All's Fair in High School
Hi! This is my new fanfic. It's going to mainly be about Kay, Charity, Miguel, Reese, Jessica, Simone, Whitney, Chad, Ethan, and Theresa.
Sorry, long list of characters!! This is going to be extremely Sweet-Valley-High-ish, because that's where I'm getting most my ideas and storylines from. FEEDBACK IS CHERISHED AND KEEPS ME WRITING!!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters. I'm using all storylines straight from Sweet Valley High Senior Year Series (good books, by the way). Blah, blah, blah…
Here's (another) list of characters and some info on them for you to better understand my fanfic!
By the way, everyone on this list is a senior at Harmony High unless otherwise stated!!
Theresa- is the coolest girl at school. Everyone loves her, and she's totally optimistic and cheery, not to mention drop-dead-gorgous! Everything has been going great for her, but what's going to happen once Ethan has to leave for college?
Ethan- is totally in love with Theresa. Nothing could ever take her away from him. Except for the fact that he has to leave for college soon. He already deferred Havard for one semester, but how long will he be able to postpone his own life for Theresa?
Chad- is Mr. Cool. He's into music, especially writing his own. He's NOT into chicks who dig commitment. Relationships. No way. Not for him. Unfortunantly, that's the kind of girl Whitney is.
Whitney- is smart, funny, beautiful and talented. She's sick of taking the safe road. That's why she's decided to have a great year. Party. Get a new boyfriend. Be a bad girl.
Simone- is Kay's best friend. She's popular by association. What will happen when Kay and Simone's friendship takes a test?
Jessica- is a sophmore. She's had a crush on Reese forever. Will she finally work up the nerve to tell him?
Reese- is the current star quarterback at Harmony High.
Miguel- is a junior, but was already the star quarterback on the football team at Castleton. He just transferred to Harmony High from Castleton High. He's been with his long time girlfriend, Charity, for almost 3 years. He's hansome, cocky and cool- and thinks nothing will ever get him down.
Charity- was queen of Castleton High. She's not afraid of some competition- not that she even considers Kay Bennet competition. She knows she will be head cheerleader, and Miguel will be captian of the football team. She wilol do whatever it takes to rule Harmony High. Anything. She will always be ½ of the most popular couple at Harmony High. No one will ever change that. Not Kay. Not even Miguel.
Kay- has ruled Harmony High since freshman year. She was captain of the cheerleading squad last year, and will no doubt be again this year. But Kay plays by the rules- and doesn't watch her back. Sometimes even your best friends aren't even your friends at all. She's always believed in the good in every person- bad idea.
All's Fair In High School- Chapter 1
Whitney carefully spun the combination to her locker as the 5 minute bell rung.
She grabbed her creative writing folder as she scanned the hallway for a friendly face.
Creative Writing. She had waited 4 years to take this elective. As editor of the school paper, she had figured that the teacher, Mr. Johnson, would cut her a break and let her take the class as a junior or sophmore. No such luck.
She couldn't find a familiar face anywhere. All she saw were strangers, probably transferred from Castleton High, which had been destroyed during a hurricane over the summer.
With a sigh, she entered the classroom. She took a seat behind a petite, pretty girl with long dark brown hair and smiled at her.
" Hi, I'm Theresa.", the girl introduced herself.
" Whitney, nice to meet you.", Whit replied.
Before they could say anything else, Mr. Johnson started talking. He told them about the class, and told them they would have to read virtually everything they wrote out loud to the class.
After having them watch a video about Shakephere's writing style, he started to ask them questions.
" Tell me, Ms. Russell, why do you take this elective?", Mr. Johnson asked, calling on Whitney.
Whitney took a deep breath. " Well, I've always wanted to be a writer. And I've written all my life. But I believe that writing, like anything else life, requires direction."
" Bull.", a voice called out from the back.
"Mr. Harris, do you have something to say?", Mr. Johnson asked, checking his seating chart.
" Writers are born, not made. If you can't write now, 100 years of practice won't help you.", he replied, smirking, " HER idea of an essay is probably about how her first zit was a national tragedy."
Whitney started at the stranger. He was obviously new, she didn't know him. What right did he have coming to HER school and attacking her? He didn't even know her!
As she was about to retort with a smart alleck remark, the bell rang.
" Saved by the bell.", she muttered.
Kay looked around in her AP History Class. What girl couldn't see the advantages of combining schools with Castleton? A whole new batch of extremely cute guys…
Ooh that one's cute. Cuter. Seriously good-looking. Downright hot. And there he was. Mr. Drop Dead Gorgous.
He was maybe 5'10 or 5'11. His lean but muscular build was proof of an athlete. He had dark brown hair and the most beautiful chocoloate brown eyes that she could melt just looking at.
She caught his eye and smiled as she tossed her hair behind her shoulders.
And he ignored her, taking a seat.
' I'll give him 10 minutes to glance back here.', she thought.
10 minutes later…
' Maybe 10 more minutes.' She thought generously, as her ego was starting to bruise.'
As the class passed, he refused to give her a second glance.
" Maybe I don't look quite as good in pink as I thought I did.", she muttered, catching a puzzled look from the girl sitting next to her.
When the bell rang, she glanced over at Mr. Gorgous just as she saw him glance at her, then quickly look away.
'Gotcha!' Kay thought triumphantly.
Charity stared at the pictures in her locker. She only kept three of them there. The three most important photos she owned. One of her parents wedding, one of her and Miguel at junior prom, and one of with the cheerleading squad.
" God, Char, this sucks.", Miguel said standing next to her.
" More football stuff, huh?", she asked sympathetically.
" Yeah, Coach Russell says that Reese it first string, and that's that. Nothing I can do about it.", Miguel said, obviously frustrated.
" Relax. It'll be okay. In no time, will Coach Russell realize that you're way better than that Reese kid.", Charity said soothingly.
" You don't get it Char. This was supposed to be our year. And now some loser punks are taking our high school dreams. You think you'll be captain of the cheerleading squad, Char? Don't be so sure. I've been hearing that some Kay Bennett chick already owns the title.", Miguel said angrily.
" That's what makes it all the better when we take it away from them." Charity replied grimly.
