So get this. I go through the whole summer, practically dying to have some contact with the human world. Alright, that's a bit extreme. I wanted some contact with the people my own age. Especially Cash. So I'm a puppy love struck teenager! Sue me! Anyway, Here I am, first day of school. I'm wearing my white shirt with plaid roses on the neck line, and short plaid shorts that match the roses. Hey hey hey, don't give me that look. It was dress-code appropriate. I also had on my black sandals with a huge rhinestone right where the toe straps meet. My purple backpack was lookin' fine and I was ready to get going.
Gabrielle took the bus to school and it deposited her right in front of the seventh grade door. She put her hand over her forehead to shield it from the rising sun and searched the crowd for a certain brown haired girl.
"BELLA!" She heard a certain best friend scream.
"VINNIE!" She screamed back. It was like a scene from a movie. Both (quite frankly melodramtic) girls were running at each other with their arms out. They met in the middle with a thight embrace.
"Oh my god I haven't talk to you in forever you have to tell about your summer but me I met this guy named Allen and he's really cool he's an asain just my type right i think he may be... ohmigosh did you get your schedule let me see it! Oh my god! We have all the same teachers! Except for three classes. That sucks. OH WELL! OHMIGOD I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN FOREVER!!" Vinnie rambled on in a collection of run-on sentences.
Gabrielle sat queietly for a moment digesting everything, and making sure she was finished before she told Vinnie about the exciting news.
"So I have something I need to tell you but you cannot tell ANYONE. Okay?" Gabrielle asked.
"Sure, sure! What is it!?" Vinnie inquired
"Okay..." Gabrielle took a steadying deep breath. She hadn't said it out loud yet. "I have a crush on..."
"Yes? YES?" Vinnie screamed.
"I have a crush on... Cash."
"Oh. Well duh."
"Wait... What?" Gabrielle was confused.
"I already knew that! It was so obvious!"
"But... But I just found out myself over the summer."
"Mm. You sure didn't show that at school. I suppose you're just lucky Cash is just as oblivious as you are unsubtle."
"I... Well... Argh. You got me. But man am I obsessed with him!"
"Yeah no shit Sherlock. It's a first love. Now you only got one shot at a first love so dont eternally screw it up."
"Erm... thanks for the advice. It just sucks. You know, he's in eighth grade and I'm in seventh grade. I'll never really be able to see him, except in plays maybe. But you know Ms.Williamsons rule."
"Yeah. That no dating anyone in the cast rule blows."
"Totally."
Then, the bell rang and shouts of names were heard everywhere as kids acknowledged other kids they hadn't seen in weeks.
"Ugh. Theatre is last.I don't know how I can survive this day!" Gabrielle complained.
"Yeah well at least the stage is close to the door."
"Yeah but I have to come from Spanish. And my bus is all the way in the back of the bus line."
"That sucks chicka."
"I know."
They walked in silence a bit.
"Oh my god I cannot get that little rat out of my head! Its because I know he's going to be in this very same building as me almost everyday, and I'll NEVER get to see him!"
