Beginning Again
Hey guys! I'm back! Here is the sequel to Another Start! I hope you guys enjoy my new story! Most of my ideas came from watching the movie The Sandlot 2. It reminded me a lot of the Boy/Girl Battle Series. I hope you guys will review on this! Oh, and I just found out that Peter and Wally actually have BLUE eyes, so I'm just going to make all of Wally and Peter's eyes blue and Josh and Jake hazel because I don't remember reading about the twins' eyes. Maybe I'll make them blue. I'll have a poll on my profile. Only Scott's will be black. For the girls' eyes that I know: Eddie and Caroline have brown eyes, Beth blue, and I'm making Mary's green and Ruth's black. Oh and the theme song for this Fanfic will be "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri ft. Steve Kazee. Some of the outfits in the Fanfic will be on my profile from my Polyvore account. I have a theme song for all of my Fanfic- Never Knew I Needed sung by Ne-Yo. Okay, that's it. Please review and all!
I DO NOT OWN THE BOY/GIRL BATTLE SERIES, JUST MY OWN FANFICTIONS. I ALSO OWN SCOTT HATFORD, MARY AND RUTH MALLOY, AND BEN AND BELINDA and her little sister Lin which will appear later.
HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY!
CHAPTER 3: 1st day of School part 1
Mary's POV
When I woke up the morning of my first day of school, I had no idea where I was. Unfortunately, I have a really dark past- my mother died when Ruth and I were 9, and soon after that, my father began to beat us. Being a kid, I didn't know that was a bad thing. Even though the past is behind me, I still have nightmares of when I was in my father's custody.
My previous dream has been when he locked my twin in the basement and he locked me in the attic. That day, he gave me the key to the basement, but in order to release my twin I had to climb off of the roof and into the house. I nearly died that day, but I managed to slip through my bedroom window.
Anyway, when I woke up, it was 6:30 in the morning. I decided to get up then. I quickly dressed into a yellow top with white skinny jeans and my brown boots. I combed my long chestnut blonde hair and pulled my bangs away from my face and pinned them to the side of my head with a yellow pin. Once I was dressed, I made my bed and headed downstairs.
My twin and my adoptive sisters were already sitting at the table. Beth was frying something in a pan, Eddie was pouring out the juice, and Ruth and Caroline were staring at the toaster, obviously waiting for the toast to pop out. Ruth spotted me and tossed me a green apple. I sliced it in half and ate it while Beth served us our food. I had to admit- out of our family, Beth wins the prize for best cook.
"Where's Coach?" I asked, referring to my uncle. "Took off to the high school early. A game is coming up soon and they have to prepare for it," Eddie said as she sat down. Eddie was wearing her usual outfit- short jeans, white Nikes, a blue t-shirt, and blue baseball cap. She had her blonde hair in a ponytail.
Beth wore blue denim shorts, a green top, black Converse and had her hair pulled back. Caroline wore a purple blouse over black leggings and black high-top Converse with her long dark hair pulled to the side. Ruth was the simple but sweet one- a short sleeved red dress, white tights, red converse, and a white flower pin in her jet black hair.
My 'mom' came down to breakfast. She poured herself a mug of coffee and nearly spit it out when she saw Eddie.
"Edith Ann, are you really wearing that to your first day of school?" she asked. Eddie frowned and ran upstairs to change. I noticed that my aunt had been trying to get Eddie more into different fashion styles lately.
When Eddie came down she was wearing regular skinny jeans, a black tank top under a dark blue top and black converse. "Better?" she asked before gulping down her juice. Mom rolled her eyes but didn't say anything. By 7:30 I was walking between Ruth and Eddie as we walked out towards the swinging bridge. "Should we wait for the boys?" Caroline asked. Before anyone could reply we heard someone yell out "Hey girls! Wait up!"
I spun around. The Hatfords were running out of their house and towards us. I held in a giggle as Jake nearly tripped.
"What's the rush?" Beth asked.
"Don't ask. Please don't ask," was all that Josh replied. We walked to school.
"Do you want me to show you around the school" Peter asked Ruth and I.
"Sure Peter. Offer the girls a tour. Don't worry about me. I won't get lost," Scott said sarcastically as he brushed his dark hair out of his eyes.
