xX... this is my new story, god willing it will be lots better than the Tour
shit! ...xX
Since they were 6 they had been inseparable. Wild horses couldn't drag them away. Nothing romantic, just total best friends. Now, they were both 17 and still best friends. Romance had never crossed their minds. Now Katie Cordova, book bag slung across her chest and shoulders, was making a new record running up the lawn and to English.
"FUCK!" She screamed as the bell rang as she placed her hand on the steel doorknob.
"Late again", she moaned inside her head. Professor Malsdorf would bite her head off. "Damn it", she though, as she trudged back to her dorm. She promised Zack that she would be his reading partner today. She hated herself, she always let him down. How could she, her best friend, she always let him down. "I'm such a washed up whore", Katie thought, pulling out a cigarette and heading into her dorm. She collapsed onto her bed and lit it, puffing and dragging slowly. And for a moment she forgot all her problems.
Katie attended Phillips Green High, a boarding school. The high school for her elementary and middle school: Horace Green. They had made the decision to switch Phillips Green from day to boarding came just last year and Katie was still adjusting to the type of life. Being late for classes was one thing she hated about herself but something she couldn't help. She was a naturally late person. She popped School of Rock into her walkman and put on the earphones. The band hadn't seen each other since the end of Middle School when everyone but Zack seemed to fall of the face of the planet. Freddy, Marta, Larry and most of the other band had gone to the public school. But NO! Katie and Zack's parents sent them back for another 4 years at a small school. "It was to ensure your college education" Katie's parents had told her. BS! But at least she was still with her best friend in the entire world: Zack Mooneyham. That was the only plus. The negatives? Harder teachers, curriculum, harder everything!
Back in reality Katie glanced at her watched, class was over, she put out her cigarette and picked up her bag and began to head up towards the Café.
"Where the hell where you?" Zack's voice rang out behind Katie. She turned around and let Zack catch up to her. Katie smiled; her best friend was always a welcome sight.
"I dunno," Katie replied, lost.
"Yeah? Well I had to discuss Clockwork Orange with Marabou Culloms. That was not a fun experience."
Katie began to crack up, Marabou was the biggest loser who wanted to be cool there ever was. Not that Katie and Zack were cool, no, in fact, they were far from cool. They were the sole representation of semi-punk in the school.
Katie and Zack sat down at one of the tables on the covered patios.
"Gimme a bag of chips, I'm starved!" Katie called after Zack as he began to head for the door. He turned around,
"Why? Cuze you had such a taxing first half of the day?"
"Shut up!" Katie yelled. Zack laughed and went inside.
Katie and Zack had definitely changed since the days of the band and such. Though they had both matured a lot, it was really the difference in Katie that was stunning. No longer an awkward looking teen, Katie had really grown into her own. Still tall, but with less a gawky way about it. Her dark brown hair was a little longer and more pronounced, her face had smoothed out, per say. Finally, boys were beginning to notice her. Her breasts were of noticeable size and stature. And some of the guys really wanted to take her to the prom. Guys she didn't even know. So all in all, Katie had become a figure that was a gorgeous sight for sore eyes: Tall, lean, beautiful hair, and breasts that any guy would kill for to put on his girlfriend. Katie was defiantly, her own... Katie.
Zack was taller, his hair longer, and his body leaner. But he went for a more punk aura than most girls would've liked. Always slouching, dark hair, a little too far from mainstream for most girls. But Zack wasn't looking for love; Zack didn't know what the hell he WAS looking for. But it wasn't girls or love.
On the other hand, Katie was sick of being just friends with Zack. She wanted something more, but she just couldn't clue Zack in to her lust. "Oh well" she thought, "lost cause".
"Here," was the word uttered from Zack's mouth that snapped Katie back into reality. Zack was offering a bag of lays potato chips.
"Thanks," Katie mumbled. They did their homework in silence, no one wanting to break the shaky treaty that was the silence.
"MAIL!" A shrill voice rang out. Katie looked up and went inside. Moments later she returned, beaming.
"They're here! Zack! They're here!" Katie said, trying very hard to hide the excitement in her voice.
Katie was carrying four large white envelopes. Two addressed to Zack, two to Katie. Katie handed Zack his and began tearing hers open.
"YES!" Katie yelped, reading a letter that fell out of the first envelope, "I got into Middlebury! You?" Katie asked, regarding the first envelope that Zack was beginning to tear into.
"Same, Kate, same!" Zack smiled, looking over the letter, "Just think! Middlebury College!" Zack was exited.
