Unpredictable Love

Chapter 1

    Sleepy...tired... I've been up all night. Today is the day that i explore my new school, i cant tell if I'm excited or scared. Quite honestly, I don't feel anything. I was shopping all yesterday for clothes I can wear to school. I've never really been to a public school before, I've always been in private or charter and have to wear uniforms everyday. It was so simple, I never really had to think of what to wear, sense it was the same outfit every time. I don't really know what to expect, from what i hear, public schools are a lot more care free and ghetto, but I'm sure ill like it, its good for me to meet new types of people.
    After thinking of what may come, I get up slowly with my eyes still shut, and I put on my blue bunny slippers. I have wood floors, so it's always cold. I head to my closet, and skim my eyes across the colorful varieties of fabric and silk. I pick out a loose fitting mustard yellow vintage crop top, a pair of distressed boyfriend style jeans, and high top black vans. I for once, am quite proud about my outfit, I could totally get used to this! At my vanity, I lightly touch up my face with makeup to match my complexion. My skin is quite fare, so it really makes my light green eyes stand out with my strawberry blonde hair.
MOM:"Beverly!"
I jump in surprise, my moms voice can really carry! I hear her head up the stairs and open my door.
BEVERLY:"Yes mom?"
MOM:"What time do you think it is?"
I look at my alarm clock a little dumb founded.SHIT! Its already 7:45am! Time really goes by way too fast..I quickly grab my books and car keys and head for the door, not acknowledging my mom trying to stop me.
MOM:"Your not going to have a quick bite to eat?" She said this surprised.
BEVERLY:"As much as i like eating, i cant be late for my first day! Love you!"
I shut the door some what violently, and get in the car. I just got my car, and the new smell of white forest pine  fills my surroundings, i relax. I start the engine and drive for about seven minutes, luckily for me, my school was not far away. Parking in the nearest spot to the entrance, i check my reflection and walk inside. To my astonishment, the hallways are long and wide! Thank god, my other school was totally crammed because the hallways were like FIVE FEET WIDE!  I continue to walk straight, and analyze the walls. They're smooth and shiny, but the color really catches my eye,Its crimson! Never in my life have i seen a school with deep red walls, it makes the place look so much cleaner, rather than those plain, mucky, white walls. I finally get to the commons. There are pastel yellow couches arranged around the walls and in the center off the room. On the east side of the room seems to be tables and vending machines with almost 27 people surrounding it, not including the ones at the table. There are people every where, and they seem to be in groups, all of them have a unique look to them, clothes, hair, attitude. The conversations consist of many, many things, but all i really hear are mumbles . I wonder around trying to find my locker, but there are two floors full of them, its going to be a challenge..
Continuing to walk, i catch a few glances from guys. Their eyes linger over me, making me feel uncomfortable. It must be the magic of my outfit, at least it as an effect on people...i guess...
    They stare at me all the way down the hallway, i get some cat calls and whistles, I'm not really enjoying this. Suddenly i feel a hand grab my butt.
LOAN:" Hey there beautiful.."
I turn around, surprised and embarrassed.
BEVERLY:"Excuse me, stop that right now! You do not just do that to someone!'
LOAN:"Woah sunshine, chill, I'm only greeting you."
BEVERLY:"Well its rude and disrespectful, no one should be greeted like that!"
LISA:"LOAN! Leave that poor girl alone, she doesn't need any of your nonsense!"
I turn around to face the girl defending me. She has magnificent, vibrant, blonde hair, and the light reflecting off her pale skin is so bright, but beautiful. Her eyes are baby blue, and has a sweet, kind look. I'm really glad she stepped up for me, I don't think i could have managed by myself...
LOAN:"Come on Lisa, I'm not meaning to be rude, I'm a guy, that's just how i role."
He said this, keeping his eyes still on me, not once looking at her.
LISA:"Ok, first of all, what you just said made no sense, you cant grab someone's ass and say your not trying to be rude. Second, she is new, if you did want to greet her, you should have done it some other way. Now your never going to have a chance because your just a stuck-up jerk."
