My Very Own Love Story (a high school romance) (on hold)

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

It was the night we had met. We were at the lake laying down while looking up at the starts and talking. It was kind of romantic but I quickly threw that thought away. It was impossible and kind of dumb to think that he would ever like me more than a friend. I mean he was hot and could probably have anyone he wanted so why would he want me just some weird girl. All of a sudden I saw a chicken... Wait what the hell? There was definitely not a chicken there that night, so what was it doing there this time? It opened its beak and started screeching.

I woke up to my alarm going off. God I seriously hate that thing! I hated waking up in the mornings, I'm more of a night person. I slammed the off button and looked to see what time it was 5:33. I decided I’d just close my eyes for a second longer.... what felt like two seconds turned out to be thirty minutes. If it hadn’t been for my dad maybe I would’ve woken up late and missed the bus. I had approximately 20 minutes before breakfast so I rushed to the bathroom and jumped in the shower. After that I brushed my teeth and put my contacts in. When I was done I went back to my room to pick out my first day outfit. I stood there for a few minutes deciding what to wear. Eventually I went with my black low cut shirt cause it had a picture of a zebra on it, a pair of light wash shorts and my grey vans with pink laces. I spritzed on some vanilla body spray, grabbed my gold Kathy bag, and went to get on the bus. Once I was on I got a back seat, cranked my ipod and closed my eyes. I was starting to feel first day jitters and thinking about all the hot older guys... uhm I mean new friends I could meet. After about ten minutes I heard screams and felt something connect with my arm.

“OUCH! WHO EVER THE H-” I started to yell then saw my bus driver look up at me so I ended with “HULK JUST HIT ME IMMA UHM.... HUG THEM?” I said again looking up.

“Bring it bitch!” I heard a voice I know all too well whisper. That voice could belong to none other than my best friend Kassidy.

“Oh you better watch it or I’ll have my dad spray you!” I said and we both laughed. Remembering the last time she spent the night at my house.

Gosh it felt good to do that. Something I hadn’t done in a while since I was grounded for an entire month. (Long story short I had a cell phone when I wasn’t supposed to and my aunt found out about it and she told my dad who then grounded me.) I turned my music back up and began to listen to it again. Pretty soon I was woken up to find I was at school. It was my first day of high school and I was pretty excited. I’d waited for this forever. Finally I had some freedoms. We got off the bus and found out that the bell was about to ring. I went to my locker and realized I had already forgot my combination. Great just fucking perfect I thought. I headed to guidance where they wrote it down for me. I went to my locker and had some troubles getting it opened. The bell rang and eventually I was the only one in the hall. I still couldn’t open it. Another few minutes of failure passed and I saw a kid heading out of Guidance.

“Hey!” I said. He kept walking. “HEY! YOU IN THE BLUE SHIRT!” I yelled. Yeah that got his attention, he stopped and stood there looking at me dumbfounded. “Well don’t just stand there looking like an idiot, get your ass over here and help me open this locker”. He still just stood there so I figured a little politeness never killed anyone. “Please.” I said. That worked, he walked over and started to open it for me. “So you turn it to the right passing zero three times and then land on the first number which is....?”

“Ten” I answered.

“Ok so once you get to ten you go to the left twice. You pass your first number and on the second time around you land on the second number which i-”

“Twenty-six, the last number is uhm...” I looked down at the sticky note “zero” I answered. I heard a click and my locker opened. “Thanks so much!” I said getting my stuff. I then ran to advisory which for me was in the library. Not even two minutes after I got there the bell rang but the teacher didn’t say anything. That was my first class anyway so it was all good. Study hall was pretty boring nothing much to do because well it was the first day and the first class so with no work you can only really listen to music. After the bell rang signaling break I headed out to find Kassidy, and Halia I found them all waiting for me at my locker, gosh didn’t that make me feel happy.

“Hey guys! One of you wanna be loved forever?” I asked with a smile on my face.

“What now?” Halia asked.

“Well... I kinda don’t know how to open my locker and...” I began handing her my combination. Of course she could open it, It seemed I was the only one that couldn’t! Once she opened it, I threw my laptop in and headed off towards the cafeteria. I got my food and looked for a table.

“Ooh lets go sit with my friend Kevin” Halia said. I didn’t know who the hell Kevin was but I decided what ever I might as well make some new friends right? We went over and sat down. I can be shy around people sometimes so I didn’t talk much. After a while of awkward silence Halia decided to introduce everyone.

“Kevin you know Kassidy. Well this is Jackalin my other friend. She’s a freshman too.” Turns out that I’d seen Kevin a couple of times, but I’d never really remembered his name.

“Hey” He said.

I replied with a simple hi, then went back to eating my breakfast. Pretty soon the bell rang and I headed out and to my next class. Which was American Government room 207. I walked into class and sat down in the back. I really hate sitting up front because then people can look at my back which is kinda just weird and I don’t like that feeling. There was a man whom I guessed to be the teacher. He looked to be in his sixties or seventies.

“Hello my name is Mr. Simoneau.” He began.

He talked for most of the class which got pretty boring. All though I did learn that he was in Vietnam, but only as a weather man. I looked around and saw a few of my friends. There was also a senior named Linda who was an exchange student, and a junior named Trevan, he was pretty cute and really tall. Well of course he was tall to me, since I’m about 5’ 1” it doesn’t take that much to be taller than me. Pretty soon the bell rang which means I must have zoned out completely since class is eighty minutes. I completely zoned out of my next class and then heard the bell for lunch. Kassidy had lunch with me, same with my friends Bri and Chelsey. We sat at our own table and talked the whole time. After lunch I headed to my locker. The rest of the student body was also switching classes so I decided to go looking for one of my other best friends Jasey. We have known each other since seventh grade and I’ve always thought she was a pretty freaking amazing friend.

“JASEY!!!!!” I yelled all excitedly.

“JACKALIN!!!” She yelled back.

“Are we gonna have lunch together ever? It was pretty boring without you today.” I said looking all sad like.

“Uhm I don’t think so Jackalin cause I have 1st lunch on White days and 2nd lunch on Orange days and you have the exact opposite lunch schedule, sorry!” She answered.

“Oh its okay I guess, well hey I gotta get headed to french where are you going?” I asked.

“Your not going to believe it, but I have french too!” She told me excitedly.

Suddenly I was feeling a little better because at least I had one class with her right? We both ran off to french happy that we didn’t need to take spanish anymore. Our old teacher completely ruined that language for us. In class we sat next to each other and talked about how our summers had been. Once the bell rang we practically ran to our lockers excited to get home. I was pretty tired and was happy that I had made a new friend today and couldn’t wait to tell my dad.
