Opposite paths
"Ding ding!" The school bell rang as first period started. "Shit, were late again, Teresa, you have to start waking up
earlier, you're just lucky we have a sub in math today," I said as me and my two best friends grabbed our bags and
headed for school. "Ariana calm down, you and me both know everyone is late for math, we're considered early!"
Teresa said while closing her locker. "Besides, Chloe doesn't seem to mind, right Chloe?" "...Wait, what were we
talking about? I'm still not fully awake yet." Chloe said while yawning. "And when are you fully awake?" I said as we
walked to our class.
And then another boring day of school began. I guess it's not so bad. Oh, hi there, I didn't notice you. Let me tell
you a bit about myself. My name is Ariana Lessa, I'm fourteen years old and a freshman, and those were my two
best friends. I bet you're wondering if we are all freshman then how can Teresa drive, well she was held back
enough years to have her drivers license as a freshman. Although she recently got it and isn't what you would call
the "best driver". And Chloe, all I can really say is she is a bit of an airhead. She never knows what's going on and
sometimes I wonder if she's stoned or was really born that way. Anyways, our little group is what some people like
to call many names, the preps, populars, plastics, you name it. But we didn't force our way into being one of those
popular groups. Truth is it just kind of happened, but come on, I mean none of us are complaining so why not?
Maybe you are having a hard time picturing this because I haven't really described our looks yet. Well I have long
blonde hair and hazel eyes, I'm about medium height without and heels or wedges on. Teresa has long brown hair
and green eyes. Being that she was held back, well, a good amount of times, she is pretty tall. And Chloe hair
shoulder length blonde hair and brown eyes, also she is the shortest out of the three of us but just barely shorter
than me by about an inch. We are all skinny and a little fit from our gym and yoga days which were Teresa's idea to
go to, but we all ended up liking it.
Alright now that that's over lets get back to my life, well time flew by, it's already lunchtime. "So what are you guys
wearing for the fall formal?" I said while scooping some orange chicken onto my plate of rice. Nice thing about our
school, every once in a while we get Chinese food days and let me tell you, I love Chinese food. "My dress is a short
poofy blue dress which I am pairing with these adorable silver strapped sandals." Teresa said. "Mine is a bright
white sparkly long poofy dress and I have black pumps with it." Chloe said while putting rice on her plate. "Well," I
said while walking to our table, "Mine is a strapless hot pink dress with a ruffled bottom shorter on the top and long
it the back and lots of silver bling. I'm wearing it with sparkly silver pumps." "I can't wait for- ahh!" I was cut off by
this guy with glasses and his tech geek computer ran into me and spilled my food all over. " What the FUCK!? Don't
you watch where you're going!? I said while picking chicken out of my new outfit. He just sat there stuttering "O Oh
my god I I'm so sor sorry." While he picked up the spilled tray of food. I didn't even bother I ran upstairs to go clean
up in the bathroom. Some people honestly who plays on their laptop while walking in a lunchroom. It's the end of
school, I didn't bother talking about the uncomfortable three hours in a sticky outfit, you can imagine the pain.
I was walking home today because my parents were both working and taking the bus was an automatic fuck no.
Besides my house isn't terribly far away I was going to stop by starbucks really quick anyways but looking at my
clothes I decided not to. While walking I saw that same guy again. The one who made a Chinese buffet of my
clothes. He was walking into the woods nearby. What was he doing? Trying to get his ass bitten off by a bear? I
have to admit I'm a pretty curious person so I followed him. It was just a long trail in the woods until suddenly it
stopped at this gap in the woods with no trees, just grass and one giant strange looking rock. He was just studying
the rock like it was some kind of diamond I mean it's just a rock. Then I realized he heard me walking and turned
around with a frightened look ok his face. But just as he looked at me the strange rock started to glow and opened
a portal and before I got to say or do anything we were both sucked into it. And that's when I blacked out.
