Opening

First day

"Lina! Wake up! You don't wanna be late for your first day of school." Carmen tells me. I slowly walk down the stairs with my brown bag wearing my blue jeans, black tee, plaid shirt, and low top white vans. I put my bag on the breakfast bar and take a seat next to kalin. He gives me the what's up with his chin while he eats his cereal. I smile and take a granola bar. We walk out the door. I start walking towards the side walk when I hear," Hey! What are you doing?" I turn around and see kalin with a confused look on his face. "Walking to school." I respond. "I have a car." He says jiggling the keys in the air. I walk back towards the car and get in the passenger seat. He pulls off and takes off to school. "So, what's up with you? Why did u come to my house?" He asks. "My mother died and my dads a no good son of bitch." I say. "I can relate to the whole no good dad thing. My father is a dick. He left my mother to raise us on her own. It was difficult but she did it she's a conquer." He says. I smile and I'm starting to see we can relate. He's kind of sweet. He drives into this parking lot of a huge school that looks like a fucking castle. "This is our school?" I ask shocked with my jaw wide open. "Yea." he nods. "Its...its....like a dream come true." I say. He smiles and walks away. I catch up to him. We walk to the lockers together. We stop at his locker so he can grab some stuff before he can show me around. He grabs his books. When a blonde chic comes stands in front of him and grabs his shirt. She starts making out with him and shoving her tongue down his throat I literary want to gag. They stop and the blonde girl stares at me. "Who's dis bitch?" She asks. "I don't know some loser." he says walking away with the blonde girl. What the hell just happened? He just acted like he didn't know me. Am I that embarrassing? I continue looking for my locker. After walking up and down the hall the a man helps me look for it. "I'm guessing your new here? I'm Mr. Skyes." he says pointing to my locker and looking at me up and down. "I'm Lina." I say putting my books in my locker. "Well I'll walk you to class Lina." He says as I grab my books that I need and begin to stroll to class with him. "What is your job here?" I ask. "Well..Lina...I'm a guidance counselor. For the kids who need me or kids I'm mandatory to help." He tells me. "What class are we looking for?" He asks. "Social Studies with Mr...." I'm sayin as he cuts me off and says,"Wright. Here you go!" He looks at me because we have reached our destination. My right hand touches the door knob and turns it to the left to open the door. I walk in and everyone's throwing paper balls, talking, or on their iPhones. "Hey!" The guidance counselor starts yelling. " You guys are going to sit down and listen to your teacher. Or girls no prom(all the girls gasp and start saying,"No! You can't do that!" and no guys no end of the year basketball. You will not make finals.(All the guys say," Come on man!") They all sit down and look forward with pissed faces. As I walk towards the only seat left in the middle of the class I see Kalin behind the seat. Ugh. I was cool with him till I found out he is fake. He's such a jerk. What kind of person doesn't own up to knowing someone? So pathetic. I take a seat in front of the infuriating Kalin. I open my notebook to a fresh clean page and take out my blue pen. I start to jot down notes.
"Allied Powers were a combination of Great Britain, France, the Sovi---" my thought is interrupted my a note being thrown over my shoulder and landing on my notebook. I open it. "Sorry...😟" I read in my head. I shake my head with a pathetic smirk. I throw the note back at him. I continue to write my notes. When another note flies over my shoulder. I open it; it reads,"What's wrong?" I get annoyed and throw the paper back. The bell rings I slam my book closed and walk to my locker to get my English book. I get it and head to English.
*Skips to lunch*
I grab my tray and make my way on the line. I move slowly as everyone else moves slowly. The lady puts a cheese burger on my plate. I move to the next section. I feel someone whisper in my ear, "Hey." I turn around and realize it's that idiot Kalin. I give him a snotty look and turn back around. "I feel bad for what I did?" He whispers. "Yea you should. That was a really rude move." I whisper back. "You have to understand. I'm---" he gets cut off by me. "Save it. Your just an ordinary selfish jock. That only cares about him self. I have nothing else to say." I say looking at him with an disappointed look and turning back around leaving the lunch line. I look at all the groups formed and realize their is no seat for me. I see an empty table in the back. I guess this is wear the losers sit? I say as taking a seat and ready to eat my lunch. I start to eat my cheese burger and look around at everyone and their friends. Makes me miss mine back home. But my mom just had to die. I say rolling my eyes. I get up and throw out my tray because of my loss of appetite. I walk out of the cafeteria and straight to my locker. I grab my Math textbook and walk to math. I have my head down in my phone. I'm texting Diamond my old friend back home. I walk straight down the hall and I feel a bump on my shoulder. Causing me to stumble back and almost fall. "I'm sorry." I say looking down. "No it's my bad." I hear a familiar male voice say. I look up and of course Kalin. His mouth is open wanting to say something but I cut him off by shaking my head and walking away.
*Skip to schools over*
I'm walking out of my last class and see Kalin and his friends. I ignore them. I hear Kalin say,"Bye guys catch you later." He ends up walking side by side with me but distant. He pulls me to the side of the school wear no one can see us. "I have practice after school. You can stay but don't talk to me." He says. "This is getting ridiculous I have to stay! I'll work on my homework at the library." I say. "Okay, so let's leave one by one." He comments. "Yay! I'll leave first." I say sarcastically rolling my eyes with attitude. I walk away and to the library. I sit at a table alone and work on math and English.
*Skip after school*
I walk back to the car and Kalin walks back too. "Lina! Lina! Lina!" I hear him calling my name and getting louder by the second. I turn around and yell,
"What?!" He looks confused. "Why are you mad?" He asks. I turn around and roll my eyes. "Lina! Turn around now! Why the hell are you so mad?!" He yells. "Because I can't even talk to you during school now! You just being some self absorbed jock! Who doesn't care about anyone else but him self?" I yell at him. "Really I'm selfish. your selfish all you do is care about is if I'm talking to you because what you want publicity?" He yells back. "That's the problem with you jocks! You think everyone likes you because your popular." I yell at him. "No we don't! My reputation was on line." He says. "There you go selfish again. You don't learn do you." I say. "See I knew it wouldn't make sense to people like you." He says. "People like me....Huh...."the angry is boiling up inside me. "Well...Screw you!" I scream. I walk away. I being to to walk home. I see him pull up
On the curve next to me. "Come on Lina get in." He says driving slowly next to me as I walk." I wouldn't get in the car with you if my mother came back to life and for her to stay alive is to get in the car with you!" I say. "Lina. Come on. I made a mistake." He says. "No go with your friends not people like me." I say. I hear the sound of thunder. Then it starts to drizzle. "Come on its about to rain!" He says. "Okay but this one time." I say as I get in the passenger seat. He starts driving faster before the rain starts to get heavier. He pulls in the driver way and we run inside. We take off our wet layers. I'm smiling and he smiling. We look at each other's face. I stop smiling when I remember back to what he did. I roll my eyes and turn around and make my way up the stairs.
