My name is Elizabeth Fim and I'm a sophomore at K.V. High School in Arlington, Texas, a small and hot town. My school, being smaller than most schools, with only two thousand kids at the high school is suffering from threats to close. Yet, everyone here is overjoyed to be attending K.V. We not only get amazing teachers but actual food in our cafeteria. It's great! But my story doesn't focus on our overwhelming threats of closing, but on my love-life. I know, as cheesy as it sounds, I actually have one! You know it's funny to think that any guy is interested in an energetic, teasing and happy, fifteen year old.
So before I bore you with my narrating I would like to start my story, I do hope you enjoy it!
Beep! Beep! My hand came crashing down onto my alarm clock as I pushed my green covers to the side. A yawn escaping from my mouth as I decided whether to stand or fall back asleep and be late for school. And just as I was about to drift to sleep-
"Elly, you better be down here in five minutes or else!" I heard my mother yell from down stairs. I sprung up and ran to my closet, grabbing a polo and a pair of khaki pants. I slipped them over my head and put my hair in a pony tail, then grabbing my tennishoes and a hair clip for my bangs.
"Coming, mom!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, so that my mother would be informed of my cooperation. She often found me sleeping past my alarm and would get many emails from school claiming my absense. I would get the terrible punishment everytime and yet it wasn't enough to make me stop staying up until two A.M. Yes, my night owl self just can't seem to get a break. As I ran down stairs and into the kitchen my mother grabbed my shoulders to give me a goodbye hug and then I was out the door, after grabbing my backpack and phone off of the island counter. Running to school I saw my two best friends, Luci and Nicole. We've know eachother since we were seven years old. Our friendship is strong and we have been through thick and thin to get to where we are now.
Luci, or as I call her Lu, is an amazing actress and singer. While Nicole, or Ni, is a great actress and she is smart, too! I'm an actress and dancer, singing isn't really my thing and I don't personally think I'm all that intelligent. My eyes wandered to the school. It was definitely old, but all the talk of it closing has to be a rumor! I mean its teachers our probably better than any college professor out there.
"Um, you alright? El?" My attention snapped away from the school as I noticed Ni's hand in front of my face.
"Oh, sorry! I was just trying to remember if I finished the homework for science." I said while nervously laughing. Lu and Ni both smiled at me as they each grabbed a hand of mine and pulled me towards our second class, English. Since I had once again arrived late to school...
My eyes skimmed the packet we were assigned to read and write a two page essay about.
"That's what I get for doing Ap English..." I whispered while trying to make sense of the eighteen page packet about the need of punctuation.
"Yep, I'm doomed to fail!" I heard Lu exclaim to Ni as they looked over our packet while Ni sighed and patted Lu's back to comfort her. My eyes started to wander around Mrs. Remina's classroom. There were book quotes all over the walls and Shakespearean plays covered her desk. She was a huge fan of literature and theatre. This was my favorite teacher of all time. She is relatable in so many ways!
My eyes skimmed over the students as well. A few boys that caught my eye when I first came here were passed as if nothing, they were all jocks who only got into these classes by cheating and bullying. There was one student who still caught my calculating eye, though. Marc Sea, or Mar. He is the only nice boy here. Although his sense of humor is all over the place! I've always had a huge crush on him but never had the courage to tell him. I probably would now if not for the fact that my mom would kill me.
I love my mom, don't get me wrong, but she is probably the most protective parent you have ever met! No dating until I'm eighteen, I'm not allowed to even skim over boys, no kissing, no touching, no inappropriate gestures, no winking, so basically no intimate movements at all. I've tried to do it before, but somehow she always finds out. It makes me wonder if one of my two best friends are being a tattle tale...
Before I knew it the bell had rang and I was left alone in the wide room with some of my favorite quotes. I moved my hands to begin my process of organizing items but found no items to organize, "That's strange..." I whispered as I glanced at my surroundings. No one was even in here. Sighing, I grabbed my items and walked towards third period, to the much beloved gym...
I dribbled the basketball across our newly waxed floor while smiling from ear to ear as my eyes dusted the people in front of me. Their indurance was certainly better then mine but they didn't know how to improv! Before I could put my genius plan in action I happened to get my leg snagged on a nail. Making me stumble forward and faceplant onto the ground causing our gym to erupt in laughter. To my surprise someone actually did help me up, though. "Mar!" I breathed out as I was so close to his body it scared me. My breath could reach his face and I would have leaned in to taste his lips if not for my annoying friends...
"Mar-mar and Elly sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!!" I heard Ni and Lu exclaim as I jumped back and sent a glare towards them. My day could've been so much better if not for their involvement. I thought as I huffed and marched away while my cheeks burned with a tint of red no one needed to see on my acne clear face.
A/n- I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of this. I know it isn't too good but I'm trying my best...
