Lately I've been obsessed with this movie. I absolutely love it, cuz it's so funny and entertaining. I just couldn't seem to couple the charcters with each other though, because none of them seemed to fit right. So, I wanted to create my own little charcter, that I thought could maybe fit right in that missing space in my mind. I hope someone likes this...maybe. Anyways, maybe if anyone wants me to keep writing this, I'll write up another chapter. Please review and tell me your thoughts - IHeartGlee1996
Don't Doubt The Unexpected
Chapter 1: Unexpected Arrival
I admit that I've been moody since the day I've arrived here, which was exactly 2 days ago. If you were to ask me why, I'd give you a perfectly reasonable explanation. Afterall, I had more of an arguement than my parents did. They did kinda rob me of everything I used to have in Columbus, Ohio.
1. They seperated me from my best friends in the world. Who could ask for greater friends? Lauren and Mike were the coolest people I ever had and ever will meet. They were amazing and we shared so many laughs and memories. Now, well now I could hardly see them. At most I'll be able to visit them once every 1 or 2 months, but that's just not enough! Sure I can call them and stuff, but just not physically being with them...it's just so...so...so ugh! Well, it just annoys the heck out of me.
2. I now have to start a new life here. Thanks a lot mom and dad, for taking away everything I used to have. Now I don't know anyone here, I don't have anything to do, and I just don't feel like I belong. I may seem like I'm being a brat, but seriously, it's just awkward being the new kid. Who knows, maybe I won't even fit in right. What if the kids at my school are total weirdos or bullies?
3. They never asked my opinion. Hello? Do they not care what I think about all this. Now I would've been okay if they asked how I felt about it, even if they refused to change the inevitable anyways. At least then, I would've felt as though they cared and considered it. But no, they didn't even think of asking me about it first. And that is why this move totally sucked.
"Honey? School starts in 30 minutes. You don't want to be late on your first day." How does she know what I want? I want to be late o my first day. In fact, I don't even want to go...ever. What I want is to go back to Ohio, where my home is.
I clutched the plaid bow attached near the collar of my dress shirt, and messed with it a bit. I tugged at the trim of my skirt and let out a loud sigh. Eww...I hated uniforms. They took away all ability to express yourself. So much for first impressions while wearing this thing.
"Honey, come over here." Mom called. Reluctantly, I made those few steps towards her. She sat with a big grin on her face, grasping a brush. A comb, hair tie, and a few bobby pins sat in front of her, on the cream colored counter. I rolled my eyes and paced towards her, knowing that the next few minutes of my life was going to be torture.
I squeezed my eyes shut, hating the next few seconds of tugging and pulling.
"There. All done. Now don't you look so pretty!" She squealed, despite my grumbling. Seriously? She knows that I don't like this kinda stuff! I hate buns. They make me look too old for my age. I'm only 10 years old! My scalp was sore from the tight bun on my head.
"Oh no. It's already that time?" Mom exclaimed, making a huge grin appear on my face. Maybe just maybe, I'd be lucky enough to be too late to go to..."We'd better hurry in that case." She grabbed her keys off the counter. My smile quickly fell as she dragged me to the car.
"Excuse me?" I called politely, pushing the door to the principle's office open. A tall lanky woman with shoulder length hair and worry lines (porbably from stress) on her forehead, stood near the big desk, lecturing a little boy about running in hallways. She put up a single finger and mouthed "just a minute", not bothering to even give me a glance.
"Next time I catch you running in the hallways, , I will send a call home to your parents. Is that what you want?" The little boy's eyes were full of fear as he rapidly shook his trembling head. Wow. Strict school. They must torutre their students or something. This was not at all what I was used to. My old school was a public school, so we could freely have our limited amount of fun. The amount of fun I could possibly have at this school, seemed to reach 5% max, and that was not good at all.
"I'm sowwy ! I'w neva do it again!" The little boy cried before disappearing as quick as he could when dismissed.
"May I help you?" I flinched at the sudden question, expecting this lady to start screaming her head off at me for no apparent reason. Oh no. She already had me all shooken up, and I didn't even do anything yet. This school was going to totally suck.
"Oh...Uh...Um..." I stammered, I breathed a sigh and settled for a weak "Yeah" in response.
"Are you here for another teacher complaint? I don't have any left. All the rest of the students have already taken them." Seriously? Shows how miserab;e the teachers are making them.
