*~ I DON'T OWN THE DUCKS, DISNEY DOESN'T EVEN KNOW I GOT THEM SO SHHH. MEREDITH AND JARED ARE MINE THOUGH~*
~* This chapters short because I'm not sure if I should continue with this story. What do you think? If I should I need your help, I need a duck to befriend Meredith, maybe even to fall for her. So um suggestions please.
Meredith Rice stood in front of her bathroom mirror and sighed at her reflection. The girl glaring back her had shoulder length mousy brown hair with an untamable puff and her eyes were the color of mud. She was medium height, medium weight, her nose was pudgier then she wanted it to be and her ears stuck out slightly. It wasn't enough to make her unattractive, she was far from ugly she was simply plain. Average in every meaning of the word.
"Meredith are you almost ready, I'm leaving in two minutes." Her older brother Jared had been banging on the door for over twenty minutes while she prepped for her first day of school and came out looking exactly the way she did when she went in.
"I'm ready." She sighed again picking up her backpack and slinging it over her shoulder
"You're going dressed like that?" Jared gazed at his sister's appearance with a critical eye
"Yeah." Merry looked down at her tight fitting and somewhat fade blue jeans and tee-shirt with royal blue and white horizontal stripes
"Listen sis, I know some girls from Eden Hall and they don't dress like that."
"Let's put it this way Jared, I could use my pay check to buy new clothes, look good and go to public school, or I could use it to pay tuition, get a good education at Eden Hall and dress like I always have." She crossed her arms and tapped her foot impatiently "Are you driving me to school or would you like me to walk?"
"Let's go." He picked his keys up off the table and shoved his sister out the door
"How do you know Eden Hall girls?" Meredith asked as Jared's Honda traveled down the streets of Stillwater.
"I work at the mall Meredith it's pretty hard not to notice 'em with their Gucci purses and Donna Karan dresses. I'm surprised you haven't met any of them at the diner."
"Mickey's isn't exactly the hang out for high society."
"Doesn't Casey's son go to Eden Hall?" Her brother clicked on his blinker and eased closer to the school
"Charlie? Yeah he does. He's like captain of the hockey team or something; I doubt I'll even see him. I won't fit in with that crowd."
"I'm sure you'll make some friends. Want me to pick you up at the end of the day?"
"I've got to work, I'll just take the bus to the diner and call you from there." Meredith took a breath and forced herself out into the wonderful world of Prep School.
Meredith had received her schedule in the mail over the summer, the same as all the other students had and was relieved to see she was in every B level sophomore curse she'd asked for. Nothing to challenging, nothing she was destine to ace with flying colors, just regular classes and quite possibly the most irregular school in the state.
She was seated in the fifth row from the back of the auditorium vaguely listening to the droning of dean Buckley. He praised the varsity hockey team and a pretty girl with long blonde hair behind her whispered to a tall kid a cowboy hat
"What about us?"
Meredith recognized the two students as Julie Gaffney and Dwayne Robertson, members of the JV team. They'd been all over the sports section the year before and Meredith read every article. She wasn't really into sports, but she knew she'd be going to Eden Hall the following year so she made sure she got every bit of gossip and news she could. It's always better to go into things well informed, at least that's what her father used to say before he ran off with his secretary.
It was already sixth period before she had a class with Charlie. She was almost happy to see his face after all the dirty looks she'd been receiving all day from various people, students and staff. But she wasn't really insulted when the Captain Duck walked right past her and lowered himself into a seat as if he hadn't even seen her. Maybe he hadn't, she wasn't really striking and most men did just gloss over her.
After almost half of their Geology and Soils class a note folded in the shape of a paper football smacked her in the side of the face and hit the desk. She heard the stifled giggles coming from the snobby girls and snooty guys that were sitting in the surrounding desks and she frowned as she opened it.
"Hey Meredith, welcome to hell. - Charlie"
That hadn't been the kind hello she'd been hoping for but it was better then nothing. She had to agree with him though, that school was hell. She came to that conclusion when the boy behind her pulled her hair and called her white trash as the class cleared the room for the end of the day. To think she thought the aristocrats of the academy would be more mature. She was almost positive as she settled into her seat on the bus that it would've been better to buy new clothes and go to a public high school.
