Chapter 1
It was my first day at the new school. I was starting in the middle of the year, which didn't make things easy. If I wanted any shot at a lacrosse scholarship I had to come to McKinley's sports program. As I walked down the hallway towards my last class of the day, I heard music coming from a classroom. I'm getting closer when I realize I've walked past it, I double back and peek around the corner. A few girls are gathered around the piano singing Tay Tay's, TwentyTwo. They're pretty good and they look like they're having a pretty awesome time; then I see her. Her smile is incredible. Her dark hair shapes her face and makes her lips stand out. I can't peel my eyes off her, until, the blonde next to her pulls her into a bear hug n gives her a kiss. Girlfriend? Hmmm. I wonder, least I know she plays on my team, I think to myself as I continue to class.
After school I have my first practice with my new team. We're all stretching on the field waiting for the coach. I'm quiet as I listen to the conversations around me.
"Santana's a bitch. She talks a big game but doesn't have anything to back it up," said a girl to my right.
"Yeah, but she's smoking" says the girl next to her. I wonder whom they're talking about, this Santana sounds like a treat.
"It doesn't matter, someone who's that self involved doesn't have anything else to offer. Get over it, plus she's with Brittany. That's not changing anytime soon," says the girl next to me.
The girl to my left brings me back from my thoughts,
"Hi! I'm Sugar! You must be the new forward that everyone's talking about."
"Yeah, I'm Jamie, nice to meet you. Your name's pretty cool."
"Thanks, it's probably because my parents think I'm sweet as sugar. I play goalie."
"Cool " I nod my head, still trying to eavesdrop on the other conversation.
After practice I head home, Sugar seemed nice. A little blunt, but she said it had something to do with her Aspergers. I've never met anyone who's played lacrosse and been autistic as well. She was pretty good too.
A few weeks went by, lacrosse was going really well. I started hanging with a few of the girls on the team, Sugar and Marley. Everyday at lunch, we'd sit in the cafe and they'd give the run down of the school, the gossip and things I should know to help fit in. All I learned was stay away from the meatloaf and a chick named Santana.
"Rumor has it, she attacked some sophomore girl with just her vicious words and sent her into a psychotic episode" said Sugar with eyes wide open as if she had seen a two headed monster.
" Who is this girl?" I asked probably a little more scared than I needed to be, not that I would admit it.
"She's the new head cheerleader," said Marley.
"And she's one of the leads in the glee club" Sugar chimed in.
"Wait, so you mean to tell me, the scariest, meanest girl in school is part of glee club?" I asked.
"Don't let glee club fool you, we're some bad ass bitches up in there" said Sugar. I rolled my eyes n chuckled to myself. I forgot about glee club, they also seem to have a few cuties up in there too from what I saw my first day. I hadn't seen that girl again, I wonder who she was.
