High School Stories

Chapter 1

Haley

"Hey! New girl! I'm supposed to give you a tour of the school. Can you speedwalk."

A very impatient voice spoke. Looking up from the concrete floor of the campus which was very interesting for some odd reason, I was met with brown eyes. Her long hair was tied in a ponytail. Wearing pink skirt falling just above her feet and a black crop top, she looked stunning.

I quickly jogged to her. Obviously, not wanting to anger her more.

"Hi, I'm-" I was cut off by her. How rude!

"I know, Haley Valentina Rose. Not many people are able to get in Silverwood Academy. Especially through scholarship. Cool! The entire school is buzzing with gossips. Let's get you your schedule first." She said walking ahead of me.

It did take me some moments to understand everything she said but eventually I was following her.

"I'm not too popular around but I do know almost everyone. Stick with me and high school won't be that much of a survival plan."

Will she stop talking!?

"This is the office of Mrs. Johnson. She is the counselor and she has the responsibility of handing out schedules. She pretty cool at giving advice. Go to her if ya need anything." She knocked on the door twice.

"Yes dear, do come in." A sweet voice was auditable.

We entered inside. Mrs. Johnson looked like she must be in her late twenties. She smiled at us.

"Mrs. Martinez and you must be Haley Rose. Wait for a second dear."
She looked into her drawers, perhaps searching for my schedule. She handed it to me and even wrote a slip incase we will be late to our first lecture.

"Thanks Ma'am," Martinez said with a cheerful expression.

"So, Martinez. Where are we headed to." She stopped instantly.

"I'm called Alexis." She said and took the slip from my hands.

"First class is arts. I'm not in this class but my best friend is. Her name is Lauren O' Connell. Popular girl, Lauren. Straight brown hair and extraordinary eyes. I'll let her eyes be a secret. Then, there is Landon Rodriguez in arts. Handsome guy, dream girl never found. Chocolate brown eyes and similar colour hair, everyone basically drools over him and that includes me. You will be lucky if you get to sit with anyone of them. Now, what should we visit first? Cafeteria? Oh! Do you have your dorm keys?"

My dorm.

" Yeah. Actually I do." I said, tucking out a key with the number 223 written on it.

"Amazing! You are sharing room with Lauren. There is a possibility she is in the room. We both hang out together usually but she wasn't really feeling well yesterday. Maybe she will skip the first class. Not a problem, teachers know about it."

It seemed like someone has a bet with Alexis that she cannot talk continously. The person is definitely going to lose.

We used the key to open the door and we entered the room. It was spacious. Two beds at either corner. The room was two coloured. One side blue and the other side pink. The blue side was well organized. Two wardrobes on either sides. I'm assuming Lauren took the blue side.

"Lauren took the blue side and she isn't here."

"Yeah, I noticed." I simply replied.

"Okay. So let's go and visit the cafeteria, gym, library, etc."

End of thinking capacity.

I know.

She showed me the cafeteria which was quite huge. The library was a dream, large bookshelves and many books. The gym was huge as well. There were six grounds, each for different sports.

The bell rang and luckily, my sweet tour ended before that. I was already seated in my class. No need for introductions in this school. Students filled the classroom with their annoying presence.

"Hey? May I sit here?" Asked a sweet unfamiliar voice. I looked up to find, a girl with shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes.

"Sure." I replied.

"I'm Lauren. Lauren O'Connell. You must be Haley Valentina Rose."

Wow I've got a bunch of stalkers.

"So. I am."

There's nothing extraordinary about her eyes. Her skin and hair is good but nothing different about her eyes.

"Yeah. Nice to meet you." She said.

Wow! How formal! Someone has good brain cells.

"Likewise." I smiled.

"Hey Lauren! How are you hotness."

"You look sexy today."

"Damn!"

"Landon! Won't you say anything?"

"Well, your body looks appealing like always."

Lauren cringed from all the hooting from the last bench. I looked behind and met with a pair of chocolate brown eyes. He is Landon? He seems like a bastard!

"Go get a life boys!" She shouted back.

They laughed and continued hooting. It was clear that Lauren was irritated by their presence.

"Ignore them. They are just a bunch of people looking for someone they can get on bed with. Apparently, their bedsheets are not good enough." She rolled her eyes. I laughed at that.

"You clearly brighten a room, huh?" I questioned with a slight tease in my voice.

"Maybe. Who cares? But at times like this I wish I could leave the class screaming adios bitches."

We both laughed.

I will fit just fine.

Our teacher, Mr. Davidson entered the class.

"Alright. Let's get straight to work. You know my name and the purpose of being in this class. Your first assignment will be drawing your dream house. It can be anything. You can mix colours and the structure can be anything you like. Say, you like shoes, so, your house will be the shape of a shoe. Get to work people."

What a pain in the ass.

Everyone said a dull yes sir and got to business. I started drawing a mansion. Like I used to think when I was young. Maybe prince charming will come one day on his black horse. What? I want the white horse for myself and get me into a castle. Now, a castle won't be possible in modern world. A mansion will do for the time being. I glanced around the class and my eyes met with Landon's. He smirked and I glanced away.

On second thought, wondered, will high school really be as easy as Alexis says?