She said this without any hesitations, which leaves Loan a annoyed look on his face. He reverts his eyes to Lisa, then to the crowd that is watching us, which I didn't even notice. His face has a embarrassed/angry look, probably because he was just told off by a girl. He quickly walks away, disappearing into the crowd. Everyone watches him leave, then disperses, like nothing happened.
    I take a look at the girl, she seems very satisfied with herself.
BEVERLY:"Thank you.."
She turns to me with a tender look on her face.
LISA:"Don't mention it sweetie, no one ever stands up to Loan, I couldn't let him treat you like that..."
BEVERLY:" Its really kind of you, I don't think i could have managed without help..also, you really showed him what girl power is like."
I smile, then we both laugh.
LISA:"Well I'm glad I got to meet you, even if it was in a unpleasant way. Speaking of meeting someone, my names Lisa Parker."
BEVERLY:" Nice to meet you Lisa, I'm Beverly Manchester."
She gives me a hug and we start to walk.
BEVERLY:" you know, i thought this school was going to be a lot different, but its really cleaned up and nice, beside the guys..."
LISA:" I agree, when I first moved to Oleander High, i thought it was going to be one of those care free and ghetto schools, but I'm actually quite fond of it! Sure there are people I don't get along with, but there are also angels in this school, they are the people i hang out with the most, and I'm positive that you are one of those people too!"
I smile, my day just might be good after all.
LISA:" So, where is your locker?"
BEVERLY:" Oh right! I completely forgot what i was doing. I was looking for my locker, but the school is SO BIG and...."
LISA:"Its ok Beverly! There is no need to get worried, i can help you, i know this school like the back of my hand, plus it will give us more time to chat before class."
BEVERLY:" seriously Lisa, your too nice."
LISA:"That's a good thing right?"
BEVERLY:"Well duh.."
LISA:"Hahaha, well I'm glad. So what's your locker number?"
BEVERLY:"167"
LISA:" well sweetie... that's so easy to find, its literally behind you."
She said this in a sweet and soft tone then smiled.
BEVERLY:"Wow! I'm such an idiot. Now we don't get to talk."
LISA:"Nonsense! You saved us time. Now put up your things, grab your book and lets go to the commons. I would love to introduce you to one of my closest friends."
BEVERLY:"Sounds great! I'd love to meet someone new."
We walk to the commons with very little time to spare, and spot a girl sitting by herself on one of the couches. She is reading a book on what seems to be about "The History of Witches." Thats an interesting topic, I've always been fascinated about mythology. Lisa, who is in front of me, stops and sits down beside her. They hug and exchange a few words before she introduces me.
LISA:"Sarah, this is Beverly, Beverly this is Sarah. Beverly is new to the school and I happened to meet her by defending her against Loan."
Sarahs eyes go from Lisa's to mine looking quite aghast.
SARAH:" Loan already is bothering you! Oh my Beverly I'm so sorry, no one should have to put up with that, especially on the first day."
BEVERLY:" Yeah it startled me some, but Lisa was there to save me and now we're friends. And i hope we can be too!'
SARAH:" Of course you can, any one as sweet and beautiful as you can definitely be my friend!"
Lisa pitches in.
LISA:" I agree! So Beverly, who's class do you have first?"
BEVERLY:"Uh..I think i have English with Miss.Beesley."
LISA:"Well that's great!"
Lisa said smiling brightly, as Well as Sarah.
SARAH:"Yeah, Lisa and i have the same class, we can all sit together!"
BEVERLY:"Sounds like a plan! I'm so happy i got to meet you guys and have you as friends, i was sure i would be alone for at least a week.."
LISA:"No way! Us girls have to stick together, even if we haven't met each other." I'm sure that if you weren't picked on my Loan, we still would have been friends straight away!"
    I have never met anyone in the entire world as sweet as these two. Although i basically just met them, i feel like I've known them forever. We talk so calmly, and confidently, nothing is weird between us, and you can tell that they're not fake friends, like the ones in Mean Girls.
