Chapter 1: The First Day of School
(ALL Hay Lin)
Hay Lin had just arrived at school and was getting off her bike. She was feeling extra perky this morning. She was very excited to show off her new fashion ideas she had made over the summer. She had gotten many new ideas and had earned some extra cash while helping her parents at their restaurant; so she used some of her money to work on her new creations.
This morning she was wearing tight, pink pants, a black tube top, and a red vest over top of it. She was wearing black boots that reached the bottom of her knees. She had a necklace with a heart on it and about ten bracelets that were plastic and were many different colors - black and pink and red - draping over her hand. Her earrings were bright red hearts with a black diamond in the middle. Plus, for once in her lifetime, she wasn't wearing goggles. Her sleek, long, black hair wasn't in pigtails or a ponytail; it was let down and looked layered.
As she parked her biked and locked it into the bike rack she noticed that a lot of other teens were staring at her. She started feeling very embarrassed and started looking at her back to see if she happened to have mud or a "kick-me" sign on it; but there was nothing there. She stood up; shrugged off all the odd looks; and walked into school to check out the new kids and to find her friends.
As she walked through the hallway into the cafeteria she saw a lot of 'noobies' – which is what the older kids called the new kids to the school – and noticed that they were all in little groups. There was a gothic group, a cheerleader group, a jock group, a nerd group, and a group that looked normal – but they seemed very nervous. Then Hay Lin realized that they must be the shy ones.
This year Hay Lin was in the upper class – 8th grade – the highest grade level in the school – so she walked over to the very far side of the cafeteria. That's where the 8th graders ate at lunch; also called the 'cool' section of the lunchroom. As she looked at all the kids her age she could name everyone off: Kayla, Paul, Caleb, Chanelle, Nigel – Taranee's heart-throb – Mark, Nadia, then she saw a group that stood out most of all to her. It was Cornelia, Will, Irma, and Taranee. She walked over to them as she noticed also that a lot of her fellow class members were staring at her - as well as her best friends.
Hay Lin finally got over to where her friends were sitting and sat down beside her closest friend – Irma.
"What's up?" she asked.
"Nothing much…" Irma said hesitantly.
"Hay Lin," Taranee started, "What are you wearing?"
"My newest fashion design! You like?" Hay Lin replied.
"Um, no," Will said.
"No offenses Hay Lin, but you look like a… you know… in that outfit."
"So?" she asked.
"You mean you like that? My little goggle wearing Hay Lin likes that outfit?" Irma asked.
"Yes. Is there a problem with that? Geez. Its just clothes."
"Well, the first thing people look at when they meet you is your clothes… and that makes you look… 'easy'," Cornelia added in.
"You guys are just jealous my parents let me wear things like this! However, this is just one of my outfits; not all of them are like this. You should see some of the others! But no rush, you'll see them sooner or later."
Hay Lin looked around and tried to ignore the glances that were going back and forth between her friends. She spotted someone she didn't know. It was a guy. He had short brown hair and glasses. He was talking with a bunch of blushing girls, but Hay Lin couldn't see his face; he was standing side-ways to her and could see the glasses but couldn't make out the face. She turned back to her friends hoping they would know who the guy was.
"Who is that hunk?" Hay Lin asked gesturing toward the boy she saw.
"Hay Lin!" Irma laughed while smiling at her friend, "'Hunk?'"
Hay Lin blushed then giggled quietly under her breath.
"I don't know who that is, Hay Lin," Cornelia said.
"Really? The famous Cornelia doesn't know who that guy is? I thought you knew everybody," Taranee accused.
"Oh really? Well, I don't," Cornelia replied.
"Well, he's hot. I think I'm going to go talk to him," Hay Lin said.
She stood up and pulled her scrunched up, tight pants down a bit to smooth them out; and then set off to the group of girls standing around the boy she had been checking out.
She got to the opposite side of the room, wearily trying to avoid stares, and entered the group. Immediately she knew what the group was talking about. Obviously, the guy she liked was a good baseball player because the girls were all talking about how well he did over the summer in Little League.
Hay Lin still couldn't see the boy's face yet, considering she was standing behind him in the group -- and since it looked physically impossible to get through the crazed girls to the other side, she just decided to check out the hunk's butt. It looked nice and tight, but she couldn't tell a whole lot considering he was wearing partially baggy pants.
She decided to stop staring at his butt just incase another girl saw, even though they probably wouldn't because their eyes were too busy fixed on him. So for the rest of the next ten minutes until they had to go to their first class she just tried to listen to what they were talking about so she could learn as much as she could about this new guy.
Finally, the bell rang to go to first period and everybody was quickly leaving to go to his or her first class so they could get the best seats. However, Hay Lin walked slowly trying to spot out the boy she had lost when the girls started walking away. She didn't mind either if she got a front or back seat. Then she spotted the hottie walking into PE. He then suddenly turned around and started running.
He noticed Hay Lin looking at him and said while he passed her, "Need to go to my locker."
He had a nice, calm voice and a heavenly face. He had just a few pimples but other than that he had brown eyes, sleek lips, a medium-sized nose, and bushy eyebrows. Hay Lin decided that this one she was going to work for. After her first class she was going to try to spot him and "accidentally" run into him; then apologize many times; then say she normally wasn't that clumsy and maybe she could make it up to him at lunch. She would ask if he wanted to get an ice cream cone down at the café. (This year they are allowed outside of school property for lunch.)
So Hay Lin briskly walked into her first class – Art – and got the best seat – the desk right beside the teacher's desk. This was Hay Lin's favorite class considering she was so good at art. But the teacher just talked about rules the whole period, which Hay Lin had heard before, so she just doodled pictures and tried to draw the boy she "loved".
