The first Trials

Chapter 2

A/N: Was listening to this!

Charlotte and I were close to school. About a block away. But then Charlotte tripped and dropped her bag. Her phone and other little bits and pieces all fell out. I stopped skating and helped grab everything and stuff it in her bag.

"Thank you."

I jogged to catch up to my skateboard which was about to go on the road. I reached down but tripped, my foot hit the skateboard and sent it rolling onto the road. At that same time my body became in contact with the pavement with a thud.

"Ouch!" she said. "That looked like it hurt!"

"Yah think?" 

"Hey your skateboard is on the road!"

"Way to state the obvious!" I said standing up while rolling my eyes. 

I  ran across the main road, which luckily didn't have any cars coming towards me. I bent down and caught the skateboard before it hit the silver Ford parked in front of a small cottage. 

"Gotcha!"

"Come on Justin! We're gonna be late for school!" Charlotte yelled from the other side.

"Okay, okay."

We spent the next 15 minutes walking in silence and fortunately we didn't trip on the sidewalk again. We were very close to school, almost to the part where kids get dropped off by the bus.

A guy around my age came along with a rectangular box in his hand and went over to his mate who was leaning against his car. The first guy with the box opened it and gave his friend a pill shaped lollie. I looked over at Charlotte who's mouth was agape. 

"HEY! Don't take them. Please trust me! Drugs aren't the answer to anything you know! I know I am a stranger but to help a fellow student I will give you advice and tell you to go to rehab. Please trust me for my sake, for the world's sake!" Charlotte begged the two guys.

They both looked at her strangely.

"You do realize that these are just Tic-Tacs?" the second guy asked while the first just chuckled.

"Oh," she replied and her face became a scarlet red from embarrassment.

"But here's my number. Your cute when you ramble," the second guy gave her a piece of paper. I peered over her shoulder and the paper had a number and his name - Travis - on it.

"Hey! Leave my sister alone!" I told Travis. I loved to play the brother card.

He guy just ignored me and continued with the compliments while Charlotte reddened. 

"Bye! Charlotte, we have to go!" I said dragging her away from the now creepy guy - Travis.

"But isn't he cute?" she asked me in a dreamy voice.

"Charlotte!"

"Fine! Lets go!"

We kept on going and two minutes later I was in the gym. Not with Charlotte but with the rest of the new freshman. I looked around to see if Lacey was here yet. 

Lacey is my bestfriend. She is super nice and she is basically nice to everyone except for Ella, who basically is the queen of drama and Lacey calls her the self centered b*tch of Elmira junior high (which now is senior high of course). But back to Lacey. She basically my favorite, super sweet and selfless brunette in the school.

"JAY! Over here!"

"There you are!" I said as a turned around to see Lacey.

"I haven't seen you in ages!"she exclaimed and engulfed me in a massive hug.

It was true. I haven't seen her in three weeks. She was away in Vancouver, Canada with her family. They owned a massive horse ranch with a massive house that also had the greatest pool you will ever see with a waterside that dropped about a foot before you even reach the water!

"So Jay-Jay, any new girlfriends?"she asked me.

"Nope, you?"

"I don't date girls silly!"

"I meant are you dating someone!"

"But you said 'you?"

"Ugh! I forgot how annoying you can be sometimes!"

"Whateves."

Then, all of a sudden I heard a high pitched scream.

"Lacey! There you are! I'm thinking about telling the person you admire that you like him. Because your not gonna steal him from me. He's mine. I saw him first b*tch!"Ella told Lacey rudely. Then she turned to me and batted her eyelashes.

"Oh hey babe!"

I stood there in shock not just because she was flirting with me but because she was saying this mean stuff to Lacey there bluntly. Jeez. Cat fights are weird AF.

"First of all, Ella, your creeping me out. Second of all, stop it with that crap towards my bestfriend so please piss off!" I told her.

"Whatever babe, I know you still have the hots for me!" she called back as she was walking away.

Great, a good start to the day (do you sense the sarcasm?)
