The bell rings, and its Tutor time at Greenvale High. Im Maddy Mcguiness, and im in Year 10. I dont fit in well at all. Most girls in my year are blonde, tall skinny, and have the whole package. me? im short stubby, have acne and braces. I have one friend in my year, Rosa Davies. She's pretty much the same as me, just more popular, but thats only becasue of her brother,Chris. Christopher Davies, head boy in year 11, heartbreak, and singer in the schools band. People only want to get to know Rosa for that reason.
Me and Rosa shuffle down the corridoors, the worst place for the best nerds. In Greenvale, you have your cliques. You just need to know which ones to avoid. Luckily, we have Chris as guidance. Chris is amazing, he's perfect. Mousy brown hair that falls into a curly mess, crystal blue eyes,and the perfect lips, perfect moisture. Have I mentioned he's Perfect. When he speaks, the words dance out of his mouth, no harshness, no hard breaks. Just pure.
"Maddy, I have to go! Im late to piano and it's my last chance" Rosa says in an apologetic voice.
She's leaving me, alone, again. oh god why! Im going to be on my own, i can't do anything without rosa, or chris.my life is a sham!
"ok, gates afterschool. bye," I say, trying to make it sound like I don't care she's going.
I walk down towards the canteen, Jheeze I hate this place.. its like hell. infact no. Hells probably better. You get all the year 7s, running for their lives to avoid the year 11s, the girls who take up 4 tables to thier makeup, the dinner ladies that scream and shout and spit all over your food, and then me, little old Maddy Mcguiness, stuck in the middle as always.
I sit down at the table furthest awat from the chaos as possible. Near the window of course. Im highly chlostraphobic, and must be within 30cm of oxygen radius at all times. embarrising I know.
"Maddy, come here" SHIT! it was Lucie stevenson, Christophers ex girlfriend, and head Girl in Greenvale, the Girl everyone wanted to be, and know. Why was she even talking to me, I don't even speak to her, oh god im dyeing, has the window been shutm or has my own body heat rushed to my face at once.
I look up at her, trying to discreetly pat away the sweat im gathering on my top lip.
" don't make me ask again Maddy Mcguiness!" she meant it now.
I get up. Trying not to make eye contact with anything but the floor. I stand there before her, like a helpless little fly. Should I speak? I just want the floor to open up and swallow me whole. Oh lord above, why me?!?
"sit down, dont be shy" is this girl for real? I mean me?
"Maddy, we want you to know, your always welcome with us, no-matter what, you seem so lost.. but me, rachel and luna, will always be there for you. Your beautiful" she sat back in her chair and raised her eyebrows, before turning to the other girls, demanding they agree.
"oh yes, we'd love that" rachel says smirking.
"i-i-i, better, g-go" I shot up, grabbed my bag and scurried away from them, not back to my seat, but out of the canteen, my legs moving so quick i cant feel them, im like a tornadom ripping throught the corridoors.
Ouch!? oh no. laces. yep thats right, the classic laces on my shoes, had to do it, had to trip me up. I fumble around on the floor looking for glasess. Someones gentle touch on my chin, as i fix my glasses in the right position, i notice who it is CHRIS YAY! Its chris he's touching me, he's staring at me, my stomach is doing double flips. wowzaaaaaa!
