"Sharon's here!" Kim shouted. I leaned over my vanity quickly to apply some lipgloss in front of the mirror. "Come on!" Kim yelled.
I threw my backpack over my shoulder and went running downstairs. I was excited for school! Carla looked so cute in her pink dress. I figured she wanted to impress the boys. Her makeup was all done up too.
"You look great." I told her smiling.
"So do you." She said.
"Did you cut your skirt? It wasn't short enough before?" Kim said looking at me.
I shrugged. "I like the freyed look." I said.
"It was already a mini-skirt and you cut about three more inches off." She said.
I shrugged giggly and ran outside with Carla. Aaron walked out behind us. We climbed into the back seat of Sharon's SUV and she drove off. I looked at Laura. She looked so dorky that I was actually embarassed to be dropped off at school with her. Her glasses were very thick. She was even wearing a scotty dog sweater vest. Right away, I felt like offering her a makeover, but I kept my mouth shut.

"Have a good day." Sharon said as she parked in front of the school. I hopped out of the SUV and stared at the school as I put my backpack on. It was a real school. Real. I was speechless. Carla stood next to me. We looked at eachother and smiled.
"Meet me right here after school." Aaron said pointing to the ground in front of us.
I nodded and started walking up to the school. There were tons of students walking in and out of the building. I caught a group of guys checking me out as I walked up the steps. "Hey." I heard a guy say. I turned around. He smiled. "Are you new?"
"Yeah." I said smiling.
"I'm Blake." He said.
"Lor." I giggled.
"Where's your first class?" He asked as we started down a big hall of classrooms. I pulled my schedule out of my pocket and looked at it. "Room 201. Calculus. Mr. Bringman." I said.
"Calculus?" He asked surprised.
"Yeah. . ." I said confused.
"Are you like smart or something?" He asked.
"Yeah, I am pretty smart. I've got honors english next." I said.
He just stood there staring at me. I smiled and walked upstairs to find room 201. It happen to be the second door on my right. I walked in. There was only one girl in the classroom. She was sitting in the back of the first row of desks. She looked up at me as I sat down next to her.
"My friend Laura is sitting there." She said.
I looked around. "That's funny. I don't see anyone else in the room." I said.
"I'm saving it for her, blondie." She said.
"Fuck you, Red." I said. I stood up.
"Excuse me? What did you just say to me?" She said.
I leaned down close to her. "I said, pretty cleary, Fuck you, Red." I said.
She got a mad look on her face, stood up and stormed out of the room.
I smiled and sat down in her desk while I waited for class to start.
