Darkness

California Girl

August 16th, 2006

The bell rung as I scurried out of my seat and into the crowded halls of Gillies High. Gillies was the home of the fighting fish, they said it was because "Gill"ies. Pretty puny if you ask me.. I passed couples making out against the blue and white lockers, the usual. There was the jocks, the nerds, the emos, the cheerleaders, the popular kids, you get the point. Then there's my friend group. We don't really have a specific 'title'. It's me, Claire Dulton, Jackson Warrning, Xavier Dalton, Vincent Ramirez, and Cameron Boyd.

Claire had a tan skin complexion with brown curly hair and emerald green eyes. She had an hourglass figure that most girls wanted but still was petite.
Jackson had wavy blonde hair and hazel eyes, and was pretty lean with a perfect jaw line. Most girls would drool over him but he always ignored them. We don't really know why.
Xavier had a fairly dark skin tone from always be at the beach since his surfing background. He had brown long hair, about down to his eyes, which he would pull behind his ears and it would fall down perfectly around his face. Occasionally he would pull it into a little bun, which he really pulls off. He wasn't as lean as Jackson, but he was still fairly lean.
Vincent was pretty light skinned, he was the nerdy, gamer one in our friend group, so he didn't come in contact with the sun very much. He had black hair that was pushed back and sprayed to stay in place. He had no muscle really, just slender and tall. He had crystal blue eyes to top it off that any girl could get lost in. He had quite a charm.
Then there was Cameron. He was a gorgeous human being. He had blonde hair that was similar to Xavier's but a little shorter. To top it off he had blue eyes like the sea, which I admit I've got lost in many times, and then the sharp jaw line. If I had a crush on anyone it would be him. He's also my next door neighbor. Since I've moved here, he's been one of my best frirnds.
And then there's me, I have long hair with a brown to blonde ombré. I had light green eyes with tints of blue around my eyes, a narrow nose and small jaw. I was pretty petite in general, never really was on the bigger side.

We chatted until the bell rang. It was the usual, Claire updating us on the usual new daily gossip, or how hot Christian Marn was. Captain of the baseball team. He went from the weird boy in 8th grade to the hottest guy in school by the end of freshman year. Girls have been drooling over him since.Although Claire had a crush on him since 6th grade.She was nerdy like him at one point and they used to be best friends until freshman year when he got more popular. We took her in by the middle of freshman year and I'm glad we did, she's quite the chick.

I closed my locker and nodded , which was their qué, as usual, to start heading towards the lunch room. we sat at the round table, Claire and Cameron were both next to me then Xavier was next to Cam and Vincent next to Claire, Tyler across from Cam and Jackson across from me. Occasionally people would join us. Usually friends of ours. But other then that it was usually just us.

"Oh my god, did you see that new girl that came in last week" Jackson splurted out while we all began to eat.

We all have him a 'look' and chucked at his ridiculousness.

Jackson has thought she's the hottest girl in school since she moved here, personally she wasn't really the "hottest", but Jackson can think whatever he likes I suppose.

Suddenly and out of nowhere, I started getting light headed. I felt dizzy and sick, it just hit. I laid my head down on the table and then everything went black.

----------------------------------------

I felt a hand rubbing my back,

"Sarah, wake up."
It was Cameron. I grunted and slowly pulled my head up. I felt like I just go knocked out by a baseball bat, I had a headache and felt close to passing out. I attempted to get up but I couldn't catch my balance I started tumbling slightly backwards, and thankfully, Cameron caught me.

"Sarah, are you okay? Do you need to go to the nurse?" He was so worried, it was kinda cute that he was showing he cared. I mean, yeah, he usually did show that he cared, But me being me, I always found it super cute.

"N-no... I'll be fine, thank you though."

He gave me a 'yeah right' look, "Yeah, no I'm taking you to the nurses."

"Ugh, but Cam, you know I don't like them."

"I know but I care about you, you need to relax. Here, I'll grab your bag, just hang on to me."

Finally, I just accepted the fact that I was gonna go to the nurses whether I liked it or not.
