Peacock EMHS
(Elementary-Middle-High-School)
By: Christina Amaral
Rosemary and Jean:
"Ha! You can't catch me!" Lynn yelled at Rose. Rose was the older sister. She was always taking care of everything. Nobody ever gave her a break. She was the heir to a royal throne and yet she never got a break. Rose was always the one who had to save the day. At least that was what it was like in the summer. During the school year Rose and her family went to California to live in their mansion and live a normal life. There Rose was left to her own devices. There she was happy.
She had a best friend named Jean, who had dirty blond hair and brown eyes. Rose liked being with Jean Fowl because she would always listen. At her California school nobody gave her a second glance. Or well, nobody would if she hadn't been the prettiest girl in school. With her pretty, smiling face. Her tanned skin, brown hair and brown eyes. Even Jean didn't know that she was a princess. She did do pretty weird things on holidays and nobody saw her or talked to her in summer, but Jean thought that was perfectly normal. Rose had always been like that.
Rose decided that she wanted to go to boarding school the summer before 7th grade. Jean's parents were sending her and if Rose didn't go with her she would be stuck with Bella Divaila. Bella was the most popular girl at George Washington Elementary School. The two girls despised Bella.
Rose went to California early on a private jet alone with the crew. Well her bodyguards came too. Rose went to the mansion and was supervised by only her bodyguards and her valet. (He was her everything servant but not really her "valet".) Her valet was a handsome man about 25. He had a few tricks up his sleeve for assassins and murderers. The valet's name was Stephen. One of her bodyguards was a girl about her age, except she could knock someone out without touching them. She had brown hair, and green eyes. Her name was Elizabeth and she was Stephen's daughter. The other bodyguard was a man named Butch and, as the name suggests, he was no handsome prince that you would love to see coming towards you in the streets. Rose had one or two other friends at GW ES. (If she had stayed in California for 7th grade she would go to middle school.)
Arriving:
It was almost the end of summer and Rose and Jean would be leaving soon. They would have to leave Wendy, one of their good friends. The day before going to boarding school, they were up in Rose's bedroom. Rose's bedroom was a beautiful sky blue. It had her bed, a computer, her recording studio, and a tiny room for her dog Ellen. Rose and Jean were packing Rose's stuff in her two large suitcases and a duffel bag. Jean packed her stuff in a duffel bag and a suitcase. They had gotten a picture album of kids that were going to the school and a few boys were okay looking, the pictures said their names were Brad Frost and Keith Carret. They finished packing and started to talk.
"Don't you think this will be great?" Rose said
"Not really, we won't know anybody." Jean replied, she was not the optimistic one.
"Whatever, you'll see!" Rose said signaling the end of the conversation.
The next day they left unaccompanied from the L.A. airport. It was a five-hour flight; they instant messaged each other and other kids on the plane. Finally they arrived at the Dulles Airport in D.C. it took a while to get out of the airport. They took a cab well actually two, to carry all the stuff. They finally got to the school which was called Peacock EMHS™.They shared a dorm room. The room was so cool. They had bunk beds, a kitchen and a bathroom, with two of everything. The room was a pretty green. By the time they had gotten unpacked, it was dinnertime. The fridge was stocked with everything that you could think of to drink and snack on; the only problem was there was no mealtime food. It was time to go shopping, they shopped and shopped and then they collapsed on the sofa. Then Rose cooked and Jean made the salad. Then they picked beds and then got ready to go to bed. They were in their pajamas when someone knocked on the dorm door. Their neighbors were boys! The boy's names were Tom Hoppus and Mark Delonge and they were very nice but they acted like twin brothers. They were horribly silly and talked too much. Rose and Jean were soon good friends with Tom and Mark. They knew that Brad Frost and Keith Carret lived in the dorm across the hall. They went to their rooms after talking for a half hour.
Pranks and Classes(Brad and Keith):
The next morning they were awoken by a ringing noise. It was just the alarm…
But they had not set an alarm! The immediate answer was Mark and Tom. What? The boys were so nice; they would not have done it. Rose jumped out of bed and opened the door.
The day Brad Frost got to his new boarding school was a Sunday. He came with his best friend Keith Carret. Keith was obsessed with girls and singing, mostly girls. The first thing Keith saw was the two girls across the hall. Their names were Rose Barker and Jean Fowl. Keith thought they were beautiful. Brad did not tell Keith but he thought Rose was somewhat cute. Keith of course thought that Jean was cuter. The next morning Keith woke Brad at 6:30 am. Brad was not very happy and almost kicked Keith. Keith wanted to play a prank on the girls. He wanted to take his bullhorn and sound it right outside the girl's door. Therefore, they went over…
Rose pulled open the door, and saw two boys. She grabbed their bullhorn, and then invited the boys in side. The boys followed her inside her dorm. The first thing she did was toss the bullhorn in the trashcan.
