I do not own holes or the characters in holes, but I do own the characters I made up in this story. Please read and reply I would like to know what you think.
Running through the hallway I was breathing heavily from my sprint across the
Courtyard. Why was I late? Why today? My first day in a new school and I was terribly late! Maybe if I didn't live a million miles away from my school then I wouldn't have to worry about it, although maybe if I didn't sleep in I could make it to school on time too. I hope today isn't going to be what the next two years are going to be like? This is going to be hell I didn't want to move to the middle of no where Missouri, I wanted to stay back in Minnesota, but according to my mother that was a bad living environment. Well, I don't know if moving in the middle of Missouri suburbia is any better thanks mom…
"OUCH! Oh sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going."
"Yah you better be sorry bumping into me like that what were you thinking?"
I looked up into the face of the large figure that I had bumped into. It was a boy around my age with dark brown hair and matching eyes he was tall and cute but had a strong face he was the type of boy that in Minnesota you avoided. He gave me an angry glare.
"I was thinking I am very late for my first day of school and that I should get moving because I don't know anyone or where I am going or how long anything will take. That's what I was thinking and what are you just to cool for school so your spending time out here in the courtyard because let me tell you that is not very cool either."
"Whoa! Someone is PMSing I have this period free and I have nothing better to do then spend time in the courtyard. So here I am just minding m own business and little miss bitchy runs into me and starts talking like she is my mother, and who exactly are you little miss bitchy?"
The ring of the school bell could be heard in the distance. I had no time to answer the boy's question and looked back at him about to tell him off again for calling me a bitch but the boy's eyes were no longer full of anger but amusement.
"Well, time for 2nd period. What class do you have?" He looked around for my schedule.
"Math what do you have?"
"Math, I can show you where it is if you want… here!" He pulled out my school map from the pile of clutter that was now sitting at my feet from when we collided. "You go up the stairs and then through this hallway and then through this door then up these stairs and then it is your fourth door on your right you can't miss it. I would show you but I have to do something real quick before class."
"Thanks! Ill see you in class!" I ran off through the door and followed his directions I ended up in a senior art class.
"This isn't Geometry?" I looked around dazed at all the cute senior boys who were fiddling around with lenses and pictures.
"No! This is advanced photography! Who are you? You know what never mind your disrupting my class get out!" The angry photo teacher ran after me and chased me out of her room and then walked back and slammed the door. I could hear roars of laughter coming from the room. Could this day get any worse?
I sat down and took out my map and looked it over the rooms only had numbers and not names I should have checked the number on my schedule with the number on the map. I can't believe what kind of ass hole would tell me to go to the wrong room. But there is nothing I can do about it now so I better just suck it up and worry about that dusch bag later. I started off towards room 145. Ten minutes later I opened the door to find the boy sitting in the back of the classroom looking very pleased with himself. I quickly explained to my teacher that I had got lost and that I was new and that I was really very sorry. She was very understanding and said it was ok and just to pull out my book and follow along. There were only fifteen minutes left of class so we really didn't do anything. After class I got out of my seat and tried to find my locker. When I finally reached it there was a voice that interrupted my thoughts.
"Hello again have a nice class?" I looked up it was that same boy from my math class and from the courtyard. I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction in letting him know I was totally pissed.
"Yes actually I met some really hot guys and then I met the dean and I told her all about how this nice boy showed me how to get to my class but it was not the right class and so I was on my way to my class. But now I have beginning photography and thanks to you I already know where that classroom is. Have a nice 3rd period." I walked of wiping the smug look off his face. I felt kind of bad for lying to him but then again he lied in the first place and he had no rite to do that. So I just went back to the room where all the cute boys were and prepared myself for the rest of the day that was surely going to get worse.
The next two periods were rather dull except for when the same photo teacher from before saw me walking into her class room and joined me at the door and explained once again that this was not geometry and that maybe I should get my schedule checked. But then I told her that I really had photography this period and I was sorry for interrupting her earlier class. 4th period was English and that was incredibly dull because we did nothing but talk about what we were going to do for the year and then 5th period was lunch I walked into the lunch room and got my food then sat down at an empty table finally I had lunch not only was I starved but it was the one place that I could be alone and unless the boy from this morning had already peed on my ham sandwich I was finally free of his bullshit. But once again that bitch karma played a few tricks and made so it where I was sitting I was joined by the boy once again and his friend. His friend was not as tall as him but was also very cute. He was black and had thick glasses but had a great smile.
