Chapter 1
With butterflies in my stomach, I walked into the new school I would be attending. Students storm into the halls; all of them tan and… well… beautiful. The girls were all wearing cut off shirts and skirts with their hair perfectly curled and their faces smeared with make-up giving me , a pale skinny blonde that is not all girly but more relaxed, no freaking chance at the boys at this school who , I should mention, look like a bunch of male models. I already had no chance of making it at this high school… lovely.
Suddenly the realization that I had no clue where I was going hit me and I stopped in the middle of the hallway, which made a group of about 10 girls bump into me and they all stared at me. If looks could kill I would already be six feet under, but like the little badass I am, I gave them the cheesiest smile and waved. The ring leader of the group, a tall blonde wearing a crop top and a mini skirt, shot me the death look and I froze. She held her stare at me for awhile then laughed and walked away.
After my heart beat returned to normal, I scanned the hall like a lion searching for prey when I saw a tall guy at his locker. He wasn’t as hot as some of the guys here, but he definitely was fun to look at. He was grabbing his books when this douche bag jock smacked the books out of his hands and ran down the hall screaming, “Loser!” I then decided that he would become my best friend. I quickly walked over to where he was and grabbed his books up. He gave me a strange look and I started to blush. I stood up and he immediately started to analyze me.
“Well you are definitely not from around here. Where are you from?” He said taking his books from my hands.
“I’m from good old Nebraska…how could you tell I wasn’t from here? This school is huge and school just started.” I quickly looked down at my outfit a little embarrassed; I was wearing a coral slightly cropped shirt, jean shorts, white tennis shoes, my hair in a loose kind of curly pony tail, and a tad of make-up. I thought I looked pretty good.
“Well first off “Nebraska” we started two weeks ago, second your face isn’t caked with make-up and you aren’t orange, and third I could…well I could just tell.” He rubbed the back of his neck looking awkward.
“Okay, well, Hi I’m Jessica… you’re new best friend. It’s official, so don’t try to fight it.” I gave a cute playful laugh. ”So as my new best friend your job is to direct me to my math class.” I handed him my schedule.
“As long as we are official...” He smiled and took my schedule. His baby blue eyes scanned the paper as he processed what he was reading. My mystery best friend had messy brown and was nicely built. He wore a navy blue “V” neck T-shirt and jeans. Laughter flowed out of his mouth and he shook his head. His eyes looked up and locked with mine. “While what you know Nebraska looks like we have most of the same classes together. This is the way to math.”
He turned his back and started walking down this narrow hallway and turned right into one of the first classrooms. We walked into class together and slowly made our way in back. He started explaining to me that Mr. Thomas was a completely asshole when this hot tall guy walked into class. He had blonde hair and he was wearing red T-shirt and jeans. By chance we made eye contact and he gave me a cute little smile. The seat next to me was open and he sat down.
“Hello there. I’m Ryan and it’s a pleasure to me you.” Ryan said as he extended his hand for me to shake.
“Hi I’m Jessica. It’s nice to meet you too.” I blushed as we shook hands. His brown eyes kept a lock on mine and after awhile I turned being a little embarrassed when I saw the ringleader of the girl “mafia” I ran into earlier. She was sitting across the room and she was making direct eye contact with me. I could feel the hate from her glaze… just fucking great.
“Hey, ignore Rebecca,” Ryan tapped my shoulder when he realized she was staring at me,” she has had a huge crush on me, but nothing has every happened. She probably sees you as threat since you are beaut—“
“Oh my god! Who do we have here!!?” A high pitched whiney voice interrupted Ryan. I turned my head slowly away to see this paper thin girl with shinny blonde straight hair standing in front of me.”Oh my god like toats sorry! I’m Jonna and you are like uber pretty, so Rebecca and they rest of the group would like it if you joined us! There is this party at Rebecca’s house this Friday at 6. Here is the special invite! See you there!” Jonna dropped the invitation on my desk and ran to sit by a slightly less angry Rebecca.
“Oh shit Nebraska you just got an invitation to their gang!” My best friend imitated Jonna’s annoying voice.
“Oh shut the fuck up Josh,” Ryan leaned on my desk to talk to Josh, “You know they have some kick ass parties.” Ryan leaned back and turned to me,” They get really good drinks and they have super nice beach houses. They call themselves Beach Blondes because they have killer parties on the beach and they only let hot blondes into their “club”. You should consider joining they always have their first meeting, this Friday, then after that next Saturday they throw a huge party and the best part… I will be there.” Ryan gave me a wink just as Mr. Thomas started to teach class.
I stared to space of whether or not I should join the “Beach Blondes” when the bell rang and class was already over. I turned to Josh would had already started to write on a postage note what the assignment was and when he handed it to me; I saw that he had also wrote his number. “I could tell that you wore totally spacing out. Call me tonight and I will help you.” Josh grabbed his backpack and started to get up.
I followed his lead and started to smile, “Thank you so mu-,”
“Shut up Nebraska and follow me to your next class.” Josh playfully interrupted me, heading for the front of the class. I followed him when I remembered Ryan, so turned to him and yelled bye then continued to walk with Josh.
