Chapter One: First day, first impression
*Alarm rings!! 6:00AM!!! WAKE UP!!! The sun was up and ready for a new day and so was I. It was the first day of school and I was exited. The last week on my summer vacation grew absolutely boring and that made me eager to get to school, quite unusual really. I woke up so early, that most of the people in my house were still asleep. I got ready and wore the new outfit that I’ve bought from this new shop in the mall and left an hour and a half after I woke up. I walked to school and I as I did I saw a few of my friends and just walked along with them. They too were also eager to get to school. As I came closer to the school I saw a lot of old faces and some new ones too. Most of the new ones were either exchange students from other countries or new kids that just had moved here in the neighbourhood. Some were cute and others were nerds. And there standing next to the front entrance of the school, sitting on the steps were my two close friends, Sam and Gordon.
“Hey girl! What’s up? We haven’t heard from you since yesterday. What happened?” Sam asked.
“I – did my homework.” I said.
“We, we have homework?” Gordon exclaimed as if he just woke up from a nightmare. “I didn’t know about that.” Calming down.
“That’s because you weren’t listening in class at all.” Sam said in a you-know-what style.
“I was bored last night! So I did my homework, damn that English bitch for a teacher!” I said.
“Yeah, she was, like, the only teacher to give us a 5,000 words essay for homework, the rest were, like, ‘Ok, have fun in your holidays!’ What a killjoy biatch!” Sam said.
The bell rang as soon as Sam finished what she said and they entered the school.
“So, what’s our first subject?” Gordon asked still half asleep.
“Physics, with -” Said Sam
“- Mr. Tyler! Ahhh!!!” They both said at once cheerfully. “He is sooooo HOT!” I said.
“Oh, I love physics!” Sam said.
“Or maybe you love… Mr. Tyler?” I said with an eyebrow raised.
Sam blushing “Well, I bet you like him too!”
Gordon shook his head way and muttered “Girls!”
The tree of them entered the Physics room and sat to their usual place at the left hand side row. Sam sat on seat behind the first row and I sat to next to her on the right, while Gordon was behind us. I noticed that there were two new faces in the class. A girl, who was blonde and tanned, was sitting next to the door and a guy, who looked like an addict, sat next to Sam, who was staring dreamily at Mr. Tyler. Gordon was still shaking his head and still muttering under his breath “Girls!”
As soon as Mr. Tyler entered the class everyone hushed up. Most of the girls stared at him dreamily, including me, as if we in a trance and all the boys were getting all pissed off, all were thinking, what does this Tyler guy have that we guys don’t? Well, he’s cute and matured that’s why.
An hour later the bell rang, indicating the lessons over. Most of the girls were so miserable that the lesson ended but the guys were like, hooray! Shouting for joy.
The three of us got out of the class. Sam and Gordon were both arguing about her being so dumb and him being so jealous. I was just there listening to their cat fight, they both sounded really stupid arguing about something that isn’t that important. As we were walking to out next class, which is maths, that guy who looked like an addict walked pass me bumping his shoulder to mine as if it was on purpose. I called out to tell him off but then he just looked back and gave me a furious look and walked off fast. I thought that that was weird. I mean, what did I do? We went to our next class and went quite well, we didn’t do much.
After that class, it was time for our break. We stopped by our lockers to drop our books and bags and went in the cafeteria. We queued up to get our food. Gordon and Sam were talking amongst themselves and people who knew us passing by greeted us. I looked around the cafeteria to see who was there. I saw that new girl from Physics class sitting next to the cool rich kids, she’s probably one of them and the table next to them were the jocks, who were staring at the girls on the rich kids table. I also saw a couple new faces around who looked pretty normal. After getting our food, we found an empty table outside and sat there. Gordon and Sam continued taking to each other as I just butted in every now and then. I saw that addict guy again; he seems to be looking for an empty seat. There was a couple next to me and he sat there. He quietly ate his food when Gordon introduced himself.
“Hey, umm, I’m Gordon. Your new here, right?
“Yeah, I am.” He said. There was a pause in between.
“Umm, I’m Sam and this is – “
“- Kim” I said.
“Oh, I’m Skye.” He said in a dull tone, he stared at me for quite a while blankly and switched to Sam.
