See You at Hazel Forest

Chapter 1: Carter

I took a deep breath, and stepped through the doors of h*ll. Also known as Willams High School. It was the first day of school, and I was a senior, along with my best friend, Teagan Reed. "2005... 2005" I thought in my head, trying to remember my locker number. I soon found a rusty and crusty locker labeled 2005. Of course, I always get the rusty ones. Now, trying to remember my combo, I turned the lock knob. Twist. 35, twist. 5, twist. 19. Just as I was about to open my locker, someone walked up to me. Orange Vans and galaxy print backpack (both the same as mine), and cute crop top and shorts. Teagan! "Hey Carter!" She said. "Having trouble?" She pointed to my locker, as I shook my head no. I took out my books and pencil pouch, and Teagan and I strolled down the hall. "Guess what!" I tell Teagan. "Daniel Lancaster likes you!" Teagan's face lit up. "How would you know, though-" She started saying, but soon made a face of realization. "Oh, yea. That's right... sometimes I forgot about the whole mind reading thing." We both laughed and continued the conversation about Daniel, until we reached our first class in room 299, math, which we were both in. Teagan found some empty seats and we took them. But, a minute later, we noticed something very familiar; smelled infact, something familiar. We slowly turned our heads towards the door way and saw the skirt wearing, cheerleading, too-much-makeup monster. Samantha Parker. Teagan once read her mind, and saw that she was just masking pain behind that ugliness she calls "popularity". Samantha dawdled in with her "clique" and took a seat parallel to us. "Well, well, if it isn't the two fatsos." None of her comebacks were ever clever. She was as dumb as the rocks in the science room. "Oh Shut up, Samantha. Youre just a bit-" I was about to lash out, when Teagan elbowed me in the side, meaning "shut up, the teacher's here." I slowly turned around and saw Mr. McKinley glaring at me and tapping his foot. "Um-" I stammered. Mr. McKinley was furious. His face was almost steaming, like a vegetable stew.

"... Ill sit now..." I said, and sat down just as the class started
