Chapter 1 of I Am What I Am

I sat in my first period class. History. I was about to fall asleep. This class was so boring and to have it first period sucked even more. I laid my head down on me desk and closed my eyes. I wouldn't miss much; we were only watching a movie.

That's when the door opened and the outside light filled the dark room. I opened my eyes and saw a girl walk in. She was hot.

I watched the girl walk over to the teacher who was sitting at her desk falling asleep herself. I watched the new girl and watched as the teacher pointed her finger at me.

I raised my head and stared at the teacher. Why was she pointing at me? I have no clue. "Carlin, raise your hand." She commanded

I sighed as I raised my hand. The girl started to walk over in my direction. Then I realized that the seat next to was empty. I sat in the back. I never sat up front unless forced. That's where the nerds sit.

Me? I wasn't a nerd. I was more of a girl who didn't really care about school. I was there for my friends and my parents.

I took my hand out of the air and placed it back on the desk. I looked over at the seat next to me and realized that the new girl was going to sit there. I hope she wasn't some preppy bitch from California. But hey, knowing my luck, she is.

The girl sat down. She was wearing a jean skirt and a tank top. Yup, she has prep written all over her. Apparently I was staring at her because she rudely said something to me, "What are you staring at?"

"Nothing." Was all I said. I can't believe she's talking to me like that. It's bad enough that my best friend is pissed off at me too. She can be an ass herself. I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, and happened to take it out on her. My bad.

That's actually a bad problem with me. I take my anger out on my friends. Which aren't a lot, but hey, they're there when I need them. But my best friend, Daniele, gets the worst out of it. I've known her since like birth! Well no, that's a lie. Only 4th grade. But hey, it feels like it.

I laid my head back down on my desk. I sighed and pulled out my cell phone. I probably should apologize to her before she gets too pissed off at me. I raise my head back up and hide my phone behind the smelly dude in front of me. I mean come on; he could at lease use deodorant!

I feel the new girls' eyes on me. I smile a little bit but I don't know why. I mean, she was a bitch to me. This earlier. Whatever. I glance at her and she doesn't even turn away. What is her problem? I shook my head and continued to text Daniele. Im sorry for being such a bitch to you this morning. I know that you were just trying to help and I took it out on you. Sorry.

I put my phone back into my back pocket. I leaned back in my chair and stared at the screen that had the movie playing. What is this? Apparently we're learning about Rome or Jews or something like that. I didn't care to pay attention when she was talking about the movie.

I look over at the new girl. Looks like we have something in common. She looks like she's asleep on her desk. I look up the aisle when I heard someone making their way back here. It was the teacher.

I looked back over at the new girl and then to our old teacher. It would take her about a million years just to make it back here. She's slower than a snail on speed. And she looks like she was alive when the Dino's were.

I, without thinking, shake the new girl. That's another thing I do a lot. Don't think. Ha, but I guess that that comes with being a dirty blonde and the youngest child out of 3. Right, my older siblings. I have two brothers. But 18 years old. Im 16 and only a sophomore here at our high school. The Cobras is our mascot.

I got a little off track there. So, I shook the girl until she jerked her head up, "What?" She asked rudely again

"The teacher is coming back here. She saw you and apparently thought that you were sleeping." I told her with an attitude. I leaned back in my chair, "But yeah, im sorry if I woke you up from your beauty sleep. Which you need, by the way." Damn it! I really need to think about what im going to say before I say it.

I feel her glaring at me. Great, I already made a new enemy. But this one was different, this one was hot.

So, the ancient teacher finally made her lazy ass to the back of the room. "Ashley, I don't know how they do it back in California, but this is not how we do it here in Ohio. You may not sleep in class." She made her point clearly and walked back to the front of the room

The bell rang as I turned to; I think her name was Ashley. "So, you're a California bitch." I said standing up and grabbing my back pack.

"And you're an Ohio bitch." She shot back

I stood there for a moment. She was walking away. Wow, I never thought that that would happen. That actually never happens.

I make my way up behind her and making our way out of the room. She turns in the other direction of me. I watch her and apparently she felt me watching her because she turned around and glared at me.

