Caroline
Thursday, 10:00 PM
"Morgan. Oh. My. Gosh thank goodness you're home. I am freaking out!" I gasped into the phone.
"What's going on now?" Morgan sighed.
"Morgan, the last dance of the year besides Prom is next week! First, I must find a decent guy to go with. Next, I must have a lovely dress, and last I need you guys to be with me," I finished gasping.
"No worries I wouldn't miss this for a thing!" Morgan assured me. "The guys are asking girls, Caroline, so you have no problem. Oh I'm getting another call so I'll call you back!"
"Hey, I'm getting another call too. See Ya!" I finished.
Who could it be from? I changed over calls.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hey Caroline," It was the cheery voice I knew as Scotty's.
He was a friendly boy that has gone to the same school as me since 2nd grade. I rolled my eyes. Now that I'm a senior we're starting to hang out with each other again.
"Hi Scotty what's up?" I asked.
"Well one of the last dances is coming up and since were friends I wanted to know if you would go with me," He said.
Hey he's not that bad. "Sure, it would be fun to go with a friend," I said as calm as I could manage.
"Okay well see ya then," Scotty finished.
"See Ya!" I said. As soon as I hung up I speed dialed Morgan.
"Oh. My. Gosh. Morgan, I just got asked to the dance! It was by Scotty, but still!" I half screamed.
"Caroline, that's awesome! Guess what? My buddy Jackson asked me, just now too!" Morgan freaked out.
"Sweet," I said.
"Morgan, I need to get off the phone. Oh and Morgan?" I asked.
"Yes?"
"Don't tell Jillian I'm going with Scotty, she has a major crush on him!" I announced.
"Okay, see you later!" Morgan said then hung up.
Scotty, he might not be Orlando Bloom but he was a whole lot better some guys at my school. Besides it's not like I was gonna get asked by Austin anyway. I quickly turned down my bed and hopped in.
This was going to be a long week. Especially with my friends around constantly distracting me from what is really important. School, Fashion, and Boys! I closed my eyes and prayed for great day (or date) tomorrow. And I drifted off into a long sleep.
"Time to wake up! Time to wake up!" Where is the snooze button to my stinkin' alarm! "Time to wake up! Time to wake-
"Fine I'll get up!" I shouted and slammed the snooze button.
"Honey, who are you talking to?" My mom asked striding in.
"No one. And don't you ever knock?" I asked.
"No. Not really."
I rolled my eyes and logged onto my E-mail. It had 10 unread messages. The first one was from Alicia.
Caroline,
What's up? Spencer asked me to the dance. He's kind-of cute so I said yes. Who are you going with? Well I'll see you round.
Alicia
I'm not surprised Spencer asked her. I think he likes Alicia.
Alicia,
I'm going to the dance with Scotty. Let's go shopping for dresses this afternoon once school is over. Okay see ya.
I should probably get ready for school before I worry about the others. I quickly made my bed, got dressed, did my hair, and ate breakfast. I rushed out the door with my mom.
"Is there a boy that you want to go to the prom with?" Mom asked once we were in the car and halfway to school.
"No. There isn't really anyone who I love."
"Oh, I was thinking just a guy that you liked," Mom said.
"Oh," I just barely murmured.
"Honey is there something you want to talk to me about?" Mom said.
"Mom, we're here. See you," I grabbed my bag and hopped out of the car. Another boring day. I walked to the patio where the other seniors were waiting.
"Clara!" I called seeing her.
Alicia, Clara, Jane, and Morgan turned around.
"Hey Caroline!" My four friends all said at once.
"Hey! Do you guys want to go to the mall with me after school?" I asked.
Alicia, Clara, and Morgan all shouted, "Yes!" and Jane murmured, "Fine. I'll go," We all laughed.
Suddenly the bell rang. "See you guys!" I yelled waving. Alicia, Clara, and I were heading for P.E.
"I'm so excited about prom!" Alicia shrieked.
"I know it's going to be awesome!" Clara and I yelled. A teacher glared at us as we walked by.
"Hi Mrs. Johnson," Clara, Alicia, and I said in perfect unison. "Hi girls," Mrs. Johnson replied.
We all were heading to the locker room when our principal came in and whispered something to Mrs. Johnson.
"Okay class today we have a new student," She said.
