Chapter 3: First Day of School
DAWN's POV
Dawn stood outside the doors of Hillridge Middle School looking at the double doors. "Well, Jake, this is it. We're starting middle school. We have to remeber this moment forever," she sighed still not moving. "To me, it's nothing more than another school to spend six hours of my valuable time," Jake answered pushing her through the doors. "Jake!" she cried hitting her brother across the back. "What? I figure the sooner I start school the sooner it'll be over," he replied matter-of-factly as they walked down the hall to their lockers.
Dawn opened her locker and put her books inside when she heard a voice behind her. "Hey, Dawn," she heard someone say. She sighed and rolled her eyes, it was Rob. She really didn't want to see him right now, scratch that, she didnt want to see him ever. He had broken her heart in the messiest way ever. "Come on, Dawn, why aren't you talking to me?" he asked following her as she walked down the hall. "Are you seriously asking that question?" she said feircly walking faster. "Dawn, I'm sorry. Okay? I was stupid," he said trying to catch up with her as she practically ran down the hall. It seemed odd to be twelve going on thirteen and having a soap opera of a love life. But Dawn couldn't help it.
All of last year and the year before that Dawn had had a huge crush on Rob. Then, near the end of the year, Rob had asked her out, so naturally she said yes. For two months she was flouting on cloud nine. Humming all the time, singing in the shower like her mom, always smiling and giddy. But then she found out that he was cheating on her with a cheerleader. It sounds dumb to have a twelve year old to cheat on his girlfriend but thats how it happened. They do say that kids are growing up too fast these days and its probably true. After that Dawn never wanted to see him again, it was too painful.
"Dawn, let me explain," Rob begged. In her Anger, Dawn spun around to face him. She had had enough of his whole 'won't you forgive me' junk. She was moving on. "Listen, Robert, I don't ever want to see your face again. I don't ever want to hear your voice again. So just say away from me, okay. I don't like you anymore. Thats over, it was over a long time ago. So just leave me alone!" she shouted and stormed into her classroom leaving a shocked and hurt Rob behind her forever. Or at least she tried.
ASHLEY's POV
Ashley walked through the doors of her school along with her best friend Cassie. This year she was in eigth grade and looking forward to high school. They went to their lockers and started putting their books in. "Hey, Ash," said Gary, Ashleys friend of ten years.
Gary was tall and skinny with dark hair that went to just bellow his ears which was always bugging the teachers. A few of them had even offered to give him a haircut, but he politely refused. Gary was a goofy, not-all-there kinda person. He always came over to her house, though mostly because he has had, much to her dad's amusement, a crush on her mom.
"So, Gary, wanna come over later? We're gonna watch movies," Ashley asked. "Is your mom gonna be there?" he asked casually, trying to arrange his locker. "Yep," she answered putting a mirror on her locker door. "Great, I'm there," he said taping some pictures in his locker.
Ashely looked into his locker and was greeted by some skateboarding pictures, some pictures of bands, and alot of pictures of her mom. "That's creepy," she told him as he pinned up another one. "What?" he stated dumbly, "Is it my fault that I cannot hide my burning affection for your mom?"
Ashley shook her head, "Like I said before, it's creepy." Gary just shrugged and went back to taping pictures of her mom in his locker. "Hey, Jake," Cassie said to her brother as he passed. "Hey, Cassie, he replied.
"Ashley, your brother seems...different," Cassie said still watching him as he walked down the hall. "What do you mean?" Ashley asked shutting her locker. "I don't know. Is he going through puberty? 'Cause he seems, kinda, kinda...hot," she said distantly. "Ewww!" Ashley cried, "that's my little brther your talking about. Eww, get away from me," she said making a cross sign with her fingers and backing towards her classroom leaving a confused Cassie behind.
JAKE's POV
Jake walked down the hall looking for his friends. "Yo, Gordon!" he heard someone yell from behind him. He turned and saw his friend Jon Craft walking towards him. He had perfect hair (like his father), perfect eyes (like his father), and had all the girls drooling over him (like his father). Basically, he was just like his father in every single way imaginable.
"Hey, Jon," Jake said waiting for him to catch up. "So, you trying out for soccer?" Jon asked.
"No," cory replied.
"Baseball?"
"No."
"Basketball?"
"No."
"Football?"
"No."
"Are you trying out for anything?"
"No."
"Gordon, how do you expect to get any ladies if you don't play a sport?" Jon asked nodding smoothly to some giggling girls that passed. "If a girl likes me, just because I play a sport, Id rather not have a girlfriend," Jake explained. "Hey, Jake," his sisters friend Cassie said smiling as they passed her locker and Gary's locker. Gary was his sisters creepy friend that had a crush on his mom and was always coming over to the house.
"Hey, Cassie," he smiled back. "Nice eye, Gordon," Jon said looking at Cassie. "What are you talking about?" Jake asked as they walked into their class. "I said nice eye. But I wouldn't try going for older women just yet," Jon said sitting down. "No! Not Cassie, she's jus-" Jake tried to explain just as the teacher walked in.
