High School, the epiphany of any teenager's life. This is the moment where everything counts and you find out where you land of the infamous food chain. On the top you have your jocks and cheerleader. They think they're all that with their pompoms and lame cheer. Two, Four, Six, Eight, I know how to steel your date. Yay! Then you have the rich snobs who buy their way through high school. Haven't you noticed how they failed one test but got an A the next one? Then you have your wannabes. They show too much cleavage and hope a jock will notice them. They didn't make the cheerleading team because they aren't popular enough. Then you have middle class and that's where I fit in. Ms. Rosalie Hale. I'm known as the nice not hot but nice. According to the boys in my grade I am too nice to be hot. I'm the friend that never becomes the girlfriend and it sucks. I hate being in middle class but I could do worse. Below me are student council, the debate team, the band geeks, and finally the nerds.
It was the first day of school. I woke up at 6 and took a shower and got ready for school. I'm wearing a pair of high wasted short jean shorts with a tee-shirt reading "Cheers!" with a London Flag. I grabbed my black converse and rain into my car. I drove to school and parked in the Junior Parking lot. I walked to my locker when my phone vibrated. I opened it up to read a text from Emmett saying "Hey meet me by my locker. I need 2 tell u something." So I started my walk towards Emmett's locker. Emmett is my best friend and the staring midfield on the Varsity Soccer Team. He's about 6'4 and looks like a body builder but we all know that Emmett is one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. Besides from his dimples and hazel eyes that's the main reason I feel hard for Emmett McCartney.
I walked over to Emmett and he was smiling at me. You would think he was going to tell me that he loves me and we share a passionate kiss in the hall but alas you are wrong. Emmett's arm was around Lauren's waist. Lauren is captain of the cheerleaders and my worst enemy. She made fun of me throughout middle school because I had a more friends then her and I had braces. She would pick on me a lot about my mother's death like "Rosalie, you're the reason your mother died". I never could forgive her for that one comment. My mother died in a car accident and I was never the same.
I did a once over of how Lauren was dressed and my nose wrinkle up in disgust. She wore a really short plaid skirt with a very tight fitting white v-neck. Let's just say you could see everything. Her hair was bleached blond, trying to look like me I suppose, and wore black stilettos.
"Rose, you know Lauren right? Well," he gulped.
"We're dating!" Lauren squealed.
My jaw dropped at this news. I swallowed back my tears from falling when I said "Emmett that's great. You guys look great together."
Emmett kisses the tops of Lauren's head and I had to stop the tears that were forming in the corners of my eyes. I now have a new reason to hate Lauren. I knew they would end up going out. Captain of the Cheerleaders and the best soccer player at Forks High it was bound to happen.
"Well I got to get to class so I'll see you later and congrats again." I said before turning to walk in the other direction.
"Lauren, I'll see you later. Wait up Rose."
I turned around to see Emmett run up to me.
"Rose I know you must hate me for going out with Lauren but let me explain."
"Explain what? She bullied me for the past 5 years and now she's your girlfriend."
"Rosieā¦"
"Don't Rosie me. You know how I hate her. That girl is the reason we became friends. You saved me every time I got bullied Emmett. You told me to never let her get to me and now you let her get to you."
"She's changed. She came to me and apologized and one thing led to another and now we are dating. Can't you be my friend and be happy for me? Please Rose."
"She made fun of my mother's death Emmett." The tears came pouring down as I said this.
"Rose come here." Emmett pulled me in for a hug. "Lauren told me she's so sorry about that and she was just jealous of how beautiful you were and she wanted to be popular."
I looked up at his face and I knew I had to be happy for the sake of Emmett. "Fine I'll be happy about you guys for you not for her."
"That's all I ask."
I walked to English and took my seat. I looked out the window to see the sun sink behind the clouds and rain pour down from the clouds. Ironic how me and the sky is crying? Love Sucks.
