Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting
Mid Literature class, I got bored of listening to Mr. Ryan drone on about the dullest book in the history of ever, A Separate Peace. Why were reading a book for 9th graders, I'll never know, but Sean Ryan is a strange man. Hes not that much older than our class, but hes been teaching here since he graduated, three years ago.
Anyway, out of boredom, I looked around the classroom for a distraction. I stopped when my eyes landed on a poster across campus. It was huge, and had four faces on it. I smiled slightly. It was to promote a gig in the auditorium tonight, McFLY's gig. Of course, there are only about five people who know the real reason the show is being held here, and the rest of the school thinks its because we won some kind of bogus radio contest. No, one real reason is Dougie attended school here and is coming back to visit old friends. Which are really only me Kristin and his little sister Jasmine, at least the only ones who still concider him just Dougie. He's not 'Dougie Poynter from McFLY', he's just the kid who got caught egging his 6th grade teachers car before he even threw the first egg. The second real reason is Tom's little sister, Carrie, goes here too, and he wants to see her without being accused of visiting a secret girlfriend or something.
"Ms. Mead, whats your opinion?" Mr. Ryan asked, snapping me out of the memory of Dougie holding an egg in the air while Mrs. Karp walked out of the school building.
"My opinion is that Gene is a jerk." I responded, having no clue what we were talking about.
"Okay, Lucila , but why do you think he jounced the limb to make Finny fall?" He asked, confused. Wow. My random answer kinda made sense.
Before I could elaborate on my b.s.'ed answer, the bell rang. I pushed my pen into my ponytail that was controling my long brunette curls, threw my books in my bag, and ran out of the room before he could stop me and try to repremand me for day dreaming. Luckly, that was 8th period, so I ran to my dorm room as fast as I could and beat Kristin there. I smiled to myself and jumped onto her bed and just laid there until she ran in. When she saw me, she sighed and threw her bag onto a chair on the side of the room.
"Guess I'm paying for dinner tonight." She grumbled. We have this little tradition that started 10th grade that whoever gets to the dorm last has to pay for dinner. I smiled and rolled off her bed, then put my bag next to my bed and turned my iHome on. The first song that came on was My Confession by Josh Gorban. I smiled and turned to Kristin who rolled her eyes, smiling at me slightly. I sang along wth him and serenaded her until she sighed and started signing along with me, serenading me back. Then the door opened and Jasmine Poynter walked in, but stopped in the doorway, looking at us oddly. The song changed to Home by Michael Bublé and we stopped singing and smiled at her, as though we hadnt just been singing love songs to eachother. She didnt move, then Kristin and I looked at eachother and started cracking up.
"Remind me to knock before I walk in here. That was weird." Jazz said, finally walking into the room, shutting the door behind her. She walked over and sat next to me.
"I've been keeping all the letters I wrote to you, each one a line or two, Im fine baby how are you?" I sang to her, one hand on my heart, the other held out to her. She rolled her eyes, but smiled. "See. Its fun to serenade people." I said and she laughed.
"Alright, pay attention now, would you. The boys arent allowed to talk to us until after the gig." She said, and I frowned. This makes things so much more agonizing.
"But... I want to meet Harry! I'm the only one who hasnt met the other three!" Kristin exclaimed.
"You get to meet them afterwards, but not before like we had planned." Jazz shrugged. Kristin thought about it for a minute, then smiled.
"SWEET! LESS MONEY I HAVE TO SPEND ON DINNER!" She cheered, dancing her way over to her dresser, then The Heart Never Lies came on. Jazz rolled her eyes.
"I'm leaving before the three of us end up sitting here singing my brothers song to eachother." She said, just as Kristin turned around and started singing Tom's lines to me, walking towards me dramatically slow. "You two should really join theater club." She shook her head from the doorway when I started singing Dannys lines and copying Kristins movements until we were standing togeather at the 'woah oh' part, then we sang the 'another year over' part together. "IM LEAVING! I'LL BE BACK IN 20 WITH CARRIE! YOU BEST BE READY TO GO!" When she shut the door, I burst out giggling and Kris shook her head at me and started rooting around her dresser for clothes. She pulled out a pair of slightly ripped shorts and a blue Fox shirt. She held them up.
"Think Harry will like?" Kris asked. I shook my head at her, smiling.
"Kris, you dont need to try to impress him. He'll love you no matter what you wear." I said and she squealed slightly and went into the bathroom. I laughed at her and pulled out a pair of dark shorts and a blue plaid shirt. I changed out of my shool pants and put on the shorts, then pulled the plaid shirt on over my school shirt. I left it unbuttoned, but rolled the sleeves up. Kris walked back out and smiled at me.
"Too lazy to get out of the uniform?" She asked. I smiled as I grabbed my black and blue stud belt.
"You know me." I grinned back as I put it on and fastened it, then put on my light blue converse hightops. Kris shook her head and grabbed blue star earrings and put them in before sitting down to put on her black converse that had blue splatters of paint on them... that i had totally nothing to do with getting on there...
Someone knocked at the door.
"Are you two ready! If we dont go eat now, we wont finish in time to see the boys!" Carrie complained from the hallway.
"Were coming!" I yelled and grabbed black and blue Ray Bans and rested them ontop of my head. "Is my hair alright?" I asked. Kris nodded.
"How about mine?" She asked, turning around to show me her braided light brown hair.
"Nope, you look like crap." I said sarcastically. Kristin turned around and glared at me, playfully, then gave me the finger and pushed past me to the door after she grabbed her hoodie. When she opened it, Jazzie, Carrie, and two girls were standing there. "Hi?" I asked, confused. Jazzie smiled.
"Hey, Im Theadora, but please, call me Thea." The smaller one said. She smiled softly and pushed a bit of her light blonde hair from her face. She was wearing a Bolton Wanderers sweat jacket that was zippered halfway up, a red shirt underneath, and a pair of denim shorts that came to right above her knee and had some rips in them. She turned her head and looked at the other girl, who smiled shyly and pulled at her red hair.
"I'm Bianca." She said, quietly. She wore a black zip-up hoodie that had SY on the collar and Fletcher on the back in red thread, a red tank top, and a pair of jean shorts. I smiled at both of them. Thea was obviously Dannys girlfriend, as Bianca was Tom's.
"Hey, I'm Kristin." Kris said, cheerfully, as I shut the door and we started down the hallway.
"And that means that you must be the ever-so-famous Luci!" Thea smiled, wrapping her arm around my shoulder. I laughed at how easy-going she was.
"Well, I dont know about famous, but I am Luci." I said.
"Well, your famous to us and the boys. Dougie talks about you. Alot." Bianca said in a soft voice. I wonder if shes naturally quiet or just shy...hm... wait.
"What?" I asked, laughing slightly. "Dougie talks about me? Oh god, that cant be good." I said, thinking about all the things we'd gotten in trouble together over thoughout our childhood.
"Even I know that hes not talking about those things, Lu. He's talking about how much he likes you!" Jazzie exclaimed, wrapping her arm around my waist so she was on the opposite side of Thea.
"Dougie doesnt like me." I protested as we got closer to the pizza shop on campus.
"I beg to differ. Tom bugs me to get you to talk to him so he'll stop talking about you. Though that makes him talk about you more." Carrie said. I shook my head. Dont get your hopes up, Luci. Hes your best friend. Their just misreading the situation.
We got to the pizza place and ate our fill, then Kris paid much to Thea and Biancas dismay. When we finished, we headed for the auditorium and got in before the place was too packed.
