Married in High School? - Chapter One
I looked outside and scowled, it was cloudy and looked like it was going to rain. "Today's heat index will be high, with a muggy sticky feel..." the tv droned on, and I groaned, facing the mirror again. My hair was poofy, frizzy, and just plain icky. Definitely not what I wanted it to look like today. Pulling a comb through it, I comtemplated putting it up. My phone light up and vibrated on the table in front of me, and I picked it up smiling.
"Hey Babe," I grabbed a lip gloss and swiped it on.
"Hey Doll Face, I'll be there soon." Well I definitely didn't look like a doll today. Tossing the phone on to my bed, I decided to braid it back into a ponytail. I stood up and flattened my skirt with my hands, adjusting my top, and smiled in the mirror. This was my daily ritual. If you smile at your reflection every day it will brighten your mood over all.
"Did you hear about the new policy?" Collin asked me a bit later when he was driving to school, and I shook my head. "Some new graduation requirement. My mom was talking about it this morning, she didn't sound too happy."
"If they think I'm going to take something stupid like another year of gym, they're crazy. That was the worst class ever," I shook my head as he laughed. I can barely walk without tripping over stuff, did they really expect me to run around kicking soccer balls, or hitting baseballs with a bat?
"Yay! Here we are!" I squealed as he pulled into the school parking lot. "Babe do you know what this means?!"
"No...?" He said, giving me a confused look.
"This is the start of the BEST senior year EVER!"
~~~
"Okay everyone, settle down, settle down!" The principal said loudly into the speaker. The entire senior class had gathered to hear about the new requirement. Walking through the halls this morning, I heard some crazy rumors. We would all be transferred to different school, something about combat training, having to get A's in all of our classes- "PEOPLE! I NEED YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!" The speakers blared, and it was instantly silent. "Thank you. Goodmorning, and welcome to your senior year of high school." My fellow class mates and I whooped and hollered in excitement. "Yes, I know this is an exciting time for you. So we need to go over some new rules."
She shuffled her papers and I sighed, Ms. McCoy always dragged things out. "Can she just get on with it?" My friend Lila leaned over and whispered. I laughed, and Ms. McCoy cleared her throat again.
"Okay so first, students who drive to school are reminded to park in STUDENT PARKING ONLY. Next, the school gym will be open after school from 2:15 to 5 pm everyday..." she droned on and on about stupid announcements that no one cared about. We were all fidgeting, waiting for the announcement we came here to hear.
"And I know you all have heard about the new requirement. It's called Marriage Ed. You all will be randomly paired up, and you will be married for the year. You need to fufill all the requirements to graduate. If you don't, you don't recieve a diploma. Welcome to senior year." The auditorium erupted into protests.
YAY! NEW STORY! So I have finals all next week, so I may not post again until wednesday, but after that I will set up a better posting schedule. I will possibly put it up on my profile, I haven't decided yet.
