After my morning run, I turned on my radio and woke up Veronica for school. Uncle Marco is still passed out on his bed, so i guess we have to take the bus today. I walked into the bathroom and put on my makeup, a thin line of eye liner and mascara. I threw up my hair up in a bun, and walked into the kitchen to get a bottle of water. As on cue, Cole ran over, wagging his tail." We will see you later, bud."Veronica said as she patted him on the head. She had her long brown hair in curls and wore light pink lip stick, her everyday go to look. She has the better style between the two of us. Shes more of the girly type, where im more care free. I don't spend too much on how i look. We grabed our school bags and walked down the street to the bus stop. The heat hit us instantly, and I had to put on my sun glasses just to see outside. "Are you ready for the Science test today? I know we studied all night but I'm still feeling pretty nervous." Veronica asked, figiting with her ear plugs. It was her worst subject in school, but thankfully my best. We helped eachother a lot with school work. shes amazing in math, which i'm completely clueless in. " Yea i think I'm pretty prepared. Here, take my study notes." I said as i passed them to her, and she let out her breath. " Thank god, i forgot to make mine."
After a few mins, the bus pulled up to the curb, opening its doors. "Good morning." The bus driver mumbled as everyone filed in. I sat in the back, and put in my headphones. I started to play Shes killing me by a Rocket To The Moon, and drumed my fingures to the beat. The grade 12's sat behind me, and gave a warning look to a 10 who was about to sit behind me. Sigh, when will they learn?As a grade 11, i never really get bothered when sitting in the back. I mind my own business and listen to my music. Its stupid really, but the 12's are pretty teritorial over their back seats.
The bus ride is only 15 minutes, thankfully. I walk down the steps and lean on the bus, waiting for Veronica to come out. In the distance, I spot Abby walking over to us, her long jet black hair floating behind her. "I told my parents about the sponsership the seccond i got home. They freaked! My mom would'nt stop saying 'my baby is growing up!' and cried a bit. Like it was pretty wierd." she complained when she walked over. "Mine and Justin's parents are making us train after school, you guys in?" " Deffintly, we didn't do anything this morning so i think we should get as much practice as possible." I agreed.
While walking to our lockers, Justin caught up to us. "Hello ladies," he said in a terible Australian accent. Abby laughed and opened her locker, and sighed as a stack of paper fell all over the floor. " You really need to clean that locker of yours, who knows whats in there," he joked, and bent down to help her pick them up. "Says the one whos locker looks like a tornado crashed through it." she laughed as she lightly smacked him in the arm. As I turned around to open my locker, I almost hit him in the face. He had wavy blonde hair, percing blue eyes, and towered over me. " Oh im soo sorry!" I apologized, when he dogged the door. " Its all good." he said, smiling at me. When he walked away and couldn't hear me, I turned to Abby." Who's that?" "Oh, the cutie you almost gave a black eye to, hes new. I think his name is Chase." "Huh" is all I said as we walked to our first period class.
Like i predicted, the science test was pretty simple and straight forward.
hey, btw the test is really simple, just look over the deffinitions again, a lot are on there.
I texted Veronica so she wouldn't freak out when she got the test next period.
ok thanks, lets pray that i pass it.
Fingers crossed.
We had to keep our marks over a 80%, or summer school and no surfing. It was our number one rule that our parents made Uncle Marco make sure we followed. So far, both of our marks were over 85%, so we can't aford to fail a test.
I walked into my seccond period class, and sat down in my normal seat, and put in one of my ear puds. My English teacher walked in shortly after i got in, and started talking about her weekend. Mrs.Evans is a pretty cool teacher, and she doesn't care if I listen to music in class. All my other teachers got mad at me on my first day of classes for listening to music, till they realized that i couldn't consertrat and sit still without it. They still give me disaproving looks but don't say anything. Mrs. E started her lesson on Romeo and Juliet, but I wasn't listening. I doodled all in the back of my notebook, drawing anime eyes and faces. I looked up ocasionaly and looked interested so the teacher wouldn't get mad. I've read the book so many times i've lost count, so when she gave us our homework, I finished it before class ended.
When the bell rang, I jumped out of my seat and went to my locker for lunch."So whats for lunch today" Justin said as he got to my locker, looking through myy bag. " Well its sushi day," i said, putting my books away. He srunched up his nose. " its actually really good. Try one, pleassse?" I looked up at him with a pleading face. "FINEE, give me the damn sushi." He took the plate, and took one of the califonia rolls and poped it into his mouth."Its... actually not that...bad." he said with his mouth full. " Told ya, now give me back my sushi!" Abby came down the hall and slid down the locker, sitting beside me. She opened up her paper bag and pulled out her cucumber sandwich, taking a bite. She tossed one over my head and Justin caught it. Their families made both of them heathly lunches everyday, alternating every week. "i love your mom." he said taking a bite. Abby laughed, "Well isn't that a little wierd, don't go hitting on her now, shes married." she joked, and sat there for the rest of lunch taking about how good Abby's moms cooking was.
The rest of the day passed in a blur, and all of a sudden fourth period was done, and Veronica and I walked home, since we missed the bus. When we got home 25 minutes later, we got changed quickly, leaving a note on the fridge saying where we were heading. Abby and Justin picked us up, and we headed down to the beach. We ran the lenght of the beach, warming our muscles up before getting on out boards. We paddled around till a decent size wave rolled toards us. We gave up after a hour of not seeing a single goos wave, and descided to call it a day.
The seccond we got home, i kicked off my shoes and took a hot shower. While standing under the water, my mind was picturing what the compitition was going to be like. This is seccond year entering, but the first year we placed out of the top ten. This year will be better, i hope. I stood there letting the water fall over me for a few more minutes and got out. I pulled my hair in a tight french braid and pulled on my pj shorts and a tank top. When i walked back into my bedroom, Veronica was already passed out on her bed, so I turned off the lights and crawled into bed. Letting todays events fill my mind, my eyes couldn't stay open any longer and I fell into a deep sleep.
