PLAYA LINDA HIGH SCHOOL

Back in the Old Days

Sunday- We all remember the days back in kindergarten when boys were icky, getting high means being the highest on the swings, smoking meant fire, sleeping with someone was having a friend stay over, school was nothing but a joke, and cliques were non existent. Those days are over. This is High School and everything has changed. Now everyone smokes, gets high, and if you sleep with someone you're automatically a slut. This isn't the life we all imagined as 5-year-olds, oh lord I wish I could go back!

Hope closed her leather journal and put the pen into the little pouch on the side of the journal. She sighed and went to bed. The next day was going to be just another day as a senior at Playa Linda High.

Walking into the school in the morning, Hope was immediately recognized by some people before she even felt like her eyes were open. "Hey girl what's up" her best friend Michelle smiled dragging her feet towards the very much out of it Hope.

Being probably one of the most popular girls at Playa Linda Hope was easily recognized by just about everyone and somehow everyone wanted to be friends with her. Along with being sweet, she was gorgeous, talented and every guy seemed to be interested in her, perfect right? Not so much.

Hope was a lot different then most people imagined, she loved sitting at home and writing, playing with her little sister who seemed to look up to her more then anyone else, and even though being a cheerleader; Hope loved being able to dance by herself and just relax.

The day started off slow and she knew it wouldn't change too much anyways so she didn't bother with trying.

"Mrs. White, are you with us" Hope jolted awake and looked up at the teacher who was about 5 inches away from her face. "Yeah sorry" she responded and brushed her face off.

A knock on the door about 20 minutes later was Hope's second wake-up call and she groaned, pissed no one let her sleep. The teacher stepped outside the room for a minute and as soon as the door closed she heard her name.

"Hey Hope!" she turned around to see one of the basketball player winking at her and then threw a paper airplane her way. She reached under the desk, picked up the airplane and throwing the cutie Shawn one of her million-dollar smiles she read it.

Hey baby, want to meet today after practice for a quick…'hang out' time?

Shawn was one of the cutest players; he was tall, spiky brown hair, and an adorable smile to die for. Also, he was one of the biggest potheads at school. Hope wasn't interested. She loved being a flirt, she loved having her own fun but wasn't much into the whole dating thing.

Taking out a pen she scribbled on the piece of paper and tossed it back. He opened the paper and smiled at her, happy that she FINALLY accepted after he had asked her out the last 30 million times, just hoped she wasn't leading him on like she did with all the other guys.

Sure, how about we go to Starbucks and get coffee and …hang out?

Looking up the teacher walked in and a guy was walking behind her. He looked sort of upset and had his head hung low. Probably a new student to Playa Linda, not really bothering to pay attention she put her stuff away and waited for the bell to ring, it was going to ring in about 5 minutes.

Pulling out her purse, Hope re-applied her makeup and the sighed throwing her jacket on. She looked to the side and saw the guy leaning on his desk. He seemed kind of cute.

"Hey, umm can you help me" he pulled out his schedule.

"Sure no problem" She leaned over to help him find his way around. Being new sucked, she knew it, and didn't want this cutie to go through the same thing.

"By the way I'm Bradin Westerly" he shook her hand. "Hope White" she told him smiling. She flipped her blonde hair back and blinked her eyes. She saw that he seemed like he was about to drool.

Not really paying attention to it before now she noticed, Bradin was gorgeous! He had on a double layered polo, khakis, and his blonde hair a little over his eyes.

The bell rang. Hope showed Bradin to his class and finally school ended. She walked into practice with all the girls and threw her bag onto the floor. "Ok we ready to finish this routine finally so we can practice it BEFORE the competition!" she roared over the crowd of girls.

"Whatever Hope, let's just get to work" the girls finished the routine finally and happy, Hope grabbed her stuff and decided to meet up with Shawn, she was going to ditch him like she usually does. That's the same thing she always does, its just Hope White and it's her regular routine.

After practice she caught up with Shawn at the parking lot. "So we going to get coffee" she nodded. "Sure, let's go" he opened the door for her and waited for her to get in. Hope had never realized how sweet Shawn actually was.

They chatted for a while. Soon it got late and Hope decided it was time to go home. It was starting to get dark already and she was still in her practice clothes when the cold breeze blew. "Brrr…kind of cold…yeah I need to go" he took her hand but she pulled away.

"Shawn it was one time…and it wasn't even a date…let's just be…friends ok" she smiled at him. Noticing he was a little disappointed she felt sort of bad, but knew it was better, she wasn't the type of girl to hold a relationship.

They drove to her house in almost complete silence and it was really awkward. She knew that Shawn liked her but right now wasn't too sure. Everything had been a little chaotic lately and Shawn was not really her type of guy anyways, also, she was sure all he wanted her for was a booty call. Being known as the school whore, Hope didn't really bother trusting any guy.

"So have fun" he tried to make conversation nervously as they got to her house. Her parents were out, like always. Her dad owned a private business and they were pretty rich. She lived on the edge of town, drove a BMW, and had a huge mansion with about 3 floors and a room the size of about 4 classrooms.

They walked inside and Hope closed the door. "So yeah I guess I need to go" Shawn clapped his hands together and bit his lip. "Do I get a goodbye hug, kiss" she smiled and walked up to him teasingly. This was natural for her, she was used to being a flirt, a tease, and it was what she did all the time.

She leaned in and slowly pressed her lips against his. He wasn't surprised; she guessed that this was what he wanted in the first place. They collapsed onto her couch with him on top. She sighed as his hands roamed up her shirt and slowly slid it off.

Hope was controlled by mainly the smoke, he was high and she felt it now, she had been in the car as him and confessing to herself she had taken a few hits. She was pretty much gone but knew what she was doing nevertheless.

"You are so amazing baby" he moaned as she pulled his clothes off. She continued kissing him and flipping him over she slipped his pants off and kissing her way down gave him head. Watching his eyes she saw his eyes halfway closed and a smile on his face.

"You're incredible" she moaned as he kissed her neck, slowly sucking on little spots. She relaxed and wondered how it was possible that this became so natural with her. Again she closed her eyes as tears poured down her face, he slipped into her and again, she slept with another guy she barely knew.

They laid on the couch afterwards, him brushing the hair out of her eyes and kissing her cheeks. "You're so amazing Hope" she got up and pulled her clothes on. "You need to go Shawn" she made him get dressed and in a matter of minutes he was gone.

As he left she got up and got out and into the shower. Wanting more then anything to wash off everything that happened, Hope scrubbed her body down and let the cool water pour over her. She got into her pajamas and got online. Her friend Michelle was on:

ChelleGirl06: Hey gurl!

0xXHopeAngelXx0: Heyy babeee! Wattupp

ChelleGirl06: Not much…soo how was Shawnyy in bed? LOL

Hope gasped, how was it possible that she already knew!

0xXHopeAngelXx0: What are you TALKING about!

ChelleGirl06: I know what happened…you little whorree! I'll cyaa tomorrow moms yellin at me..LUVVV YAAA!

ChelleGirl06 Signed Off

Hope groaned slapping a pillow over her head. She knew this would spread and once again her slut reputation follows.

"What did you do Hope!" she yelled at herself. Slowly she turned around and pulling out a picture she held it close to her. A picture of her and her friend Jessica while they were still little, they were best friends. Jessica was killed in an accident about 2 years ago, she was one person that knew Hope for Hope and not the girl everyone knew. Clutching it close to her heart Hope cried herself to sleep, wanting to go back to the time when everything was ok, back to the old days…
