Frenemies // Michael Clifford

Chapter 1

I woke up to Beth calling me. "Carmen, are you up yet?" She questioned. "Yeah I'm just getting ready" I lied. "Ok, I'll pick you up in ten minutes for school! You better be ready!" She told me assertively.

Today was Monday, the most loathsome day of the week. Apart from music. It's my most favourite subject. I was in most classes with Beth. We are a stereotypical "geek". We always get good grades. But to be honest Beth is just a teachers pet!

I got out bed hastily, and got ready. I put on a flannel shirt with some jeans and vans. I brushed my hair and went into the bathroom to make myself not look like some scarecrow. The door rang and Beth was there.

"You ready to go Carmen?" She asked. "Uh-hu" I groaned. I shouted bye to m mum. I live only with my mum. I don't think she heard though. We walked onto the drive-way and hopped into Beth's car. She put the radio on and my favourite song ever came on. American idiot. I was screaming the song at the top of my lungs.

Don't wanna be an American idiot.

Don't want a nation under the new mania

And can you hear the sound of hysteria?

The subliminal mind **** America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.

All across the alienation.

Where everything isn't meant to be okay.

Television dreams of tomorrow.

We're not the ones who're meant to follow.

For that's enough to argue.

Beth just laughed at me. Probably because I was the most quiet girl in school and here I am screaming American idiot at the top of my lungs.

Beth parked in the school parking lot and we both jumped out. We were just talking and from afar, there they were. The most annoying 4 human beings on earth. They were shouting out random and inappropriate comments. "Oh my god Beth! I hate them with a burning passion and I don't even know why?!?" I exclaimed. She just nodded in confusion and we continued to walk into the school building.

The bell rang. Beth and I made our way down to music and sat in our assigned seats. "Right class, settle down I have an exciting project for everyone!" Miss young said in delight. I looked at Beth and we gave the "we are gonna be partners look".

"You will be assigned partners for this project to build your confidence and team work skills. Your task though? Is to compose a song with lyrics with a given topic" Miss Young said.

Well what's the worse that can happen?

Beth got put with Emily who is ok but when it came to me all that was left where boys!?!? "Right Carmen, you can go with Michael." My heart literally sank. I can't believe I was put with this dork. Anyway, let's just get this over and done with, I thought to myself.
