Chapter 1
The First Day Back
We were driving down the road that goes through the middle of town. Unfortunately, every other senior at Westbrook High School had the same idea. We were packed, bumper to bumper on Main Street. And for some reason, we were all going very slowly. My two friends and I got closer to the last block when we saw what the holdup was.
"What the hell is her problem?" I muttered to myself. Not low enough that my friends could hear it though.
The Middle Girl was walking along the yellow lines in the middle of Main Street, clutching her beloved Lord of the Rings books. She'd cherished them since she could read.
"Hey! Middle Girl!" my best friend Meg yelled to her. She turned. The Middle Girl loved her nickname. It was sick.
"Yes?" she said brightly. Shudder.
"Why don't you just go live in Middle Earth?"
"There's no such place. Besides." We pulled away and could still hear her talking, rambling on and on and on and on about Middle Earth. Meg, Cat and I sped away, rolling our eyes. I mean, hello? Like we cared.
* * *
"I'm sure that all of you had a refreshing summer." Classic. Meg, Cat, and I (aka Charlie's Angels) were in the bathroom applying lipgloss and we could still hear the boring droning voice of the vice principal. Who cared about first day assembly? Nobody. And besides we wanted to look good for all the hotties that went from geek to loser in three months. We heard a humming noise coming from one of the stalls. Another expectancy. The Middle Girl was totally lost in her own world in, you guessed it, the middle stall. Well, let her have her own geeky world, and we can have ours.

LUL Lion
Ohhhhh.To be going with Sean to homecoming!!!!!! That has been my dream since.FOREVER!!! Of course, I'm not the only girl in school that has that same dream. I hated it because I hardly had any classes with him. But this year, I think we're in the same Communications class!!!! But would really really really really REALLY suck is if we were on opposite sides of the class. I might scream.
What's really sad is that he's never had a girlfriend. I don't think he likes anyone in the school. I wish he liked me! I quick wrote a response back to Meg ("Lion" is our little inside joke. Cat is obviously "Cat" and I'm "Mouse") when Baldy wasn't looking.
I knooooooooow! Meg, I'm so in love it scares me sometimes. Do u think I should ask him? I don't know, Ive never asked anyone b4. U know how I get. All nervous and shaky.I don't want to go through that especially in front off Sean! Maybe u should ask him to ask me. U don't get nervous.
Love ya, Mouse
* * * After finishing the ludicrous homework from four classes, I began pacing. Meg said she would tell Cat about our plan. They would go over Meg's house, call Sean, and take it from there. They were going to come over after they hung up.
Please say yes! Please please please please PLEASE!
On the plus side, I sit RIGHT behind Sean in Communications, so I can daydream about homecoming with him in front of me.
* * *
I had fallen asleep reading Shakespeare's As You Like It. First day of the hellhole and Miss Deeno had already given us homework. But, naturally I woke up when Meg and Cat came barging into my room.
"You will soooooooo not guess what he said Steph!" Cat shrieked.
"He loves me and wants to marry me after graduation?" I asked hopefully.
"Close OHHHHH so close!" Meg said happily as they sat down.
"Ok, so what'd he say?"
"He said he would call here tonight, late like midnight, and tell you the entire thing."
