Chapter 1
My name is Jenna, I am 17 years old. I am in the senior class even though I just turned seventeen instead of about to turn eighteen. My mom lied on my form to get me into school earlier apparently she "couldn't take being around me all day anymore". So at the age of just-barely-three, I was off to start school. Anyway, back at my old school I had great friends and I was loving life. That all changed when my mom's job changed location and we were shipped off to California to start a new life. I have three older brothers, Bret, Carey, and Ryan. They are all older than me so I am not really close to any of them but I know that they would do anything for me. I don't know what my new school will be like, I only hope that I won't be the "weird new kid" that nobody wants to hang out with. Well let's begin, shall we.
"Jenna!" my mom yelled
"I'm coming!" I yelled back throwing my suit case down the stairs
"We're going to miss the plane!"
"It doesn't take off for an hour and a half mom!"
"Ry, let's go! Mom is flipping out!" I yelled to my brother who was still packing
"Give me five god damn minutes!"
Ryan was excited about going to California but he was a little upset he had to leave his friends and his normal hot-spots for bar-hopping. Lucky for him, some of his friends are moving to California so they can "hang with their buddy in new territory". He has weird friends.
Twenty minutes later we were off. When we made it to the airport we waited and waited until we boarded our plane. I was sittin' in my seat. I was no where near my mom, brother, or his friends. I was in the middle seat when two guys came over and sat on either sides of me. They were pretty good looking too. I looked over at one of them and he immediately introduced himself.
"Hey, I'm James" he said
"Jenna" I said shaking his hand
"I'm Kendall" the other boy said
"Jenna" I said shaking his hand too
"So why are you going to California?" James asked making conversation
"My mom got transferred and I'm going to finish my high school career in a new school"
"Oooh, that sucks" Kendall said
"I know. Why are you guys going to California?"
"James and I are in a band with out two friends and we are going back from our mini vacation"
"That's so cool!"
"Big Time Rush" James said
"How old are you guys? Sorry if that's a really weird question." I said laughing a little
"We, are eighteen" Kendall said "And you?"
"Seventeen" I said
"One year younger than us" James said
"That must make you a, junior?" Kendall asked
"Nope, senior"
"How?"
"My mom lied on my enrollment slip to get me into school"
"So when did you turn seventeen?" Kendall asked
"About a month ago" I said
"Do you guys go to school too, seeing as you are in a band?"
"Yeah, we do" James said
I spent the whole plane ride talking about anything and everything with James and Kendall. I probably will never see them again but they are really nice guys. I could definitely see myself with one of them but it didn't matter. I am sooooo not ready for school on Monday. It is currently Saturday, by the way.
-Monday-
Time for boring old school at a new school where nobody will pay any attention to me. Ryan is lucky because he already graduated college and he has his friends so he is perfectly accepted. The only good thing about this move is that my mom bought me a car to say she was sorry when we all know, she isn't. So, I got ready for school, grabbed all my stuff and hopped in my new blue sparkly Corvette. Man I love this car! I drove to school and pulled into the parking lot. I had the pleasure of seeing lots of people I don't know stare at my car. I pulled into a parking space and hopped out. I was wearing jeans and a plain blue v-neck, my dark brown hair flowing to my shoulders and the v-neck really made my blue eyes stand out. I had a small amount of bangs that went off to the side corresponding with my side part. I grabbed my stuff out of the back seat and went into the school on my way to the main office to get my schedule. A couple people introduced themselves as I was on my way through the school searching for the main office. When I finally found it the lady handed me my schedule without an upward glance. This is gonna be fun, I can tell. And if you couldn't tell, that was sarcasm. I made it through most of my day without getting lost because this very helpful teacher gave me a map of the school. It was when lunch rolled around that I got nervous. I had no idea where to sit. I was looking around for an empty table when I heard people calling my name.
"Jenna!"
"Jenna!"
I turned around and saw Kendall coming up to me.
"Kendall! Hi, I didn't know you went to school here" I said
"Yeah! This is so weird! Come sit with me and my friends" he said to me
"Thanks" I said following him to the table where his friends were
He introduced me to everyone and told me to sit between James and his other friend, Carlos.
"Hey James" I said getting out my lunch
"Smart choice" he pointed to my lunch "The food here is dangerous" he said laughing
"Thanks for the tip" I said
Just after that, a girl came up to James and kissed him before sitting next to him. There goes my chance with him…
"Jenna, this is Emily"
"Hi" I said
"In case you haven't guessed, I'm James' girlfriend" she said laughing
I laughed too, I feel so in place. I never expected this to happen. I figured it would take at least a couple weeks to make friends. Thank god I met James and Kendall on the plane. I turned around to see what Carlos was doing; he hadn't spoke since I met him. He seemed to be doing homework and seemed to be confused.
"Need help?" I asked
"Yes please, usually Logan helps me but he is too interested in his girlfriend over there. Her name is Erin"
"What do you need help with?" I asked
"This" he said simply gesturing to his homework
"No problem"
I helped him finish all of his homework in 15 minutes and he said that thanks to me he understood everything completely. He was the same age as me but he actually was a junior. We talked for a while and everyone at the table tried their best to include me in every conversation. Ally, Kendall's girlfriend, was the one staring most of the conversations. I began to talk to Carlos again and one of his comments caught me off guard.
"You have really pretty eyes" he said
"Thanks" I replied
To fill the awkward moment, Ally and Kendall both agreed with him. The rest of lunch was pretty boring but on the bright side, I was invited to hang out with everyone after school. I went through the rest of the day just trying to not get lost and memorize the school. After school, Kendall and Carlos walked me to my car from whatever building we were in. We were walking through the parking lot when I stopped at my car.
"Here she is" I said gesturing to my car
"THIS is your car?" Kendall asked shocked
"Yup"
"Sweet car!" Carlos exclaimed
"I know right?" I said "My mom got it for me when we got here"
Kendall and Carlos were walking around my car looking at it with wide eyes. It had a small back seat but it was almost a two seated car, the back was that small. My 1987 or so Corvette and obviously, these two boys were in love with my car.
"One of you want a ride? I need directions to James' house" I said
Carlos and Kendall practically wrestled to get into my car. Carlos won.
"That's ok, Ally probably wouldn't want me riding in another girl's car anyway" Kendall said pretending he wasn't a little sad he couldn't ride in my car
"I drove my own car to school today anyway" he said still making excuses
"Hop in if you want" I said to him
"Ok!" He said excited
Carlos was in the passenger's seat and Kendall hopped in the back. I put the top down and we were on our way. It was a really nice day so everybody wanted the top down.
"I didn't really drive to school" Kendall said after a few minutes
a/n: ok I have been thinking about this story for a while now. Sorry if it sucks, I can't help it. Please review!
