Chantal's POV
I can't believe it. School starts in a week. Dad has already signed me up. I'm going to Princeton Plainsboro High School. The school let me choose what classes I wanted to take. Since I'm going to be a sophomore with Caralyn, I'll be in her English, Biology, Geometry, and World History classes, since I don't know the school very well. She's also in my lunch. I'll also be in Band and Orchestra with her. She'll be playing upright bass and I'll be playing violin. Which reminds me, I have to ask dad to rent one for me. The only class we're not together in is my Foods class. She's taking drawing instead.
House is going to drop Caralyn off here so we can go shopping together.
5 minutes later, I hear House's motorcycle pull up. He'll probably hang out with dad while we're shopping. Once dad gives me some money and Caralyn gets hers, we're off.
We take the bus to the mall. We already got letters from the school saying what we need. We both need folders and notebooks for every subject, along with a 3-ring binder. We also need to get a compass, protractor, and ruler for Geometry. For Band, I'll just have to bring my drum sticks every day. I'll probably need a binder for my music. Caralyn will be playing bass and clarinet when there's no bass part. Caralyn also has to get a sketch book for her drawing class. I also want to find cool stuff for in my room. We also decide to get some new clothes. We each got about half of our items needed.
At the mall, we head towards Aèropostale. We each get 2 pairs of jeans.
After that store, we go to Cool Idea. There, I get a black t-shirt that says 'Come to the Dark Side, We Have Cookies', a purple plaid skirt, a really cool black skirt that has a couple spans of purple lace, Victorian style black and purple army-style boots, and a 'Led Zeppelin' t-shirt.
Caralyn got the same skirt as me, only with lime green lace. She also got a Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends tank top, and a really sick raspberry plaid skirt. We also get some fishnet tights. Caralyn also picks up some new picks and purple hair dye and I get some black, lime green and purple nail polish.
At Mango Democracy, we each get a new denim skirt and a tight black long sleeve shirt, that shows a little too much cleavage, but whatever. I also get some neon blue and lime green leggings, while Caralyn got a zip-up blue hoodie. When we're finished there, we go to get some food at the food court.
Caralyn'sPOV
We're at the food court getting food, when my cell goes rings. I look at the caller ID and see that it's my dad.
"Hello?"
"Caralyn, its dad. Cuddy called and assigned me a new case. I argued but I have to go in. Wilson's coming too. You'll have to come to the hospital instead of Wilson's okay? Tell Chantal," and with that, he hung up.
"Chantal, that was my dad. We have to go to the hospital, instead of your dad's. Cuddy gave him a new case," I tell her.
"Okay. I've seen some cool vintage shops on the way. I can look in those for some stuff for my room," she tells me. "'Cause right now, it looks like a furniture stores showroom, there's nothing special that I love. Ya know?"
I nod. There's nothing worse in your house than not having a space to call your own.
We agree on a table and go to get our food. I head to Bourbon chicken and get my favorite, the bourbon chicken with brown rice and a small root beer. I sit down at our table and see Chantal heading towards me. As she sits down, I see she got a toasted chicken sub, a bag of chips, and a fruit punch. As we're munching down, I ask Chantal about the band.
"Hey, do you think we should start a band?" And I take a spoonful of rice.
"I guess. Do you know any guitarists or vocalists?"
"Yeah. They all go to our school. Trevor West and Max Adams can be guitar. Keyboards would be Daniel Collins. Lead vocals would be Scott Weil," I explain to her.
"Okay. When school starts, we can start it. Where will we practice?"
"I'm sure our band teacher will let us. They're all taking band, too."
"Awesome."
As soon as we're done eating, we head to Schmobins, a place that has cool school supplies. We both have backpacks already, so we don't need those, but we do need everything else. We grab baskets and head towards the notebooks.
As we're going there, I spot the most annoying little princess there is. None other than Kristina Smith, with Leah Moss and Chelsea Hoffman on either side. We just walk right past her and into the aisle with notebooks. I choose simple black ones I can doodle on with metallic Sharpies. Chantal gets black and blue ones. As for the binders, I get black ones, again, so I can draw and doodle on them, while Chantal gets black, red, and purple ones.
We also purchase folders, but here at Schmobin's, they have the coolest band folders. I get 'The Who, 'Rolling Stones', and 'Red Hot Chili Peppers' and Chantal gets 'Led Zeppelin', 'Green Day, and 'Simple Plan'.
Once we have all that stuff, we go and get our stuff for Geometry. Then we head towards where the pencils and pens are. I pick up some metallic Sharpies and mechanical pencils, along with some sketching and colored pencils. Chantal gets some multi-colored pens and mechanical pencils.
I run to get a sketch book, while she looks at magnets for her locker. She chooses some, than we both get stuff for our lockers. We have the big ones, right near the band room. We both get a shelf to put in, along with a mirror and a basket that attaches to the door, using magnets.
After we buy all our stuff, we leave. All in all, we each have 3 bags (after shoving clothes in other bags).
Chantal's POV
As we're walking towards dad's work, I see a little vintage shop that looks like it carries posters. We walk in and head towards them. We're both in heaven. I buy some 'Simple Plan', 'Green Day', and 'Good Charlotte' posters. Caralyn gets some with 'The Rolling Stones' and 'The Who'. I also get a cool new pair of drum sticks. They're black with bright green flames.
Further down, I see a store that has iPod speakers. I decide to buy some, so I can tap out drum parts while listening to them in my room. After that, we catch a bus and head to the hospital.
