Life to the People Around Us

Chapter 1

First day of school. Great. It's bad enough that the people that used to be my best friends hate me now,but all their other friends will hate me too. I walk to school with Edith and few other friends from camp. Rachael,John,Victor,and Cristian. "Hey Rachael! I haven't seen you in,like,forever!"exclaims Edith. "I know! One month is just too much!"replies Rachael,as happy as a bee. "John! Victor! Cristian!"I say. "Hey Griffin! Long time no see!"says John. "Wassup Griffin!"says Cristian. "Hey Griffin!"says Victor.

Well here we are. School. "Who's ready for another year of bullying?"says Edith,sarcastically, under her breath. "I have a feeling this is going to be a great year,"says Victor. "School year 2015-2016 here we come!"I exclaim.

We all have the same class schedule,except our electives. I have band,Edith has culinary,Rachael has French,John has JROTC,Victor has drama,and Cristian has music appreciation. And our elective is our first period. We all go our separate ways and on my way to the band room,trouble comes.

"Well well well. Lookie what we have here,"says Andy. "If it isn't Mr. Ditch My Friends," says Elizabeth. "Hey Andy. Elizabeth,"I say. "Don't talk to me!" "Don't talk to her,Griffin! It's bad enough you broke her heart!" "Look guys,I don't want any trouble,let's avoid it,we could all go our separate ways and forget this encounter,"I say,nervously. "Wow. You go to camp and come back as a loser and a NERD!"says Elizabeth. "Yeah! What a loser! Griffin the loser!"says Andy. "Could you please leave me alone? I don't want to be late to band," I say. "Just this once. So you won't be late,"says Andy.

Wow. They turned out pretty rudely. I run towards the band room because I'm about to be late. I make it in time,but I remember I forgot my clarinet. Oh no! I'm getting in trouble the first day of school?!? I can't believe it!

"Okay class how many of you brought your instrument?"asks Mr. Lopez. Nobody raises their hand. "Great! We won't play today! We could get to know each other!"exclaims Mr. Lopez happily.

Edith's POV
First day of school. I can't wait for another year of bullies. I say this out loud,but I make sure to say it sarcastically so I won't worry Griffin. Yet I see his worried expression. But I hope it's not because of that rat Andy and his sidekick,Elizabeth. I just wish he could get over them. I got over Danny and her rat sister Beth. But that took me almost a year. I hope it doesn't take Griffin as long as it took me.

I turn to Griffin. "See you later Griffin." "Later Edith,"he replies as he runs his hand through his hair. As I walk toward the culinary kitchen I run into no trouble. I step in and I see I have this class with Andy and Elizabeth. "Look Andy. It's that Edith chick that made Griffin betray us!" "What are you doing here Edith?"asks Andy. "Hey! Well let's see...I have culinary first period and so do you!"I say in a cheesy happy chirp. "Are you using a sarcastic tone with me?"asks Elizabeth,clearly offended. "Oh no of course not silly! I'm just being friendly!" I reply. Elizabeth gives me a disgusted look. She goes back to her desk and she whispers "loser!" Yep. What a great year this will be...

Victor's POV
This is our first day of school,sophomore year. I can't wait to get bullied! The same thought runs through our heads,except Griffin. We don't want to worry him. "Who's ready for another year of bullies?"Edith says sarcastically. But I see worry in Griffin's blue eyes. "I think this will be a great year,"I chirp to lighten the mood. Griffin's expression lightens. Good. I don't want him to worry.

I walk to my drama class and I sadly run into trouble. "Hey Victor! What are you doing here? I thought this was drama,not loser club,"says Danny. What a rat she is. "Hey there Danny! Long time no see. How was your summer? Mine was great!"I say. I hate bullies. "Don't change the subject,you weasel! Scat loser!"exclaims Danny. Wow. She didn't change. I walk away to stay out of any more trouble. I put in my earphones and relax until the drama teacher walks in. School year 2015-2016,I think I'm ready to run.
