If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

I had just gone for a two-week trip from my grandmothers in Los Angeles. To be honest, I didn't spend very much time with my grandmother. Most of the time was spent at the beaches surfing and playing beach volleyball. I wanted to enjoy it while I could. There were absolutely no beaches back home in Las Vegas with waves big enough to surf on. Today was my first day back in town... Technically yesterday was, but when you get back in at eleven at night, it doesn't count. Lighters by Eminem started playing, letting me know it was 7am and time to get up. I reluctantly rolled out of bed, literally. I landed on the floor rolled up in a huddle of blankets. I stood up, untangled myself from the blankets then headed off to the shower. I came out twenty minutes later smelling like Satsuma and feeling squeaky clean. I combed out my hair and put a de-frizzer in it then left it to dry. I put on some cover-up, mascara, eyeliner, and a bit of red lipstick. I went over to my closet and flipped through it until I came upon a pair of black skinny jeans and a black camisole. Over top of that I put on a navy blue cardigan and a long, knotted, gold necklace. I walked back into the bathroom and brushed my straight white teeth. I put on my black ray ban glasses over my eyes. My eyes were an odd color. They were very bright green, but the had a black ring around them. If you looked closer, you could see that it was an extremely dark blue that faded slightly into the green in tiny lines. I fluffed my golden blonde hair slightly. It was wavy curly from my natural curls. I was pretty sure it would be dry when I got to school. I headed downstairs and grabbed breakfast then headed off to school. I arrived and parked my beat up old car between the popular and the jocks in my usual spot seeing as I was sort of both. As I looked around, I saw how badly it stuck out and couldn't help but laugh. I grabbed my volleyball bag from the back seat and my purse and binder from the front seat then walked inside. Smiling and waving at the people I recognized. I headed straight for the girls change room to throw my bag in my locker. When I walked in I was surprised to see Liz there. Liz was my best friend; she was one of the popular groups and tried to stay away from the gym as much as possible. "LIZ!" I screamed and ran and hugged her. "KARINA!" she yelled back with a grin. "I haven't seen you forever man!" I said and looked at her. She looked exactly like she did before I left. Her hair was still, long, straight, and black. Her blue eyes were just as kitten like as before. What did I expect? Leave for two weeks and she'd be a new person? Nope! I like the normal Liz best. "So what did you do on your trip?" Liz asked as I put my bag in my locker. "I went to the beach lots, I practically lived there... and I went to a couple concerts." "Concerts? Beaches? In L.A.? Details!" she demanded. "Well, the concerts weren't that different then the ones here, but the beach was amazing. I got to surf!" Liz laughed "you and surfing! I swear your half Hawaiian or something." I smiled" surfing is the best, Hawaiian or not!" The warning bell rang, signaling that it was time for us to leave. "Bye!" I called to Liz and ran out of the room. I had two minutes to get to class, and the chemistry room was on the other side of the school. I wasn't a school freak; it was just that, being late for Mrs. jones class meant missing after school activities, which for me was volleyball. I had already missed two weeks and didn't want to miss more practices during the week before the tournament. I ran as fast as I could, the classroom door was just insight as the bell rang. I ran through the door right as the bell finished ringing. "Your late!" Mrs. Jones growled, looking at me over her old lady glasses. "Go get a late slip!" I rolled my eyes and left the class, heading towards the office. Five minutes later, I was turning around the corner to the office. I waited a little ways behind the desk for the guy that was standing there to be finished. It seemed like he was signing papers or something. From behind him, I could tell that he had blonde hair that in a way you could call curly, but it was too short to actually curl. It was more like wavy. He was rather heightily, When I looked straight at him, I was looking at his neck. He was wearing a plain black t-shirts, jeans, and a white toque thing on the back of his head. It clearly wasn't to keep his head warm, just to look cool. He turned around and bumped into me. I looked up at him. He had extremely blue eyes; the further you looked into them the bluer you saw. "Umm, hello." he said to me with a velvety voice. I blinked "uh hello," I replied. "Sorry I need to uh..." I had totally forgotten what I was there for. I caught sight of the late slips in the corner of my eye "Get a late slip! Yep, that's what I was here for." I told him nervously and stepped around him. He didn't say anything before he walked out of the room. I filled out the slip then hurried back to class. I handed Mrs. Jones the slip and sat down at my lab table at the back of the class. I noticed a new textbook sitting on the other side of the table along with a new chemistry set and microscope. They weren't exactly 'new' but they clearly hadn't been used yet this year. "Hey, uh, did someone leave their stuff here?" I asked. Mrs. Jones turned her, beady, grey eyes on me. "No Miss Vincent, we have a new student and will be your new lab partner. He should be along shortly." I frowned slightly, I hadn't had a lab partner all year and I was sort of liking it. As she finished what she was saying, I heard a knock on the door. Mrs. Jones stomped over to it, the heels of her Mary Jane's clicked on the alabaster colored, tiled floor. She opened the door and the guy I had seen at the office walked in. "Class, this is Will he is new." she said and pointed to the seat beside me, meaning for him to go sit down. Will walked down the hallway and sat down beside me. "Hello again." he said. I looked over at him "hello... um, I'm Karina." He nodded "nice to meet you." "WILL! KARINA! IS THERE SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE?" Mrs. Jones snapped. "No." I mumbled. "Keep it that way and start paying attention" she growled. The rest of the class went by very slowly and very quietly. I was almost sure that the bell was broken when it rang. "See you!" I called to will. I jumped off the stool and walked out of the class. As I was grabbing my books out of my locker, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I jumped slightly and spun around, seeing Zack standing behind me. Zack was probably the most popular guy at our school that was probably because he was the captain of the football team... Why was he talking to me? I wasn't exactly unpopular, but usually the football team didn't talk to me, especially not the captain. "Hey Karina, sorry for scaring you..." he brushed his dark brown hair out of his face, showing his ocean blue eyes. "But I was wondering if you were going to my party with anyone?" "Depends, are you asking me out?" He nodded "yes." I smiled "well, I am now." Zack laughed, "Awesome, I'll pick you up at seven." I kept smiling "cool, well, see you tonight."
