Beep Beep! Beep Beep! Beep Beep!
It was Thursday morning, the last day of school. My eyes were half open half shut. I banged my alarm clock with my palm until it finally shut off. I was so comfortable in my bed I didn't want to get up, but I finally did when my mom yelled that we were leaving in 20 minutes for school.
I threw on my favorite pair of jean shorts and a cute blowse from hollister. My hair looked like I had just come home from the 80's, so it took me about the rest of the time I had to straighten it which meant i had no time for breakfast. That didn't matter. I need to loose weight anyways.
I grabbed my backpack and jumped into the car already texting a mile a minute.
"Who are you texting this early, Isabella?"
"Molly," I said in a stubborn way.
I hate when my parents ask who I'm texting. Why is it their busniss?
My mother calls me Isabella, and I hate it. All my friends call me Bella because they said Isabella was pretty lame. Molly was the only one who liked it. She's my best friend and also the reason why I have so many friends. She's my idol and I couldnt live without her.
"Hey Bella!" Molly said as Iwas throwing my books in my locker realizing I didn't finish my homework.
"Hey Moll" I replied in a less exciting way.
"You reasy for summer camp?!" She exclaimed.
I smiled, which was half fake. "I guess so," I said.
She frowned. "Why don't you seem excited? We look forard to this every year, even on the first day of school!"
"I know I know, it's just I might need to do a few weeks of summer school because I havn't completed all of my assignme-"
But before I could finish, Allison was already talking to Molly who I could tell felt bad for not listening to me.
"Hey Molly! Hi bella." She said from high to low.
I smiled, fake once again. "Hey Allie."
"Molly!Your hair looks great today!" she said.
She was right, I didn't realize how good it looked until I really observed it. Molly had the thickest blondest hair you'll ever see and the brightest blue eyes. I always was a little jealous of her. She also had the tinyest waist and developed before any of our friends.
Me on the other hand had thin,black hair with the worst split ends. But I must admit, My green eyes were pretty deep. Though I think i need to loose some weight and grow a bigger chest. I mean I'm going to be a freshman next year, which means HIGHSCHOOL.
"Oh my gosh it's Jake it's Jake stay cool guys stay cool." Allison exclaimed.
Jake Brown, full name Jacob Brown, was the cutest most popular guy in eighth grade that every girl wanted.
"He's coming this way!" Molly yelled.
I couldn't help but stare at him when he walked by. He looked and smiled at me and I could feel my heart racing 30 miles per hour.
"Bella! He just smiled at you! Molly, he's walking to the cafe. Let's go get something to eat! Bella, come with?"
"No thanks, I need to go to the library and finish my homework. I don't want to waste my whole summer in school," I joked.
"Cant you just finish it after school? Some teachers let you do that." said Molly.
"I can't we have our team party for lacrosse after school silly. And on the last day? No way!"
"Oh yeah! I forgot."
"Come on Molly let's go boys eat fast!" Allison exclaimed.
And when they walked away, I started walking to the library.
