I sighed as my dad pulled up in front of South Park High, today would be my first day in a new school, in a new town, and in a new state.
"Have fun, Sweetheart." My dad said, kissing my forehead.
"I will, thanks, Dad." I said with a slight blush, I was fifteen now, I was much too old to be treated like a little girl by my dad. However, I didn't say anything, I didn't want to upset him. He was still upset over the divorce, and the littlest things could make him cry.
Yea, my dad was super sensitive, but that was one of the many things that made him the best dad in the world.
As I walked towards the school building, I straightened my pony-tail. I felt slightly disgusted when I felt the natural oils from my hair collect on my finger tips. My hair tended to get greasy very easily, I had just showered yesterday, and already my hair was nearly oily enough to look wet.
I walked through the school doors, where groups of students were divided up into little cliques, talking amongst themselves. None of them noticed me, not that I minded though, I hated attention.
I walked until I reached the restroom, I figured that maybe I could wet my hair in the sink, that it would help with the oilyness.
When I looked in the mirror, brown eyes stared back at me. My eyes were nothing special, they weren't a unique colour, and they weren't super large or anything like that. They were just two, average sized, round brown eyes, the only thing that made them slightly less boring, but worse than average, was the fact that my left eye was slightly bigger than my right eye. That wasn't the only asyemetrical part of my face though, my left nostril was also slightly larger than my right one.
I let out a sigh, I hated looking at myself in the mirror for too long, my forehead was too small, my face was too high up, my chin was too big, my lips were too small, my body didn't fare much better. I had a really short torso, like so short the bottom of my ribs were barely an inch away from touching my hips. I also had long, thin, arms and legs, which wouldn't have been bad if I didn't have so much weight on my mid-section. I guessed I was just disportionate all around.
"Hey, who are you? You don't look familiar." I heard a voice say, I jumped slightly and turned around to see who had spoken. I found myself looking at a petite girl with curly blonde hair, large, light green eyes, full pouty lips, the kind of girl that guys went gaga over.
"Oh, um I'm Gretchen, I just moved here from Oklahoma." I said shyly.
"Oklahoma huh? What was it like in Oklahoma?" She asked.
"Pretty boring honestly, I think the most exciting thing that ever happened in my town were tornado warnings, however, no damage was ever done. The worst thing that happened was the sky darkening, and the wind blowing slightly harder than normal, however, that was it. It was pretty entertaining though, seeing everyone on the block run out of their house with their cameras ready to take videos of the action." I said with a slight laugh. That's how it was in Oklahoma, whenever a tornado siren went off, which it did A LOT, there were always people out there with their cameras.
"Oh, we don't really get tornados where, just a lot of snow storms." The girl said.
"Really? It doesn't really snow much where I'm from, it DOES snow in Oklahoma, but not a lot in my area. The weather is pretty bipolar there, one day it could be like 30 degrees, and the next it could be like 60." I said.
"At least you get a variety, it's just snow all the time here, except during the summer when it's intense heat, intense cold, intense heat, that's all we get here. Anyway, I'm Bebe." The girl said.
"Nice to meet you." I said with a smile, I couldn't believe that it was only my first day, and already I was having a conversation with another student! At my old school, I didn't really have any friends, the only time people talked to me, was when they wanted me to help them with their school-work, however, that all stopped when I found out that they were talking shit behind my back. I may have been a shy, timid, slightly awkward teen, but there was no way I was going to take that shit lying down. I wasn't anyone's bitch, especially not the bitch of a bunch of idiot kids who didn't know which hole to shit out of, and which hole to talk out of.
The bell rang right then, and I let out yet another sigh, I seemed to be doing that a lot today, as I looked at my timetable, I saw that I had History first.
"Hm History, Mr Gas is pretty cool, he does have a tendency to start telling stories about random stuff. Just wait until you hear the one about the time he accidentally found fish porn while trying to look up how to make sushi." Bebe said with a laugh as she peered at my timetable over my shoulder.
"Fish porn?" I asked with confusion.
"Yea! I don't know the details, but apparently, people have sex with fish." She said.
"What? How the heck does someone have sex with a fish?" I asked, feeling both disgusted and curious.
"Beats me, my guess it that some chick shoved a live fish up her snatch and let it wiggle around in there." Bebe said with a shrug before adding,
"But look, we better get going now, I can walk you to Mr Gas' class if you'd like." Bebe said.
"That'd be great, thanks." I said with a smile. When we reached the History classroom, I let out a small gasp, and I had to steady myself when I saw the most exquisite person I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Straight black hair, framed a pale heart-shaped face, and I found myself lost in soft, ocean blue eyes.
