Beep. Beep. Beep.
I rolled over and hit the off button. Uh, why does school have to start at seven? Why not, I don't know, ten? I rolled out of bed and headed to my closet. I put on a pair of black skinny jeans that are starting to rip at the knees. I then put on my white Paramore shirt from the Riot! album and orange converse. That's right I have orange converses. I have all the colors except pink. Time to do my hair. I'm glad it's naturally straight, so I just had to brush it in and braid the blue streak.
I walked down stairs and made myself a bowl of cereal. I was pouring out the milk when Wen came down. I ignored him as I washed the bowl out and put it away.
I was about to walk out the kitchen when he started talking, " I'll drive you to school. Well my dad is forcing me," he added as an after thought.
" Oh no, that's okay. I wouldn't want you to waste your gas," I said rolling my eyes.
I headed up the stairs and went back to my room. I put my cell phone in my back pocket, threw my backpack over my shoulder and grabbed my skateboard. When I head back down the stairs, I didn't see Wen. I figured he already left so; I walked out the door and headed to school.

Mesa High was pretty big compared to my other school. It was four stories tall and really wide. As I rode up, people stopped talking to stare at me, figures. I followed the signs to the main office to receive my schedule.
" Hey you. On the skateboard, stop," someone called out. I stopped and turned to see a guy on one of the things that mall caps have.
" Detention!" The guy yelled at me.
" Uh. For what?"
" Skateboarding in the halls," he looked at me like I was an idiot.
" But you have a mall cop thing," I said pointing at him.
" That's because I'm Principal Brennigan," He bellowed. " And who are you?"
" Uh. Olivia White."
" Ah. You're the new person. I'll let you off with a warning with the smart talking but you still have detention today."
" Okay."
Well the principal is a douche. All well, detention isn't too bad. I walked into the main office and saw a lady looking at the computer, never looking up.
" Hi. I'm Olivia White. I need my schedule."
" Here you go," She said handing me a piece of paper, still not looking up.
" Thanks," I murmured as I looked over my schedule. First class was English, joy.
~(-)~
" Hello. I'm Mrs. Song. You can have a seat next to Ms. Banjaree," a lady greeted.
I walked to the only seat left. The girl had long brown hair and she looked Indian.
" Hi. I'm Mo," She greeted me.
" Hey. Olivia. Nice to meet you."
We fell silent when the teacher started talking. I wasn't really listening since they were talking about Shakespeare. The bell finally rang and I started gathering my stuff.
" What class do you have next?" Mo questioned.
"Uh. Astronomy."
" Oh. My boyfriend and friend have that class. Maybe you'll see them."
" Uh. Okay. What's their name?"
" Oh. Sorry, Scott and Charlie."
" Okay."
I walked away and headed in the direction of the science hallway. When I walked in everybody fell silent. I ignored the self-conscious feeling and went to the back of the room where the teacher was.
" Hi. You must be the new student. I'm Mrs. Hunt. There's only one lab station left. It's in between Charlie and Scott. Boy, raise your hands." Two guys raised there hand and turned around. It was the guys from the café.
" Hey," I whispered as I sat down next to them.
" Hey," they both responded at the same time.
" Long time, no see," Charlie whispered.
I chuckled, " I know right."
" What classes do you have?" Scott asked. I handed him my schedule.
" You've got first period with Mo, but I guess you already knew that. Second period with us, but you know that, too. Third period with Mo again. Lunch with Charlie and Stella. And finally you have fourth period with Wen."
" Wen who?" I have a bad feeling about this.
" Ms. White do you have something to tell the class?"
I looked at the power point she was presenting. ' Pluto the Eighth Planet'
" Uh. Pluto's not a planet."
She glared at me but continued with the lesson.
~(-)~
I walked to my next period, trig, with Mo. Apparently her class was across the hall and she waits for Scott or something, I don't know. I stopped listening after they started kissing.
" So how was you astronomy class? Scott said you sit in between him and Charlie."
" I don't think Mrs. Hunt likes me. I corrected her on Pluto not being a planet."
" Yeah. She has a strong belief about that. Oh. Here we are, trig," She said stopping in front of the classroom.
" Hello. You must be Olivia. I'm Mr. Lease. You can have a seat next to Ray," he said pointing a guy who was smirking at me. Wait, that's the guy from the café. Crap! It's already bad enough that I'm going to have to work with him, but know sit next to him.
" Looks like you can't stay away from me," He said as I sat down.
" Shut up," I snarled.
" Make me."
" You shouldn't have said that," I said as I kicked him in his shin.
" DAMN IT!" he yelled.
" Ray Beech, go to the principal's office now," Mr. Lease said pointing a finger at him.
" But-"
" No buts. Out. Now!" Ray sighed, picked up his stuff and left.
Mo caught me before I left, " What'd you do to Ray?"
" Kicked him in the shin."
" You didn't," she said laughing.
I nodded as I laughed with her.

I walked into the cafeteria and saw Charlie waving me over. I smiled and headed towards him. I sat at the chair across to him and pulled my lunch out my backpack.
" Where's your girlfriend?"
" Stella. She tried to start another protest before you came. Now she has to eat lunch in the office and she has detention later."
" Oh. Well, I'll be able to meet her later."
" What do you mean?"
" I have detention later," I said finishing of my peanut butter sandwich.
Charlie was looking up at me with wide eyes, " What did you do? It's your first day!"
" I rode my skateboard inside. I was going to get two since I asked him what's the difference between his mall cop thing and my skateboard."
To my surprise, Charlie started laughing, " That is so true."
" I'll see you later," I said waving as I headed off to History.
~(-)~
" Hi. I'm Mrs. Wright. You can have a seat right there," she said pointing to the seat all the way in the back.
I was one of the first people there, so I watched as the rest of the class filed in. That's when I saw him. Wen. He looked directly at me and frowned. Crap, I hope he doesn't sit here. I crossed my fingers. It didn't work. He came towards me and sat down in the chair next to me.
For the whole period we didn't say a word, instead it was a very uncomfortable silence.
The bell finally rung and I jumped out of my seat and nearly ran to my locker. Once I got to my locker, I pulled out my skateboard and headed toward the guidance office where detention was held.
~(-)~
I walked into the little room and saw two other people. Ray was sitting in the corner glaring at me. I rolled my eyes and sat next to the girl. She looked up at me when I pulled the chair back.
She smiled when I sat down, " You must be Olivia," she said looking at the braided piece of blue in my hair.
" You must be Stella since you're the only girl in here."
She gave me a puzzled look, " Charlie told me about you in lunch. How'd you know I had a blue streak?"
" Charlie."
The rest of detention was pretty fun. We talked about different ways we handle situations, exchanging comebacks and numbers, all while Ray glared at us.
~(-)~
" Olivia! Where have you been?" Sydney asked giving me a hug.
" Detention," I said putting my bag in the stool next to me and sat in the other.
" For what?"
I started telling her about my day as she cooked dinner getting a couple laughs from Sydney and Georgie when she came in from cheerleading practice.
That's how Olivia's day went at school. Long day. Anyway Georgie is now going to be eleven. It fits with the plot so, yeah. Oh and guess what you guys should do? If you said review that's wrong, but it would be nice. Anyway, you should go to my homepage and vote!
