The Start of It All [1]

Chemistry Sucks

"Casey, wake up! Wake the hell up!" Allison yelled at me, hitting me with one of my pillows.

"I'm up! What the hell, Alli?" I asked her groggily, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

"Guess what?" She said, practically hanging over me.

"What?" I asked her, yawning.

"You get to come to school with me today." She told me.

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion as I sat up in my bed to look at her.

"What are you talking about?"

"Casey, the high school wants you to visit so you can observe the classes you will possibly be taking next year there because you have such a high IQ for your age." My mom said, in the doorway of my room. "Don't worry, your school has been notified and are excusing you for today."

"Oh, okay. I didn't know they did that." I said. "Just let me get dressed and I'll be down soon."

They nodded at me and left my room, so I could quickly change. I got up and went to my closet, finding an outfit to wear.

I decided to wear a gray t-shirt that was cropped a bit, ripped jeans with the cuffs folded a bit, and a pair of white converse high tops.

I put a pair of studs in my ears, then put on my necklace, and my bracelet. I brushed through my wavy dirty blonde hair and then started my makeup, going for a more natural look with some mascara that made my honey brown eyes pop, and put on some vanilla mint flavored chapstick, then finished everything off with a few spritzes of my perfume.

I looked at my backpack, and pended on whether I should bring it or not before deciding not to. I mean, I'm just going to observe, it's not like they're going to make me participate or anything.

Grabbing my phone and my purse, I left my room and went down the stairs to go into the kitchen.

"Good morning." I said to my family, grabbing the plate that was filled with eggs and hash browns, and sat down at the table to dig in.

"Good morning, squirt. You excited for today?" My dad asked me, taking a sip of his coffee.

"I guess. I mean, I didn't even know that they did this kind of stuff. I guess it'll be cool to take a look around and see what kind of stuff I can possibly take next year." I told him, bringing my glass of orange juice up to my lips and taking a sip from it.

"Well it's good to get a quick peek and see what you're in for next year." He told me, and I just nodded since my mouth was full of food.

"Casey, we're going to be late!" Allison said, quickly grabbing her things for school.

"Coming!" I quickly finished up my food and my orange juice before putting my dishes in the sink. "Bye Mom! Bye Dad! Love you!" I yelled before running out the door and hopping in Allison's car.

"Are you nervous?" Allison suddenly asked me.

"About what?" I asked her, looking out the window, watching as we passed by all the houses.

"About you coming to my school today. I mean, you have got to be nervous. Its uncharted territory for you." She said.

"Kind of, but only because I've never done this kind of thing before. I just don't want to embarrass myself." I told her.

"Casey, you'll be just fine. You won't embarras yourself. If anything, you'll probably embarrass someone else with that smart mouth of yours." Allison said jokingly.

"Okay, that's true." I said. I kept looking out the window until we finally arrived at Beacon Hills High School.

Allison found a spot to park in, and we got out of the car. I saw so many kids scattered all over hanging with their friend groups and I tried to get closer to my sister.
