On Friday, Lexie, Laurel, and Kay wore the shirts. The shirts that they came up with the idea for at their junior high church retreat. The shirts that they had made in June. The very blue t-shirts that had hung in their closets all this time, vowed never to be worn until this day. The shirts they believed would get them friends that were older, friends that could help them survive high school. Maybe even seniors would notice, smile, say "hi, I like the shirt idea, welcome to high school!"
Not that they didn't have friends. But their expectation? They would be involved. Students and teachers alike would see that they were "people" people. For college. The reality of the matter? Things didn't go as planned.
"Get it?" Lexie asked, smiling at the play on words. "Fish are friends. Not food. Freshman, fish, haha?
Becca gave no response except a skeptical look.
"Anything?" Lexie asked.
"Nope," said Becca.
Hi, my name is Lexie. I'm starting high school, and I'm going to die.

undeniable
He's smirking down at me as he says, "Um, you're in my seat." I laugh and say, "You realize that is the most cliche thing you could possibly say?" He looks confused so I elaborate. "It's the first day of school and you're coming up the new girl, claiming I'm in your seat. Sorry, but it's not very original." He huffs and rolls his eyes. "Get out of my seat, sunshine." "Watch it happen, pretty boy." I reply, smirking as I stuff my other earbud back in. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Madeline Lace is the youngest of six, the older five being all brothers.

Highest Rankings: 115 in first person I was just a simple sophomore. I hung out with my friends, played sports, got straight A's, my life seemed to have everything that I wanted, until I saw her.
