Chapter 3
August 27 – First day of Jewel Rae's Last year in High School!
It was the first day of Senior Year. She never expected she'd spend this day in LA. She always imagined her senior year in Brooklyn High School with her friends, plotting for a good Senior's prank. But no, instead, she's in LA, feeling kinda nervous like it's her first day in freshmen year. It feels awkward that she has to be the new girl in her senior year. It took her a long time to choose on what to wear. She wore her fave burnout raglan tee from Forever 21 and tattered jeans and her gray Converse. She tied her hair in fish tail style.
I guess this would do. She thought to herself while looking at her mirror.
She heard a honk. Kendall and Kylie are outside waiting for her. She grabbed her smoothie faux leather buckled canvas backpack she got from the internet and went out, still feeling nervous for some reason. She just doesn't know what.
Beverly Hills High School. She read the big sign in the entrance. Kendall went by her side while Kylie went ahead when she saw one of her friends.
"Welcome to Bev High," Kendall said.
She felt people staring at her. Feeling self-conscious, she smiled at Kendall.
"You look nervous," Kendall linked arms with her. "Don't worry, I'm here. No one will stand in your way," she gave a reassuring smile to Jewel.
"Thanks," Jewel said, feeling all of a sudden jealous at her confidence.
"Hey, Kendall!" a guy wearing a BHHS Varsity jacket waved and smiled at them.
"Hey, Jake! This is my cousin, Jewel. She's from New York," Kendall said introducing them.
"Hi, there!" Jake said flashing a grin, showing his really white teeth, "Welcome to BHHS. Are you a Senior, too?" he asked.
"Yep," Jewel replied.
"Cool. It was nice to meet you. I better go, I need to see Coach before the bell rings. See ya round," he said and flashed a grin again showing his teeth. It's like she'd been blinded by those teeth.
"Your first class is on the corner to the left. The cafeteria's downstairs. Just text me when you need me, okay? I need to go now. That's your locker, btw," Kendall informed her.
"Oh okay. Thanks," Jewel said and they both waved goodbye.
Jewel went to her locker. She placed her bag then left some of her things and got hold of her Chemistry book. She closed her locker and noticed a guy, probably Senior, was closing his, too. For a moment, they were locked in each other's eyes. She was mesmerized by those baby blue eyes. It was like the color of the sky when she first stepped in LA. Really blue. Attractive and amazing eyes. Suddenly the bell rang. Whew, saved by the bell, Jewel thought. Awkwardly, she looked down and walked to her room for her first period class.
Her first day went pretty well. Though she remained invisible without her cousins, she thought it was better that way. She was observing her environment, trying to survey the people around. She heard from some people that some of the kids here are children of famous celebrities. Everywhere she finds someone either famous, or just related to famous ones. She herself was related to the famous ones. She ate lunch with Kendall and her friends, which were also famous. There's Tiffany Alvord, a singer-songwriter, famously known in YouTube with her amazing covers, as what Kendall told her; Elizabeth McLaughlin, an actress who starred in The Clique, and Chachi Gonzalez, a famous dancer. She have noticed Elizabeth and Tiffany in her classes. They must be Seniors, too. She liked Kendall's friends. They were kind and cool to be with. When classes ended, Kendall and Kylie had dropped her in their house. They were kind of in a hurry due to some shoot for that new season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
She got out of the car and waved goodbye to them. She noticed a car pulling over the next house. A guy stepped out of the car and waved goodbye.
"Thanks for the ride, Cooper!" he shouted then turned towards their house. He noticed Jewel was staring at him.
It was the guy with those baby blue eyes! He must be Logan Lerman. She said in her mind. Noticing him noticing her, she looked away and walked towards her house. Things suddenly came flashing her mind: His mom saying his son named Logan is a senior in Bev High, too; Kylie saying she's neighbours with Logan. No wonder Kylie was so hyped when she told her Logan was her neighbour. The guy's cute! His eyes are so amazing.
OT: Don't you just love Logan's eyes? Those amazing blue eyes takes every Lermaniac's heart away :)