I laughed to myself as my phone started to vibrate. I took it out of my back pocket and saw I got a text message from Daniele. I read it as I went to the bathroom. I really don't want to go to math today. I'd probably just fall asleep. So, I decide to try and hide out in the bathroom. When I got to the bathroom, I read the text, it's cool. Was all she said.

I sighed and dialed her number. Im calling her now as I pace around the bathroom. They really need to clean this dump out. She picked up, "What Spencer?" She says rudely

"Damn, why is everyone on their last nerve with me today?" I asked pissed off. I stopped and looked into the mirror. I look at my reflection and see a blue-eyed blonde girl that has a white tee on with music notes on it along with a guitar. I look at my skinny jeans and then down to my black converse. I sigh as I listen to Daniele talk.

"Maybe because you're a very bitchy person." She laughs a little so I decide to laugh a little. "And where are you Miss Carlin? Math is about to start and apparently we have a new student."

My mouth dropped. She is not in my math class too is she?! Wow, if every morning was going to go like this, I don't think I could go on living. "Im not coming. Im hiding out in the bathroom." I smile at my plan when a teacher walks in. "Shit." I say quietly

"Miss Carlin, aren't you suppose to be in class right now?" She asked me with her hands on her hips

"Danny got to go. Bye." I say hanging up my phone and putting it back in my back pocket. "Um," I look at the teacher, "Yeah I was just on my way." I say as I exit the bathroom.

I could not get sent to the principles office today. I wasn't already having a shitty day. That would make it worst.

I barely made it out of the bathroom when the bell rang. Damn it, im late. I sigh and realize that there is no rush to math class. What am I going to miss? How to add x and y? Yeah, I learned that last year.

At least our school isn't really big. But we do have some people who think that they rule the school. Those people are the Cheer bitches. I don't like them at all. Cheerleading isn't even a sport. Well it was to my last girlfriend. Oh yeah, did I mention that I was bi? Well, now you know.

I play basketball for my school. The only team or school sprit as it gets. I laugh a little as I finally make it into the math hall. I sigh as I see my destination. I open the door and everyone stares at me. The only part I hate when I come in late.

"Spencer, that's the third time this week." The teacher says to me as I walk into the room

I smile a little, "And that's the third time you've told me that this week." The class laughed. I thought it was clever.

"Take you seat, Carlin." He said continuing his lecture

I turn to face the class and I spot Ashley. Unbelievable. She sits in front of me now. Damn it. I walk by Daniele and I gave her a stupid smile. It made her laugh which made the teacher turn around, "Spencer, how long does it take for you to take your seat?" He asked getting impatient

Im walking as slow as I can, I turn around and stare at him, "How long does it take for you to get a life?" Haha, third time this week. Apparently I wasn't the only one who thought it was funny. The class was laughing along with me. I look at Ashley who was laughing a little too. I smiled to myself.

"Sit, now." He commanded

I hurry up and take my seat behind Ashley. As soon as I do she turned around, "Are you following me?" She asked with raised eye brows and the corners of her mouth turned up.

Was she flirting with me? I didn't care, I took the opportunity to flirt back, "I only follow the ones who piss me off." Ok, so that wasn't really flirting, but hey, its only 9 something and I ain't going to try too hard. She's probably straight anyways.

"Oh, so I pissed you off?" She asked

She had the most gorgeous brown eyes I've ever seen. Her brown hair framed her face perfect. I could smell the lavender on her. I smiled at her and didn't say anything.

She smiled back and turned back around. She was a very confusing girl, but I like it.

The rest of the day went normal. Go to my classes. Learn something and then forget it when exiting the doors. Go to lunch and sit with my friends that I pissed off this morning. Then go to the rest of my classes. I didn't have Ashley in anymore and I was kind of disappointed. But I just wanted the day to be over, I wanted to go to practice.

When I got to practice, most of everyone was already there. Daniele and our other best friend Nicole were all on the team. Nicole we met freshmen year. She was the new girl last year. She kind of stuck with us and became one of us. So, yeah, me and Danny consider her as a best friend. But not as a best friend like us.

A/N Ok, so how did you like that? Tell me if you liked it in your reviews.

Oh, and if anyone was wondering, I changed Spencer a lot. Haha. Well, maybe not a lot, but yeah, she's a punk girl my story. :) Anyways, review! Let me know if I can go on!
