The New Kid - Chapter 1: This is Me
Jump into the life of Ariel McEvans, the most popular girl in Hollow Tree High. Being the most popular girl isn't always a walk in the park.
"NO MOM, I ALREADY TOLD YOU I'M NOT PREGNANT! GOD LEAVE ME ALONE!!!"
"You're irritant, hunny, that's a sign of pregnancy!"
I slammed the door in her face, locked it, and ran to shove my head in a pillow. I was screaming at the top of my lungs! My mother drives me insane! Ever since I started going to Hollow Tree Highschool last year she thinks, because I'm the popular cheerleader, that I'm going behind her back and doing things "I shouldn't be". Did I mention I'm 16 and she is JUST letting me have a boyfriend? Yeah, it's true. Dad was so much easier on me over the summer; see, my parents split when I was 11 and I stay with my dad on summer breaks. My name is Ariel McEvans and I am finally a junior! Being the most popular girl in Hollow Tree isn't always a walk in the park... anywyas... this is my life.
I dialed my best friends number... i needed someone to talk to...
"Hey this is Claire's answering machine she, meaning me, obviously isn't hear so, you know, leave a message!!"
"Hey, Claire, my mom's freaking again. Call me when you can ok?" I flipped my cell closed and turned over to my side to sleep. The rest of the day zoomed past in dream mode and before i knew it, it was the next day and my annoying alarm was buzzing in my ear! Man, I hate the sound! I jumped in the shower and threw my favorite jeans and my Hollister Tee on. "Later, Mom." I told her midway out the door. I drove down to school and arrived about 5 minutes early, which was perfect timing to meet up with my bestie.
"ARIEL!! My freaking parents took my cell phone! UGH! Parents!"
"Yeah I know what you mean, Claire... my mom went off thinking I was pregnant... she's done it so much recently."
"What's this about you being pregnant, babe? I know it wasn't me." Mike came from behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist
"Nothin, hun, just my mom freaking."
"I'm sorry!"
"It's chill, I'll get over it!" The bell rang and it was off to class for all of us, but of course Mike pulled me aside, while everyone was looking, and kissed me. Usually I don't mind his kisses, but when he does it where everyone can see it's not as thoughtful and I wasn't in the mood to begin with, anyway! "MIKE!"
"What?"
"Oh you know what... I'm NOT in the mood!" I walked off to class and he just walked off to be with his football friends. For some strange reason I wanted him to come chase after me, but I was well aware he wasn't going to. Algebra 2 was horribly boring, English was no different, and Digital Photography (my favorite class) was good. Lunch rolled around finally. I ate a salad for lunch with the works and Italian dressing, I love it. The rest of the day was exactly the same... boring, boring, and boring... then homework, the worst thing EVER invented.
I got home and called up Celeste, she knows everything that's going on around the school. I usually call her when I'm bored or when Clair is grounded, she's on my cheer team and we're pretty good friends so it's chill. "Hey, Cel, what's up?"
"Oh you know the usual... What about with you?"
"Not much, problems with Mike as usual."
"Oh." There was a short silence before she continued, "Hey, did you know there's a new kid coming tomorrow?"
"No! Where from? What's his or her name? What grade? Details, Cel, come on!!"
"Ok, ok," She laughed "Colorado, HIS name is Blake, he's a junior, and he was really popular in his last school."
"Blake, Oh my God! I love that name! Can't wait to meet him!"
"I know right?"
"YEAH!!!"
My mom always interrupts me when I'm on the phone, it's like she listens in. "ARIEL! IT'S TIME FOR DINNER! COME DOWNSTAIRS!"
"OK MOM!" I told her then I put the phone back to my ear, "Hey, Cel, I have to go, I'm sorry! See ya tomorrow!"
"Bye, Ariel, see ya then!"
I finished up dinner, the nasty dishes, and went to bed. I was ready for tomorrow, I wanted to meet this Blake kid, I love meeting new people.
