The Klutz

Chapter one: Welcome to Asdfghjkl

"Twelve more miles pumpkin," my dad called to the back seat.

I opened my eyes groggily. Finally I think. Twelve more miles. We've been in the car for almost completely two days and it's been miserable let me tell you when you're as klutzy as I am it's not the best thing. In the motel and having to get up in the middle of the night to pee can be tricky especially when you run into everything. Or when you stop at a gas station and try to get something off the top shelf of the little convenience store. Or when you get back in the car and you forget about that curb you have to step over or how hot the seat belt is. Yup. Klutzy Constance that's me.

Constance T. Everett worlds biggest klutz. After I feel my relief of how were finally almost there. My eyes pop open. It's so green! I look through every window in the car and I see I am absolutely surrounded by green grass and trees. I see the sign coming up for the city I'm in. I have no idea how to say that not even in my head. So were just gonna call the small town I live in Asdfghjkl at least it starts with an A.

I'm so excited for this new town. A fresh new start from the big city of Los Angelos. I look towards the front seat. I think my dads happy too. I can see his bald head shining and his unshaved scruffy beard has a small smile on it. I look towards the passenger seat and see my brother Justin.

Justin is just a year older than me and how do I put this probably the coolest kid on any block. He was the cool kid/bad boy in L.A. and I'm sure he'll be in this town too. He may be the cool kid and I would like to say were just the same but actually were complete opposites. I am completely shy. I've had one boyfriend my entire life but I don't think you could even count that as a boyfriend because it was kindergarten. Where as Justin throws away girls hearts like they're pieces of tissue which I get mad at him for.

I look at him and he's fast asleep in the passengers seat. I think of a brilliant idea. I'll scare him to wake him up. I take a drink of water to get myself prepped then I go into the next seat and lean my head forward so it's right by his ear.

And then I yell,"JUSTIN!" And his eyes pop open.

He screams,"Ah!"

Which then scares me back so I yell,"Ah!" And spill my water all over his shoulder.

"Constance!" He says exasperated.

"Sorry," I mumble to him.

"Ugh you're such a klutz sometimes,"he says and then starts to go back to sleep.

"I wouldn't go to sleep just yet," he says,"we're here."

I look up were in a small town now. It's still green but there's sidewalks and buildings and streets now. I look up at my new home. This apartment is pretty nice. There's about five floors in it.

We all carry our luggage inside, grab our key and walk up the five flights of stairs to our complex. It's easy enough just walking for Justin and I. But my dad is every bit worn out from it. 7D is our apartment number. Dad turns the key and we walk inside it's a small apartment. There's a small kitchen a small tiny living room, one extremely small bathroom, and two tiny bedrooms.

"Dad.....," Justin says,"There's three bedrooms right?"

"Well,no," Dad responds," You and you're sister are sharing."

"Dad no. I don't want to share with the klutz," he says annoyed.

Great I don't want to share with Justin either. "Yeah Dad come on can't Justin sleep in the bathtub," I say snidely. Justin gives me a dangerous look.

"No you guys are sharing no argument," he says.

And that was that.

*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•

A few hours later we got a knock on the door. I answered it as a very perky blonde girl stood outside the door.

"Hi!" She said happily,"I'm Phoebe I live across the hall from you guys. My mom told me to bring this to you," she said and handed me a pan with plastic wrap over it.

"It's a cheese casarolle. My mom made it,"she said excitedly.

She was so nice. I couldn't believe it.

"Well thank you," I said and reached my hand from the glass pan. I don't even know how I did this. But as I took my hand off the pan a piece of glass just came off with it. I stood there speechless.

"Um sorry,"I said.

"No worries glass pans can do that sometimes," she said still in her cheerful mood.

I took the glass off my hand and reached out a hand to her. "Thanks," I said, "I'm Constance."

"Nice to meet you," she said,"are you going to start Asdfghjkl High School?"

I nod in reply. "Yup, I start tomorrow," I reply.

"Ooooo,"she claps in reply,"you should come over! I can show you my yearbook so you can know who everyone is. Most everyone still goes there!"

"Okay," I say.

"Dad!" I yell," I'll be across the hall if you need anything!"

I walk across the hall with Phoebe. I notice she's wearing a white spring dress and her blonde hair is tied up in a ponytail with a white ribbon.

"I love your ribbon," I say to her.

"Oh really? Thanks. I don't really like it that much you can have it," and she just takes it off and hands it to me. At first I don't know what to say.

"Thanks," is all I can think to say.

"No problem," she says.

We go into her apartment and go into her room. Most everything in it is white and lavender. It was actually really pretty. I see her pull something from her closet.

"Here it is," she say and opens her yearbook.

"Now see this is Mr. Carter the music teacher don't cross him he takes music very seriously," she says.

"Oh and this is Jean McClain the schools Queen Bee. Definitely stay away from her she can be mean," she says.

"Ooo and this is probably the hottest teen alive. Mark Atlin," this time she says blushing.

She was not exaggerating. He was hot! He had a strong jaw longish brown hair that went barely over his eyebrow. Tan skin and gorgeous blue eyes. Mark Atlin I think to myself. I'll definitely remember you.
