Chap 1- How it all began
"Shut up you stupid alarm clock" and that was the first thing I said that day. I woke up and right opposite to my bed was my huge dressing table in my obnoxiously huge room. For a few minutes I couldn't stop staring at my self. "Why? God, why? Why do I have to look so bad on my first day as a senior?!" Did I mention how unfair my life is? Oops, ok I didn't, so here goes my flash back:
My mom is an Indian and my dad is British. They met each other in Germany when they were working there as aeronautic engineers. My mom was an extremely intelligent engineer and so was my dad. My dad is very handsome too, he has dirty blond hair, deep blue eyes and a perfect skin tone (not too pale and not too tan). My mom on the other hand, had been an Indian miracle. She had shinny black hair, her skin color was olive and she had and still has a perfect figure. As for her eye color, it was sea green, which is extremely rare for Indian women. The only draw back she had was her height, she was only 5.3. Well anyway, when my parents met, they feel in deep love, and they got married after two years. Thinking about it, their life seems quite perfect… unlike mine.
After one year of marriage, they had a baby, and that baby was unfortunately me! Did I mention how hard it is to be the only daughter of two engineers? Well I am not sure if all engineers are like this, but my parents are; they move, every once in a few years. For them it is extremely comfortable, well not for me. Since kindergarten, I have been moving schools once in two years. The bad part about this is (not that there is anything good about it or anything) I have to change schools. This is how it goes: I move schools, it takes me 2 years to fit in and get friends and then we move again. In this process I loose contact with my friends and I have to go through this whole process again and again.
Coming to my looks; even thought my parents are extremely good looking, I am not! My hair is dark, dark brown; it's straight at the top and then curls at the very bottom. My skin tone is like my dad and my features are like my mom; sharp Indian features. The worst part is I am very small made, comes from my mom's side I think. I am only 5.4. Well, technically speaking, my mom is shorter than me, but still, I have always been the shortest in my class since grade 4 (and trust me, that is not a good thing). My grandma always says that I am a rare beauty, but I don't trust her. Guys don't even LOOK at me.
Even though my mom is Indian and my dad is British, we have lived in America, since my birth. I am not a very popular person in school, no matter which school I went to. I just hung around with a few girls. I never had enough time to find a best friend and form a deep relationship. Importantly, I am 18 years old and never had a boyfriend before (don't u dare laugh!).
Right now I am living in Australia. I came here when I was in grade 11. Now I am going to grade 12. Truthfully when I came here, I hated this place whole heartedly. Not anymore though. I actually love this place and the school here, is the best school, I've ever been to. I have some good friends here; Nicole, Kira, Yoona, Jones and Dan. Nicole is my best friend (finally I have a best friend, haha.) She has this bubbly personality. She is also very cute looking. She is always cheerful and extremely understanding, she is the type of person who will always be there for you and support in every situation. Next is Kira; she was the first friend I got in Milton High school (which is the school I am going to right now). She has an unbelievable character; she is extremely quite and yet the bitchiest girl in class. Dan, also one of my close friends, is her boy friend. Even though she has a boyfriend, she flirts with every guy in the class (good looking or not, that doesn't matter. She is Japanese and Dan is half Chinese, half American. Yoona is the best friend of Kira. She just hangs around with us because of Kira (that's all I have, to say about her). At last Jones is a very strange guy (not sure about the guy part though.) Jones and I are really close friends. He unlike other guys in the class always hangs around with the girls. He is quite gay, but I am not sure about that because one minute he is attracted to a guy and the other to a girl. Well, well.
Now a little bit more about me; I am smart, something I am very happy to get from my parents. My favorite subjects are science and English. I am a teacher's pet. Every teacher in the schools knows me and simply, adores me. I am a book worm and I love reading classics, romance and supernatural books. Except for the 5 of my friends I mentioned before, all the other people I know in my school, are people who ask me for help during class projects and home works.
Now back to present "CARMEN!! Come down here this instant! You are going to be terribly late, on the first day of the year." That was my mom.
"Coming mamma!" I took a quick shower, put on my best clothes and I was out in 15 minutes. My mom was sitting in the dinning room, along with my dad having their diet breakfast.
"Goodies moms and dads!"
Dad dint even look at me, being busy with his paper work and breakfast "You'r going to be late Carmen, get going and good luck for this year."
"And by the way Carry…" my mom said with her musical voice, "come back soon today, me and your dad will be out the whole night, don't get yourself into trouble, cause we wont be there to rescue you."
I don't know why she says that. She knows that I am goody-two-shoes and never gets into trouble. Well anyway.
The weather was bad that day, it was way too hot. I decided to go to school in the black sports car (by the way we have 8 cars…). As soon as I parked my car my best friend joined me. Nicole with her cheerful mood, chirped "Omg! I can't wait to get my schedule! Carry, can u BELIEVE that we are seniors now. Wow! Everything is just so wonderful"
"Yea sure Niks, it does seem to be a good day and hey, would u like to go get our new schedule with me?"
"Sure thing C, lest go!"
Suddenly I herd a manly voice behind me "Oh no you don't! You guys are not going to start ditching me on the first day of school!"
"Haha, hey Jones, you can come with us too.), I said smiling broadly.
All three of us walked to the main office and we met up with Dan, Kria and Yoona there. Oddly the six of us were the only students there. I wonder if we were late or too early (because I can never trust my mom, with timing. She is a punctuality freak, and she changed my dad too). We were standing in the counter collecting our schedule when the door of the office opened and he came in, followed by a bunch of crazy girls. Who came in? Oh that was Chase; the best looking guy in school. He was so gorgeous I had a crush on him before, but stopped when I came to know that he was dating a girl named Kathy, from our class. Every girl in school drooled over him. He had blond hair, green-blue eyes, perfect features and not to mention perfect height. He is the best swimmer in school, but he is not just good at swimming, but also in every other sport that exists.
"Sports? Yuck! I hate sports" That is how I am.
He came in gave us all a warm smile. Even though he is extremely popular he is not so mean or obnoxious. "Hi Carmen!" yea that was him, saying hi to me. We knew each other since, my first day of school. Last year we practically had every class together, EXCEPT physical education. Thank god, for that! It would have been way too embarrassing to be in the same class with the best athlete, when I am surely the worst.
"Carry, do we have English and science together?" he asked sheepishly.
"Oh wow! I think we do haha"
"You are soo good at those two subjects; you make me jealous some times…" he said, with a huge grin on his face.
"Oh…thanks..." God! I hope he didn't see my face when I said that, I blushed hideously!
"Would u like to walk to Science with me?" I was having a hard time hiding my laughter from the girls standing behind them. They were so mad at me; I could see some of their eyes watering with jealousy. "Sure, let's go!"
"Meet you guys at math!" luckily, I had math with Niks and Jones. I cannot go through that boring subject without some one to talk to. And trust me Jones is the best person when it comes to entertaining people. I waved at all five of them and left with Chase to my first class of the day. Heavenly science!
Hi guys! Please review! I will post the next chapter right away!!
