Ring ring
I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock, just like I did every morning.
Thursday, I thought, Great, another boring school day. I wish it was Saturday, because then I'd be going to Shake It Up! Chicago.
Me and my best friend Rocky Blue have been dancing on the show for a while now, and I never get tired of it. The lights; the cameras; the fact that the entire city watched the show. But that doesn't matter. What mattered was that every Saturday I get to dance with my best friend.
I quickly ran to the bathroom to get myself ready. After I had a nice, hot shower, I got dressed. I put on my purple shirt with a black vest over it, yellow skinny jeans with holes tore out in the knees, my black high tops, and of course, accessories! To finish it off, I put on some mascara, and my grape lip gloss, and headed to the kitchen.
"Hey hey hey!" I heard Rocky shout as she came down the fire escape.
"Hey Rocky. You hungry?" I asked, holding up a granola bar.
"No thanks." I shrugged my shoulders and took a giant bite out of it.
"Hey, we better hurry or else we'll miss the bus." Rocky was always worried about have perfect attendance, but I didn't mind, except for the fact that I'm always getting detention at least twice a week for being late.
When we finally got to school, we were greeted by two people we did NOT like to deal with every day.
"I am Gunther!"
"And I am Tinka!"
"And we are, the Hessineffers!"
Not them. Gunther and Tinka have been foreign exchange students since the first grade, and boy, were they annoying. They always greeted everyone the same way each and every day. At first it was okay, you know, for the first few days they were here, but now, it was just getting old.
"What do you guys want now?" I looked at Gunther giving him my 'Don't mess with me' look, but he just shrugged it off.
"Nothing, we just like to annoy you" Gunther and Tinka laughed.
They are so not funny, I thought.
"Then stop blocking the hall and get out of our way!" Rocky shouted, giving us a few weird looks from a few of the teachers.
"Easy, no need to shout." Tinka said.
"Yes," Gunther smiled, "Is that anyway to treat your friends?"
"Since when have we been friends?" I looked over at Rocky. She just shrugged.
"Since we need your help."
"Ah, I knew you wanted something" Me and Rocky nodded.
"You see, our papa says that we seem like no one wants to be around us….." Tinka started saying.
"Gee, you don't say?" I replied sarcastically.
Gunther continued, "And he says that if we don't start seeing other people besides each other, then we must move back to the old country."
Move back? To the old country? The thought of them leaving made my stomach drop. But if they go back, I may never see Gunther ag-WAIT! Since when do I care about Gunther? I hate him!
"Rocky, you know that I am dating your brother." Tinka said.
"Unfortunately."
"Well if Gunther does not soon find a girlfriend within the next week, then we must leave."
"So I was wondering if Cece would be my 'Girlfriend.' But only for a week, so my papa does not have to take us away from Chicago. Please Cece. You are our only hope."
"M-me! B-but, I don't know…"
"Only for a week. Then we can go back to hating each other, just like before." Gunther pleaded.
"Do it Cece." Rocky said.
"Rocky! You're on their side now?"
"But if not they will have to move. Personally, it doesn't matter to me, but my brother is dating Tinka, and he would be heartbroken if she left. PLEASE CECE!" Rocky started shaking me by my shoulders.
"Okay I'll do it! Now will you please let go of me, Rocky?" She let go and started jumping up and down with joy.
"Great. I'll pick you up at seven so you can meet my papa, so that we can tell him we're dating. See you then, bay beeeee." Gunther winked as he and Tinka walked away.
Oh no, I thought, what did I just get myself into?
