Chapter Sixteen: First Day
After delivering Sam back to Chuck, Clementine couldn't help outlining her lips with her fingers. Yesterday, she let Gabriel kiss her. She kissed him back. Enjoying his lips massaging hers softly to rough. Brushing against each other privates like animals in heat. The thrill it gave her when he sucked on her neck.
"Damn. What's wrong with me?" She asked herself. Never in her life she expected to do stuff like that. Especially when Lee told her 'no sex' in the car. What could had happened if she never stopped Gabe?
Whatever were to happen, she was not ready for it.
She took a deep breath and went in the house to see AJ eating cereal as he watched Disco Broccoli. He rocked his tapered afro, Adidas joggers, black sneakers, and a college football tee. It's his freshman year so he's a bit nervous to go without Clementine.
Clementine had on a black shirt with orange stripes, fitted high waisted jeans with folded hems, and Dr. Martin black ankle boots. Her hair was tied into a high afro bun with a few curls sprung out on the side of her ears and forehead. Of course, she wanted to show off her new tattoo behind her ear and the one on her nape.
Clementine sat next to AJ. He finished his cereal, setting it in the dishwasher and sat back down on the stool. Sighing heavily.
"Ready, Goofball." She smiled. Trying to make him feel at ease. AJ raised his brow. Dragging an exaggeration sigh.
"Call me Alvin Jr at school." He told her. He yanked his backpack and swung the strap over his shoulder. Clem grabbed a cotton tote bag with a zombie on it.
"Um. Sure. But don't get mad if I slip." She stuck her tongue out. AJ rolled his eyes.
"Are you guys leaving?" Carley and Lee came down the stairs. The teens nodded their head.
"Yeah. We have to make it to their opening ceremony by seven forty five." Clem ran up to hug her parents. They hugged her back. Lee kissed Clem's cheek.
"Stay safe on the road. And watch out for your cousin." Lee pointed at AJ. AJ smiled. He went up to join in the hug.
"She doesn't need to worry about me. I can handle myself. I'll watch over her." AJ smiled at Clem. She flicked his forehead. The boy groaned as he rubbed his forehead.
"Oh really. Let's see who will be watching who. Bye guys." She waved as she made it out the door to her jeep. AJ followed behind after saying good bye.
Lee stood there with his wife. He couldn't believe Clem has two more years left and then she's off to college. He just wanted to hold her tight in his arms. Loving her and watching her grow was the greatest gift.
Her parents above would be proud to see her now. She became a troublesome girl with a great attitude and head over her shoulders. She's outstanding in school, has a social life, contribute in family events or gatherings, and sweet with her neighbors. Clem's a good kid.
His lil' Sweetpea.

Clammy hands held the stirring wheel. The orange jeep parked in the school's parking lot along with other vehicles. Teens scattered the place as they reunited with friends and headed inside.
Clem and AJ didn't budge out the car. They stared at the huge school with fear. Clem counted mentally in her head. When she got to ten, she glanced at AJ. She placed her hand on his shoulder. He flinched from her touch. Her thumb rubbed his shoulder. He calmed down a bit.
"Let's go. We have to...face it together." She smiled at him softly. AJ frowned a bit. It sucks to be younger than Clem. He secretly wanted to have classes with her. He didn't have much friends around his age.
"Yeah. Okay." He forced himself out the car. Clem done the same thing. They adjusted their bags over their shoulder and followed the crowd in the building into the fancy auditorium.
"Yo!" Someone screamed. Clem turned her head to see Duck, Mariana, and...Gabriel. to not make things awkward, Clem dragged AJ with her to greet them. She sat next to Duck. AJ sat next to Clem.
"Finally made it. I heard from dad, ya got ya whip! Congrats!" Duck hugged the small girl. Clem giggled.
"Thanks. I called Kenny and he told me how he almost fought some guy over it. I'm thankful he has good taste in cars." She chuckled. Duck grinned.
"Old man knows cars. Mu car in the shop getting a paint job. I'm adding...rubber duckies on the side of the rear." Excitement in his voice made Clem happy.
"So cute. I can not wait to see it." Clem smiled.
"Are you going to put ducks on everything you own?" AJ tilted his head. Duck shrugged.
"Of course. It's my thing." He proudly said. AJ shook his head.
"Yeah. His first stuff toy was a duck. And he still has it." Gabe announced. Duck narrowed his eyes.
"Donald Daff is his name. Respect my stuff duck."
"Respect these nuts bitchessss!" Ava showed up with Sophie, Minerva, and Violet. They sat behind them. Clem waved at them until Ava hopped over and sat on Clem's lap.
"I saw that bright ass jeep outside. Knew it was yours. Show off." She hugged her best friend. Clem rolled her eyes.
"Isn't it cute."
"Too freaking cute." Ava's lips widen. She was proud her friend finally got a car. Now they can race the streets.
"Ava, cuddle me." Sophie whined. Clem heard the tall girl groaned low with a quick eye roll. She stood up and climbed over the chair to sit next to Sophie.
