!" Mr. Bryer, our assistant principal yelled. Everybody started to scurry on to class, but as for us, we stayed right where were. I wouldn't say that we push the limits or the administrators buttons, but we just believe that we have the right to do whatever we like.

I guess we thought that moving slowly to class would get Mr. Bryer off and out of our business, but I was wrong. We were on our way to our first class of the day and we couldn't believe it at first, that we had the first class together! As we were moving, Mr. Bryer had to say something to make me mad. I don't know if it's my head that messes with me, but I think that I have anger issues for sure. I mean that's probably the reason why I get in trouble so much, just saying. "Ladies, you need to walk a little faster if you don't want to be late." I stopped right where I was, I turned around and with a surprised look on my face. I noticed that my followers were still with me, " Mr. Bryer, I know you're the assistant principal here and stuff and you have to take care of the student body here, because that's like your job. So, let me make your job just a little bit easier for you. See my girls here? See me? Well, we can take care of ourselves, so that means that you don't have to worry about us. And don't worry, you'll still get paid," I said in a smart aleck tone.

He walked closer to me, " Oh' Ms. Taylor, are you going to start off the year like this?" he asked.

"Well, really, it doesn't matter to me anyways, whether it does or doesn't."

" Well, then come with me. Who's your first period?" he asked, starting to walk with me and my crew. "Mrs.Kedling," I answered, rolling my eyes.
