The quest for friend-ship

Before it all

PROLOGUE

My parents are the most embarrassing. My mum is a chef at my school and my dad is a dinnerlady...... ok laugh, get it out of your system. As you can see even their jobs are a source of embarrassment to me. My mother has mousey brown hair and is very plump and dumpy, and my father has grey balding hair is VERY fat and quite tall. This isnt about them, it is about me.

My name is Andrea. I have a boyfriend called Kenny. Well, he is nearly my boyfriend, I'm in the process of wooing him.

My best friend is called Timothy. He is the best friend I could ever ask for. We can talk about guys together. He also is in love, with my cousin. this makes family get togethers awkward......

HERE IS MY STORY OF LOVE xxxx

It was the first day back after the summer holiday and we had just come back from the south of France and sadly love had not found me. There was some fit boys, though we couldn't work out as it would be a long distance relationship. And I don't speak French.......

Any way my heart lives with Kenny. I am in year ten this year and I think that I am ready for a serious relationship. However when I told my mum she just laughed and told me not to be silly.

Anyway, back at school the first lesson of the day was registration. I always haye registration but, today I had a nice surprise.

"Today", croaked Mr Martin "We have a new addition to our little group. He was kicked out of his old registration in the science lab for breeding frogs and hiding them in the-"

He didnt need to say any more, I knew who it was, it was my Kenny!

Oh heavens! My tights are laddered and the hot weather has made my mascara run....

I fumbled around in my pocket for my compact. It slipped out of my sweaty fingers and smashed on the freshly waxed floor. 

Embarrassed I hid my red face in my cool bag, leaving the shattered glass all over the floor.

I heard a scraping noise on the floor behind me. Startled I jumped back, fell off the chair and broke it! Could this day get any worse? It could..... The scraping was Kenny getting into the chair. He just stared and laughed. He didn't help me up but I realised that he would loose his "street cred" wouldnt he?

Anyway, I didnt have time to think about it, the pips went and I had to go to lesson. Great, English (that great was sarcastic). I have to sit next to bitchy Lindsay. Lindsay is MY kennys "girlfriend". He does not love her, im sure of it.

Mrs Smith is a grumpy old cow. She had awful coffee breath and really REALLY greasy hair. I knew this would not go down well....

I slumped my heavy bag down under the scratched table.

"Can you smell something?" Screeched Lindsay in a mocking way. The other girls in her gang pointed at me and one of them said,  

"It is coming from over there. But it cant be Andrea, she is always so nice and clean.. "

Ever since I wore the same shirt two days in a row they still keep that on me. Anyway I know Im better than those girls.

I ran upstairs and went to bed, no dinner or anything..... I was depressed.

Lindsay shoved me against my locker today and Kenny just stared, laughing and jeering. And this weirdo keeps hanging around me. I think he is new or something.

The weirdos name is Tyler. He is actually ok but I think he has issues......

Tyler's issues....

1. Every day he tries to smell my hair.... he says he likes the smell of shampoo...

2. He smacks Timothys bottom.... Dunno what that is all about...

3. He is like the shortest guy in the world. Seriously though, he has some type of dwarfism. I have nothing against dwarves but, I am getting teased for hanging around him.

Uh oh. 

Kenny has just walked past. Alright, act casual. :O... He didnt even look at me....

I am officially peed - off. Maybe he does not want to loose his cool....

I opened my scratched up locker. I hate lockers. God knows what was in there or who had it before me. The only hint that I have is that they liked gum. You see, in my locker you can barley see any metal for all the gum on the sides.

At last, Tim had arrived.
