"Sylvia, you're going to be late!" My mother shouted from downstairs.
I groaned and rolled over, forgetting that I was on the top bunk and falling off the bed. I yelped as I hit the ground.
"You okay?" I jumped; my dad had a way of popping up whenever you least expected it.
"Fine daddy," I said as I jumped up off the ground and smiling at him. He smiled at me and left.
I grabbed some breakfast and ran out the door, my mom had been right I was going to miss the bus if I didn't hurry.I sat down on the bus next to one of my best friends, Bailey.
Bailey was a small quite girl with big glasses and messy blonde hair, she was a really great person though, if you could get her out of her shell that is, literally and figuratively.
"Hey Bailey," I said, smiling, "Get any new projects over the summer?"
Bailey was the smartest kid in the whole school, she always had some project or another, and I guess she got it from her folks, they were both scientists too.
"No," she pouted, "Dads working on some huge top-secret project and won't let me in the lab 'til it's done."
"Can't you just use the school's lab?" I asked.
"Are you crazy?" She said, "That lab isn't nearly advanced enough to be of any use, the tests I run would probably destroy the whole building!"
"So?" I said, "If you blew up the school you'd be a hero, and since you did it in the name of science you couldn't even get in trouble!" She snorted.
"Are you sure you were raised by cops?" she said, "Blowing up a school is vandalism, no matter if it was an accident or not."
"Relax, I'm just kidding," I said, "Besides, you can't blow up the school on your first day; you have to wait at least two weeks." She frowned and pushed her blonde hair out of her face.
"It's not funny," she said, "Honestly, it's getting to where I can't tell when you're kidding or not, Sylvia."Just then our other friend showed up and sat in the seat in front of us.
"Hey Mary!" I said, smiling.
Mary was a rather large girl, and she was also quite loud. She had curly brown pigtails and large blue eyes that never seemed to be sad, she wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but she was a great friend anyway.
"Hey guys!" she said grinning.
"Your happy today," Bailey commented.
"Dad just got back from," she paused, thinking for a minute, "Well, actually I don't remember where, but I know it was far away."
"That's great!" Bailey said, "So are you guys excited for high school?"
"No," I said.
"Why not?" Bailey said.
"It's school!" I said, "Who could ever be excited?"
"Well I can't wait," she said.
"That's just because you're good at school," I said, "We're not so we believe that school is torture." Marry nodded her agreement.
"Well think about all the cool things you can do in high school," she said, "Maybe you could be a cheerleader!"
I turned to Mary, "If I get put on the cheerleading squad, do me a favor and kill me."
"Oh come on," Bailey said, "It can't be that bad."
"Trust me," I said, "Cheerleaders are evil."
Then the bus pulled into the parking lot and we headed for our first day of high school. We all got our schedules at the main office.
"Cool!" Bailey said, "All my classes are AP!"
"That's great," I said surveying my own schedule. I had average classes, but that was fine by me, less homework.
"When do you guys have lunch?" I asked.
"After second period," Bailey said.
"Me too," Mary said.
"Cool then I'll meet you guys there," I said.
Then we all split up and headed to homeroom.I had Mrs. Crabgrass, and no that's not her real name but her real name is too hard to say and she's really cranky so all the students call her Crabgrass.
"Molly Accerbonie," She called.
"Here," Molly said, she was the reason I hated cheerleaders so much; in first grade she made fun of Bailey's glasses and I punched her. We'd hated each other ever since. She had curly blonde hair and blue eyes and was a spoiled brat who got whatever she wanted; lousy cat.
"Sylvia Cooper," Crabgrass called.
"Here," I said.
"Kyle Mouse," she said.
"Here," Kyle said. I liked Kyle, he was a nice, and I'd known him since kindergarten. He had messy brown hair and big brown eyes, his ears were pretty big too and he was kinda cute, in his own, mousey way.
"Madison Brown," said Crabgrass.
"Here," said Madison, she had red hair and green eyes, I didn't talk to her much but she was nice enough, very loyal, which I guess was to be expected since she was a dog.
Crabgrass finished calling role, then handed us our locker assignments.
We left the class and went to put our stuff away, I had Kyle on one side and, well actually I didn't know who was on my other side, I'd never met him before.
"Hey," he said, "I'm Leo."
"Hey," I said, "I'm Sylvia."
Leo was hot-I'd be in denial if I said otherwise-he had black hair and grey-blue eyes, he was also wearing a letterman's jacket, so I knew he was a football player too.
"See you around," he said.
"See you," I said, as he walked away.
"Hey Sylvia," Kyle said.
"Hey Kyle," I said.
"Do anything fun over the summer?" he asked.
"Not really," I said, "I got my second degree." I've been in Karate since I was two, and was now a second degree black belt.
"Awesome!" he said.
"You do anything?" I asked.
"I went visit my cousins in California," he said, "But that was more torture than fun."
"Oh come on, it couldn't have been that bad," I said.
"Do you have any cousins?" he asked, I shook my head, "Well then you have no idea how bad they are." I laughed and finished putting my stuff away.
"Where are you heading?" he asked as I shut my locker.
"Math," I said, "I have Ms. Smith."
"Me too," he said, shutting his locker, "Can I walk with you?"
"Sure," I said, I'm not sure why he felt the need to ask, it's not like I could stop him. He seemed really happy as he fell into step next to me, he was so weird sometimes.
Ms. Smith turned out to be a really nice, and math flew by, and before I knew it I was off to science with Mr. Gorden. Science flew by too, and when it was over I headed to lunch.
"Hey guys," I said as I sat down at the table we'd claimed.
"So you still hate school?" Bailey asked jokingly.
"Yep," I said, "I got Crabgrass for homeroom and English."
"Any bright sides?" She asked, "You can't let one mean teacher ruin your whole year."
"Well my locker is next to Leo's," I said.
"Who's Leo?" Bailey asked.
"Are you kidding me?" Marry said, "he's the school quarter-back! How do you not know that?"
Mary knows everything about sports, the teams, the players, the rules, all of it. So it made sense that she would know who the quarterback is.
"I don't play football, that's all," Bailey said, "Anyway is he cute?"
Just then Leo walked in, "See for yourself," I said, pointing to him.
"Wow," she said, "you are so lucky."
I shrugged, "I just hope I stay that way."
The rest of the day wasn't so bad, and it wasn't long before I was on the bus and then home.
"I'm home," I yelled when I walked in.
"Sylvia, do have any dresses?" My mom asked when she came in.
"Do they have to be formal?" I asked.
"Black-tie," She answered.
"Then no," I said, "Why?"
"We've been invited to a banquet Friday night," she said, "I was curious if you had something to where but since you don't we'll have to buy something."
"Can't I just barrow one of yours?" I asked, I knew she hated shopping.
"If you can find something that fits," she answered, "Your best bet would be the attic."
So of I went. The attic was full of stuff; it'd take forever to find mom's old dresses. I was really glad I didn't have homework that night.
A/N So I decided to leave it here for now, tell me what you think, unless your critizizing my names, I already know that they're lame, but since I suck at names you'll just have to live with it. Anyway I hope you like it and please REVIEW!
