An Unexpected Love

Ch. 1

The Beginning

New year, new me. Or at least that is the plan. Hi, I'm Grace, and if you don't know me, I am 16 and go to school at Hudson High in Ohio near Cincinnati. My best friends are Catherine, Angela, and Elliot. I'm not the smartest kid, but I'm not the dumbest either. I this was my second year here and I am excited partcially because according to some of the teachers I "made such a good impression" last year.

Today was the first day of school and I just got my car the week before so I can drive it wherever now, with my mom's approval. At home it's just my mom, me and my two younger siblings. We love more on the outskirts of town which is actually more peaceful. Anyhow, I finally pick out my clothes and slip them on before running out to the driveway and began to take off down the road.

I get to school early so that I am able to talk to my friends before our first day of classes. I walk to the back of school and find Angela and Elliot, Catherine must be still home getting ready as usual.

"Hey guys. You ready for the first day of school?"

"Totally," Elliot said in a sarcastic tone.

"Hey don't talk like that I'm trying to lighten the mood." I smiled at him.

Angela turned to me, "What are your classes?"

I pulled out my schedule and read it to the two of them, "German 3, Art, Microeconomics, Precalculus for today then tomorrow is History, Study Hall, English, and Chemistry." (For those who don't know it is block scheduling which means that classes are every other day.)

"Dang I don't have any classes with you besides Study Hall." She gave me a pouty face. I gave her one back kinda bummed out.

"It's ok, it's not like we won't ever see each other."

"True."

"I have Art, History, and Study Hall with you," there was a voice behind me. We turned around and saw Catherine.

"Hey when did you get here?"

"Just now. But guess what I heard."

"What?" Elliot asked excitedly, he loves a good gossip.

"Cody and Kelsy just broke it off two weeks ago and I heard it was pretty bad."

"That sucks they were so cute together."

Cody wasn't bad looking tall dark hair, brown eyes, glasses, skinny but fit and a good fashion sense. I wonder what made them break up.

"Do you know why?" I asked eager to find out more.

"I don't know, but apparently he broke up with her."

We were all surprised. Cody seemed to nice for all that. The bell rang signaling it was time to head to our first class. We all said goodbye and headed our own way.

German was a bit of a drag we talked about our summer then went straight into work. I had art next which I was excited for. The class was different including someone that I did not recognize...
