Different Dimension (Editing)

Chapter Two

Donovan was already in homeroom, flirting and being all touchy-feely. The nerve that boy had.

"Stop staring," Jenica said, nudging my shoulder.

"I'm not staring!"

"Yes you are. You're watching him flirt with that freshman over there, touching her arm, and everything. I think her name is Mya Novák. She's some foreign exchange student from Prague. I'll check at my Office T.A period. I better not get caught, or I'm killing you."

"Why would you get in trouble?"

"I'm not allowed to snoop, dude, I told you."

"Well, dude, I never asked. You suggested it, so ha!"

"I know you were staring, Nick," Jen said more serseriously.

"What are trying to say?"

"I'm not saying anything."

"Just say it, Jen. You might as well!"

"Maybe you like him and you're so disgusted by it you won't admit it."

"I wish you'd kept that to yourself."

"Think about it Nikki, think about it."

Like hell I will. I sat in the desk, listening to the announcements, then went to my locker and threw in my backpack, taking out my bulky binder. Locking it back, I headed towards the class I hated with a passion: P.E. And not because of exercise. It was because it was so damn early in the morning and because I was one of the few girls in the class. Kelsey didn't count, she was practically a man anyway, and neither did Wendy, one of my best friends, because she was never here. I mean I don't mind being the only girl, but when it's in a group of thirty, twenty-eight of them are guys, and sixteen of them are perverted freaks, it gets a little awkward.

After the bell rang, Mr. Hendrickson, our P.E. teacher, came out of hiding in his office.

"It's Friday everyone, TGIF," he said, attempting to sound cool. At least he tried.

"You know what that means. Go get dressed and then it's free period. I'm tired of you brats this week," he says jokingly.

"You know you love us Hen," Jake McCartney said, laughing. I was making my way towards the locker room when Wendy popped up next to me.

"Hey Wen, long time no see."

"I told you I've been on independent study."

"Oh yeah." I forgot that she had done another one of her couple month disappearing acts where she just stops school and jumps to independent study when things get bad. She's my best friend, but she runs from her problems and no matter how many times I tell her she needs to face the music, she just refuses to.

"And you've seen me. Today!" She laughed and I smiled, shaking my head.

"Youre ridiculous." We walked into the locker room and went to our lockers. I took off my shirt, then threw it inside, putting on my BBHS P.E. shirt on.

"So what's been going on since I've been gone?" She yelled through a row of lockers.

"Nothing really. Oh, the winter ball is coming up! The seventeenth."

"Oh, I saw the poster in the front when I walked in this morning."

"Thank you, I made most of it. I'd take full credit, but I didnt make the paper." Wendy hopped on top of the lockers in her bra and sweats and replied,"Stop tooting your own horn." She slipped on her shirt and came over to my locker, where I slipped on my sweats and put on my jacket that said "HOME OF THE BEARS" and had the tennis team on the back of it. I hated winters.

We went outside and walked to the track, talking about plans to go to the mall this and next weekend so we could catch up and get some cute stuff for the dance. Every once in while, one of the guys would say something pervy or start walking with us while we were having one of our wacky conversations and we would have to turn around and walk in the opposite direction or dart across the track to get away from the guys. I'll admit it wasn't always bad, but sometimes, you didn't know what you were getting yourself into by saying a simple hello I swear.
