Chapter 1: First Day
(Story collaboration between xxrikachan and chibi-suke07)
BAM!
The doors burst forward with swift speed when Nicole Roland and I, Keili Arias, kicked both front doors of the school open. Of course, what would you do, being a freshman at a brand spanking new school for snobs, rich people, and just plain stuck-up people? You'd kick open the door to let them know who's boss. We both stabbed the air with an accusing index finger; pointing to the people we just happened to barge in on in the lobby of the school and screamed, "I'm Keili!!"
"And I'm Nicole!!"
Blankly, the other students stared at our nonsense. I don't know about Nicky, but I was beginning to feel embarrassed. The front door went down steps to reach the crowded floor where the main office, attendance office, and counselor's office sat idly (we might be going there soon...). At first I took a brave but giant leap down the first flight in my DC's, sliding down the second flight's rail and landing at the bottom perfectly.
"We're freshman," I grinned, the words stroking my ego in some way that made me feel like an adult.
"OUCH!" I turned back from my astounded audience to my best friend, her asymmetrical bob a mess and her body sprawled out a little ways away from me on this lobby floor. However, she went with the plan. The words were muffled; however, she managed to make the words as loud and clear as possible. "We're not idiots from middle school! So…so…"
I slapped my forehead and started laughing, "Nickyyy! You screwed it up!!"
Striding over, my hand gripped hers as I helped her from the floor; one hand gripping mine and her other raking miscellaneous strands of that chocolate hair of hers straight.
Smiling her goofy but gorgeous smile, Nicky replied back, "You know I'm clumsy. There was no way that was going to work anyway."
As we talked, the crowd has dispersed to their assigned classes, ignoring the fact that two freshmen tried—and failed miserably—to own them on their first day.
The Aegean High School was a school for the first-class people of this area. It was a very clean, pristine school, its students just as well, with a few minor details aside. The said details would just so happen to be what you and we—Nicole and I—go through, because it's high school! It's gonna happen. Rumors, boyfriends who suck, friends who suck, teachers who suck, suckers so stupid they suck even more, you name it. This school is just like yours, only with a greater and higher image than most. And you're probably wondering what we're doing at a rich school. The simple answer is this: Aegean just happened to be in our area, and so I applied the both of us. The truth is we have really big dreams. I want to be a photographer and Nicky…I forgot… anyways, she wants to be something more than a nobody who has a low-wage job like our parents. So I had to type up two really good essays explaining why we chose this school even if we can't pay the fees that come along with attending the school. Of course, I didn't tell Nicole this; she would've flipped and made something crappy. Nicole's strengths are more…outside of writing, as she says. But my friend supplies super ideas let me tell you!!
Anyways, Nicole and I first met in Kindergarten; some kid put applesauce in her milk carton while she wasn't looking, and the fact I wanted to tell her and be her friend nonetheless made it a bit easier to start talking to her. I wasn't very talkative, but I'm getting better, as you can tell. I told her about the applesauce and she nearly killed the kid, but ever since we've been together by some bond of fate that friends share. She's kind of like my sister, only not blood-related. We did do a blood oath in fifth grade though.
We've always been together; we've always wanted to stay that way.
And we both wanted to go to Aegean, so I did us both a favor.
So here we are.
We got our schedules. They looked exactly the same. Each class was an hour and a half long, four classes a day, first lunch as soon as the 2nd block to 3rd block bell rings. We had first Spanish II with a teacher named Ms. Stephanie Amery. Then we had Orchestra with Mr. David Cartwright. She plays the violin really well for someone who 'has stupid fingers' she says, and I play the cello. I love my cello…Anyways! Bell rings and then it's time for lunch, and it's Honors Biology with the Cheerleading Coach Ms. Heather Hawkins. Lastly, it'll be easy little freshman class World Geography with Mr. Steven Heller. The counselor, Mrs. Dubois, gave us our schedules assigned us the same homeroom and lockers next to each other. We kindly thanked her and walked out of the office.
"Gawd I'm hungry," I whined to Keili, who stared intently at the map Mrs. Dubois provided for her. We were momentarily camping out right next to the stair rails of the central staircase, a little bit past the lobby. Right now we were on the
I could hear my stomach growling; it was like, meowwrrrrrrr…..rororawwrrrrrr…..meeeooowweeerrrrrr—
Keili screamed, "NICOLE!" Making me jump.
"What?" I shouted back, sort of irritated she made me jump on such an empty stomach.
I don't like being hungry. It makes me feel like I have a gigantic hole in my stomach, you know?
"You're…" she trailed off the first time, but started back up again, pointing and looking past me, "You're blocking that Sophomore's path, chica."
I spun on my heel to crane my neck up at a tall sophomore. His eyes were steely blue and would steal the life out of you if they could. His hair reared up like the scales of a silver dragon, hair glistening as though morning dew has overstayed a visit. Wow…I've never described someone like that before…
"Nicole!" Keili grabbed my shoulders and pushed me out of the way, "Out. Of. The. Way!"
Kay laughed slightly when she apologized to him. "Nicole's a little spacey sometimes when she doesn't eat…Our bad! Sorry about that."
"…Whatever." He glared at me before walking away.
"Ouch," I mused, "A little harsh?"
"…Huh?" I didn't even notice Keili go into space, the hypocrite.
"You're such a hypocrite."
"…What?"
"Exactly."
