Prologue
Chris
As the clock approached 7 o'clock, Chris was getting more and more nervous. He was a freshman this year and he was at a new school but at least he was in his hometown and still had friends from last year. He flashed back to summer where he finally manned up and asked his biggest crush out on a date to the movies. The only thing that went wrong was that she didn't see it as a date and more of "Good friends just hanging out." Chris jumped at the sound of his younger sister!
"Hah you scared? Scared of big old high school?" Said Claire energetically.
"Oh shut up Claire you won't survive 8th grade or high school!"
Chris brushed her away and stood by the door. It was time for school and Chris knew this year would be different.
Jill
"Honey! It's almost time for school!"
"I know thanks Mom!"
Jill was rushing from here to there; back and forth. She woke up a few minutes late this morning so she was kind of stressed out, that and it the first day of school so who wasn't?
"Hey mom! Where's my new backpack!?"
"It's down here! And stop yelling it's not that hard to come down here and ask! "
"sorry!"
Jill rushed downstairs and brought her bag back up with her, she piled all her supplies, binders, and notebooks inside. The clock ticked 7 and it was time to go to school!
"Bye Mom! Love you!"
"Bye sweetheart, love you too, have a good day!" Jill was nervous but in a good way; she was ready for this.
Chapter 1
Chris
Chris walked up to the same old bus stop that he'd done so many times before. "At least some things don't change." He thought in relief. He stood there in his fit jeans with his green hooded jacket with a black vest over it, in his brand new converse. He glanced over his shoulder to the left and there she was, she looked amazing. She wore a blue mid-length top that barely covered the top of her stomach area but was covered by a black finger length skirt, topped off with a pair of white converse. His face went red immediately and there was nothing he could do to hide it.
"Hi Chris!"
Chris knew she was more excited than he was but he tried to match with her tone.
"Hey Jill! It's been too long, how have you been?"
" I've been great, me and my family have been doing a lot of traveling lately we just got back from Miami a few days ago! It was so warm! What have you been up to?"
It took a moment to think, he hadn't done much since they last talked.
"Well I've gone camping a few times and some sightseeing, not too much. You nervous at all for school?"
"Not really actually I'm pretty excited, I like new experiences and I miss a lot of of my friends, like you!" She was smiling.
The roaring sound of the bus approached and they both got on after a few other kids. He took a seat in the back and saw someone he hasn't seen in so long. "Barry!" He shouted.
Chris felt so relieved, Barry was a junior this year and was a huge mentor to Chris in 6th grade Barry being older was more experienced with all the troubles they have and will go through.
"Well I'll be damned! Look at you two, all grown up! And freshman! Let me be the first to welcome you Raccoon High! You'll both love it. Do you guys know where you're going first?"
"Our homerooms right!?" Jill questioned.
Chris totally forgot, he reached into his bag and pulled out his schedule.
"It says I have Mrs. Ruffles for homeroom." Chris announced.
"Aww I got Mr. Hendricks." Jill said defeated.
"Well I know Mr. Hendricks is a good teacher but I haven't had Mrs. Ruffles yet I heard she was alright, who knows!" Barry said playfully.
Chris was nervous still, the bus pulled into the lot and they all got off.
" Hey you two, a few things; take a picture of this map, this place is huge; also lunch starts at 12:30 meet me at the Soda machine in F Hall. Ok?"
"Ok!" Chris and Jill said together.
Chris looked at the picture of the map and looked for E4 Mrs. Ruffles. He walked down the hall passing a few football buddies and giving the occasional high five. He approached the doorway and walked inside; taking a seat near the window.
Homeroom went by pretty fast they just talked about what they would be doing in there this year, "we meet in here once a month!" Announced the teacher; they got there full class schedule; there was 8 classes total. On one day he would be going to his odd day classes and on the second day he went to his even day classes so it was an odd & even day schedule. Today he would be going to all of them but for a shorter time than usual. He first would go to period 1; World History. His teacher was Ms. Samuel, it was an alright class; she was a funny teacher and all but Jill wasn't in that class either, what a bummer.
