Seven Minutes in Heaven
I walked down the school hall quietly with the sound of my black high heels clicking through the empty way. It was my first day at a large high school, located in Sleepy Hollow, and I couldn't find my first class, government.
"There's got to be 300 classrooms!" I yelled at the red and black lockers. I was already five minutes late and my black and red plaid mini skirt was riding up. I looked down at my schedule and lightly tugged my skirt down.
"Well that's attractive," a deep voice called to me in a playful tone. I turned quickly and saw a gorgeous boy.
He had the emo look to him, tight pants, black shirt, hair eating face, and luscious eyeliner covering crystal blue eyes. His hair was pitch black and he was about 6 foot, lean and muscular.
""H-hi, "I stammered. I played with the strings on my corset-like shirt and swirled my curly black hair nervously.
"Are you new here?" I nodded yes while still playing with my hair. "Good because I must've been blind to not see your gorgeous green eyes around." I blushed and smile. "They really stand out with the heavy eyeliner."
I blushed even darker and said, "Thanks, you too. I'm Kat."
He walked toward me and replied, "I'm Nicholas, nice to meet you." He grabbed my hand and kissed it. "So where you headed to my lovely Kat?"
I sighed and said, "I'm trying to find the stupid Senior Government room." He laughed and pointed to the door on my right. "Wow…I feel like an idiot…"
He laughed and opened the door for me and I walked in. He waved good-bye and shut the door.
"Well hello there," The stern-looking teacher said harshly, "Have you decided to join us?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, I'm sorry it's my first day and I was totally lost."
The teacher rolled her eyes and said, "I don't really care now sit down!" I looked at the woman horrified and she pointed to a seat and yelled again, "Sit or I'll put you in detention!"
I walked to the seat and decided that this teacher and I would NOT be getting along. Throughout the detailed lesson of the two political parties, Democrats and Republicans, the blonde boy with gold eyes next to me kept trying to slide a not to me. Finally I grabbed it and read the nice cursive handwriting.
Note: He, you're gorgeous! Sorry about Ms. Greybill she's a drag. Want to come to my party tonight? I'll be there and I would love to have you as my date…or I could just introduce you to some of my friends.
~Garret
I smiled at how innocent the note was a replied: I would love to be your date, thank you very much. Tell me when and where and I'll be there!
~Kat
P.s. Ms. Greybill needs some help or some PMSing pills :)
I passed the note back and then he replied: 7 at my house, 1313 Sleepy Hollow Lane, See ya there sexy!
He passed the note back and after I read it I just smiled at him a stuffed the note into my black tote with red broken hearts on it. Finally the bell rand and I walked by Garret's side while we walked out the door and down the hall.
I had my bag at my side and I was looking at Garret's gorgeous golden eyes when I ran into someone. An "ooph" escaped my lips as I hit the ground.
"God today sucks!" I yelled as I lay relaxed on the ground. "Well I think it's quite lovely," a familiar voice said. I looked up and say Nicholas.
"Well hello there," I say happily.
"Hey," he replied happily. "I'll see you later." I nodded ok as he stood then helped me up.
"Thanks," I said as I brushed myself off. Nicholas kissed me lightly on the cheek then ran off in the opposite direction that I was heading. I looked around for Garret and saw him with a blonde girl so I decided to leave him alone and go to my second and last class of the day, choir.
I loved to sing, I ranged from a low alto to a high soprano. My voice was very rare and my old choir teacher thought I had the voice of an angel.
I walked into the room early and no one was there so I sat at the piano and started playing Moonlight Sonata. The eerie but beautiful sound rang throughout the large room and I started singing along to the harmony.
"Beautiful and talented," a female voice said smoothly. I looked around and saw an older woman with grey hair in the corner. "Are you my new student?" I nodded. "Would you like to join the sopranos?"
I smiled happily and said, "I can sing either alto or soprano so whatever you need me more as, I'm good to go."
She smiled sweetly and replied, "Ok, well today we're just going to sit and talk about out musical goals and we're going to listen to everyone sing and rate them. And I'll decide from there where I feel you should be placed."
'Thank god today is Friday, I am already sick of school and it has only been one day!'
