A Billion Texts

Chapter 1

"Drew! Do you want to play basketball?" I shouted. He looked over and jogged to me. "We can't, there is an assembly today, remember?" "Can we skip?" "No, Serena is in charge of that and she'll have my head if I don't go to this one." "Ughh, why are you even with her?" I mumbled. I thought for a bit, "Oh I know! What if we leave half way through?"

"No can do, Logan honestly its just an hour." "Okay new plan, I skip and you go!" I cheered.

"You're funny. If I'm stuck there then so are you! We're all in this together, right?" I instantly break out into the song and dance moves, "WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER ONCE WE KNOW WHO WE ARE WE'RE ALL STARS AND WE SEE THAT!" Drew just stared at me like I'm on drugs. He muttered incoherent words that sounded like 'I need to get better friends' but I know it wasn't that because how can you get better than me? I just pouted while he grabbed my hand and dragged me to the auditorium.

In the auditorium we found our friends, Matt Jones, Sean Jensen, Kyle Stewart, and Nick Anderson. We exchanged our greetings and chatted for a bit. "Superman is way better than Batman!" I argued with Sean. "No! Superman is afraid of a rock!" he fought back. "Oh heck no! Batman has no superpowers! He can't do anything!" "Batman is more realistic! He has mixed martial arts!" "Dude, they're superheroes! They aren't supposed to be realistic!" We kept on arguing back and forth until the lights dimmed.

"Hey guys!" I heard an overly perky voice say. I don't trust anyone who is that wide-awake and loud before 11 AM... its 10:32 AM. Serena is seriously too loud; tone it down girl! She wears too much makeup and the tiniest clothes. When I first saw her, I thought she was a clown- no she was just raped by a crayon.

"I know you all have been waiting for this announcement all week!" "I wasn't," I muttered. "Anyways, Rockwood High is taking part in a contest! We are going to try to get a billion texts before other schools do!" Whoopdedoo "If we win, we get a private concert from One..." "-Republic!" I interrupted.

"No! Who cares about that ugly band?" Ehh... I give her props for actually know that One Republic is a band. "I was going to say One Direction! A.K.A. The BEST BAND EVER!" She screeched. That's it I'm going deaf. "Not only do we have to compete against other schools in California but also we have to compete against each other. Each school has to try to get a billion texts first so One Direction will play a private show at their school. The billionth texter will get to meet One Direction and spend three weeks with them anywhere in the world! Pamphlets are going to be handed out to each student so you can read the requirements."

Yada, yada, yada... Instantly I heard shrieks and screaming, some people were even crying! I tuned everyone out and just popped in my headphones. Yes, I'm playing some nice music, One Republic.

After awhile Matt tapped on my shoulders. "What?" I said grumpily. "Are you going to participate?" "Heck no, I'm tired of One Direction already and I only know one song! 1D this, 1D that! I've only listened to that beautiful song they sang. It was actually pretty catchy." I ranted.

All the guys laughed. "You're such a weird teenager Logan." Kyle laughed "And I'm proud of it." I shot back. I'm not a fan of them but I don't hate them. As I said that beautiful song of theirs is pretty good; I tip my hat to the sing writers. I still crack gay jokes about them; it is too hard to resist.

"Can we skip now? I want to finally play some basketball or even soccer!" I begged. "I have a test today... screw it!" Nick said. We went to the field because the court was taken already and I refused to kick 7 year olds off the court. We went three on three. Drew, Sean, and I on one team and Matt, Kyle, and Nick on the other. Wilson, you are going down!" Kyle taunted."

"In your dreams, Stewart!" I taunted back. "yeah, you are in my dreams." He teased.

Our team ended up winning 15-13. Sean made the winning goal. "In your face! Now you have to pay for our meals!" I bragged. "Whatever, we are getting McDonalds. We are broke teenagers." He grumbled.

Once at McDonalds, I got a happy meal. What? Who says you are too old for one? "Sometimes I can't believe you are 17." Matt said. Me, being the almost adult I am, stuck my tongue out in a very mature way. "18 in April!" "Oh yeah! How does it feel to almost be an adult?" Sean asked. "Wait! They forgot to give me my toy!" I panicked.

I marched up to the cashier and politely said, "Excuse me, but you forgot to give me my toy." "Aren't you a little too old for a happy meal?" he asked smugly. Oh no, he didn't! "No, I am not!" I huffed. "You are never too old for a happy meal! And I would like my toy please!" "Well I'm sorry we are all out of toys." He shot back.

No way! I want my Build-A-Bear! I was about to jump over the counter but Nick and Drew held me back. "Can she just please get her toy?" Drew asked. "I said we are all out!" "Liar! I saw Build-A-Bears in that box!" I yelled. "Calm Down." Nick said. "You are going to get us kicked out." "Don't worry I got this..." I said coolly.

I jumped on the counter and grabbed his shirt, "GIVE ME MY TOY!" "Excuse me, is there a problem here?" I heard someone say. Finally a professional! "Yes! That man,-I mean boy- won't give me my toy!" "I'm sorry mam but we are going to have to ask you to leave." The stupid dude said. I take back what I said about professional. "No! I want my toy!" "Calm down, Logan!" Drew said. "Security! Please escort this young lady out!" "I ain't no lady!"

They ended up kicking me out... now I am banned from that McDonalds. "I can't believe you got us kicked out and banned..." Nick stated. "Oops?" I said sheepishly.

'WE'RE GOING DOWN, DOWN IN AN EARLIER ROUND, AND SUGAR, WE'RE GOING DOWN SWINGING! I'LL BE YOUR NUMBER ONE WITH A BULLET! A LOADED GOD COMPLEX, COCK IT AND PULL IT!' My phone started blasting out Fall Out Boy. I sang along and then finally picked up.

"Hello? My life sucks!" I answered. "Logan?" "Oh hey, Sean!" "Where are you?" he asked. "Oh I'm outside chilling with... Drew and Nick." "Why?" "Well I got kicked out and banned from that McDonalds." I casually said. "Okay- wait what? Seriously, again?" "I thought we agreed not to talk about this again!"

"Okay, fine. We'll meet you out there." He sighed. "Wait! Grab my food!" I yelled out right before he hung up.

"You've been kicked out of a McDonalds before?" Drew asked. "Why do you think I never go to the other McDonalds?" I sassed. "Logan!" Matt screamed from the backseat. We got in the car and Kyle was driving us home. When we got home we finished our Mickey D's- that's right, I'm going gangsta. I quickly got ready for bed. Right before I fell asleep, I realized- I never got my toy. Dang it...
