"Rise and shine Shay!" I heard a voice say, but I couldn't make out who it was since I was buried under my three huge pillows and my blanket.
"Mhmmmmm" I turned over and sank more into my warm bed.Suddenly a very cold breeze covered my body as someone pulled my blanket off my bed. I opened my eyes and I saw my best friend, Jordan, holding my blanket with a triumphant smile plastered on her freckled face.
"C'mon Shaaaaaaay! It's the first day of our Senior Year!" Jordan says while she walks inside my closet."One more year and we're officially out of that hellhole! Let's at least not be late for our first day?"
I groaned"You, Jordan, are the devil with a french manicure, you know that right?" Jordan sticks her head out of my closet and grins at me before sticking her head back in and continuing to rummage through my clothes. I sigh and crawl out of my warm, cozy bed. I go to the bathroom and wash my face and brush my teeth. I look in the mirror and decide my hair is unfix-able, so I but it in a loose bun. Walking out of my bathroom and into my bedroom, I find light ripped skinny jeans and a grey sweater laying in my bed next to my new black high-top converse.
"What do you think?"I turn around and Jordan is smiling at me."I picked it out while you were in the bathroom. I can't believe your mom bought these clothes and you never wore them! Shame on you Shay Nicole Williams!"I rolled her eyes at her and started to get dressed.
Jordan has been my best friend since Freshman Year. We bonded over our mutual hate of a certain head cheerleader called Madison Linher. We've became inseparable, and a good thing too, because besides her I have no friends since Madison managed to alienate me. Jordan wants to be a fashion designer when she grows up, so she finds it very fun to choose my outfits. I honestly find her very pretty. She has very curly copper hair that falls halfway down her back and her face is covered in freckles. She was looking through my books, well more like judging my book taste, while I changed.
We walked over to my 2007 orange pick-up truck and we headed over to our first day of our last year of High School.
Thump! I get pushed into a locker by Thalia, one of Madison's cheer-minions. I fall and all my things scatter on the floor. People stepped on my folders, kicked my books but no one helped me.
"Assholes" I mumble to myself and as I pick up my last book, the warning bell rang.Shit. I had 2 minutes to get to my class halfway across the school. I start running but I know I'm going to make it, since I'm the fastest girl in my P.E class.
I reach the classroom about 5 seconds before the bell rang and sat down in my lab table. I pride myself in my chemistry skills, and being in regular chemistry and doing things I've done last year make my first period rather boring. I don't have a lab partner, by choice I might add, so I dropped my bag in the chair next to mine and waited for the teacher to announce today's assignment while doodling on my notebook.
"Class, we have a new student!" My teacher said.
"Hey, My name is Casey Richards" I don't look , but I hear girls whispering. I can only make out the words cute, hot, and smokin', but I decide not to look up anyways.Why swoon over a guy when I can be perfecting my drawing of batman?"I just moved here from Chicago and I, umm, play football and I'm exited to be on the team this year" I hear a couple woop's and wohoo's from the football players in the room.
"Great! Well, Casey, you can go and take a seat at that empty seat next to-"Oh no no please don't say-"Ah! Shay!"Great.
I hear footsteps and I'm planning out in my head how I'm going to tell my teacher I can't sit next to that guy, but something someone says breaks my train of thoughts.
"Careful Casey, it is contagious" Madison and her friend laugh and I'm really hoping Mrs.Hing tells us our assignment, because I'm about to punch Madison in the face.
Madison Linher, ugh where can I begin. Oh, I know! 7th grade. Madison and I were best friends, believe it or not. We were inseparable, but she had one tiny flaw; She wanted to be popular so bad she was willing to do anything. She started ditching school to hang out with guys, her grades were dropping, and she started stabbing her friends in the back. Madison fits right in with the popular crowd, with her slick straight blond hair that flows all the way down to her hips and bright blue eyes. During 8th grade she was totally consumed and I decided to tell her what's on my mind. We ended up having a fight, and I might've called her a social-climbing, attention-hogging whore...and a few more choice words. After that, she hated me. By our freshmen year she was the most popular girl in school and head of the cheer team,her life goal was to make my high school years as miserable as possible, and let me tell you, it's our senior year and she's been doing a very good job.
"Alright class! Today we're making chlorine out of sodium sulfuric acid and water, you may begin!"
I move my backpack without looking at Casey and I hear him seat down. I've done this experiment before, so I start working right away, completely ignoring the boy next to me.
"Wow, either you've done this before or you are really good at this." Casey tells me.
Yeah, unlike half of the people in this class, whose only skills are turning oxygen into carbon dioxide.
Casey chuckles.Did I just say that out loud?!?I just insulted half of my classmates in front of some stranger. I looked at him, blushing, and I realized what the girls were whispering about. Casey had kind of curly blond hair and dark blue eyes. Judging by his height sitting down, he must be about 6"3, towering over my 5"4 body and he was pretty muscular, no wonder he was a football player, and he was smiling at me. As in a genuine smile, not as in a eww-maybe-if-I-just-smile-it'll-go-away smile.
"Hey" He said" I'm Casey!"
