Hello, I'm Shannon Davis. I'm no one, well actually I am someone, and I am a fool from this little town called Converse.
No one really knows me here, they just know that I'm a person that always makes a fool of myself and hurt myself. It's not that fun to be this fool, but that is just how they know me. Every time you go around and ask "hey, do you know Shannon?" they will be like "oh, Shannon... that idiot, right?" It hurts sometimes, you just be the one that being teased and stuff. Well, in that case maybe I can't really change anything, it just happen. Enough about my stupidness, it's embarrassing.
Today as usual I go to school with my Volvo, nothing really stands out from me than this car, I mean it's a Volvo, really, I can't afford this car but I win it from a TV show, how lucky. As usual I park my car and grab my bags and stuff. Something unusual happens, there's this person calling me. Maybe its not weird for someone else to be called, but in my case no one ever talked to me.
"Hey, you're Shannon right?" the pretty girl ask, she was the most beautiful girl I ever seen
"Um, ya... what's up?" I reply, trying to be nice, even though I was kind of amazed
"Well, um, hi I'm Marie, Marie Scott,"
"Oh, hi Marie, can I um... Help u?" I'm still confused
"Yes, if you don't mind, would you be my 'map' today? I don't really have friends yet,,"
"Um, ya sure,, no big deal" I answered
"Well, what should I call you? Shannon? Or maybe you have another nickname?" she asked
"Since I am a girl you can call me shann or Shannon, but I prefer you to call me Shannon though"
"Cool, okay then Shannon" she smiled
A low voice interrupts us
"Marie, don't forget to call Katrina, when it's almost after school time" a boy with dark brown hair said
"Why? Cant I ride home with you?" Marie don't look so happy
"Well, first because I am your brother not your driver, besides I want to check out this town" he said and smiled to me
"Well, Drake I know you are my siblings not my driver, what so hard about dropping your sister home?" she asked
"Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend here? She's kind of hot" he smiled to me again, he's so handsome that I don't have any strength to not smile back to him
"Oh yeah, Shannon this is my stupid brother his name is dumbass," Marie look mad
"Seriously, my name is Drake, Nice to meet you Shannon" he rolled his eyes and smiled again
"Well, aren't we supposed to head to class now?" I ask them
"Yeah, you are right,, don't want to be late on the first day" she said still with a bit anger
Three of us walk pass the parking lot and headed to the class, I'm curious about Drake, because he's following me and Marie, is he in the same grade as me?
"Marie, are you in my grade?" I ask
"No, I'm not,, I'm in a higher grade,, I'm older. But, drake is with you, he's in the same level as you" she said
"Yup, baby. I guess we have some things together aren't we?" Drake winks and smiled at me
"Stop doing that Drake, I'm sure Shannon already have her Boyfriend so let's not ruin her relationship" Marie doesn't seem so happy about Drake trying to be close to me
"No she don't, she's waiting for me to come, right baby?" He smiled again
I just smiled at his joke, I'm sure he doesn't really meant it, I mean seriously a hot guy like him should find someone that is way prettier than me. But what if he really means it? A stupid voice in my mind comes up with that question. What if I really could be with him? That voice again. Marie's voice brings me back to reality that I was dreaming of.
"Are you in a relationship Shannon?" Marie ask again
"No, not really.. I'm not that attractive you know, so I don't go too close with the others. You guys are maybe the only one that chat with pass the few years" I smiled, I'm sooo lucky to be friends with them, at least with drake
"I told you Marie, she is mine... So, when can we go out?"
"Shut up Drake, before I kick your stupid ass, she's not like that ok?"
Marie snap
"Well, sorry then... Don't be so sensitive ok? Are you having your period?"
"Drake you are such an ass, for god sake can you just shut your mouth up? I'm getting impatient here" Marie walks away
"Shannon, am I that annoying?" he asked, he seems upset
"Well, you're kind of annoying somehow, especially if said the things that you just said to your sister, I mean, you're a guy... It's not that comfortable if you say such things"
"Well, who cares she's just my stupid sister, oh well let's just go to class now" he said with a sad tone