Period 2 was Algebra, he knew Jill was in geometry this year because of her advanced class placement in math last year. Fortunately he did see Brad. Brad was a bit of nerd, he knew a lot, just not about math. He was fun to talk sometimes when he's in the mood but Brad can also be a huge wuss. Last Halloween he placed a fake spider on top of Brad's head and he didn't talk to Chris for a week. But that was all in the past, this year will probably go better than last hopefully. As for the other classmates he would try and get to know later.
His third period was business type class something new he was going to try this year. It seemed alright.
He went to his fourth period class which was Physics, Chris liked science and felt it was one of his strong suits besides football of course.
His fifth class was a health class, he took ib health boy was he glad he did. Jill was in his class!
"Chris!"
She ran over and sat next to him. He was so happy she was here with him. She showed him his full schedule, it turned out they had other classes together as well like their sixth and eighth period.
They walked together to sixth period which was language class, French was one of Jill's favorite languages so he went with it.
It went by fast like the others and afterwards they parted ways as he went towards his seventh period which was weight lifting. His teacher had a lot planned for them since most of the kids in there were football kids and the teacher was one of the main coaches, so it only made sense there was a lot they would be doing.
The class ended and he packed up his bag and went to his last class which was like a study hall/hangout time, a free period basically. Him and Jill rejoined and sat down, they basically hung out for the whole class and talked about new friends, teachers, and the classes they were taking. It was sometimes difficult for him to talk because his hugest crush was right in front of him and he didn't know what to do about it.
As instructed when the clock ticked 12:30 they wandered over to F Hall and found the lone soda machine. Only to find a Mr. Barry Burton awaiting there arrival.
"Sooo? How was it?"
"It was; well school." Chris explained.
They all went on about there day and what was next.
"Here!" Barry handed both of them a dollar.
"Thanks Barry!" They yelled.
They both got a sprite from the machine and all three of them walked to the cafeteria for some food. They sat down and ate, Brad, Joseph, and Richard joined them. Joseph and Richard were part of the football team and were some of the closest friends he had on the field. This felt right to Chris he had all his closest friends by him.
All students were to report to the auditorium for an assembly, thus lasting till the end of the day; it was mostly about the whole school year and wishing everyone a good year.
They parted from Brad, Joseph and Richard and walked to the bus pickup area. The three got on the bus and took their seats.
"Well today was pretty good I'd say for a first day." Chris exclaimed.
"Yea well it will get even better eventually, for example I'm getting a truck soon so we won't always have to ride the lame old bus no more!"
"That's awesome Barry! Jill said excitingly.
The bus pulled up to there stop and Chris and Jill waved bye to Barry.
"Hey Jill want me to walk you home?" Chris asked politely.
"Sure!"
They walked down the street joking about old times and old stories, upon arrival to her house Jill's Mom was outside.
"Well I'll see you tomorrow Chris!" She hugged him and walked to over to her mom. "Yea." He said smiling.
Jill's Mom waved and Chris waved back. He walked back to his house only to be greeted by none other than his annoying but loving sister.
"Well? Did you kiss her?"
"What!? No Claire shut up and go inside." She walked inside chuckling to herself and went upstairs.
He walk into the living room where his parents sat watching television.
"Hi dear how was it?" His mom asked.
He went on rambling about his day, then finally went upstairs, practice didn't start till next week so he felt relieved to relax for the rest of the night.
Jill
Sitting in her room, Jill sat pondering.
"I wonder how he feels about me? I hope I don't give him the wrong meaning by the hug."
In all honesty she didn't know how she felt about him, on one end she really liked him and on the other she always wants to be his friend. Jill has always been one who's afraid of rejection, back in seventh grade she asked out a boy named Danny Pillage and boy was she devastated to find out he had three other girlfriends at the time! She knew she would just have to hide it from Chris; the thought of losing a childhood friend like that would destroy her.
After a while she went downstairs and had dinner with her family, she'd explained how the day was and helped clean up afterwards. She went back upstairs and watched television until it was time for bed.
