//Chapter 1
I stood in the doorway of Preyton High, tapping my foot on the ground while waiting for Kat and Anne to show up. Other students were groaning while walking through the doors, the despair and boredom of a new year was already drifting in the air. Girls were screaming and hugging each other, while some of the guys were awkwardly greeting their friends with a handshake. As soon as I saw the yellow Beetle drive into the parking lot, a grin spread across my face and I ran down the steps to welcome my best friends. Kat smiled from ear to ear and pulled me into a warm hug. Anne adjusted her glasses before stepping towards me. She hesitated.
“Come on, Anne. I’m not infectious.” I said. She soon hugged me lightly, and I could feel her ribs against my body. Anne had been released from rehab only a few weeks before, after having an eating disorder and self – confidence issues. We had stopped talking after a while, because I tried to help her and force her to eat, but being stubborn Anne, she refused. We made up after she came out of rehab.
“I missed you.” Anne said quietly, and pulled away. Kat giggled and took me by the hand.
“Let’s go!” she grinned, and lead Anne and I inside the school. We were walking along the corridors only for a short while until we were stopped by Logan, Kat’s boyfriend. He took her by the waist and kissed her passionately. Logan had been dating Kat for three years now, and they were most defiantly in love. Unlike Zac and Tina, the head cheerleader and the jock, who had an on and off relationship.
“Charlie!” Aaron said, and gave me a noogie. Aaron had been my friend since we were three and in kindergarten. Even though we are now 17, we both still maintain a relationship. Sometimes people think we are dating, but not once have I thought of going out with Aaron. I fixed my fawn coloured hair back into place and ruffled his own. As our group walked down the hallways, Logan and Anna departed and went to their first class. Kat waved to me and walked into hers. It left me and Aaron alone together.
“So, how’s life?” I asked. He looked at me, and laughed like I had said a joke.
“Well, apart from entering another year in a hellhole, I’m fine. You?”
I elbowed him in the chest, and he smiled crookedly. He pushed me playfully, and I fell, dropping all my books on the floor.
“Need help?” asked a deep voice. Steven stood towering above me, holding out a hand. He pulled me up and picked up all my books. I could see a hint of jealously in Aaron’s eyes.
“I can literally feel the connection between you two.” Aaron said when Steven had walked away.
“Yeah, we’re going to get married and have six kids. I just know it.” I said sarcastically, and pushed past his shoulder into the classroom.
This is going to be a fun year.
More?? ;)