“So, Skye… where you from?” Sam asked with a happy manner, just to make the conversation livelier.
“California.” He answered at once.
“Why did you move here to Chicago? I mean, why move away from Cali? Most people would kill just to go there.” Gordon said.
“’Cos of my dad. He was moved to work here in Chicago. We are originally from this place but then when I was younger we moved to Cali.” Skye answered.
“Hey! I lived in Cali for a year! It’s really nice there!” Sam said.
“Oh really! Where there exactly?” Skye said, now starting to have some liveliness in his tone.
“North District, Darien Beach.” Sam said.
“Oh! We live there! I mean, used to.” Skye said.
“Oh, cool!” Sam said.
+ + + + + + + + +
School ended and everyone was anxious to either go home or somewhere else. Sam and Skye were bonding quite well which led Gordon to get pissed off again. I on the other hand noticed Skye was giving me strange glances and I just ignored them. It looks like Sam and Skye are liking each other. I don’t see why they do. Skye looks like an addict and Sam, well, she always falls for the wrong type.
The three of us got away from school and stopped by this little café down the street called “Shake’s”. We always go there and it was a great hangout for kids like us. We were its first costumer, so we sort of became VIP’s in that place. We always sat in the same booth and we ate, did our homework there and hanged out! It was fun there and this summer we worked here for about a month. We earned our money and then splurged them all here so it didn’t make any difference. They just got back the money that they gave us after working for them. The owners were our friends, Shane and Jake. The name of the café “Shake’s” was taken from their names. ‘Sh’ from Shane and ‘ake’ from Jake. Both of them are brothers and the two of them are hilarious pranksters too.
A lot of the kids from school were also there, including that blonde new girl. She sat the bar with her friends next to the counter and ordered milkshakes for each of them. Gordon, who I noticed was always taking a glimpse at her, was looking at her now. He seemed to be in trance.
I clicked me fingers at his face and said, “Hey you! Stop day dreaming”
He shook his head and tore off his eyes away from her.
“Why is it that guys always go for the blondes?” I asked sarcastically.
“What? I – I don’t like her!” Gordon said as he blushed.
“What?!” Sam said at once. “That girl?” Staring at her with a disgusted look.
“I wasn’t staring at her! I wasn’t!” Gordon said at once.
“Then what are you looking at Gordon? Her hair, the view of her back? It’s still her you know!” I said teasing him.
“Quit it all right?!” Gordon said. Sam looked bitter.
This blonde girl looked very pretty, she was blonde and tanned, perhaps from where she went (Palm Beach? French Riviera?). She looked like one of those spoiled snotty rich bitches who use people and such. I didn’t like her. And besides, look at the people whom she’s with! Courtney, the evil blonde terminator. Hilary, the blonde wannabe (she was once a red head and now she’s saying that she’s natural blonde. And Amanda, the dumb blonde who thinks really highly of herself coz she thinks she’s some pop star. Ew, that sucks!
After a few hours, the three of use walked home. We ate our dinner and did our homework there at Shake’s. When I got home, Sam called me.
“Hey Kim! Guess what?”
“What?”
“Skye is so cute!”
“Yeah, so? I don’t see it.”
“Well, he is just so sweet!”
“You know, when I first saw him he looked like an addict.”
“But, he’s a sweet addict!”
Beep – beep
“Hey, Sam, call waiting, just a sec I’ll pick it up.”
“Hello? Hey Kim!”
“Gordon?”
“Yeah, I followed that blonde girl from Shake’s and she’s not a rich snobby bitch after all like you said.”
“You followed her? What for?”
“All right, I admit it, I like her. She isn’t a rich kid after all. She’s normal like us! Woohoo!!”
“All right Gordon. Sam’s on the other line just a sec.”
“Yeah, but don’t tell-“
Beeeep
“Hey Sam, Gordon’s on the other line, he just admitted that he likes that rich blonde girl.”
“He WHAT!?”
“Yeah he did.”
“Augh! Ok bye!”
“Later!”
Beeep
“Hey Gordon!”
“Oh, let me guess. YOU TOLD HER!?”
“Yeah, so? What’s the problem?”
“Never mind. Bye.”
“Ok, later!”