"No! No! No," Katie said, dismay in her voice, "I didn't get into Cornell. The one we both really wanted to go too.
"Kate?" Zack asked quietly.
"What?" Kate replied.
"I got in," Zack barely whispered.
There was a long pause as Katie stared into space,
"Well, of course you get in, you're the smart one. I'm so exited for you."
"And, I'm not sure if I'm gonna go."
"What? Why not!? Don't let me pull you back. I'm the slacker; I deserve to not get in. You're the smart one, you deserve it." Katie said, trying desperately to hide the tears and fear from her quivery voice.
"No, I don't think its right to go. We've been friends for so long; I can't just cut the rope."
"Zack, listen. We agreed that school would come before us. We're just friends. We can meet sometime. They aren't that far from each other." Katie said, she didn't know why she was pressuring Zack into going to Cornell.
"See, I don't think that's the right choice though." Zack smiled. Katie leant back in her chair and sighed.
"Thank god," Katie breathed a sigh of relief.
Zack began to laugh, a muffled laugh. Soon, Katie joined in. Soon they were laughing their heads off.
"Hey Kate?"
"Hmm?" Katie asked, regaining her composure.
"Let's save the homework and do it tonight, kay?" Zack said, slamming his math book, "Let's go down by the lake."
"Deal," Katie smiled and they headed for the small pond on campus.
....................................................
There was already a girl skipping stones when Katie and Zack sat down by the massive willow tree next to the lake. They sat in silence looking at the lake.
"Long time no see," The girl said. Not turning around. It woke Katie and Zack from the trance they had been in.
"What?" Katie asked.
The girl turned around. She had straight hair and a pale complexion.
"You don't remember me do you?" The girl asked.
"Sorry but should I?" Zack asked.
"Uh, yeah!" The girl said in disparity.
"Whoever you are, can I help you?"
"Can you show me around?" The girl asked, turning back to the pond, which she found fascinating.
"There is a tour committee, would you like me to get one of 'em?" Asked Zack.
"You don't remember me do you?" She paused, "Zack Attack." She turned to them and smiled.
"Holy shit, Summer Hathaway?"
The girl only smiled before running to Katie and Zack.
.......................................................
"George Clooney?"
"God, he's SO hot, what I wouldn't give to get him in my bed."
"So, we like him?" The women said jokingly.
"Oh yeah," The blonde high school boy laughed.
Maine had done strange things to Freddy Jones and his mother Laura. After Freddy's dad had left Laura made the move to live with her sister in Maine. They ended up staying a little longer than expected. Laura was finally breaking through the crust of her son. Learning more about him than she had probably wanted.
"OK, so far we have: Brad Pitt, Josh Harnett, Diego Luna, Christian Bale, and Raul Esparza. Oh yeah, George Clooney. That gives us lots of options." Laura giggled, playfully punching her son. Freddy sat across the small, ratty wooden table in a pull over sweatshirt that was much too big, clutching a mug of coffee.
"Fred, so, who in town?" Laura drew a line on her notepad under the celebrities.
Freddy considered the question for quite some time before answering,
"Jason Creston, he's got eyes to die for."
They both laughed as Laura wrote the name down,
"Any chance you think?" Freddy asked.
"I dunno, he's got a girlfriend. But that never stopped anyone ever" Laura concluded. Putting the pad away. They got up.
"I'm going to the movies, be back later" Freddy called, heading out the door. Laura leaned on the door frame smiling as her son walked down the rough path to the road.
.........................................................
"Lawrence, honey, you've been lifting weights for over an hour, don't you think you've done enough?"
Lawrence Tsai, sighed, setting down the weights back on the rack. Now HE was Mr. Cool. The move to California had inspired him to take control of his body. He was quickly on his way to becoming the most popular guy in school. He put on his shirt and walked to school.
"Hey! Infante! Homework?" Lawrence yelled at small Gordon Infante across the hall. Gordon looked up from his book and quietly shuffled over to Lawrence.
"Here," Gordon sighed, handing him a piece of paper with scribbles.
"It better be right, I don't have time to check it." Gordon looked down and walked away, "Michelle! Come over here!"
Michelle Green looked up from her friends, adjusted her tank top and skipped over to Lawrence.
"Larry, baby, you look great!" Michelle exclaimed, loudly chewing on a piece of bubble gum.
"Babe, let's go to class," Lawrence took Michelle in his arms and kissed her. She giggled and they went into class. Lawrence smacked Gordon into the locker on the way in. Gordon didn't care, not at all, because today would be the best day of his life. Period.
