Gotta Love Those Hyper Emo Kids: Chapter 1- Hood Guy

Chapter 1

"Kerry!"

I turned to see who was calling my name and saw Dan smiling and running up to me. Dan had been my best friend since middle school. I smiled remembering the day we met.

*Flashback*

My first day of eighth grade I was skateboarding to school when I saw three jocks pushing around a skinny kid, holding his skateboard out of reach. I really hated seeing this kind of thing happen so I skated up to them and jumped off my board to grab the one kids board from a tall blonde one.

I fell down to the wet ground next to the skinny kid and got up to face the bullies. They were glaring at me and I saw a burnet in the back make a fist and start coming towards me. I shook my head and set the board down on the ground. He was just about to punch me when I lowered my head and his fist slammed into my helmet. There was a sickening crunch sound and a cry of pain.

I took off my helmet and dropped it to the ground as my black hair fell down from its bun. The blonde one's mouth dropped and I smirked. The redhead was helping his friend out and the burnet was too busy holding his hand like a baby.

"You're a chick?" He asked astonished.

"Yep and be lucky your friend over there hadn't hit me or your ass would be in jail." I said confidently. He shook his head and looked at the kid next to me.

"You're lucky you're little emo girlfriend here came and rescued your butt or you would be smeared on the pavement right now," he threatened. The kid just glared at the guy as he walked away. When they were out of sight he grabbed his board and stormed away.

"What? No thank you?" I yelled after him. He turned around and glared at me and walked back to me and got into my face. He towered over my 5'6 body but I held my ground and glared back.

"I don't remember asking for you help! Anyway I don't need some girls help!"

"I didn't say you did! But at least I'm not being a bitch to the person who just saved my ass!"

He stopped yelling at me and looked me over. I glared at him the whole time. What was he thinking? "You're okay chick. You gotta name?" He asked.

"Kerry Brooks"

"Well Kerry from now on you stick with me got it?" He grabbed his board and we walked to school together.

*End Flashback*

From then on we never left each other. Later on in the year, we let a girl named Ally Hendricks join us and from there we had a group. Freshman year twins moved to our town, Darren and Elizabeth, and our group grew even larger. Then just last year a guy named Frankie. Now we were on our senior year together and it looked like this year would be the best, besides the fact that we were all mostly failing. Well except Ally, she had the brains to go places and she knew it. She was going to get out of here and get a good life.

Dan stopped in front of me and just stood there for a moment. I raised an eyebrow at him and waited for the big news he wanted to say. He smiled a goofy little grin and bounced a little.

"IgotdetentionandItoldthemyouputmeuptoitsocomeondetentionbuddy!" He said really fast and started dragging me down the halls. I tried being a dead weight but he picked me up and started carrying me.

"Ass," I muttered. Ironically I was actually face to face with his butt. Ew.

"How's the view from down there love?" He asked. I could hear the smirk. I slapped his butt and I felt him laugh as he set me down.

"I should've never become friends with you," I said glaring at the floor playfully.

"Ah yes, but then how would you have formed The Fall From Oblivion?" He asked pretending to stroke his imaginary beard. I laughed and pushed him. That was our band that we made up and Liz was "manager" of. It was really wishful thinking and she only ended up "managing" to raid my refrigerator. She wasn't fat or anything she just ate A LOT.

"True, But who said we couldn't find another singer?"

He narrowed his eyes at me and I ran down the hall laughing. Of course he chased me and was just about to get me when we ran into the classroom and were swarmed by girls. He was a bit of a womanizer. He mouthed "sorry" to me I shrugged at him and he walked off into a group of girls.

I rolled my eyes and walked to the back of the room next to some kid with a hood on. I looked around the room for a second clicking my tongue against the roof of my mouth. What to do. What to do. Seeing as there was nothing interesting in this class I felt around in my pockets for some kind of electronic. Ahah! I patted my pocket where I felt my iPod and smiled triumphantly.

I plugged it in and started listening to Atrophy when the teacher walked in. It was Mr. Allen. He was a bitter old man who chose to keep teaching us rather than retiring when he could. He also hated me with a passion because my dad had run off with his wife. Vegas wedding was all they could afford and they even had the nerve to send me an invite right after they divorced my mom and Mr. Allen. I kind of felt bad for him, but that always went away the second he started yelling at me.

He walked over to where Dan was making out with some blonde chick and slapped them both upside the head before sitting back at his desk.

"There will be no baby-making in my classroom Mr. Carter! So keep it in your pants until after detention. After that I don't give a damn." Ah I loved him sometimes though. He didn't follow any of the teacher rules and he wouldn't hesitate to cuss you out.

"MS. BROOKS TAKE THOSE HEADPHONES OUT OR I'LL MAKE SURE THE REST OF YOUR MONTH IS FILLED WITH AFTER SCHOOL AND LUNCH DETENTION!" He screamed at me.

I laughed slightly "OKAY MR. ALLEN!" I screamed back and I swear to all that is holy I think I saw him almost smile.

"Alright people you know what to do so do it," he said and took out a book and started reading. I sighed and looked around the classroom. I had nothing to work on because I left my stuff in my car. I started tapping my finger on the desk and watched the clock go by.

After a couple minutes of that I got annoyed and put my head on the desk. I turned down the music on my iPod and started listening to Atrophy again. My mind started to wonder though and I fell asleep.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

I felt something buzz in my pocket and I jumped in my seat. I pulled out my cell phone and looked at it.

One new text: Dan

Dan: Wake up bells about to ring. Headphones.

I pulled my headphones out of my ear and sent a quick thanks to Dan right as the bell rang. I jumped out of my seat and was answering another text when I hit a wall. Well not really a wall but it was still hard enough to knock me back into my chair!

I looked up shocked to see that the guy who had his hood on was standing there looking at me. He was hot! Like if you put an egg on him the egg would cook and then you could just eat it off him! He started walking away and I tore my eyes off his butt just long enough to get mad at him being so rude.

"Hey buddy you don't just knock someone down and not say sorry!" I yelled and ripped the hood off his head. He turned around slightly to look at me and brushed my hand off his back.

"Sorry." He said and walked off. Whatever. I was in a really bad mood after that. Who was that kid? I don't think I've ever seen him in my life yet he was as mean to me as if I had hurt him in the past. Why was I even still thinking off him? Hmmm...these are the questions that I wonder.

You like him.

Whoa. What was that? I turned around to look behind me and saw no one was there. I'm losing it.

I'm your conscience and you like that guy back there

I do not you stupid thing! If you were real then why is it that whenever I'm planning on doing something risky you never speak up?

Because I'm your hearts conscience? I don't know this is just the time I decided to talk!

Wow aren't you a smarty? Anyway no I don't believe you are real I think I just had too much sugar today and that I need to go have a nap. Then you will go away.

Whatever no I won't.

Whatever to you! I'm done arguing with myself! Now go away!

Fine!

Well that was odd. I got into my car and drove to my house before going to band practice at the Twins place. After practice I got home and immediately fell asleep.
