Day and Night - Part 1

Let's get it straight. My name is Lena. Living in Hanover. 17 years old, a rascal at heart. I don't party. I don't drink. I love music, and anything or anybody to do with it. My story is different than any other story out there, so listen up.
My mom and dad got divorced, 3 years, 5 months and 17 days ago. I've been counting. My mom's been the lucky one in this family. New husband, and new children. It's as if I no longer exist. She's got twins, Mickey and Dave, and at this critical time in her career, they're the main focus. I've got a new life too and being a senior in High School is a pretty important part of my life....Here we go.

'Lena! It is 8:45! Do you realize that school starts in 15 minutes?'- my darling mother, Eleen bellowed from the dining room, projecting her angry voice three floors up to the attic, which was transformed into my new room.
'Dude! I am coming...I won't be late, honest!'- I growled, and tumbled out of my bed. 'It is only school. It's not like I'm going to be late to the birth of Jesus, or whatever!'-
'I heard that!'-
'Good for you! Can I have some privacy now?'- I screamed.
'Hurry up. I've warned you!'-

I ignored my mother's comments, and went into the bathroom, was out in 5 minutes, and spent the remaining 10 picking what I was going to wear. I settled for a nice, not so tight and not so loose black tee with a funky red print, black skinnies, and my standard black converse. My hair had become a nut house, so I combed it through and blow-dried it. It was unusually red - no, not orange red, really red - today, even though I had just dyed it. I threw my bag on one shoulder, closed it tight, picked my skateboard, and ran downstairs.
'No time to eat, I know I'm late, I get it, I get it, I'm going!'- I said, answering all of my moms questions in one quick jumble of words, and ran outside.

After dropping my skate down, and getting a good launch, I maneuvered around the various toys from different kids, that stretched about 3 blocks in the direction I was going. The dodging finally backfired, and the skate, with me on it, flew forward; well, I flew sideways into a random garden, and my skateboard crashed into a cute guy standing at the corner, along with another dude. Great. The skate had hit him nicely in the backside, and he turned around instantly, seeing me down on the ground. He came closer and asked me if this was my skateboard.
'Shit! I'm sorry. Um, lost control. Pardon.'- I stammered, with my helmet falling off to one side.
'It's alright. No problem.'- he said. 'Here.' he added holding out y skate.
'Thanks. Sorry, I've gotta go, school.'- I said, and rode off. No reply, not anything.

When I got to school, Megan came running to me.
'Ooooh you are dead! You are! How could you come so late? Are you bloody insane?'-She hissed.
'I crashed into a guy on the way to school. Gosh, chill pill, Megan.'- I replied, looking around the classroom, still with grass in my hair, and all of my belongings in my hands.
'Anyway. You know that band I love? Tokio Hotel? Yeah, well they're here! As in, here here!'-
'What on a concert?'- I said, not interested at the moment.
'No you retard! They're here! At the school! They attend this place now!'- she said, and I stared at her in awe. She must be lying. I've had a crush on the guitarist, and their songs since I was 13!
'They're playing in the assembly this morning. A song or two. Personally, I can't wait! You better enjoy it!'- she snapped at me, but I as still pretty gob-smacked to react.

The lessons flew like lightning today, and the usually painful 2 hours of Math on the Monday morning passed like they were nothing. The assembly came fast, and they'd rearranged the Gymnasium into a full on concert hall. Wow, someone was bothered.

'Hurry up Lena! They're starting!' Megan shouted to me over the screaming crowd. 'You're not going to see them!'-
'I know! I'm trying to get there, but this stupid person is like, standing on my foot!' I screamed, and noticed a few girls shift their feet, and let me pass through.
'Hurry!'-
'Jesus, I'm here aren't I?'- I shouted, and glared around the place, searching for the band, that was meant to be on the stage, already playing.
'Where are they?'- Megan said, and looked startled when they showed up next to us.
A few minutes later the songs started and groups of girls started chanting their names. It was all 'Bill Bill Bill, Tom Tom Tom, Georg Georg Georg, Gustav Gustav Gustav!' for minutes, continuously.

I looked up at the stage to see four guys enjoying themselves, and I finally learned to appreciate their songs, and the lyrics' true meaning.
'Dude, I can't breathe. Plus I think someone fluffed. I'm going out, see you in a few.'- I said, and went outside to an empty classroom. I sat on one of the tables, swinging my feet around like a five year old, all over again. I got up, closed my eyes, and let myself spin in circles for a while. Surprisingly I didn't get dizzy.
When I stopped and opened my eyes, Tom was standing right in front of me, his shimmery eyes staring intently into my own.