Clem ignored them. She got distracting seeing Marlon and Louis making a noisy entrance. The boys hollered loud and proud as they danced around like tribal performers. Brody shield her face as she brushed pass them to sit beside Minerva.
"SENIORS! SENIORS! SENIORS!" They chanted. Another guy showed up and it was Mitch stomping into the beat. Other guys shouted along with them causing a parade in the auditorium.
Clem and the others laughed at the boys being idiots. Rough housing and clapping in unison. Most of the seniors in the room got up cheering along until the principal of Ericson came through the stage curtains to the center of the stage. She tapped the microphone.
The boys settled down and sat in seats. Louis, Mitch, Willy, Marlon and an Asian dude sat near the main group.
Louis caught Clem's eyes. He winked at her with a smirk. She gave him a simple wave and turned to face the stage.
AJ sat back, slouching against Clem's side.
"I'm glad it's a half day." He mumbled. Clem shook her head.

Clementine separated from AJ after looking for her home room and other classes.
So far so good. Clem went through the day with no trouble. The teachers were okay except for two. Not much students from her classes talked to her. She didn't bother interacting with them for the first day.
Surprisingly her two AP classes, she shared them with Brody, Louis, Sophie, Aasim, and Minerva.
For math AP, Clementine sat next to Brody. Sophie forced herself to sit with Louis. The boy mentally cussed as he moved his seat near the window. Sophie awkwardly looked at him. Not sure what to say to him.
After his outburst, she felt empty without him. Spending time with Ava the last few weeks before school kept her feeling loved. She feared that Ava would leave her too. She didn't want to lose her.
Spending time with Louis for the summer was magically. She always enjoyed his charming smile, and both shared a flashy fashion sense. He was perfect to her. Finding out he liked her sister devastated her. Minerva was not flashy or as popular as Sophie. Sophie knew she was the pretty twin.
Minerva had the talent and personality. Her songs expressed her heart and soul. Touching everyone's heart with her angelic soulful voice. Something Louis admired and fell for.
Sophie didn't understand Louis's feelings for Minerva. She knew Minerva had demons of her own. The ugly side of Minerva, Sophie felt she had a chance to over stage her emo sister.
Sophie glanced at Louis. Deep down, she hoped he'll come back to her. He fit her dream guy image. Perfect beside her.
She sighed as she faced her sister far at the other side of the room. Minerva minded her business. Texting Violet throughout the AP math introduction.
Hours passed by. Six to Seven classes were a blur. Luckily, no one did not receive any homework the first day of school. The students evacuated the rooms to exit out the building.
Clementine saw AJ talking to a tall skinny teen. He had dark skin, low fro, a flannel and jeans. Clem smiled to herself. Glad that her cousin making friends.
"Look at that. AJ making friends." Ava stared at the freshman boys. Clem sighed happily.
"Yup. I hope he has a great time here... I hope things work out for me too." Clem said as she glanced up at Ava. Ava hugged Clem with one arm around her shoulder.
"How do you like Ericson so far?" They took a couple of steps towards the door.
"Quite chill. Nothing much happen. The teachers are cool. Except for that Larry and Lily." Clem scrunched up her nose. Ava raised the corner of her lip.
"Word. They're fucking shit heads. Beware them. They give out detention slips like Halloween candy." Ava told her. Clem laughed. But the serious face her friend had stopped her.
"You're serious?"
"Dead ass."
"Shit." She cussed. A large group of teens broke them up. Marlon set his arms over the girl's shoulders.
"Wanna chill at my place for a small party?" He asked them both. Clem swiftly moved away from his arm. Backing up, she bumped her back on someone. She turned to see Louis.
"You should come. Juniors and seniors only." He smiled. Clem tightened her lips. Folding her arms as she stepped down the stairs.
"I have to drop off my cousin home and sleep for tomorrow." Clem tried to avoid from going. This her first week of school. She was not trying to ruin it by getting wasted.
Louis pouted for a second. Marlon sighed. Thinking that convincing her was shit out of luck. Brody came up to Clem.
"C'mon Clem. This week will be laid back. In three weeks, work will pile up. Hang out with us." Brody smiled. Ava eagerly nodded her head with a smile.
"A few drinks before hitting the books." With the help of Ava, Clem couldn't refuse. She eyed the gang. She rolled her eyes up before telling them she'll go change.
AJ said his good bye to new friend. His friend went towards the twins and entered a green truck with them.
AJ made his way to Clem. As they got in the car, they shared their experiences. She dropped him off at his place and headed to hers.
She told Carley and Lee that she's going out. They approved, and she went up to her room to get ready for the party.
Her phone went off and she went to check it seeing a text from Gabe.
Her heart dropped.
Gabe: Duck texted me to pick you up. Is that alright with you?
Clem hesitated. Nothing going to happen. This is Gabe. Her close friend.
They kissed. It happened before. Two small mistakes.
Nothing should go wrong.
Clem: I don't mind
