It was a sunny morning in San Diego, California. It was Monday morning, seven O'clock. Ali and Kayla, two best friends since kindergarten, were walking to the first day of their third year in high school. Ali had flaming red hair with black streaks in it, and big blue eyes. Kayla had short black hair, which was usually pulled into a small ponytail. Most of it had purple hair dye that was slowly fading away.
"I heard from Madrid, who heard from Connor, who heard from Andrew, who heard from Maya, who got it from Karly-" Ali stopped short so she could catch her breath. Kayla arched an eyebrow and nodded her head. "Okay, you get it. Anyway he heard that two celebs are coming to our school!" Kayla, who held her skateboard under her arm, contemplated this. How much would this affect school? She did not know. Kayla loved to skateboard, as did Ali, but Ali preferred walking today. Kayla and Ali weren't Goth per say. More skater-ish, as their friend, Aaron had put it.
They were nearing the school, when they heard it. The screams of crazy, idiotic girl fans, trying to catch a peek at whom ever were the new kids. Kayla and Ali both rolled their eyes; they had no desire to see how it was. They really didn't care.
"Ali! Kayla! Guess who the celebs are?" Their good, Arabic, friend, Dominick screams at them.
"O.M.G. Dominick! Guess what?! We…don't care." Ali yells at him.
"Well, if you guys did care, I'd tell you its Jacob Kay and James Kris." Kayla rolled her eyes then grabs Ali's elbow and walks into the school. They both grab their schedules and depart for their homerooms. Kayla had Mr. Wilcox, the science teacher, and Ali had Ms. Ward, the folklore teacher. When Kayla arrived at her homeroom she noticed everyone was crowded around one desk. Her friend, Aaron grabbed her wrist, not even letting her set her stuff down and pulled her back into the group. He pushed through and brought her with him.
"Here she is, found her guys!" Kayla looked at Aaron, a bit puzzled and he smiled. Then she looked at the kid sitting on the desk in front of her. She could literally, just by looking at him, tell he was a big jerk.
"Kay, this is James Kris!" Aaron and pretty much everyone screams.
"Hi, I'm James, who are you?"
"Kayla Jackson." She stretched out her porcelain white hand and James took it. They shook hands then Kayla went to go sit down.
"That's right Jackson, go away, we can't have James hanging around losers!" A girl, Tanya, says to her.
"Say one more thing, Whitmore, and I swear on the Holy Bible my board will be hitting your head so hard your brains, that is if you have any, will be spilled everywhere."
"Is that a threat?"
"No," Kayla says shaking her head, then taking one last look at James. "A promise." She turned away from the group then went to go read a book. She knew James was probably already going out with Tanya, or her little minion, Tiffany. She knew James would never even look at a girl like her. A tomboy, who would want her?
No, she told herself, the question is: why do you care so much?
Ali had been dreading the moment her and Kayla would have to separate. She walked to Ms. Ward's room and went inside. No one was here except for Tiffany. Oh, wonderful, Ali thought.
"Alison Richardson, how are you?" She rolled her eyes at Tiffany and walked to a desk. When Tiffany saw she wasn't getting through to Ali, she tried again. "So, have you heard about Jacob Kay? He's in our homeroom." It sparked her attention, but by a bit.
"Am I supposed to pretend I care?" Ali asked.
"Oh, good."
"Oh good what, Tiff?" She asks in a mocking tone.
"Well, one less girl to worry about…oh, wait," She checked her phone then put it back in her pocket. "Looks like Kayla's uninterested as well." She scowls and turns around to see a big cluster of kids flooded into the room.
"Hey, Jacob." Tiffany says, as Jacob nears her seat and takes his own. "So, have you met everyone in homeroom already?" Jacob nodded and then Tiffany smirked at me.
"Not everyone," She tugged Jacob to get up and follow her, not like he had a choice. "Jacob, this is one of two biggest losers in the school, Ali. Her other companion is with James, her name is Kayla." Jacob shrugged then laughed.
"You look like a tomato." He laughs, and so does Tiffany but she's obviously down that she didn't think of that one.
"Aren't you a little short for a celebrity?" He smirked then went back to his seat.
And, so they day had begun.
