Pretty Please With a Cherry On Top

Sherry

It'a 8:11 am August 21 2007. I'm standing in front of my bathroom mirror getting ready for the first day of freshman year. School starts in four minutes and i'm still doing my makeup and hair. My mom is yelling from the kitchen telling me to hurry up but it doesn't take two minutes to look this pretty, mom. Geez. Anyways, I hear the last unbearable note of her yelling. 

"Yes mom, i'm coming! give me one more second! Gosh!"

I roll my eyes as I finish of the last of my mascara. My hands slip under my silky black hair and flip it and give my reflection a final smile before I grab my school bag and walk off to my mom. She gives me a judgmental look up and down before sitting herself into the car to drive me to school. I missed the bus because I woke up late. I sit in the backseat with my earbud connected to my ipod touch, pink of course, and skip until I get to the song 'Sk8r Boy' bye Avrill Lavine. 

My mom angrily drops me off at school. I'm late by, only 10 minutes, it's not even that bad. what's my first period...ah fuck, its ELA. I excel in everything but English is my least favorite thing to excel in. Math is my favorite class ever! Fourth period, accelerated math. Except, all of them are fucking nerds. And they're all ugly. Well, except one. George Jeong. He's a tall, black haired, scene, and an Asian kid. But also, ew because no way could I, Sherry Alarie, one of the most popular girls in the entire High school, most likely going to be valedictorian, think the weird, emo, scene kid is cute?! Gross. Ew. No. 

I sigh and walk into the office grabbing a late pass. I walk into ELA...Thank god! I think as I see my best friend Celina Russo. Her beautiful brown hair tied back in a low bun, her tan skin radiating. Ugh I can not tell you the last time I have seen her. I take a deep breath in as I hand the late pass to the teacher and she tells me to go sit next to Celina! I smile as I comfortably  sit next to her. She looks over at me and smiles.

"Celina! I've missed you so much!!" 

She squeals as she hugs me, I chuckle and hug her back...That moment ends as the teacher coughs and gives us a glare as a warning sign. I sigh annoyed as I let go of Celina and Celina lets go of me. Soon The classes pass by, just a normal day of doing boring grammar. Don't get me wrong i'm not bad I just hate it and its boring. As soon as me and Celina get out of the class we talk about our next classes.

"So Sherry what class you got next?" Celina asks as she tilts her head and looks at me. 

"Oh I think I have History," I say looking at my schedule, "what about you?"

Celina looks down at her schedule and then back at me with a smile, "I got history too! Pure luck, huh?" She giggles.

I smile as we began to walk to history class together.  I stop in the doorway as I stare mesmerized. Omg he looks so good today...He looks taller then last year..Wow. I think as I stare at none other then George Jeong. I snap back into reality as Celina pokes my side and stares at me suspiciously, Shoot did she catch me?
