I know, you're probably thinking " not another teenage love story" yes I know. This story is different though. I know you've heard that too, but every event I describe is absolutely true. This story follows my freshman year in high school. All the events, the conversations, the fights, the arguments really happened.
I'm writing this because as a junior I think that reflecting on situations brings new things to the light. Disclaimer: This story is not primarily focused on love but, mainly friendship and finding those who compliment you in the best way.
Names will be changed for the sake of privacy, because I'm going to keep this completely honest. All the thoughts that I had ,and still have in some cases, will be true.
Throughout this very short story I will highlight the struggles for freshmen, distinguishing between real friends and fake friends and, lastly how to stay true to who you are. This is in no way a guide to high school, it is a mere reflective entry that is based around the life of a student.
Now that that is out of the way, to the real description. :)
Brief expert
Well, today is the day that thought played through my head as i walked down the hall to the front door. Today I start something new with people I don't know. What is they don't like me? What if I cant find my classes then I'll be late and have to sit in the front of the classroom. These thoughts poured through me as my mother drove me to the place that would be my prison for the next nine and a half months.
Rogan High, home of the Falcons. I didn't go to back to school night, so I didn't know what to expect.
I checked my schedule again:
Honors World History with Laurence Hanover
Spanish 1 with Jamie Williams
Honors Earth and Environmental Science with Kayla Hanover
Math 1 with Kacey Elzenbeck
<AN: This is true but I cant remember my math teacher's first name. she was a fill in who then became a real teacher.>
Great, Math the last class of the day. That is just what I needed. Everything else seemed okay though.
I didn't realize how deep in thought I was until my mother jabbed me in the ribs. " Are you just gonna sit there, you know we've been through this. you are gonna be okay just breath. Its the first day just have fun. Don't get in trouble you know I work three miles away. I'll be here so quick you're head will spin."
<Fast Forward to Before First Class>
Okay this isn't so bad, I'm walking down the hallway looking at the room numbers when all of a sudden this mop of blonde hair cuts me off.
"Um, excuse you. All this hallway and you re just gonna cut me off like that. You better be lucky I went to church yesterday" as soon as the words left my mouth he turned around.
Oh, wow he is really hot, wait I know that face. What kind of name goes with a face like that? Hold on it's coming to me. Casey? No i think that's a little too jock. Jace? No too bad boy. Gus? Too preppy.
"actually my middle name is Gus, koko. It saddens me that you don't remember me.I mean middle school was pretty eventful. But to not remember me? That is so not realistic. Yes you did say that out loud" he finished with that stupid smirk that made my heart skip a beat.
I'd know that voice anywhere. He changed a little. He is taller now, he has a little bit of stubble, and his pale skins seems to me even more silky than I remember.I realize who I'm talking too and snap out of my weird thoughts
"What a surprise Trent. so nice to see you, still being racist? anyway cant talk now gotta catch my first class." and with that I walked off.Not like how you see in the movies with all the dramatic hair flipping. no i had like five steps until i reached my class , so I skipped like the wierdo I am.
"Nice of you to join us, I'm glad the bell hasn't sounded because you would have been late on your first day." Wait a second that was a lady voice.
I turned around slowly and looked at the middle aged woman that stood in front of the class
"Laurence, you're a lady. Or am I pronouncing it wrong? Is it french and pronounced Lauren with a silent Ce?." After saying that the class broke out in laughter. Not the boisterous kind just the "she obviously is just joking" kind.
"Very funny,thank you for entertaining the class, now take your seat." she said and started to round up papers. the seat I chose was one to the far left two up from the teachers desk.
then a loud shrill went off and one of the student to the left of the room closed the door.
I turned my attentio to the front of the class where lady Laurence was speaking.
"Good morning everyone, I am in fact not your teacher as was so kindly said by ah whats your name. she raised an eyebrow" the whole class turned.
"Jacora, but you can call me koko"
So that was a little bit of the first chapter.
Description-
Koko has just started high school. Will she survive freshmen drag day? Will she settle all the disputes? Will seh forgive those who have wronged her? One in particular, will she forget his wrongs and pursue a relationship?
Everything is changing. The need to fit in is very heavy. Is there a happy ending to a story that wont be completed for four years. Is high school really that bad?
Read to find out.
<AN: Whew that was a lot to write in one sitting. I don't know HOW you other authors do it. Anyway thank you for taking the time to read this. Maybe I will extend this idea, seeing as I am a junior now i can write what happened during my sophomore year. Honestly Sophomore year was more interesting than freshman year. So MAYBE if I get a little response I can keep IPF going until I graduate. Who knows? All I know is that I want some Oreos right now. Anyway please continue to read the official first chapter will be up soon. I honestly can't tell you when. Because this weekend I will be with on of my friends from this story. Then next week My mom Is on a Buisnees Trip so I am staying with family. Then when she gets back School starts. Since I'm taking AP and Honors this year uploads may be irregular, but I promise ( lol I didn't even realize) that all uploads will be long because of the wait. I decided to use my real name and the names of my teachers to make it more practical on my end. I can try to link pictures of character look alikes if it is requested. I also promise ( again! I swear it isn't planned) that no other AN will be this long. I just want to give you the basics. Anyway enjoy If you so choose to read, which you should, thanks LOTS OF LOVE. Oh wait, There WILL be errors. I do spell check, but it doesn't automaticall capitalize, so just understand that not everything will be capitalized. thaanks! I love yah. Read on While I eat sime Oreos.
----------KOKO----------
