• Chapter 1 : I jumped out of my moms Escalade, and walked quietly to the Junior High building of our School. I precisely turned the knob on my combination lock , making sure I got each number right, then pulled it down and opened my locker. I checked myself on the tiny mirror in my locker, thinking to myself that I might look selfish doing this at school. I unloaded my books into my locker and got out my first and second period books. I slammed my locker shut and rushed to see my friends , hanging out on the bleachers of the soccer field and rating each others outfits. I quickly took out my iPhone and started playing Tap Tap Revenge. As my friends started to gossip as I played Tap Tap Revenge I noticed a figure , not that far away from us. It was Oliver, he was acting like a fool, he fell to the ground randomly with all his friends laughing and cheering him on. How I wished I could just let loose and have fun like that. But all that mattered to my friends and me was style , animals , and boys. I listened to my friends latest gossip , as my friend Camilla went on about how this nerd Zack cried in class last week when his phone went off in class, I watched Oliver and his friends. I couldnt keep my eye away from them. They looked like they were having so much fun. They werent at popular as the other boys, but the other popular boys didnt seem as fun as them. Its not like they were nerds. They were like middle class. At our school we sort of have a social system, you gotta work to get to the top. But let me tell you , you get tired of being at the top sometimes. You just wanna have some crazy fun , but if you do all your popular friends frown at you. Everytime he fell I laughed. Then my other friend Sofia asked me why I was laughing. I could never reveal that I liked Oliver, they would turn it into a rumor and then I would be ruined. Then another one of my friends sitting with us, Natalia, said something about Oliver and his friends that would have made me curse at her if she wasnt a friend. Natalia had said that Oliver and his friends were just acting like fools to get attention. They sure were getting mine. Just then the bell rang. We all parted and left for our homerooms. Oliver was in my homeroom, he sat in the middle of the classroom, While I sat at the complete back so I would notn get caught passing notes or anything like that. I passed notes and dragged myself to my next class. Sofia was in this class with me. As Sofia read her creative writing essay in front of our English Class I gossiped in the back. Then Sofia sat down and yelled " EWWW!!! MY CHAIR IS WET!! YUCK! " , she sprang out of her chair and looked at the gooey stuff on it. She then made a big scene about it and I didnt even bother to say anything about it. All that mattered to me was Oliver , and some of my friends too. I walked back to my locker as Oliver ran past me after his goofy friends. I didnt even bother thinking about Camilla, Sofia , or Natalia for the rest of the day.