    As we continue to chat, the bell rings. People get up and go there separate ways. A guy walks by me, brushing my shoulder, i turn around and look at him. He has long black hair,which sort-of covers his face, jeans, a white shirt, and a black leather jacket. My eyes meet with his, they are icy blue and filled with determination. He stares at me for a good ten seconds before a light smile comes across his face, he then turns around, not looking back, and leaves. I look at my friends once more, and see a smirk slapped on their face.
BEVERLY:"What?"
LISA:"That's Colin, he's the heavy metal hottie of school: and for him, the way he smiled at you, that is NOT something you see everyday. He must think your really cute... you should totally hook up with him."
SARAH:"Lisa, you cant tell someone to hook up with another when all they did was smile. She just got here, let her relax first."
LISA:"You never let me help people, she has a chance..."
SARAH:"Its too soon for that, let her enjoy being guy free."
BEVERLY:"Guys its ok, I wasn't that interested anyway. Now lets get to class."
LISA:"Yes mam!"
We all laugh hysterically, then head for English. Once in the classroom we take our seats. The only seats left are two in the front and one in the back.
SARAH:" looks like we are going to have to split.."
Sarah said this sad but partially confused.
BEVERLY:" you guys can sit in the front, ill take the seat in the back."
LISA:"What! No, i cant let you do that."
BEVERLY:"Seriously, its ok, i insist. Plus I don't really want the attention, so it works out."
LISA:"If that's what you want.."
    They both look disappointed , and i am too, but this is what i get for chatting. I walk down to my seat, and notice a really cute guy sitting next to my desk. He has messy dark brown hair, his eyes are hazel and fierce, like those of a lion: his skin is golden and tan, and his face is those of an angels. After sitting down, he looks at me smiling.
MATT:"Hey."
BEVERLY:"Hello."
I'm getting nervous.
MATT:"Your new to this school, right?"
BEVERLY:"Yes i am.."
MATT:" well, my names Matt, I always like meeting the new people."
He leans in and hugs me tightly. I'm surprised of his gesture.
BEVERLY:"I...uh... I'm Beverly."
MATT:"Its a pleaser to meet you Miss.Beverly...so..uh..how are you liking it here so far?"
BEVERLY:"It was nice at first, but then some jerk named Loan assaulted me."
His face tenses up, and he looks away for a second before locking eyes with me again.
MATT:"Man. I never really liked Loan, he doesn't have any respect. He just wants to have the reputation of a bad boy, one that can get whatever he wants.."
He looks at me tenderly.
MATT:"A girl should be treated like a princes, like a angel...treated with love and gentleness. Like you."
I can feel myself blush. He's so sweet.. he suddenly realized what he just said, and looks forward.
MATT:"I..I mean, he shouldn't have done that, i know Loan.. he can be a real son of a bitch sometimes. Your too delicate to be handled like that."
    I'm sure I'm as red as a tomato right now. He talked to me for the most of the class, but the teacher got on to us.He did most of the talking, i just listened. Matt is really funny, he made like six jokes in a row, when people do that, it gets really annoying, but i could listen to him all day. I can tell we are going to be the best of friends... its just so easy to get distracted by him, he's a total goof ball, but that's something we both have in common.
    The bell rings to dismiss us, and everybody heads out the door.Lisa and Sarah said goodbye to me, and went to their different classes. Matt and I are the only ones left gathering our things.
MATT;"It was a pleasure having sit next to you madam."
He said this in a playful way, i play along.
BEVERLY:"And to you as well good sir!"
We both laugh before he pulls me towards him to hug me.
MATT:" See you at lunch then?"
BEVERLY:"Definitely."
MATT:"Good."
He has a very broad and wide smile, I'm sure i do too. He picks everything up, and heads for the door. I watch him leave, he swings his leather jacket over his shoulder and walk away. My day just got a whole lot better, i wonder what ill tell the girls? Everything most likely... after that, i walk out of the room and head for my next class.
