Is He The One?

Chapter 1: Fresh Morning Start

(Cathey on the side -->)

ERP! ERP! ERP! ERP! "Mmm, okay already." I mumble, but the words don't come out right, and sound like "Mmm, oh ray-dy." Damn, is it really the first day of school? Well, this summer went by quickly! Oh crap, I better hurry if I want to make it to school on time! I mean, I may be 17, but that doesn't mean I automatically get a ride, or a car for that matter.

"Man, why is that stupid alarm is still going off!?" I question with grumble before hitting the off button. Time to get up Cate, I tell myself. I roll off the bed, and walk to my bathroom to take a quick shower. I hesitate before turning the foscit on, and get under the water. The warm water of the shower usually makes me tense, but today, it seems calming to my nerves. I begin to grab the body wash and wash away any stress I have. God, I wonder if I'll meet anyone this year, seems I haven't felt that way about anybody in a long time. I wince as the thought courses through my brain, being washed away by the intoxicating aroma of mango and lime.

As I dry myself, I take a quick glance at the girl in front of me. She's got olive colored skin, with big brown/green eyes, and red drenched curls. She has rosey cheeks, and luscious, pink lips. I see curiosity in her eyes as she gazes back at me. I don't see me, but I do see a stranger... someone who I don't know as gorgeous, but as hideous. I see myself in the shadow of the girl I see in front of my face.

You are a descrace, why would you think you're so wrong when it comes to looks?

Well, first off, I don't seem to attrack guys, I seem to only push them away!

They're just too scared to talk to you because you're beautiful!

Oh, shut up, will you!

You do realize you're telling yourself to shut up, right?

Ugh! Forget it! I seriously need to stop that, it's becoming a pain to deal with. I walk out of my bathroom feeling exasperated, and walk rather quickly to my room. When I get there, I close the door and lock it.

"Hmm, what to wear. What to wear." I say as I reach into my closet for some dresses, skirts, and shirts to lay them on my bed. I end up going with a black skirt that stops mid-thei with white and yellow sun flowers, and a yellow t-shirt that says, "Shine with all your heart!" Once I'm dressed, I hurriedly grab my back pack, along with my books, and head straight for the stairs. On the way down, I bump into my mom, and she begins to do her daily "interrogation".

"Morning sweetheart, how'd you sleep? It's your first day back, isn't it?" You see what I mean? She's a cop, so it's like I can't get away with anything!

"Morning Mom, and yes. It's the first day back... Unfortunately." I mumble the last part so she won't hear.

Great excuse, Einstein!

Hey, leave me alone. I don't see you doing any better!

At least I would've done a better job than you!

You mean me?

No, I! Or we, you get the point dumbo!

Ugh, I'm so done with this! I need to stop talking to myself!!

"Okay then, I'll see you when you get home, love you!" She shouted as I ran past her and out the door with my things, falling out of the trance I got myself into.

"Love you too, bye!" I yell, just as I'm about to leave. I swear, if I had waited any longer to "chat" as Mom says, I would be in detention for tardiness. Fortunately, my friend Heather came to give me a ride in the new BMW she got for her 18th birthday. For some reason, I don't get anything nice in my life... that is, until I got to Elmer High, and met someone in particular.