The bell rang and students started sitting down in the ugly plastic black chairs. I sat down in the back row on the far left side and noticed that mostly guys were around me.
'Well at least this school has hot guys!'
The grey haired lady stood at the front of the classroom and started to talk, "Welcome to choir, I'm Mrs. Joshton. Today we will be listening to each other's voices and we will be rating everyone from on to ten."
She passed out a piece of paper with about 20 names on it. We started on the right side of the room where a girl, Samantha, stood and sang Wake up Call by Maroon 5. She didn't have the best voice so I gave her a 6.
We went through a few more girls with voices of about 8 when a young girl, looking to be a freshman, stood and sang Ave Maria beautifully with no unusual breaks in the song.
I quickly put down a ten, right after she sang a familiar blonde girl walked in on her cell phone. I recognized her as the girl who was with Garret earlier.
"Cynthia…good to have you," Mrs. Joshton said in a tense but happy tone.
She nodded and started singing a song my Paris Hilton. I wrote down a 4 by her name as she sat in a chair next to a brunette boy. For the next hour or so everyone went. Their voices ranged from 7-10. Many of the guys had extraordinary voices and I was looking forward to hearing the harmony of the group.
Finally it was my turn. My stomach clenched but relaxed as I started the first notes of Bring Me to Life by Evanescence. I was about half way when a guy came in on the male parts of the song.
I looked around and say the brunette boy, which Cynthia had sat next to, standing and singing the harsher parts of the song perfectly. Finally when the song came to the male solo and the emo scream, the brunette did it all flawlessly.
We finished the song in perfect harmony. Everyone one clapped and Cynthia stood and kissed the brunette and said, "that was amazing Nathan!"
Nathan turned around a looked at me with a smile. He was gorgeous! He had emerald green eyes surrounded by black eyeliner and his hair hung loosely in his face, framing it perfectly. He had baggy jeans with a red and black checkerboard shirt that hugged his body tightly.
"Sorry but I had to join in!" He said with a grin on his face.
"It's fine," I said calmly. "I'm happy you joined in we sounded amazing together!" I smiled at him as Mrs. Joshton said, "That was beautiful! May I see you two after class?" We nodded. "Nathan would you like to sing again, you don't have to though."
Nathan smiled and said, "I would love to sing again." I sat down and listened to Nathan sing
"Well that's everyone," Mrs. Joshton said breaking the spell over me. "You may talk for the rest of the time."
I stood and reached for my bag. I didn't reel is so I turned and looked for it, but to my horror, it wasn't there! I sighed and said, "I bet I dropped it when I ran into Nicholas."
Nathan looked over at me and said, "Nicholas? You know him?" I nodded and replied, "Ya he showed me to my first class."
"Hah! You much be the hottie he was telling me about!" I blushed.
"How do you know each other?"
Nathan laughed and then Cynthia butted in, "They're best friends…and brothers! Duh!" She rolled her eyes and walked off.
"Sorry…I'm new," I said completely embarrassed.
"And you're kind of clueless," He said in a laugh. "So you lost something when you ran into my bro?" I nodded and said, "Ya, my bad, but it's ok I don't need it, I'm going to go home now."
"You're out already!" He said completely shocked.
"Ya, I only have two periods a day. So I'll see you later."
I waved bye then walked out the door as the bell rang.
"Wait Kat!" Nathan yelled. I turned as everyone else left. "We still have to talk to Mrs. Joshton!" I turned and walked back into the room toward her.
She smiled and said, "Thanks for staying, so what I wanted to talk to you about is…" She was making a dramatic pause. "…Would you two like to do a duet together for the talent show?" She was so enthused.
Me and Nathan looked at each other and at the same time said, "Sure!"
I walked out the door with Nathan by my side. I waved at Mrs. Joshton right before we were out of sight.
"So what you doing tonight?" Nathan asked as we walked toward the parking lot.
"Partying, you?"
His eyebrows perked as he said, "You going to Garret's party?"
I nodded and asked, "Ya…are you?"
"Nah, I'll be crashing it. Garret's group and mine hate each other.
'Well crap…I don't want the hot brothers mad at me because I'm Garret's date!'
I looked around and saw my gorgeous black Ferrari with red pinstripes surrounded by astounded high schoolers.
