Naomi

"Nay! C'mon we're going to be late!"

"ugh coming"

I sighed and rolled out of bed. Its the end of summer and Chelsey has me waking up at the crack of dawn.

I opened my room door and she stood there smiling with her nerdy outfit and thick glasses. Chelsey is really pretty dont get me wrong, but her personality and the way she dresses is just not up to par.  Same with me.

My name is Naomi. Im about 5'5 1/2. My hair reaches all the way down the bottom of my back, and its jet black. Im Blasian, Black and Asian if you didnt know. I also have Indian in me but not enough to claim it. My dad is black with some Indian, my mom is Asian. I have an older brother who looks a lot like me, but not exact. Every girl here in Wisconsin wants him. Its ridiculous.

Guys always tell me that Im too pretty to be the way that I am. That just pushes me away from them further. I make nothing but straight As. Ive never been to the principles office. Ive never drank or smoke. Im a proud virgin.

People say I have potential to be cool. If i didnt hangout with the people that I do...maybe I would. I hang out with people thats in band...and work in Steak n Shake. People who are assitants in the library and would rather study for our test next week then go party.

I dont dress "cute" or with "swag" at all. Im the real definition of basic, not the one that people have made up in their head. Chelsey was just like me, instead she actually dressed the part. Long brown skirts, shirts she made out of scarves. I love my weirdo.

"so are you ready to go?" she asked loudly

"does it look like Im ready Chelsey? and Shh! You're going to wake Nate and my parents up and they will be pissed"

"sorry" she said more quietly

She sat on my bed as I looked through my drawers. I put on a brown shirt with my favorite band on it, ripped jeans, and my brown converse.

"Alright whos driving?" I asked Chelsey as I brushed my hair

"I will. You dont know where it is, do you?"

"no"

"alrighty then"

"are you sure this is a good idea? We could easily go meet up with Jack and the guys a diner and read our summer reading books"

"Naomi, when the school year starts, we will be Juniors. This is like a pre-game for Senior year. We have to go"

"thats not our kind of crowd"

"I looked through the list of everybody invited, its literally our whole Sophmore class and they all said yes"

"What about Jack and Peter and Jerome and Tiff?"

"they're coming, now lets go. We are not getting out of this"

I groaned and she pulled me out of my room. We went down the steps quietly and out the door.

It felt soo good outside. It was dawn so it wasnt hot yet. There was a nice breeze. Maybe this isnt such a bad idea after all.

We got in the car and started driving. Well, Chelsey's bucket of a Buggie.

I guess I should tell you guys where we're going.

Theres this really stuck up bitch at my school named Selena. Shes throwing a breakfast/morning party for all of us attending this school as the year starts. We're going to have a bonfire on the beach and all see who has the same classes, blah blah blah. After that, we all leave and go to registration.