'Oh. Um sorry.'- I said, and couldn't help blushing.
'It's no problem. I do that a lot too.'- he replied, and I continued to blush. I felt that this would never end, and to be honest, I didn't want it to end. 'Hey, your skateboard flew into me this morning didn't it?' he said, and a charming grin slapped itself onto his face, making him look all the more attractive.
'Yeah! Oh Gosh, I'm so sorry for that! I lost control. I'm Lena, by the way.' I said, and smiled, as best as I could.
'Tom. Well, I guess you've heard. '- he said, and chuckled a bit.
'Oh of course. Half the population of this school is obsessed with you. Oh I like your hair. That's so hot!' I blurted, and started blushing again. In reply he blushed too, and a few minutes later, Bill rushed in, shouting at Tom.

'Tom! We're going. Come on. Oh. Shit. Sorry, didn't know you were here. I'm Bill.' he said, and waved at me.
'I'm Lena.' I said, and felt all my pride shrivel, and crash to the ground. Great. Barricaded between two of the most attractive men on Earth.
'Pretty name. Chill, Tom, we have to go. Gustav's mom's here.'
'Yeah, yeah, okay, in a few minutes.' he retorted, and waved his hand in a leave-me-alone manner.
Bill went our, only to come back in a few short minutes.
'Tom!'
'Okay! Relax. Here, Lena, this is my number. I'll call you tonight. When I get home. I'll see you around, won't I?' he said, smiling, and handed me a paper onto which he scribbled his number.
'Of course. See you soon.' I said, blushing even more after his hand reached out and touched mine whilst handing the paper.
'Cool. Can't wait. Bye!'- he said, and Bill added a swift 'Bye!' as they left the room.

'I heard you got some action with Tom today in the Bio room?' Megan said.
'No. We just talked. And-' I was cut off. Again.
'AND?'
'And he gave me his number. He'll call me later today. Chill, dude I got to go. See you later!' I said, gave her a hug, and made my way to the gate.
'Tell me what he's like!' she added to me as I was walking, with a wink.
'Duh! You're my best friend!' That ended our conversation, and we waved to each other one more time.

'Mom, I'm home. I'm going up to my room. No need for food right now!' I said as I entered the dining room, seconds after my entry to the actual house.
'Yeah, that's okay. I've got to take the boys to the doctors, and go to that Mediator meeting, okay? I'll be back with the kids by 10 or 11 pm.' she said, and kissed me on the cheek, minutes before going out of the house.
I threw my bags down on the floor of my room, jumped on the bed, turned on MTV, and put my phone on normal profile.
Bzz. Bzz. Bzz.

I heard my phone's new Bee ring tone sound, and I immediately panicked. I fished for it in my bed and when I finally got it I pressed the answer key. It was Tom.
'Hey! Do you wanna go out for a movie tonight? I thought it'd be a good way to meet you.'
'Um, I dunno, my mom's out, and I doubt she'll be coming back as late as she said...Maybe another day. But hey, I live at Berkley road, in house number 89. Come over anytime. We could meet each other that way.' I said, keeping my fingers crossed that he'll come, sooner or later.
'Yeah sure, no problem. See you around!' he concluded, and hung up.
Half an hour passed and he called again.
'Come our onto your terrace.' Was all he said.

At first I was confused and in the end I just got out of my bed, fixed my hair, and went outside. I felt like the biggest retard out there.
'How 'bout a movie now? You've got a choice of 3 movies and two microwave over popcorn flavors. Open the door.' he said, and that charming grin came upon his face again.
'I'll be right down.' I shouted down to his level, ran inside, downstairs, fixed my hair once more, opened the door and grinned. Being just with the socks on my feet, and no shoes, I realized that Tom was actually really tall. Hot damn.
'C-Come in.'- I stammered.

'Don't mind if I do.' he said and gave me a hug. I felt my cheeks blow up, and become as red as my hair. I played it cool, and walked in through to the kitchen.
'We're adults here, so let's get it straight. You want beer?' I said enthusiastically, and chuckled.
'Hahaa, yeah sure.' he replied. His bright smile had me head over heels.
'Here you go.' I said, handing him a bottle...I couldn't help but smile. Tom, in my house. Hell yeah. 'Come on. Let's go upstairs. The TV awaits.' I said, running up the stairs, closely followed by Tom.