"No. Actually, I'm Rachel Brown. I'm a new student here." I explained. She stared into my eyes with a blank expression for a while before opening her mouth wide to breath an "Ah" She snatched a few papers from atop her desk and held her hand towards me. In confusion, I shook it, hoping that that was what she expected me to do.
"Yes. I'm the principle, Ms. Mullins. Miss Brown, it's a pleasure to have a student such as you in Horace Green. Welcome. If there's anything you need, please don't hesitate to ask." Ms. Mullins greeted. I quickly nodded my head
"I don't really know where my classroom is." I stated. In response, she flipped through the pile of papers that she was holding, stopped at one, and skimmed through it.
"Ah, yes. Please follow me Miss Brown." I bit my lip and followed Ms. Mullins as she paced down the hallway. This was not at all what i was used to. No colorful, exciting, welcoming hallways. The halls were a boring teal and white color, with nothing fun hanging on them. This place was so boring. This was no home...I already hated my life here and I was only starting my 3rd day. A fancy private school meant stuck up kids that I'd never be able to be-friend. She stopped at a classroom near the end of the hall and pushed open the door.
"Hello kids." She greeted. "." The teacher was a small blond haired woman with clear blue eyes. She dressed in a flower print skirt and a pink collared shirt. She wore magenta glasses and had her hair tied up in a high ponytail. I tugged the bobby pins and hair tie out of my hair, letting my loose dark brown curls fall to my chest.
"I would like to introduce a new student. If you would, please give a warm welcome Miss Rachel Brown." I glanced around the room, feeling uneasy as I met the gaze of my classmates. Why did I feel so out of place? It was as if their eyes were burning through me. It felt disgusting to have this much attention. Sure, I like being entergetic and I always was cheery and had a lot of attention, but this was different. Ther in Phio in our small clssroom, it was home, I knew and loved everyone. Here, it was as if I was an intruder to their home. I didn't want to be. If I could, I would scurry out of this classroom, running as fast as I could. In fact, out of this state, back to where I belong.
"Ah, Miss Brown. Please take a seat next to Mr. Mooneyham." She directed, pointing to a dark haired boy, sitting near the back of the room. I uncomfortably shuffled my feet towards the empty desk and took a seat. I frowned as I looked at the kids surrounding me from each side. They all sat stiff, quiet, and disciplined. I rested my hands on the desk, totally ignoring the teacher, Mrs. Coralyis, who was further introducing me to the class.
"Hey." Feeling a bit shocked, I whirrled my head to face the person who actually decided to speak to me. Maybe it wouldn't be so hard to make friends?
"I'm Zach. Rachel, right?" The boy introduced. I nodded and smiled the biggest smile I could manage.
"Yup. Nice to meet you!"
"Same here. Where'd you come from?"
"Columbus, Ohio." I answered. And wow, do I wish I was able to stay there.
"Why?"
"Why what?" I question, in confusion.
"Why do you wish you were back there? You don't like it here?" I gasped, realizing that I actually said that aloud. It's not like I was trying to be offensive. I just love Ohio and everythign in there. It's my home. It's where I belong.
"I miss everyone." I stated blankly, tearing my gaze from ther boy...Zach.
"Ohio sucks, dude. New York is so much better!" The boy from behind Zach smirked. The boy had blond hair and deep sea blue eyes, and wore a cocky expression on his face. I wanted to slap that smirk off his face at this instance, but fighting in class on my first day didn't seem like the best idea.
"No one asked you so shut up!" I fought back, feeling deeply hurt. How dare this brat actually insult my home. I just stated how much I missed it and loved it, and he has the nerve to say that?
"And if I don't?" He laughed. I felt my whole face light up bright red as I serached fopr something to say. I couldn't find anything to say that wouldn't make me sound like a huge idiot, so I kept my mouth shut and turned foward. Even though I tried my hardest to shut it out, I could still hear the obnxious mocking laughs from the blond boy.
"Zach!" I called, trying to catch up to the boy who was a few feet away. My one and only friend in this whole school. And no, I don't consider the blond brat a friend. More like an enemy. He stopped for a few seconds, allowing me to run to his side.
"Where are you going?"
"Oh. I've got band practice."
"Band practice?" I questioned, "You're in a band?"
"Yeah. It's pretty cool. We're called 'The School of Rock'. The whole class is in it. Well, with the exception of you now." Now I felt even more out of place. But that's what I was, an outsider. As long as I was here, I'd always be on the outside. It was inevitable.
"Cool." I managed to squeak in reply.
"Do you want to come?" My face automatically lit up and I smiled a big smile. Would I? I'd love to.
"Sure!"
