The Ninjas Inside of Us

Chapter 2

I'm walking down my street to the public bus stop two blocks down, passing street lights that are starting to turn off due to the rising Sun. As I am walking by, a man jumps out of the bushes and scares the crap out of me. I couldn't hold in the shriek and it came out in a high-pitched girly scream.

"Haha, that really brings out the girly side of you," said Jake, my best friend since I came to this school in the seventh grade.

"You're an idiot," I said, punching him in the arm jokingly. We continued to walk to the bus stop and when he wasn't looking I snuck a glance at him. Ok, I admit it, I've had a crush on him ever since I first layed eyes on him. But what's not to like? He stands at 6'1, he has perfect teeth, flawless pale skin, light brown eyes with a prominent black circle around his iris, and long brown hair that hangs over his ears. He looks like your typical teenage movie star. No wonder every girl in the grade likes him. Which makes me like him even more because he chooses me over them.

"How is Max doing?" I asked. Max is my baby husky that Jake got for me a few months ago because he knew how much I adored them. He watches him for me since there is no way Mrs. Chester would let me keep a dog in the house.

"Good, just his usual playful self," he said. That made me smile.

We stood in the plastic box at the bus stop until we heard the bus rounding the corner. The two of us scanned our passes and sat down at our usual spots, the two seats behind the exit door in the middle of the bus. He pulled out his IPhone 4, handed me one of the headphones and we watched hilarious vines. I always love this, I never get tired of our usual morning routine.

Once we get to school, I have Phys Ed with Jake, great way to start off my day. I get into the changing room and change into our PE uniform, a shirt with an Eagle logo on it and black basketball shorts. It was hideous, but good for PE.

"Hey June, you know there is this thing called a push-up bra, you should try one some time," said Leila, a dumb blonde, laughing. Here, the girls are still mean to me, but I'm friends with most of the guys, which is better than having no friends at all. In my opinion, I like having guy friends because that means I don't have to listen to dumb drama. I ignore them and head out the locker room door, into the gym.

"Hey Junester, what's up?" Asked Kevin as I joined my group of friends. There was five of them. Jake, who you already know. Kevin, not much on the attractive side, but a jokester who made any one laugh, he also had the dirtiest mind ever. He was very heavy and short, he had black hair, tan skin, and crazy brown eyes. He always got in trouble for doing dumb things and smart talking the teachers all the time. Even though he had the shortest attention span he was a straight A student, don't ask me how. 

Then, there was Jonathan, he was a big computer geek. He was freakishly tall, but really skinny. He had curly brunette hair, big teeth, and bland green eyes. He was the fastest runner in the school and a star on the track team.

Next, there was Earl. He was a pretty average student. He was about 5'10 with ginger-brown hair. He has good teeth, but he has a bad posture. He has probably asked out every girl in the freshman grade. And for some reason, most of them say "yes."

Lastly, there was Colton. He had Crystal blue eyes, slightly tan skin, and a nice body. He was ripped and had a six pack. He was a big jock and was good at every sport he tried. He always gelled his thick blond hair up. He was pretty good looking and he could get any girl he wanted, but he hasn't dated anyone yet. He thinks girls would interfere with his sports. 

We were all so different, but we're the greatest of friends. Together, with smarts and athleticism we were unstoppable.

"Gossip girls! Go run 2 laps and get to the baseball field!" Yelled coach. I ran two laps and got to the field the same time as Jake, Colton and Jonathan beating us, obviously. We sat at the dusty baseball field for what felt like 10 minutes until everyone else got there.

"We have 17 students perfect for a game of baseball," Coach said,"Choose teams, team captains Leila and Jonathan."

The six of us ended up on the same team. Nobody is defeating us in this game. Leila batted first. She surprised me actually, she hit the ball. It came towards me, standing on first base. I caught the ball after it bounced. I felt the urge to run but she was running like a bear that just got shot with a tranquilizer dart. She ran so slow I walked to the base. I touched it.

"Out!" Shouted coach. Leila gave me the death glare.

"Leila," I said, she turned to listen to what I had to say,"Maybe you should try a push-down bra some time and maybe you would be able to run faster," I said with a smile.

"BURN!!!" Yelled Kevin. Everyone started laughing.

In the end we won like 12-0. It's always to hard to count when they fail that badly. We ran to the locker room were I hurried and changed to see Leila crying. This has been a good day... I thought.

"Listen to me June! Nothing is going to get in the way of me and Jake, I will have sex with him by the end of the month and nothing, not even you, is going to get in my way!" She exclaimed.

"I don't like him, he's all yours," I said so chill I could have convinced myself. I turned around and went through the door. I head into my second class, Algebra 2. I skipped two grades in math. I sit next to Kevin so this will be interesting. I get to my desk and look at my test that was sitting there "93". Could have done better... I thought. Kevin smashed his test in my face "A+ SUCKER!" he shouted.

I chuckled,"Okay, Okay," I said. The next to classes went by quickly, science and history.

At lunch, I sat next to Jake. We sat at our usual table, the one next to the trash can, so we didn't have to walk far to throw our trash away.

"Here," he said, handing me a Panini.

"Thank you, so much better than free cafeteria food," I said. The other four, Jonathan, Colton, Kevin, and Earl; sat on the other side of the table. I smelled the heavy perfume. Oh no... popular alert. I thought. From the corner of my eye I saw Leila and her two side kicks Gwen and Amanda (the twins), come our way. I saw the three blondes, their perfectly curled hair, make-up, and slutty clothes that showed off their big breasts and butts. They were doing there obvious butt-shake thing as they walked. I rolled my eyes as the approached. Leila put her arms and tray in between me and Jake. She took her hands off the tray and pushed me to the ground. I landed stomach first and my head hit my arm, thankfully. I got up and sat on the other side of the table.

"Well someone's on their period," said Kevin.

"Why the bitchy attitude?" Asked Colton.

"No reason, can I sit here?" She asked Jake with pleading eyes.

"No, just get the heck out of here," he said anger in his eyes. She sat down anyways. Jake put his head in his hands. Her two minions sat down to. She put her index finger on his chin and moved his eyes to her breasts. He moved his eyes to her face and looked at her like she just grew a third eye.

She put her hand on his thigh and started moving upwards. He started to sweat and you could see the uncomfort on his his face. She started circling her finger around his nuts and asked,"My place later?"

"I have plans, you slut," he said moving away from her. He shot her an angry look, his eyes darkened to almost black. She gave him the death glare.

"I'll go to your place!" Earl said raising his hand. I rolled my eyes at him. Leila gave him a disgusted look and walked away, her followers walking with her.

"You ok?" Jake asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine, what about you?" I asked.

"Really awkward," he said. He started laughing, "I probably looked like an idiot."

"Yeah you did," Jonathan said, laughing. We all laughed it off when the bell rang. We scrambled in a bunch of different directions and finished off the day with our last four periods.
