Summary: Merci moved from TN to Hawaii just in time to start a new high school for her senior year. She makes new friends and enemies. She catches the eye of a few guys, but she is hiding a terrible secret. She doesn't want anyone to find out, will they?
Dear Diary,
Tomorrow is the first day of my senior year, I should be happy, but I'm not. I am pissed because my parents decided to move last summer which means that I didn't get to stay with my friends my senior year; I had to go to a new school. I knew no one and I wasn't happy about it. I had met my neighbor and she seemed nice. I was just grateful that I knew someone.
I missed home; we moved somewhere that was the complete opposite of home. I was used to being in Tennessee, not Hawaii. I was used to going to the farm after school and going home, not going to the beach. I even missed the cold, what little cold there was, and I used to complain about it every winter.
I just hope that there are cute guys here, other than on the military base. I was just grateful that my mom pushed for us to live in an actually subdivision and not on the base. I was already nervous about meeting people and if we had lived on the base it would have been impossible. I had a shot now at seeming normal.
The next day:
I got up and after finally deciding on what to wear; I was ready to go to school. I was grateful that my mom had bought me new clothes since we moved from always cold to always warm. I was also glad that my parents got me a car, well a truck, but I liked it.
I drove to school and pulled up. I was walking in and I seriously felt like I had a bull's eye on my back, everyone stared. I finally made it to the office and got my schedule and to make it more embarrassing; I had to wait for someone to show me around.
I was sitting there, watching my surrounds, and noticed that there were some cute guys. I was sitting there when a girl, who looked about my height, but a little bigger walked up to me. She was plain looking with brown hair and she seemed like the cheerleader type.
"Hi, I'm Mickie, I'm going to show you around." She said and stuck out her hand. I smiled, shook up and shook her hand.
"Hi, I'm Mercedes, but I go by Merci." I told her and she smiled. She seemed nice enough and I was just glad that I was dressed like her.
"Come on. You are in all the same classes I am in." She said after she looked at my schedule. We started to walk towards the first class; at least I knew someone, sort of.
Mickie POV
Merci was nice, but she seemed quiet. She had black hair and she was very skinny. I noticed that we had the same kind of style in clothes and I could always use another friend. We were walking down the hall and we went to our first class, English. I sat down and the teacher was handing her some books. She came and sat down next to me.
"Class, we have a new student, Merci. Be nice and Merci tell us 3 things about you. Stand up." the teacher said. Merci looked really nervous, but stood up at her seat.
"Um, hi, 3 things… I am from Tennessee, I have a cat, and I am 17." She said and sat back down.
"Looks like we have a country bumpkin in our class." Randy said and some people started laughing.
"Don't worry about him." Kelly leaned over and told Merci; Merci just smiled.
"I'm Kelly." Kelly said as she introduced herself.
We made it through class and I took Merci to where her locker was, and then to the next class. I was pointing out people in the hallways and she wasn't used to having a school that had outdoor lockers. She wasn't used to a lot of things that we do, but she seemed like she would fit in.
We went to History next and then it was lunch time.
Merci POV
I was grateful to Mickie for showing me around and I had met a few people. I had gotten through the day ok, so far, but I knew that lunch would be interesting. I went through the line and got water and a small sandwich. I was walking with Mickie when Kelly waved us over. I sat down by Mickie and Kelly. We were joined by a few other girls.
"Hi, I'm Gail and this is Melina, Christy (Hemme), and Tiffany." Gail said and I waved at them.
"I'm Merci." I told them.
"Cool name." Melina said and I smiled.
"Who is the newest angel at your table?" a guy said as he walked up behind Gail and I knew I blushed.
"Evan, this is Merci." Kelly said and I waved.
"Hi, I'm Evan and this is Phil, nice to meet you." Evan said and Phil waved.
"You too." I managed to say.
We were sitting there talking when Kelly started to tell me about all the people in the school.
"The table over there is the jocks, they are self absorbed. The next one is the artist, they are weird, next is the rejects, they are rejects, next is the punks, they are hardcore, and there is us, we are awesome." She said and I was laughing.
"Where are the rest of the students?" I asked her because there didn't look like that many people in the cafeteria.
"Oh, this is just the senior cafeteria." She said and I nodded. Kelly and Melina told me who to watch out for and who was a bitch. I was grateful for the info.
Lunch went by too fast and we went to our next period, which was government. I was so bored, but I was passing notes with Mickie. I kept seeing familiar faces, so it was getting easier to know people.
I was so happy that the final class came and I was glad that it was drama. I wasn't fond of drama or being on stage, but I needed it to graduate. I was glad that Mickie, Tiffany, Kelly, Gail, and Melina were in the class with me.
We were sitting there talking after the teacher had gone over everything and told us what play we were doing. I was sitting there talking with them when two girls walked up; they didn't look friendly.
"So, you're the country bumpkin, Randy was talking about?" one of them asked.
"Guess so." I answered and Mickie didn't look happy.
"Why are you here with these losers?" the redhead asked me.
"Because I would rather be with a loser who will tell me to my face than a fake bitch who will stab me in the back." I answered and everyone looked at me in shock. The redhead and the blonde glared at me and walked off.
"Nice come back." Tiffany said and I laughed.
"Every school has some." I said.
"Well, we probably have more than we need; that was Maria and Michelle. Maryse, Layla, and Alicia are the other ones. They are think they are popular, but in truth they are just sluts." Melina said and I nodded.
We got done with school and I was walking to my truck.
"Merci!" I heard Mickie calling and I turned around.
"We are going shopping, you wanna go?" she asked me.
"I can't; I have to be at my lesson tonight." I told them and she looked at me, strange.
"I am earning my degree in jujitsu." I said and she nodded.
"Well, how about after? We all have to eat." She said and I smiled.
"Sure." I told her and we swapped numbers. I told her I would call after my lesson and headed towards the dojo.
I walked in and met my new instructor. I was told where to change and got ready. I did well and he was impressed with what I could do; he was the owner of the dojo. I changed and came out to see when my next lesson was. We decided on Tuesday nights and he also offered me a part time job. I needed the money, so I accepted the job. I knew that if I had a job, I didn't have to be at home so much.
