(Jack's Point of View.)
The first day of school is always the worse, no matter how long you've been going to the same school. I've been going to this damned place since Kindergarten, it's my first day as a senior; and every year is the same. Only when you're a Senior, you have that beautiful knowledge that you're not coming back next year. Unless, you fuck up; we have summer school for that though.
School always started the same way, I got up and waited for my best friend Alex to call and say he was on his way. Now I got up and waited for my "girl friend" Bridget. She went to a different school, and we weren't a serious couple. We were both looking for a summer fling and summers over, so is the fling. But I highly doubt she'll take the breakup easy.
The sex was good but GOD was she annoying, she'd get super pissed if I went to band practice without asking her if she wanted to come, (she never wanted to anyways) and she got super jealous when I would hangout with my sister, let me repeat, my sister. I was so done with this relationship, but then again all the girls at my school were stuck up, and there's only two who aren't and guess what, one is with one of my best friends and the other is in love with my best friend. Great.
There's this girl named Cassadee, and god she's gorgeous. She's been with my extremely lucky friend Rian since the end of Junior year when they finally came out and said they were in love with each other. But none of us count that since they've been in love since they met in 8th grade. She's got a good head on her shoulders and a big heart. They were getting married and that was that, I'm making sure they get married.
And then there's Lisa, she was in love with Alex and he's in love with her. But honestly she's been dicked around by him so much and she's fucked him up so much that they shouldn't be together but again they needed to be together.
Alex was with this girl right now named Danni and I didn't like her. She broke him over and over, and Lisa and I were there to pick up the pieces. So I don't know honestly to do with him. The girl was like a solid ten on looks, but personality she was a low negative eight. Lisa and Alex both like to out do each other but they just need to stop and try a relationship and if that doesn't work stop talking in general. Zack didn't have a girlfriend, he ended things with this one girl named Tara and they were still friends. He doesn't talk much about his love-life so I don't really know honestly what happened.
It was only six-eighteen and I could smell the blueberry pancakes. Every year since my older sister May started school, blue berry pancakes were the first thing you ate on your, "big day." I didn't have to be at school until eight, but might as well get up now, I'll take a quick shower and be out the door.
This wasn't something I was too proud of, but I straightened my hair just about everyday. It's not easy being this pretty, you know. By the time I was done with that it was seven-fifteen, better head downstairs before my mom starts screaming that I'm, "going to be late."
"I was just about to yell for you, is Alex going to be eating here too? I think I made enough." My mom said piling them on a plate.
"Not sure actually, he hasn't even texted me yet. He's probably on the phone with his girlfriend." I said taking a forced bite of the pancakes she handed me, you'd be surprised on how fast you can get burned out on them.
"Have you heard from Bridget? Is she going to be coming home with you after school like you two had planned?" She asked taking the seat next to me.
"I haven't heard from her yet either," I chuckled, "thank god."
My mom just laughed it off, she didn't like Bridget either.
"Is your ringer even on? Did you even check to see if she or Alex called?" She picked up my phone, "'Damn it Jack answer your phone you stupid fuck!' I think Alex is trying to get a hold of you sweetie." She laughed.
"Shit! When did he send that?" I jumped up and grabbed my phone, "Shit! Shit! Shit! He sent that an hour ago. I gotta go." I ran to the front door, Alex wasn't in sight, it was only seven-thirty so he either said fuck it and left without me or is just running late. It's the second one, it always is.
After about five minutes I saw Alex pulling up my driveway, he got out wearing the same fuckin' Blink-182 shirt as me. Great.
"Whoa there, who said we could match today?" He said tugging at my shirt, "Wait here." He opened the trunk and dug around for a couple of minutes till walking back. "Alright Jack-o, heads I wear the hoodie, tales you wear the hoodie. Alright go." He flipped a dime in the air and caught it on the back of his hands, "Tales! Ha fucker you gotta wear it."
He tossed me the hoodie, it was the one he caught at a football game last year, it had our mascot, "Lions" on it and it was our school colors, green and blue. Oh joyful day, it wasn't even a zip-up, it was a pull-over. Alex seemed pretty pleased with himself, this thing smelled like shit, but I'm not gonna deal with his bitching if I don't wear it.
We pulled up to school, this is one of those very wonderful schools that have the grades Kindergarten-12th grade. I've known everyone here my whole life, and it's hell. Rian didn't start coming here until Freshman year, I met him in my French class, and he's one of the best people here, everyone loves him. But anyways, this place was a hell hole. I couldn't wait to get out, last year, I couldn't be happier. Alex and I parted ways, we only had two classes together and those weren't till later in the day.
When I got to my locker (the same locker I've had since 5th grade by the way) some girl with bright pink hair was trying to open it.
"Um, hey can I help you?" I smiled, "this is my locker. You're not trying to rob me on the first day are you?" I laughed.
"Opps sorry, I read the number wrong. I'm the one next to you" she laughed, "no wonder why this damn thing wouldn't open."
"No hard feelings, it happens." I opened my locker and threw my book bag in there. I wouldn't need any books, it's the first day.
"Hey can I ask you something?" She laughed nervously, "Could you please tell me where I can find the orchestra room?" She smirked.
"Sure, go down the hall, take a left and go up the stairs right there and then you'll be right there."
"Thanks a ton!" She picked up what looked like to be a guitar and ran down the hall.
I headed to my first class English, but I had it with Zack and Lisa so it worked out.