Peter rolled his eyes. "It's not like I have much of a choice with you," he said. Scott rolls his eyes and sticks his tongue out in reply as we all gave low chuckles and giggles. We then came across a brick building. It seemed big even though it was fairly a good size.
I gave a last glance to Eddie, Beth and Caroline and they said "Bye" to Ruth, Scott, Peter, and I.
Ruth, Scott, and I followed peter inside the building. He led us into the office and introduced us to the secretary. The secretary looked at us for a moment, nodded and handed us some papers. We scanned them. Scott, Mary, and I had the same teacher, Ms. Valencia- same as Peter. (The school staff though it would be best to keep me and Ruth together, and to keep Scott around Peter.)
"At-whay uck-lay!" Ruth whispered to me, which meant "What Luck!" in Pig Latin. I gave her a confused look and asked "At 'whay oo-day ean-may?" I asked. (Translation: What do you mean?")
Before Ruth could reply, our brief conversation was interrupted by Peter. "Come on girls and guy. Let's get to class before we are all late," he said. We followed him out of the office.
In the class room, Scott, Ruth and I stood in front of the entire freaking class. To tell the truth I felt like an idiot just standing there. (IF you have ever been a new student, then you know what I mean.) After the teacher introduced us and all, she put us in the way back. I sat next to Peter, Ruth sat a few desks away and next to Scott, who was behind peter.
While the teacher droned on and on about fractions I felt someone staring at me. I kept my body relaxed and casually looked around as if I was looking at Ruth. A girl with reddish brown hair and hazel eyes was glaring at me and Ruth. What the heck did we do wrong?
At lunch, Ruth and I sat with Scott and Peter. (Peter admitted that he didn't have many friends at school.)
When we went back to class, the teacher assigned me to hand out papers. While I handed out the papers, Peter got up and sharpened his pencil. When I handed out a sheet to the girl who had been glaring at me earlier, Peter quickly walked back to his desk. HE was about to pass me when I felt myself trip and we collided and fell to the ground.
The class all laughed except for my twin, Scott, Peter, and me. Papers were flying everywhere. Once again, Peter was on top of me, apologizing. "SORRY Mary! Sorry!" he said.
"I tripped. It was my fault," I said as Peter helped me up and helped me collect the papers that were flying everywhere. The teacher made us go back to our seats as she finished handing the papers out.
I was so embarrassed. How did I manage to mess up the simplest of all tasks? By tripping, that's how.
Wen school FINALLY ended, Peter led us to the middle school and the high school to wait for out siblings to get out.
"Mary, you know how you fell earlier?" Ruth said. I nodded. "I saw that girl you were next to stick out her foot. She tripped you," Ruth said. We turned to Ruth. "Did that girl have reddish brown hair?" I asked. Ruth nodded.
"That's Lin. Her big sister, Belinda goes to school with our older siblings here at the high school. From what I heard from Jake, Belinda is even more rotten than Lin. Ignore them both. They're nothing but trouble. They also have a sister in the same grade as Wally and Caroline. She's pretty nice though." Peter said. I didn't get it though. Why did Lin trip me in the first place?
I was about to ask this when the doors opened and nearly knocked Peter off the wall along the staircase where he was sitting. Eddie roughed out and she looked MAD. She, Beth, and Jake were a mess. Their clothes were stained and Jake wasn't wearing his hat anymore. "What happened to you?" Scott asked. Eddie shook her head in disgust. "Long story. But let me tell you one thing." Eddie said. "What?" I asked. At the moment, Caroline, Wally, and Josh also exited, this time nearly crashing the door into me instead.
Caroline frowned and finished Eddie's sentence. "We are so getting revenge."
Hey guys! I know this chapter is long, but it's spring break for me right now and I was bored. I also wanted to say that the theme song for Caroline and Wally in Another Start is that song called "Daylight" by Maroon 5. I LOVE this song and after a while it reminded me of my own Fanfic.
I hope you guys will review on this! Either bad or good, they are all welcome, but please hold off on the insults and stuff. Okay, that's all. I seriously BEG you to review! (Seriously, you know how much we Fanfiction authors want to know how our story is so far.)
Please review!
Love you all!
