Recess in High School

by I'm Going Ghost

The Recess gang is in high school. Society has its stereotypes and that has torn this group apart. Only hanging out every so often, the gang has seemed to have split ways. But, they're not going to let that happen. Best friends till the end, right? Follow them throughout high school and see their ups and downs. Rated T for cursing. Also, this is a work in progress.

2. Chapter 1

Chapter 1

~Gretchen's PoV~

Freshmen year was going to be a piece of cake, I was prepared for the whole school year. I did my summer work before summer even began and I even went to the school and asked about extra credit. After being dropped off at the front of the school, I made my way through the crowd of other students. My first class was AP Trig, which was a senior class. I was told I was the youngest student to take that class. I was told I was in over my head with all the classes I was taking.

Ever since middle school, things have been different between me and my friends. It seemed like we all had our own things to do. Things were different since fifth grade, we had changed. I changed. I wasn't awkwardly tall anymore and my teeth now had braces on them. Puberty had hit me with a bus and I didn't mind. It all seemed to happen over the summer though. I had gotten braces over the summer and gotten new glasses. Over the years I had grown, but it wasn't until this summer that I wasn't awkward. It seemed like things were perfect now.

I pulled at the sleeve of my sweater and walked down the hall. I waved to people I knew if they waved to me first. I was looking for someone in particular, someone I hadn't seen all summer because of conflicting schedules. Vince. He had been busy all summer, working on his basketball skills to make it on the team. I had seen the rest of the gang over the summer and had spent some time with them, but Vince was always busy.

"Hey Gretch!" I turn around to see Vince. I smile and wave at him. It seemed like it had been a long time since we had seen each other. He rushes up to me and we start to walk together. "How was your summer?"

"Good, spent a lot of it reading but it was fun. What about you?"

"Practicing was tough, but fun. I hope I make the team."

"I'm sure you will." I smile.

"You got braces."

"Yeah, new glasses too."

"You look like a new person." I guess I did, everyone looked at me like I was. Especially boys. Including Vince.

"Thanks, I think. What's your schedule?"

We exchanged schedules and examined each other's. "We have lunch together," I confirmed while taking back my schedule and handing Vince his. "So, I'll see you at lunch then."

"Bye, see ya."

I begin to watch away and look back, Vince is still watching me. I wave to him then turn the corner.

A/N: So, that was Chapter 1. I hope you like it. Review to tell me how I'm doing so far.
