Making Teenage Memories

Chapter 1

"Beep Beep Beep Beep"

I moan and turn off my alarm. I slip on my fuzzy slippers and walk into the bathroom while rubbing the sleep off my eyes.

I am so tired I could barely pick up my toothbrush. It takes me a whole 3 minutes just to brush my teeth!

After I finish, I wash my face and it instantly woke me up. I dry my face and opened the medicine cabinet. I grab my hot pink makeup bag and wince at the sight. Looking at the bright color of the hot pink bag burns my eyes so I have to open it with my eyes nearly closed.

I take out the mascara and start to lather it on my eyelashes. I bulge out my eyes to make sure it's not messy. I throw the mascara back into the bag then put it back into the cabinet.

I walk back into my room and go straight to the closet. For a few minutes, I pounder at which color uniform I should wear today. Eventually I decide on the maroon polo shirt and khaki shorts. I quickly get dressed and spray myself with Vera Wang perfume. I walk over to my dresser and turn on my curling iron.

My stomach starts to rumble which reminds me that I haven't had breakfast yet. I walk downstairs to the kitchen and open the fridge and freezer. What! There's nothing in here! No eggs, no waffles, no milk, nothing! There isn't even Orange juice! Ugh why does my mom wait until we have nothing to go grocery shopping. I walk out of the kitchen and go back to my room. I guess I will just go get breakfast at McDonald's before I go to school.

As I turn into my room I remembered that I turned on the curling iron. I run over to it and immediately took it off the dresser. I wrapped two strands of my hair around the iron and then pinned them to the back of my hair. While turning off iron I grabbed a white bow and pinned it to the back of my hair.

I grab my brown fringed bag and my keys and start to walk downstairs. Its kind of lonely now that I drive. My parents don't get up until they have to wake up my little brother and sisters. I miss them making breakfast for me. I miss them saying "have a good day!", and "have fun with your friends after school".

I walk to my car and closed the door. As I turn the key to start the car I look at the time.

"7:00! What! I haven't even got my breakfast yet! " I panicked. I hit the petal trying to get to McDonald's as fast as I can. I turn into the drive through and order a big breakfast with hot chocolate. Luckily for me they gave me my breakfast fast. I look over at my car clock and see it's 7:10! Oh no! Five more minutes until school starts! As I turn into the school I see it's 7:16. Ugh! That means I have to now go into the office to get a late pass.

I open the big glass doors to the office and walk over to the attendance desk. As soon as I turn the corner I see the most longest line of students that are late! I couldn't believe my eyes. There were about 35 kids waiting to get a tardy pass.

"Are you kidding me!? This is ridiculous. Can't I just go to class without a pass?" I whine out loud.

"I know right" I hear someone behind me say.

The voice sounds familiar but I can't make out who it is. I turn around and my eyes go from half open to bulging out of my eye sockets. Standing right behind me was PETER SANCHEZ!!

Let me tell you a little bit about Peter: he is like the type of guy who you dream about when your asleep, the perfect facial features, perfect smile, amazing body structure, and the the most amazing personality. I have had a crush on Peter since freshmen year when I first met him. He was assigned to sit right next to me and he was just so nice. We sat next to each other for the first week of school until he got a schedule change and I never had a class with him again.

"Hey," he says while smiling

"Hi," I squeak. I get so nervous that my voice always comes out high pitched. It's so annoying.

"Wait a minute, aren't you Katie"

"Umm, yeah, and your Peter right?" Omg! Omg! I am freaking out! He remembers me!

"Yeah, I haven't seen you since freshman year! How have you been?" His dimples get deeper and he gets cuter by the minute.

"I've been.."

"Can you move up I have to get to class!" This girl with greasy black hair and dark eyeliner yells cutting me off.

"Oh, sorry." I apologize and turn seeing that there is a humongous space between me and the person that was in front of me.

I quickly walk to close the gap and now there is only one person in front of me before I get my tardy pass.

"Well she was a little rude," Peter whispers in my ear and I smile.

Right as I go to respond the attendance person calls next and I go up to the counter and place my breakfast on top of it. I give her my name and first hour teacher and wait. After waiting for only what felt like 5 seconds, I grab the pass and walk to class.

As soon as I open the door to exit the office I remember that I forgot to say bye to Peter. Why, Why,Why!? He must think I am a jerk. How can I be so rude?

"Katie!" I hear Peter yell. I whip around and see him jogging toward me.
