The Life Of Korbyn Reinhart

Chapter One

~Hey wattpaders! Here is just a little taste of something I'm working on. Let me know what you think! More is coming :) Enjoy!! ~

Chapter 1

As I grabbed my math text book out of my locker, I gazed over at the hottest boy in school. His name was Jake Sterling and I had the BIGGEST crush of life on him. He had the most dreamy green/grey eyes, and the richest chocolate brown curly hair that he styled back into a quiff. He always wore his red and white varsity jacket with his blue jeans and Adidas high tops. And one of the best parts was his amazing smelling cologne that lingered in the hallway as he walked by. The only problem? He didn't even know I existed.

Let me explain a little more about myself. My name is Korbyn Reinhart. What a stupid name right? Who in the right mind would name a girl Korbyn? Yea it is spelt in more of a girl way, but it's still a boy name. I normally have my nose in a book, and I am very anti social. I'm super shy, and have barely any friends. Trying to get noticed in high school? As if! I keep everything about my appearance simple. I have long belly button length brown hair. I mostly wear it straight, but sometimes I wear it curly, hoping that I may get noticed by Jake that day. No such luck yet though. I have dark brown eyes that are shielded by thick black rimmed glasses which were in my opinion, the ugliest things ever. On the odd day, I wear one coat of mascara. Most days I wore blue skinny jeans with grey coloured tennis shoes and everyday I wore a different coloured v-neck T-shirt with a black cardigan.

I live in a family of five. My mom Diana, my step dad Charlie, my twin step brothers Brady and Alex, my dog Jackson and I live in a big house in California which we moved into a year ago, after my mom and Charlie got married. My mom and my birth dad, Joey, had divorced 3 years ago, but I will go into more detail about my birth dad another time. Brady and Alex are 3 years old and are two of my favourite people in the world. They made my life less miserable. I used to be an only child, but Brady and Alex make me feel less lonely. You would think that having 3 year old step brothers would be annoying. But I love them with all my heart.

Starting grade 9 was really hard for me. One, because I was all alone in a new school. And two, because the 'popular' girls who bullied me in elementary school followed me into Westburrrow high school. A group of 4 girls named CATS (Caroline, Anna, Tiffany, and Stacy) would make mean comments on my glasses, clothes, and any flaw they saw on me that day. They called me names like 'Ugly Betty', loner, nobody, and geek. Because they were popular, they obviously knew everyone at Westburrow. Just last week, they made a circle of people around me and told everyone fake secrets I had supposedly shared with them. None of them had been true. But no one knew that, and I was too scared to speak up and stay anything about it.

I daydreamed my way through math class and eventually the bell rang. I gathered my belongings and exited the classroom while handing my assignment into my teacher, Mr. Peters. I walked out of the school and got into my mom's silver land rover.

"Hello sweetie. How was your day today?"

"Fine." I responded. She asked me that same question everyday, and sometimes I wondered if she thought my response would ever change.

"What's for dinner tonight?" I asked with curiosity.

"Spaghetti and my homemade meatballs. Doesn't that sound delicious?"

Spaghetti wouldn't of been my first choice, but I was so hungry I would eat anything at this point.

"Sounds alright to me. The cafeteria food sucked today and I didn't eat lunch."

"Well that's not good or healthy. We can make a snack when we get home. Supper may be a bit later tonight anyway."

"Oh how come? Supper is normally pretty early."
