Life of a Teenage Ninja

First Day of School Yippee!

JORDAN'S POV

The first morning bell rings, which is the universal signal for hurry up and get to class before you get detention for being late. I'm a 16 years old (mostly) secret ninja with, thankfully no siblings and I currently attend Weston High. On my way to my locker, I'm greeted by the bright smile of my best friend. Emma and I have been best friends since kindergarten, she knows everything about me. I know what you're thinking Jordan isn't foolish enough to tell her best friend she's a ninja, but we're best friends and true best friends don't keep secrets. Plus, I trust her with my life and if I keep a giant secret like this from her then what kind of best friend would I be. Emma is beautiful and I'm not just saying that because I'm her best friend. She's a brunette with chocolate brown eyes, outgoing, bubbly, and surprisingly perky for a junior; however, don't mistake her good looks and charming smile to mean that she's a pushover she will strike you down hard and fast if you ever mess with her or her friends. For some odd reason even though she's hotter than the sun she's not very popular but you know how adolescent teens are: morons.

"Hey what's up" I hear her say.

"What's up? I'm dreading yet another day of school." I reply.

"Aren't we all but listen I was passing by the, uh you know inner circle and I overheard-"

"Overheard? Oh, honey, you and I both know you were eavesdropping. Call it like it is."

"...Okay fine yes I was eavesdropping," she said exasperated " But that doesn't matter what does matter is the fact that I heard that Luke and Sarah just broke up again." 

I stare at her blankly "And this matters to me because?"

"Well it doesn't but it's fun gossip that's already happening on the first day back to school. And I wouldn't be so invested in their lives if I had anything else to focus on, but I don't, so this is the topic of the day."

"but I don't-"

"Anyway it turns out, they broke up because Luke found out Sarah cheated on him with Ash," she said.

"Oh my gosh, what!" I say faking surprise " I can't believe she would do that I mean it's not like we made a bet to see how long it would take Sarah to sleep with someone other than her boyfriend. Oh, wait! We did!" I say in a very sarcastic voice."By the way, you owe me twenty bucks."

Let me tell you a very simple fact about Sarah that is pretty much known by EVERYONE. Sarah will sleep with anyone and I mean ANYONE it's really quite sad.

"I don't need your sarcasm, okay you know I love to gossip"

" Yeah I do, and I love you anyway"

" Of course you do no one can resist this face," she says with her hands under her chin, flashing me a wide grin. 

"Okay, okay, I get it, let's get to class before we're late," I say.

I wave goodbye to Emma and head to my first period which is AP history yeah that's right I'm extremely smart. I actually, surprisingly really love history. Why? I find it fascinating to learn about all the crazy brutal things people did back then, you know, when there weren't any laws and the monarchy could do whatever they wanted. I mean I understand why history is irrelevant to living in the real world but isn't it cool to learn that a man was tarred to death or another man died from laughing too much I didn't even know that could happen.

After first, second, and third period is lunch and of course like your typical high schools you have the... wait what do you call kids who sit at the tables by social rank? Oh yeah cliques. You know the thing that instantly puts in a little box, ranks you on how popular you and add stupid labels to awesome people. Lots of people have different abilities and personalities that could really add to your high school experience which is why I try to get to know as many as possible. Here  at Weston High you have the same as high schools on TV, jocks, plastics, hipsters, goths, and the nerds which is what my friends and I are labeled as though, I haven't the slightest idea as to why because like I said were awesome.
