"Hey Duncan!"
Ugh.
"Hi Keith " I said with noticeable anguish
Keith Henderson-#1 most popular guy in the whole school. Captain or the football team. Keith is the kinda guy that, when he gets his eye on the prize, no matter how hard she tries to convey it, he does not get that she is NOT interested. In this instance, I am that prize.
"Hey babe," he swung his arm around me "Miss me over the summer?"
"2 things" I shrugged from his grasp "1. I'm not your babe, and 2. no, I did not miss you"
He seemed to be completely blind to how much I wanted him to leave.
"What home room you in babe?"
"Ummm, I've got... Mason"
"Me too!"
"That's amazing" I said sarcastically
"Yeah, now we have more time together"
"Oh joy"
We walked into the class room together and I ran to my age old friends.
"Eeeeeeeeh!" We squealed
This summer was the longest time we spent apart since we met.
"Taylor!"
"Bella!"
"Chlo!"
Arabella Thomas- #2 most popular girl in the whole school. I have known her since the 9th grade, and she's my 2nd best friend. She is the type of person that didn't open her mind up to new ideas or things. Also, she can't seem to accept that she is NOT my best friend.
Chloe Sinclaire-#3 most popular girl in the whole school.known her since the 8th grade, when I was second most popular. Oddly enough, she's always been 3rd. She's more open to new ideas and concepts in Arabella, and for that, I am thankful.
"Eeeeeh!"
"What did you do this summer?" Bella asked me
"Went to the beach, splish splash, and I stopped by some concerts"
"For?"
"Train, Maroon 5, Ed Sheeran"
"Ed Sheeran?!" Chlo asked
"Mhmm," I missed
"Eeeeeeeh!" we all said
"Will you three stop squealing?"we heard a masculine voice ask
"Hi Troy" Arabella batted her eyelashes, she made herself so obvious
"Hey," he addressed get with a wave of his hand "Hey Duncan"he nodded his head my way
Troy Chambers-#2 most popular guy in the whole school. Co-captain of the football team. Troy was one to make it clear if he was interested, and he was clearly interested in me.
"Hey Chambers,"
"So, new year, eh?"
I nodded "Yerp"
"New year means a new you"
I raised my eyebrows
"And...?"
"So you can do some new things...like...me"
I blushed hotly. I was simply embarrassed, I didn't like Troy. Just to clarify.
Before I could reply, Ms. Mason main called
"Alright class! Against the walls!"
each student filed against the walls and Miss Mason assigned us seats
First row:
"Patty, Sandy, Danny, Betty,and Marty"
Second row:
"Kitty, Wade, Jake, Ryder, and Marley"
Third row:
"Amy, Chloe, Arabella, Taylor-Ann"
"Yes!" we whispered to each other
"and... Marcel"
*******
Marcel?
Marcel was in this class?
I didn't hear him or see him at all.
But then again, he's so quiet.
Marcel Styles- #0 most popular guy in the whole school, (but he is the smartest!) he's a school nerd. He is becoming pretty much everyone. What the populars call, a "low life." Basically, if you look up popular in the dictionary, under 'antonyms' you see a pic of Marcel.
Did I mention that he's my best friend?
yes, I- Taylor-Ann Duncan-best friends with Marcel Styles.
*******
"Marcel?" I whispered "Marcel is here?" my heart rate quickened with hope.
And sure enough,Marcel's tall, awkward figure emerged from the crowd. He tripped on the way to his feet and blushed as everyone laughed at him.
He sat and put his head down.
"Hey" I whispered to him, he looked up
"Hi Annie!" he said to me
"Um Ms. Mason?" Keith chimed up "did you make row 3, all girls on purpose?"
The class-except Marcel and I- laughed at Keiths corny joke and shouted "Marceline!" at him
I hate it when they do stuff like that to him. I mean what did he do to them?
"Hey stop that Keith" I said to him "What'd he do to you?"
Keith glared at me
"He's advice, that's all I need"
I walked over to him
"That's not his fault" I said
"How's that?"
"He did not conceive himself" I touched Keith's chest with every word.
"Why are you defending him?"
"Because he's my friend Henderson"
He stepped toward me and put his hands on my waist
"I'll be your friend"he whispered softly, yet audible to the entire class
"I'm sorry,"I stepped away from him "I have better friends than you in my imagination
The class laughed
"Why are you so mean to me?"
I sat in my seat
"Why are you so mean to him?" And pointed to Marcel
He shrugged "Because I want to be"
I shrugged "Same answer"
Keith sucked his teeth
"Feel lucky that you're hot Duncan, or else I would totally flame you"
I spun around in my chair "Not my fault"
Keith opened his mouth, and then closed it, at a lack of words.
I spun back around to see Marcel staring
"Yes?" I asked him
"T-t-t-thank you, Annie"he said
"No problem babe"
He blushed and looked down to his desk as 1st period officially began.
