Chapter 3: Why can't we be friends?
School. The worst place on earth. I really didn't wanna go to first period, so I ditched to the bleachers. This school was the pits, no one here is cool!!
"Um, excuse me!" A girl's voice echoed up the silver steps at me, interrupting my thoughts. I looked down at her. She wore a heavy black jacket with a doll sticking out of one of the pockets. Her dark brown hair waved to just above her shoulders. "Excuse me!"
I shook my head. "Huh? Oh, yeah, what?" I yelled back to her.
"Can I sit with you? I don't have a first period, and there's no one else around!"
"Yeah, sure. Come on up." I waved her up. 'Why is she wearing such a heavy coat on such a hot day??' Before I knew it, she plopped down next to me.
"Hello, my names Erin, what's yours?" She was nice. The first person who was ever nice to me, besides some of the cheerleaders.
"My names Kevin."
"Kevin..." She thought to herself for a minute as she looked me over. "You wouldn't be Kevin ? THE Kevin ?!" She spoke loudly, but kindly.
"Yeah, that's me. THE Kevin . How'd you know?"
"My friend at my old school loved you, and I drew her-"
I had to cut her off. "Loved?! Loved?!" I laughed. "She loved me?!"
Her face was blank. Obviously she didn't find it funny. I returned her blank look with a distorted one, which she almost fell off the bleachers because of. "You're funny. But, yeah, she was obsessed." I looked down, smirking, the doll looking at me.
"What's that?"
"This is a who, not a that. This is Cid, the most bad-mouthed anime character in the world!!" She pulled out the doll, hugging it tightly.
"By anime you mean cartoon, right?" She froze. Slowly she turned her head to face me. Her eye was twitching.
"Wha-wha-what did you--did you say?" At the moment the bell rang.
"Uh... I have to go to class." I flew down the bleachers, leaving Erin behind.
