okey dokey, this fic is all about the teenage drama...yes! read my friends, though this chappie is just kind of an intro and might be boring and long, keep reading anyway!
I woke up it was seven
I waited 'till eleven
Just to figure out that no one would call
I think I've got a lot of friends but
I don't hear from them
What's another night all alone?
When you're spending everyday on your own
And here it goes...
I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid, I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares
Cuz I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me, tonight...
And maybe when the night is dead
I'll crawl into my bed
I'm staring at these four walls again
I'll try to think about the last time
I had a good time
Everyone's got somewhere to go
And there gonna leave me here on my own
And here it goes
I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares
Cuz I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me
What the hell is wrong with me don't fit in with anybody
How did this happen to me
Wide awake I'm bored and I can't fall asleep
And every night is the worst night ever
I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid (I'm just a kid)
I'm just a kid (I'm just a kid)
I'm just a kid (I'm just a kid)
I'm just a kid (echo)
I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid, I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares cuz I'm alone and the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world
I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid I know that its not fair
Nobody cares cuz I'm alone in the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world
Nobody cares cuz I'm alone and the world
Is having more fun than me
Tonight...
I'm all alone Tonight...
Nobody cares Tonight...
Cuz I'm just a kid
Tonight.
"I'm Just a Kid" –Simple Plan
Chapter 1
Zack
I can't decide how my life is. It's so good, yet it's so incredibly bad. On one hand, I'm in an amazing rock band, I have amazing friends, and an amazing crush. On the other hand, I am stuck living in my family.
Good lord, my dad is possibly the worst father on earth. He doesn't understand me, he doesn't understand music, he doesn't really understand anything but work. That's all he ever does is work. That and fight with me, and now with my mom. I don't hate him necessarily, I mean, it could be a lot worse, he could be like abusing me or something. I just wish he were gone sometimes. Which, may happen in the near future.
He and my mom have begun to fight a lot and I think I overheard her on the phone with Lawrence's mom (who is a lawyer), asking about the divorce process. In some ways, I hope and maybe even pray that they get a divorce. That would mean living with my mom, and only having to see my dad every other weekend. But in other ways, I kind of hope they don't. When Michelle's parents got a divorce it really messed her up. In fact, I haven't seen her in about 3 years.
I can't decide how my life is. It's so good, yet it's so incredibly bad. I'll get back to you when I have made my final decision.
Freddy
I am the master of Horace Green Junior High. No one can deny it; it's incredibly, totally, and completely true. Putting it subtly, my life rocks! I have the coolest friends on the planet, the best (and not to mention hottest) girlfriend, and I'm even in a rockin' band! How much better can it get?
Sometimes it sucks, though. I can't live up to my parent's expectations of perfect, well-behaved, straight A student. I have a C average in all of my classes, and probably the most detention record in all of Horace Green. It doesn't really help to have Eleni, the braniac for a sister. God, she's perfect. I think it just makes me look worse.
I can look past all that though and just chill with the good. I think I can handle the rockage my life has bestowed upon me, because I am the master of Horace Green Junior High. No one can deny it, its incredibly, totally, and completely true.
Lawrence
Mr. Cool. It really is a great nickname if you think about it. It would be even greater if the words were actually true. No matter how much Dewey said that being in a rocking band would make me 'cool', its not true.
I mean, in some ways, I guess it is a little better. At least I can look like I have real friends at lunch, when I sit with the band, but I know its not true. They don't really like me. I'm still Lawrence, that braniac kid who spends his life reading.
Mr. Cool. It really is a great nickname if you think about it.
Katie
Drama, drama, drama. If I had to describe my life in three words, those are definitely the three I would choose. And it's not just my life! It's all of my friend's lives too. Actually, my life is the normal one. It's just the people around me that aren't normal.
Take Zack for example, he and his parents fight, and his parent's might be getting a divorce, and he makes it out to be this huge deal. Of course, my parents and I almost never fight, and my parents have been happily married for 23 years, so I wouldn't know.
If Zack wasn't enough, take Alicia. She thinks that she will never get her braces off. She's only had them on for 3 years... that is kind of a long time. Anyway, Alicia cries almost every night because she thinks she's ugly.
Drama, drama, drama. If I had to describe my life, or maybe my friend's, in three words those are definitely the three I would choose.
Marta
Ah, life! It's a beautiful thing, really. At least, my life is. Perfect grades, perfect boyfriend, and perfect friends. And the band. And the cheerleading squad.
That's kind of a problem though, if you think about it. Because the cheerleading squad tends to want to do their dances to 'Hit Me Baby One More Time', not 'Highway to Hell.' And the band would much rather go see Led Zeppelin in concert than go see Marta in a pep rally. Cheerleading is way fun, and all my friends are there. Except Katie, Summer, Alicia, Tomika, Freddy, and Zack, who are my best friends.
Ah, life! It's a beautiful thing, really... sometimes.
Tomika
Fat. I've heard that so many places. Yeah, sure there's Aretha Franklin and Dewey, too. But they're chunky, or hefty, or husky. Me, I'm fat.
Oh, sure, no one would ever say it to my face, but I've heard them talk. One time, Michelle and Eleni thought that I was out of earshot, but Dewey's van is so small you could hear someone if they were just moving their lips.
Anyway, they thought I was out of earshot and Michelle said, "Even if she can hit a note or two, she's fat and ugly."
Eleni agreed, "Yeah, who wants to look at her at the front of an album cover?"

Alicia
Brace face. Sassy. Bully. God, I hate all of those names. They just remind me about how much I hate myself.
First of all, Brace Face. Am I ever going to get the dern things off? I mean the orthodontist said a year when I got them on in the fourth grade. I'm in the eighth grade now and the stupid man had the nerve to tell me it was going to be at least two more years.
Second of all, sassy. Sure I'm sassy, but that doesn't give people the right to hate me, does it? One time I heard Gordon say, "Alicia is so sassy. I just hate her every time she makes one of those snide comments at me."
Thirdly, bully. Am I really a bully? Sure, I have a tough exterior, but I can be sensitive if I try. Well...maybe...I don't think I've ever really tried. But I'm sure I could be.
Brace face. Sassy. Bully. God, I hate all of those names. They just remind me about how much I hate myself.
Summer
Zack Mooneyham. It's a lovely name, isn't it? What about Summer Mooneyham? Does that sound good or just stupid? Summer Hathaway Mooneyham. It think it sounds wonderful.
Ha! Who am I kidding? There is no way on earth that Zack Mooneyham likes me, Summer Hathaway. No way. I wish he would, but he doesn't so for now I just dream.