"Hi again!" The boy looked absolutely enthusiastic to see me again; I however did not share the feeling.
"Hello" I glared at him to show him that I was angry.
"Alan introduce me to your friend!" The boy's friend was now beaming at me and laughing in-between his words.
"Oh, well this is uhh…well I don't know her name yet but we keep bumping into each other." He looked at me and winked I showed no emotion to tell him that he was not welcome to sit there. But he didn't take the hint. He and his friend sat down. His friend how was much more friendly then the boy stretched out his hand for a hand shake and introduced himself as Rex, and told me that his ugly pissy friend was Alan. The face Alan made was priceless he was so pissed it made me happy to see him that angry.
"So what other classes do you have?" I really like Alan's friend he is genuinely interested in what I have to say unlike Alan who is a poop.
"Well, I have first period choir, then math, then photography, then English, lunch, science, history, and then Spanish."
"Cool we have science together and you me and Alan all have Spanish together! But it sounds like you have a lot of classes with Alan!"
"Great." I sounded less than happy to hear this and I guess Alan figured that out.
"Well, I don't want to have classes with you either. You're ugly."
Alan got up and walked away.
"Don't worry about him he doesn't know how to talk to girls he likes. Oh by the way it was really funny how you walked into first period photo this morning Mrs. Johnson almost pissed herself she was so angry."
"He dose not like me you heard him he thinks I'm ugly. And I didn't do that on purpose you friend…"
"He doesn't think you are ugly he thinks your really hot he told me third period. I wouldn't put a lot of thought into it though; he really isn't an ass hole he just gets offended easily. I think it's about time for Science I can walk you to class if you want and I promise to walk you to the right class if you want." We laughed clearly Alan had told Rex about showing me to the wrong class. We went to science which was surprisingly not that bad although I am a bad science student I went to the rest of my classes and then headed for my last class of this nightmare of a day they call school.
Spanish was a disaster I an the worse at speaking it and worse is our first test is in two weeks on something that I have no idea what to do. Maybe I can ask Rex for help he seems to know what he is doing. Maybe if Alan wasn't insulting me in another language I would be able to concentrate better and learn more. It is bad enough when he calls me ugly in English but to hear all day Raquel esta muy fea (Raquel is very ugly) and Raquel es menos inteliente que Jorge (Raquel is dumber than George) (The boy's Spanish name mine was Raquel because that is already a name of Spanish origin although I thought that boy's name should be cerdo gordo (fat pig), but I didn't have any say in the picking of the names.)
After school I got into my car and drove home. It took longer to get home because I got lost twice. When I got out of my car I heard someone yelling my name.
"RAQUEL! Hey!" It was the boy, Rex, and another boy who was called Caveman by the other two boys. It turns out that they all live within four blocks of me. You can guess I was less than excited to find out that the spawn of Satan lived only two blocks from me.
"I didn't know that you lived here. You should walk with us sometime, its fun."
Rex is so sweet he is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. I would not give up this opportunity to spend time with him because he was the closest thing I had to a friend right now and that guy they called Caveman did seem really sweet too. I was glad that I was meeting new people and I was excited to be invited to walk to school with them even if it meant spending even more time with Alan ( Alan was his name but I like fat pig better).
"I would love to walk with you guys sometime." I looked directly at Alan and smiled he still seemed sore over the falling out we had during lunch. I was not going to give in though even though Alan was being stupid and very immature I was not going to show it.
"Great! We can meet you here at eight tomorrow morning! We'll see ya later Raquel!" Eight in the morning seemed really early to me but maybe it wont be that bad. Although it must take a long time to walk. Can't these boys drive?
Rex, Alan, and Caveman walked away and I turned back to face my house but I was bumped into by a tall figure. The tall figure had a harsh voice and spoke loudly.
"Hey pretty lady are you lost can I walk you home?"
I quickly thought of an excuse not to walk anywhere with him.
"Uh, no thanks." I looked at my house and then to him and then to my house again. "I think I can handle it thank you." With that I walked quickly and didn't even notice the boys that were gathering behind him. I was relieved when I reached my house. I didn't know what to do but I hoped that I would never see him again.
