CHAPTER 1: "Birthdays"
"Hi, Katie!" Summer Hathaway greeted her friend.
"Oh, hey Summer. What's up?" she asked while trying to organize her rather messy locker.
"Nothing much. Hey, do you know what today is?"
"Uh, Tuesday?"
"Funny. No, it's Zack's birthday. And by the way, Tuesday was 2 days ago." She said only to find Katie grinning at her.
"What?" she asked annoyed.
"You still remember Mooneyham's birthday. After all these years…" she teased. Today was Oct. 13 and, apparently, Zack's birthday. They were all in Horace Green High for their senior year.
"I memorize all their birthdays" she answered, shrugging her off.
"Okay, why?" Katie asked, totally weirded out by her friend.
"Because it was once part of my job…"
"Right, was, you gotta learn to let go, honey," she said, shutting her locker, finally realizing that the state of her locker was beyond repair.
"Yeah, well, bad habits die hard, right?"
"Oh, yeah" Katie replied, laughing.
"But I guess it was expected for the band to break-up." Summer started. "We were just so…different from each other. Like now, I'm the student body president, your all sarcastic-slash-kickin' songwriter"-"What?" Katie tried to protest, but Summer ignored her-. "Zack is a jock, Freddy's a jackass and…"
"Freddy's always been a jackass" Katie said a little too loud.
"Just can't help talking about me, can you, Brown?" a voice, unmistakably to be Freddy's, called out. He was with his dim-witted sidekicks who think they ruled the school just because they're friends with the royal jackass, one of them being Frankie.
"Yeah, I just can't stop obsessing over your grape size brain and humungous ego. I mean, who could possibly stay away from you?" Katie said sarcastically.
"Ouch, that hurt, right here." Freddy joked, pointing to his heart.
Katie rolled her eyes and walked away.
"Nice talking to you too, Brown!"
