Class 2013! Chapter 1:
MPOV:
Hi! My name is Mandy. I am a senior at Western Tech! I have a lot of friends here like Nick, Devin, Sara, Rachel , Chelsea, and Kristen. Nick and Devin are the captains of the football team and all of us girls are on the cheer leading squad. I am the captain because I am the most flexible. It has some perks like being friends with the whole entire football team, but you have to keep up your grades, which is not a problem. But I also have a different side to me too. Even though I am always energetic with my friends, I am really lonely and quiet. I try to do my best everyday, but sometimes I am not the best. It is almost the end of November, which means homecoming is in two weeks. The squad has been preparing this all year long and we plan to kick this year off with a bang! I just hope nothing goes wrong before then!
I wake up to the sound of a country music station on. I jump up and go downstairs to make coffee. I live with just my dad, since my mom passed away 5 years ago from cancer. My dad is always working and is always away so I am by myself most of the time. I threw on my boots and went out to the barn to take care of the horses. We have five horses, and they are all spoiled. I fed them and let them out for the day. My dad and I own a 100-acre farm with a big barn and a huge house. I rode the four-wheeler up on the hill to watch the sun rise. It is always really pretty in the morning. I was drinking my coffee, when I saw a guy at the bottom of the hill working on the fencing. He looks pretty young, maybe my age, and hes really cute too. I looked at my clock and it's 6:30! Holy shit! I am going to be late! I rode back to the house as fast as I could and threw on a pair of skinny jeans, a blue shirt, my sneakers, and some make up. I put my hair up in a pony tail and grabbed my bags and ran out of the house. I own a dark blue cougar, which was my cousins until she gave it to me. I got in and put it in drive. I drove as fast as I could on the back roads until I got to school. The girls were all in the parking lot, waiting for me. I got out and ran over to the girls. Luckily it is Friday, so we don't have practice today. I gave everyone a hug. We were all talking, when someone came up behind me and grabbed me by my waist. I turned around and it's Nick. He is my only real best friend, since he actually knows about my life. But he is too much of a flirt.
We walk into class and take our seats. Even though it is Friday, it will still be a slow day. My classes went on for like ever! Especially in French and Math. But the day finally ended and we met up at our cars once again. Sara kept on talking about buying dresses, so we all decided to go the the mall tomorrow. I don't like malls, but I deal with it. Nick decided to come home with me, since my dad is away this weekend. We got in the car and we started to have an argument about the radio station, even though I always win. It is really funny when we fight.
We finally got back to my house and it seems really quiet for some reason. Nick looks at me and ask "What's wrong?" I go to the barn and take a look around. I look in each of the stalls, and there's a fox! Holy shit! This is not good! Nick comes in with a shot gun and hands it to me so I could shoot it. Luckily, I am a good shooter. I shot the fox directly in the middle of the fore head. Nick comes over to look at it and then says "You did a really good job. I'm amazed. I don't want to be shot by you." I laughed and then picked up the fox and took it out back. I don't have any ideas what to do with it, but I will come up with something!
We went in and chilled on the couch. Nick was hungry, so he ordered a pizza. He always seem to be hungry. Nick went upstairs to take a shower, so I went out and brought in the horses. I also fed them and filled their water buckets. I heard a car pull in the driveway. I wonder who that can be! I turned around and a tall guy stood in front of me. He is kinda tall, kinda muscular, has short brown hair, is wearing a plaid shirt and some old ripped up jeans, and has a baseball cap on. He is really cute! He looks down and then grabs the one bucket from my hand. He says "Let me help you out." I smiled and he put the bucket in Beemer's stall. I stood up and said "Thanks a lot." He smiles and says "Hi, my name is Will. I heard some gun shots up here and I was wondering what was going on." He looks very familiar, like I saw him somewhere. I got it! He is from this morning; down by the fence. I shook my head and said "There was a fox in my barn, so I shot it. It's out back if you want to look at it." He shakes his head yes and I lead him to the fox. He looks at it and smiles and says "Well you got a good aim. Have you been at the range?" I shake my head no, since I have not been to the range like ever in my life. He picks up the fox and carries it to the back of his pick up truck. It is a ford 3-50, just like mine, except for his is red and mine is black. He hands me a piece of paper with his number on it and says "call me, anytime. Oh, and what's your name?" I answer "Mandy Crockett is my name." He pats my shoulder and says "I'll be seeing you around Crockett." I smile and wave as he drives off. Nick came outside and asked "What happened?" I shake my head like it was nothing as I wait for the pizza to come.
We finished eating the pizza and we laid in my bed. I was laying on Nick's stomach as we watched some old cartoons that we used to watch as kids. He is like my older brother to me, even though he also treats me like his girlfriend. It is a love hate relationship. I started to get goose bumps because I was cold, so Nick hugged me and put a blanket over me. He is like warm blooded or something because he is always warm! It is a plus in my book! I cannot get Will out of my head. He was so kind and sweet too. I wonder if we can ever be friends. Nick noticed that I was day dreaming, so he picked me up and threw me on top of my bed and jumped on me. He sure likes to play with me! He picked me up again and sat me in his lap. I started to fall asleep a little bit. When I was drifting off, I can hear Nick say "Good night sweetie. Sweet dreams." I feel him kiss me on my fore head and then I was knocked out! I hope I can sleep good tonight!
