High School Bites!
Chapter 1
My name is Natalie Jenson. I start high school tomorrow at Southbridge High. Everyone there I won't know, except for Alyssa Kaymore. Alyssa is my best friend, she lives right across the street from my house. We have been best friends all our life! We are practically inseparable! But this summer when we were both supposed to go to an archery and swimming camp, Alyssa went to a different camp. I didn't see her for the whole summer! And, we haven't talked since she got home from camp, three weeks ago.
"Natalie!!! Natalie Anna, you wake up right now! It's your first day of high school and your going to be late!" I opened my eyes, it was my mother.I hate it when she wakes me up! I sat up and said, "Mom!!! I have an alarm clock, you know!" She looked at me with her "mother look" on and said,"Natalie,do not talk to me with that tone." I said sorry and she left for work. I got up, took a shower, and then ate cereal. I said to myself, "At least Alyssa will be there to hang out with me today." When I was done with breakfast, I rode my bike to school.
When I walked through the doors of Southbridge High, I was amazed! It was huge! There were hundreds of kids talking, running, opening lockers, and doing other "high school" things. I checked the note that my mom had given me from the principle and looked for where it said my locker was. I finally found it and it said that my locker was on the first floor. It said that if i go straight, the 20th locker would be mine. I went down the hall and counted 20 lockers, I found my locker and looked for my combination on the paper. I opened my locker and put my things in. When I was walking down the hallways looking for Alyssa, everyone seemed to be laughing at me! I didn't know why. Then a group of sophomores yelled out to me,"Nice outfit loser!!!!" Then I knew why everyone was laughing at me, my outfit probably looked totally lame! I was wearing a purple t-shirt that said,'I'm The BIG BAD WOLF!' This morning when I put it on I thought people would laugh with me not at me about the shirt. For pants I was wearing jeans with butterflies on them, I had thought that they were pretty and that other girls would envy me, not laugh at me! I felt like a total loser! But that all went away when I saw Alyssa's face!
Chapter 2
I ran towards Alyssa, but then stopped when I saw what she was wearing. She had on a t-shirt that ended right above her bellybutton, the shirt said,"Back off, I'm way to hot for you." She was wearing a skirt that was 4 inches away from the top of her knee, she looked so cool compared to me. She was talking with a girl I didn't know and they were laughing and hanging out like they'd known each other their whole life. I walked up to them and they stopped talking. I smiled and said,"Hey Lyss!" She said,"Oh, hi." The other girl said,"I'll see you later Lyss!" and then walked away. I looked at Alyssa and saw her staring at her shoes. I asked her,"Who was that?" She said,"Rebecca, my friend from camp." still looking at her shoes. A boy walked up to her and said,"Hey Alyssa." She looked at him and smiled,"Hi Tom. I really missed you." Then she hugged him, it seemed to me that she had forgotten I was even there. He smiled and said,"Wanna go out on Saturday?" Alyssa smiled and said,"Sure!" He smiled at her and walked away. I asked her,"Another friend from camp?" She said,"Yeah, look I should really go, bye!" Then she just ran off. I sighed and looked at the paper to see which class I should go to. My first class was English. I went back to my locker and got out my English book. It took me a while to figure out which book was for English because the books didn't say the class it was for. When I finally got the right book, everyone was in their classes, I was the only one in the hallway. I still didn't know how to get to English, I said to myself,"Man! This is the worst first day ever!"
I walked down the hall, looking for a room that had the word ENGLISH on the door. No such luck, all the rooms had only numbers on them. After looking through all the rooms on the first floor, I began to look for someone to ask where the English class was. I finally found, a group of Juniors just talking in the hallways. I didn't know why they were on the first floor, they were supposed to be on the third floor because they were Juniors, but I decided to ask them where the English room was. I walked up to them and asked,"Um, hi, I'm Natalie and I was wondering if you could show me where the English room is?" The 3 girls smiled and the 2 boys laughed. The tallest girl put her hand out and shook mine,"Hi! I'm Lauren, she's Jackie, she's Tina and those two dorks of boys are Eric and John. Of course we'll show you where English is." Lauren smiled again and everyone else laughed. "OK just follow me. You guys stay behind her, she's way too cool to be in back!" Lauren said with a smile. "Really? You think that I'm cool?" I asked in amazement. Lauren smiled and said,"Of course!!! You're WAY cooler than those dorks!" They were walking down the hall when they went outside. I asked,"The English room is outside?" Lauren laughed and said,"Of course it is silly!" I laughed quietly and said to myself,"Of course it's outside! These Juniors have been here for 3 years! They should know!" Lauren said,"Oh my goodness! I totally forgot! You're a freshman! I forgot our present that we give freshman's every year! Remember guys?" They all looked puzzled. "Remember? That SPECIAL present? That big blue one," Lauren said through her teeth. The others nodded and started giggling. Lauren said,"Just close your eyes and walk 10 more steps! Then you'll find your gift that we give to freshman's every year! Ready? Go!" I smiled and closed my eyes, I counted how many step I was taking. I heard them laugh on my 9th step, I didn't know why. Then on my last step, I fell.