"Hello! And you are?''
"Brad Frost. And you are Rose Barker? Right."
"Keith Carret- Rose, my dear."
"Uh I think we all know my name now. And I suppose it was amusing to wake two girls up, Keith."
"It was Brad's Idea!"
"It won't do you any good to lie."
Jean entered the room.
"Jean, Look who I found. Brad Frost and…"
"Keith Carret, I heard. Nice of them to drop by, Right Rosie."
"Right Jeanie!"
"Can Brad and I go now?"
"No, I think you will make us breakfast."
"Thanks a lot Keithie"
"Same to you Bradie"
Rose handed Brad an apron.
A half hour later, a knock came on the door. Brad and Keith had already left. Who could it be? Jean looked through the peephole.
"It's Bella!"
"So let her in."
"Ok!"
Jean opened the door and a brown-haired, blue-eyed, diva walked in.
"Hi Girls! You look like so totally cute today!"
"Hi Bella!"
"Have you met those two like totally absolutely gorgeous guys Tom Hoppus and Mark Delonge?"
"Umm…Yeah."
"I am so sorry you were not part of my group at GW ES."
"You mean your HSB peeps."
"Jean!"
"What are you guys like talking about? It's like totally not about me is it?"
"Of course not."
"Good! Have you looked at your classes yet?"
"Not yet."
"But we will when you leave."
"Ok I am going to leave soon! I just wanted to give you guys my number. It's (304) 442 9853."

Lunch
12:00-12:45
Their fist class, history started in three hours. Therefore, Rose suggested they go to the lounge. Once there they looked on the bulletin board. There was a dance on Friday. Whom would they go with? Rose fell back into the beanbag chair she was sitting on with a sigh.
Would you… Dance?:
"What am I going to do Keith?"
"Brace yourself and ask her."
"Who are you going to ask?"
"I already told you."
"I forget, what did you say?"
"I'll give you a hint. The person you're asking is her best friend."
"Jean then."
"Si Senhor!"
"I can't believe I am asking anybody to the dance! Especially Rose!"
"Go ask her already!"
"Oh Ok."
Brad ruffled his hair and ran out the door…
Jean was out getting a manicure. Rose was silently fretting about the dance while messaging Wendy, who was back at home. She was telling Wendy about the dance when she heard a small knock on the door. She told Wendy she would BRB (Be Right Back) and she ran to the door. She opened it and it was Brad. He tried to talk but all that came out was,
"Willyougotothedancewithme?"
"I'm Sorry?"
"I said 'Will you go to the dance with me?'"
"Why Brad!"
Then she fainted.
In the Emergency room Jean was sitting in a corner biting her nails and looking very white. Brad was looking at Rose from his chair in front of the bed. Keith was sitting next to Jean trying to comfort her, but failing miserably. Moreover, Rose was of course in a bed, in the emergency room, as she had fainted. They were there for about an hour when Rose gained a bit of consciousness, she said
"Yes!"
And fell back again.
Meanwhile back at school, History had begun.
"I am Mrs. Humphrey. I am sorry to say but four of your classmates are excused from class as one has fainted."
"How terrible!" Alison Erie cried
"How Awful!" Amy Crock exclaimed
"How Stupid." Zac Finderly scoffed
"Zac! Detention now!"
"Fine!" Zac said
That is the class! Zac is somewhat cute, but not very respectful. Alison is nice but also a bit bossy. Amy is nice but when she gets mad watch out. On to Biology.
The four were still absent. We know most of the class but I will introduce the rest. Marshall Purcell was a total jock who has a crush on Bella. Maria Smith is an overly nice girl who was often taken advantage of. May Kennedy is a perfectionist and a very annoying person. Rose and the crew were back. The first thing Keith did was ask Jean to the dance. She of course said yes, so the arrangements worked, the only problem was random boys kept asking Rose and Jean. Chuck from one of their classes once came up to Rose.
"Hi Rose!"
"Um... Hi Chuck."
"I was I was I was I was just wondering if you…wanted to go to the dance with me."
"I'm sorry I am going with Brad!"
"Okay."
"Sorry!"
"I didn't want to go anyway..."
They had missed everything except Free Time. Free Time was pretty much recess but it was called Free Time. Older kids spent Free Time or FT with their Boyfriends/Girlfriends. Keith and Brad ran of to prank people, Big Surprise! Rose and Jean fell in to surprisingly soft chairs on the school's 7th grade porch. They started to complain about the huge amount of homework, when two cute boys passed. One of the boys happened to be Zac. Zac flashed Rose one of his signature smiles and winked. She quickly looked away when he winked and looked at the bulletin board. When he had passed, she sighed and closed her eyes.
