So I just got off the longest Writer's Block in the history of writer's block, I just. Anyway, I'm off and with a brand new story! It's based on a book named Emma by Jane Austen which I read over the summer. If you have read it, have fun trying to find out who is who! If you haven't, I highly encourage you to! It's such a great book.
It always seemed as though CeCe Jones had it all. She was beautiful, funny, smart (most of the time), popular, and rich. Her little floral skirts and blazers always stunned people as she strutted through the halls of John Hughes High. Me? Well, I'm just a mere gossiper reciting it to you as I heard it. All of this may or may not be true, but judging by the outcomes, most of it is probably true. See, this whole drama blossomed when Rocky Blue enrolled here.
Before Rocky, CeCe was already at the top as mentioned before. She had all the ingredients needed to rule the school. She even had two snobby sidekicks, Brianna and Amelia, a rich father who owned just about the coolest mall in town, and most of all, she was the school's best matchmaker. Seriously, she could look at a person and find them a perfect match within a minute. The weird thing was that we never saw her finding a perfect match for herself. She told everyone that "mama only eats after all her children get fed", but we all think she's a little apprehensive and doesn't want to be thought of as vulnerable. But when it came to the school body, she was basically Cupid. She thought she was so good, she wanted to strive and set up her own online dating service, but when she explained it to her father, he thought she was crazy.
The story actually starts a few months ago. CeCe, with her lilac summer dress, walked, almost modeled, through the halls, admiring her work of various couples completely indulged in each other thanks to CeCe. She smiled at the love through the halls, and then her sidekicks seemed to appear by her side.
"Ce, you know that cute guy in our Chemistry class?" Brianna asks the excitement in her voice overflowing.
"Josh Michelson?" CeCe asks, making sure that's the person Brianna was talking about. She nods, her lips curving upwards.
"Hmm…" CeCe says, putting her Matchmaking mode to work. Josh was extremely cute, he was smart, and he seemed to like Brianna from all the stares lately. "Sounds like a perfect match! Go for it, sister!"
"Thanks, Ce! I knew I could count on you!" Brianna exclaimed, and then ran off to find Josh. That left Amelia and CeCe to walk the rest of the way to History class. Little did they know, CeCe was just about to find her new matchmaking target.
CeCe walked through the classroom door, and plopped herself on any old desk she found. She usually sat in the middle, because the back screamed "thug" while the front screamed "nerd" and she was neither. The bell rang, and she immediately dug through her book bag to find her notebook to act like she was paying attention in class. Her eyes wandered around, watching everyone briefly. Nothing new about anyone lately. CeCe was starting to get bored; when was something going to change in this prosaic school? The next thing she new, her answers were answered when someone walked in. CeCe could tell she was new; her scared eyes looked all over the walls, her hands clutching her books. CeCe became intrigued by her; she wasn't like any girl who had showed up here. She was different, and better in a way. Then she got an idea; maybe she could use her matchmaking skills to help her find a boyfriend and show her dad that she truly is gifted! It was a win-win situation.
The 50-minute felt like a century long, and it felt even longer knowing CeCe had to know more about the new girl, whose name is Raquel. The bell finally rang, dismissing the tired students. CeCe was quick on her feet, packing up all her stuff and heading to Raquel's desk, where she was still packing up vigorously. CeCe stood in front patiently, until Raquel finally finished and looked up to see the red-head beauty waiting.
"Uh, hi?" Raquel said to her.
"Hi, I'm CeCe. Nice to meet you!" CeCe said, extending her arm to her and smiling. Raquel had no other choice but to shake the random girl's hand.
"I'm Raquel, but you can call me Rocky." Rocky said. Sliding out of the desk, and now standing.
"Rocky. That's a cute nickname! My name is a nickname too. It's actually Cecelia." CeCe explained, trying to make conversation as they headed to the cafeteria.
"I like it." Rocky complimented, smiling at CeCe. "I like your dress, by the way." Rocky added.
"Thanks, it's from Paris." CeCe said. Then, she looked over at Rocky, trying to find something that she really liked. Her jean vest and army jacket didn't really match CeCe's girly taste, but she decided to lie. "I love your vest!"
"Thank you!" Rocky replied, and just like that, Rocky was lured into CeCe's matchmaking experiment.
The rest of the lunch period consisted of CeCe constantly trying to compliment Rocky, trying to get on her good side, and lucky for her, she was eagerly accepting them. Maybe because it was her first day, so Rocky desperately wanted friends, but for whatever reason, it was working.
"Hey, why don't you give me your IM screen name?" CeCe asked Rocky. Rocky was more than happy to write it on CeCe's hand. CeCe smiled sweetly at her new friend, who happily skipped away after saying her goodbye to her new friend. For CeCe, this was great. Her plan was slowly taking action.
Okay, I know it's really stupid right now, but that's because the boys haven't entered the picture yet. ;) [it will be RTD] Just stay put. Review and tell your friends!
