//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??