Chapter 3
I opened my eyes and realized that I had fallen into the pool. I screamed and saw the Juniors laughing and running away. I had just figured out why they were laughing and being so nice to me. I swam to the little steps and got out of the pool. I looked at myself, I was soaked! I really needed to find a bathroom, and fast! First I went to my locker and got out my jacket, I put it on, even though it was about a million degrees indoors and out. I found a bathroom and ran into it. Good thing there were towels in there! I dried myself off, well, as best as I could anyway. I heard the bell ring and my heart fell. I had just missed my first class! "Oh man! This totally stinks!" I said out loud.
I saw the door open, but when I saw who was coming in I screamed! Three boys were coming into the Girls Locker Room! They yelled and one asked,"WHAT are you doing in the Guys Locker Room?" I felt dizzy,"I....uhh...umm...I'm really sorry! I came in here without thinking....I thought this was the Girls Locker Room and..." The boy who had asked the question started laughing and the two other boys started too also. I felt my cheeks turning red. The boy who had asked the question said,"Whatever, could you get out, because we kinda have to change, unless you wanna see us change or something?" I said quickly,"Oh,no thanks!You know I should get going! Umm...see ya....I guess?" Then I quickly ran out of the bathroom and ran to my locker.
I looked at the paper that had my classes on it and saw that I had Geometry next. I was about to ask someone in the halls where the Geometry room was when I heard from the intercom,"Natalie Jenson, please report to the principle's office. Natalie Jenson." I sighed and started walking to the principle's office. I knew where that was because before school started I had a meeting with the principle. When I got there I walked into the office and saw the principle, Mr.Tanner, sitting at his desk reading papers. I smiled and said,"Hi Mr. Tanner, umm, you, uh, wanted to see me?" He looked up,"Natalie?" I nodded. He smiled and said,"Take a seat." He pointed to the chair that was in front of his desk. I smiled and walked over to the chair and sat down. When I looked at him, he had a stern look on his face. He said,"Now, Natalie, I got a call from your English teacher, Mrs. Jalimo. She told me that you didn't show up for her class this morning. She had seen you walking in the hall this morning, so she knew you were here. Why weren't you in her classroom when you were supposed to be?" I looked at him and said,"Um..." I thought about telling him that some Juniors tricked me into falling in the pool, but if I told him he would get the Juniors in trouble. If he got them in trouble, I would be in trouble with them! "I...I just couldn't find the right room. Could I get a map of the school please?" He looked at me for a second,"Okay." He handed me a new map. I looked at it and said,"Thanks." Then I started to walk out the door. "And Natalie?" I turned around. "Don't let it happen again." I smiled,"I won't." When I opened the door again he said,"Natalie?" I rolled my eyes and thought,'What does he want now?' Once again, I turned around,"Yes?" I said yes kind of in an irritated voice. When I looked at Mr.Tanner, it looked like he hadn't noticed my change in tone. He smiled and said,"Welcome to Southbridge High!" I smiled and walked out the door. "Finally!" I said aloud. I heard the Warning bell, that meant the next class started in 5 minutes.
I started to run to my locker, I had to push through kids going to classes, and kids going to lunch. Finally I got to my locker, got out my Geometry book, and looked at the map. It said Geometry was in Room 431. I walked and looked for Room 431 and finally found it. I pushed the door open and saw kids reading, studying, texting, talking, and just sitting. I looked for an empty seat. I found one in the third row. I sat down and put my books on the desk. I looked around for something to do. 'Guess I should try to make a conversation with someone,' I thought. I turned to my left and saw someone talking with someone else. I turned to my right and saw a boy just sitting. When I tapped his shoulder,he turned to look at me. He was the boy from the bathroom! I said,"Hi."
He looked at me like he was trying to remember something. Then he smiled,"Hey! You're the girl that was in the Boys Locker Room!" I sighed,"Yeah,I am." He laughed, I started to blush, but then he said,"Sorry I laughed at you. It was just funny!" I looked at the front of the class,"Yeah...funny." He touched my hand,"No, I'm really sorry, seriously! By the way, my name is Jack..." He was interrupted by the teacher who said,"Good morning class! I am Miss Camille!" I looked at Jack and whispered,"I'm Natalie."He smiled. For the rest of class Miss Camille just told us the rules of her classroom:No talking,no passing notes,no using cell phones,no using ipods,blah blah blah.
That's not the end of chapter three but it's not done yet.
