My Not So Perfect Life
Chapter 1
Ok, so I am finally starting the story but first, I have a quick note.
To whoever reviewed pretending they were Tabyylynn, I talked to her and now I know you were a faker. I am picking Ryan and if you don't like the character, then don't read the story. I happen to like the character, Ryan, so it is your problem that you don't. Don't try faking again.
Ok everyone else, here is the first chapter (finally!) of My Not So Perfect Life. Enjoy and review!
The bell rings out and everyone is relieved to be away from Sikowitz's lecture about coconuts.
"Wait, wait." Sikowitz holds up his coconut to get everyone's attention. The class turn around and look back at the crazy teacher.
"Tori, Andre, Jade, Beck, Cat, Robbie, Annabelle, Ryan, James, India, Jamie please stay behind. I have some exciting news for you." Sikowitz grins at the remaining students.
"If you are inviting us all to a coconut festival, we don't want to come." Tori says, getting ready to leave.
"The coconut festival isn't until January. What I wanted to do was invite you all to a camping trip." The small crowd exchanges looks, some nodding and others suspicious.
"Yay! I love camping! One time, my brother brought a tent, but when he went inside the tent, he-"
"CAT!" Jade and Ryan yell simultaneously. Cat stops speaking and starts whimpering and backing away from the two mean girls.
"Hey!" Everyone turned to the back of the room where the new voice came from. Andre eyes widen, as he is amazed. This girl is beautiful, like Cat, but more mature. "Is someone yelling at my baby cousin?" The young woman says, giving a concerned look to Cat, who by now has a huge smile on her face and is running towards her.
"JANE!" Cat screams, and some people cover their ears.
Cat embraces Jane in a tight hug and Jane hugs her back, possibly tighter.
"Care to tell us who this is?" Annabelle gestures towards Jane.
Cat calms down and introduces Jane to her friends. "Guys this is my older cousin Jane. She comes to visit me lots. Jane, this is Annabelle, Beck, Indy, Andre, Ryan, Tori, James, Jamie, and you know Jadey and Robbie." She gestures to each person as she says their name.
"What about the old guy?" Jane looks weirdly at Sikowitz.
"That's our coconut obsessed improv teacher, Sikowitz. He's not exactly right in the head." James says, giving Sikowitz the same weird look as Jane, wondering if he would ever get used to this crazy teacher.
"Ok… So what did I interrupt?" Jane looks around the classroom, examining the crazy painting of ducks playing poker. Her attention is averted away from the picture as a girl stepped out from behind the crowd.
"Sikowitz is taking us all camping." Indy exclaims. She realises that lots of people are staring at her and looks shyly at the floor, taking a step back. The attention of more than one pair of eyes on her is too much.
"I love camping! I remember when I want camping with Cat and her brother tried to-"
"Well I guess we see that cat's personality runs in the family." Beck interrupted Jane's rant.
"Hey guys, can Jane come camping with us too." Cat asks, jumping up and down.
"Yes of course!" Sikowitz grins. Cat and Jane jump with joy while the others sigh, wondering if they could cope with another Cat. Andre, however, is pleased because to him, Jane seems… Interesting.
So there you have it, the first chapter of My Not So Perfect Life. Please tell me if I have your characters all wrong. I will be doing different POVs and you will get to know the characters much better. What do you think?
