HIGH SCHOOL DAZE

Chapter One

THE CURRENT PLAYERS

Butterfly - Myself, just to keep me on the safe side, this is what we are going to call myself. I have always been partial to butterflies, so I figured the name would be an appropriate fit. I am currently 14 years old and I am a freshman at MENTAL high school. MENTAL is not really the name of the school, just what I am going to call it. 

Brat - That is what we are going to call my little sister. I have been calling her that for years anyways, so it seem appropriate. She is 9 and the downfall of my life. She thinks that the world revolves around making my life a living hell and my parents think that being a big sister means I am required to put up with it without throwing a tantrum over it. I am not very good at doing my job. 

High Heel - My mother. Big Shot Lawyer, doesn’t spend much time at home. Thinks that spending six minutes a night scarfing down food at the dinner table is enough time to spend with her kids. I think she is having an affair with our neighbor DOPEY. 

Pops - My father. By far the greatest man that I have ever known. He stepped up and became a stay at home father when my mother decided that she wanted to follow her career. At one time he wanted to be a teacher, now he is working on publishing a book. We talk about everything, or at least we used to. Its getting to the point where I don’t know what I am allowed to tell him. I don’t think he loves High Heel but he sticks around for us kids. 

Dopey - Last year a man moved in next door to us from Australia. He is tall, blonde and very good looking. His accent is absolutely amazing and I always lose my train of thought when he is around, until he starts talking. He is by far the stupidest person I have ever met. He looks good and is always having a good time but he has the vocabulary of a six year old. I have seen my mom sneaking over there in the middle of the day, I think they are fucking each other. Whatever keeps her away from home I suppose.

Nut - My best friend in all the world. Nut and I have been best friends since we were in kindergarten and we are going to be best friends forever, at least that is what we have always told each other. I am not sure why we are friends really, he is the complete opposite of me, but somehow it works. He is loud, wild and crazy. Not crazy in the sense that he does dangerous things, more in the sense that he needs to be admitted and put on some form of medication to stop some of the things that come out of his mouth. I love him though, more then he will ever know. 

No No - A complete slut, and my other best friend. Nut and I met No No the first day of junior high and she just kind of stuck around with us. We are not sure what she sees in us really. We are loners and kind of weird where as she is popular and amazing looking and sleeps with more people then a 14 year old should ever have. She is obsessed with the way she looks and shopping. Once again, I am not sure how we are friends, but we are. 

Cruz - No No’s boyfriend. Likes to show up at my house without her. Flirts with me. I kind of like it. I have never been good with boys but he makes me feel special. I love Nut though, I think. Still, Cruz pays attention to me and its nice. 

Squeak - My home room teacher. He has this really squeaky voice that makes you want to laugh when he talks. He is all kinds of a mess, and really perverted. Rumor has it that the best way to pass his class is to flirt with him, or show him some skin. Girls are more known for passing his class then boys are. I guess that means that he is not as gay as he looks sometimes.

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 4TH, 2007

I aways got teased growing up for being that girl who was always early and always paid the most attention in class. I am not against raising my hand when I have a question, and more often then not, my grades are on the amazing side. In fact, I can not remember the last time I got anything lower than a B. So I lived with being that girl, or as people liked to call me then and still call me it sometimes today; Teacher’t Pet.
