Metanoia

Chapter 1~Ace

•Chapter 1•

Big town, big attitude.

My name's Maddelyn Kate Turner, I'm turning seventeen and live alone with my mother. We lead a simple life, staying in a rented apartment. My friends keep me company though, taking me on shopping trips, most of the time ending in them gushing over what they find "cute" guys that happen to be at the mall too. Personally, I have no interest in them whatsoever, but I still play along. They know I'm just acting but I mean it's fun so why not?

First day of school. (I'm still sad Summer break's over) Nothing much until someone had to disrupt my peace.

"Maddie!" Eva Marie Stanford, my supportive bestie since second grade, whisper-shouted as she nudged me with her boney-frickin' elbow.

"What."

I shot her a plain look of annoyance. As she stuck out her finger, I looked in the same direction. Walking towards the cafeteria, which had crappy food by the way, was a guy flashing his pearly-whites every few seconds at the starstruck girls.

"Its Ace f-ing Ryder, movie star. He was in Needing You and The Fighter. Ever heard of him?" She squealed, pinching me.I swear she could be such a fangirl sometimes, or basically all the time.

"No. And-" I glared at her and pinched her back harder.

"That hurts like shit, Mad, god."

I shrugged.

Ace made his way over here, smacking the basketball I was spinning, off my finger, grabbing it and then tossing it onto some dude's lunch tray which caused some of the "food"('cause nobody has an idea what it is)to splatter onto him but he didn't say a thing. His jaw was just hanging, a star struck expression on his face.

"What the hell was that for?" I grumbled.

Now everybody's attention was diverted to me, a lot gasping, whispering ish about it, had their jaws hanging or all at the same time. How they do it? Beats me. He then proceeded to arch an eyebrow and leaned forward, as if he had been challenged, questioning me.

"What did you just say?" I caught a whiff of his minty breath as he asked me the question.

"W-Why the hell did you throw my ball in the dude's lunch for." I stuttered, which had never happened before, as I crossed my arms. I could imagine everyone face palming and thinking I have a death wish, which I probably do.

"Interesting..." he commented.

Interesting? What was that suppose to mean? This guy was already confusing me, and I only met him like (about) twelve seconds ago. He joined us at our table, making the airhead barbie-girls shoot envious looks at me. Soon everybody was done being busy bodies and went back to doing their own thing while Eva introduced Ace to the crew.

"The one in glasses is Joel Winston, the nerd," At that, Joel looked up from his books rolled his eyes at Eva. she continued,"the one with the man bun is Gabe Maslow, snapback's Gregory Smith, Cody Nelson's the dude making out with the pizza," Cody suddenly stopped, wiping the sauce off his face with the back of his hand, making all of us burst into laughter. "Anyways, that is Brandon and Dominic Callentelli,"at which they waved and smiled. "He's Nigel Coleston, Malcom Louis Robinson a.k.a Mr Fancy Pants, that is Wesley Crosby, my boyfriend, and this bitch here is Maddelyn Kate Turner, an effin' cool tomb-"

I stepped on her foot and scowled at her.

"First of all, who are you calling a bitch?Secondly, I am a girl and I would like to be referred as one," I hissed, emphasising 'girl' and giving Eva the death stare.

"She's right though, you kind of are a du-" Nope. I didn't want to hear it. I got up from my seat, and went up to knee Greg in his nuts.

"Fuq..." I heard him wheeze as he fell off the bench, clutching his privates.

"Keep your shit in your ass and not let it out of your mouth the next time."

Again our table exploded in laughter, probably disturbing all the other students,but we didn't care. I turned to see this Ace dude chuckling away as well, his beautiful greyish-blue eyes gleaming. Hold up. Beautiful? I swear there was something wrong with me that day.

Well, turns out Ace was in my classes, from History to AP Calculus. He was in it all. And of course, he just had to annoy me every single lesson, doing things like kicking my chair and throwing stationery or paper at me. This new dude was pretty annoying. Oh yeah, not to mention, wherever he went, there was a crowd of girls following him.

Oh, he made out with four girls during lunch and I'm pretty sure all of them had boyfriends. The heck is wrong with the people in my school and new kid? These horny ass kids... I know he is a movie star and all but still, why? It could be because Ace had sparkling amber, half shaven, side-swept hair and his eyes are-wait. Why am I even talking about that? I blame the hormones. 

Geez.

I pushed all those questions and random thoughts to the back of my head and hit the hay-not literally though. Honestly, I'm surprised I actually remembered that idiom. I let my mind calm down and just relaxed. This first day of school was pretty interesting. I got to make a new friend and I got to knee Greg in the balls. Yep, definitely a mighty fine day.