He walked in and... I'm not sure… am I thinking clearly? He had a beautiful face, with lovely, green grass-colored eyes, though they was hard to see because he was studying his feet, and his shining black hair was sweeping across his face.
I realized I must look like an idiot. Then I also realized every other girl in class was also staring at him.
"He has the face of an angel," Alicia whispered to me.
"His name is Edward," Clara whispered.
"How do you know that?" I asked my eyes slowing detaching from Edward.
"The teacher just said it."
"Oh," I said slightly embarrassed. The rest of the class period was a blur to me and I had a feeling it wasn't just me. Edward seemed to be occupying all our minds. I don't remember the bell ringing, but suddenly I was walking to chorus. Instantly my mind was back on, but Edward was still there.
In chorus I noticed a new girl. Three of them. Maybe the three were related to Edward. Two of them had the same angel-like face, but looked nothing like him.
The third was beautiful. She had the same black hair, as Edward, except hers was long and curly, and her eyes were strikingly lovely. They looked liked two emeralds, just like his.
The other two girls were pretty too. One had Blonde hair that looked satin and ocean-blue eyes. The eyes also looked… what is it… Sapphire!
And the last girl had amber brown eyes and brown flowing hair.
"Caroline!" I whipped around.
"Oh, hi Morgan!"
"Today we free-sing! DL wants to hear us in solos or small groups. She also is going to let us pick our song. Wanna work with me?" Morgan finished.
"Of course!" I instantly replied. "Do you want to sing 'Dancing Queen' from Mamma Mia?"
"I love that song!" Morgan shouted.
"Shh…" We both looked over at the same time and saw DL staring at us. We spent half the period practicing.
The talent show went by fast. We did well and most of the class was singing with us. Even the two beautiful girls that didn't look anything like Edward joined in during the chorus. The only girl that didn't join in at some point was the girl with the emerald eyes.
Near the end of the period the girls with amber and sapphire eyes went up. They sang the song from Cinderella "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes". They sounded beautiful. DL, the entire chorus, and me were awestruck. Everyone clapped during and after the performance.
Then the other beautiful girl with emerald eyes went up. She sang a beautiful song that was in a language that sounded French. When she finished we were speechless. That song was so lovely and graceful and amazing. There is no word to describe it. The three girls left the room and it suddenly hit me the bell rang. Everyone started rushing out of the room at once.
I made it to science just in time… Omigosh… Edward was sitting at my table! In the seat next to me! Epp! He was starring at his binder.
I sat down quietly. Jillian and Scotty were already there. All the girls were whispering probably about Edward.
"Hey, I'm Scotty," Scotty said with a big smile on his face. Edward gave him a small wave not looking up from his binder.
"Hi I'm Jillian," Jillian said cheerfully. He did another small wave his eyes wandered towards her for a second then went straight back to his binder.
Maybe I had a chance. Who am I kidding?
"I'm Caroline," I murmured hopefully. He didn't even wave. Trying to hide my disappointment I looked around. Then I realized something everyone was starring at our table I turned around and Edward was looking straight at me.
"I'm Edward," He had a small smile on his face. Our eyes had met. His eyes were as beautiful as he was. Then I noticed something. This morning his eyes were a grassy green, now they were a beautiful lime, almost electric, green. Everyone was silent. Edward had just talked to me. I was going to faint.
But all happy moments have to end. He turned back to his binder and sat in silence again. The rest of Science my teacher babbled on about ameba.
I constantly looked at Edward every time I saw his eyes go right back to the teacher.
Sadly the bell had to ring. I was walking out of the room when an idea popped into my head.
"Bye Edward," I called. He whipped around, when he realized I spoke, he grinned and said, "Bye." In that rich, lovely voice that he only spoke to me. Ha.
Suddenly my friend Ellie came up to me.
"How did you do it?" she asked.
"Do what?" I wondered.
"Get Edward to talk to you. I've been in all three of his classes and he hasn't said a word. The only time he moves his eyes it's to look at a teacher or look at a girl for a second. He was starring straight at you. Plus when you said his name his eye color changed did you notice? It's quite strange," Ellie finished.
"You mean people have been trying to get his attention all day?" I asked surprised.
"Yes."
"Wow," Was all I could say.
"Have you met his brothers?" Ellie asked me.
"Brothers?" I asked stunned. "I thought he had three sisters."
"No, they are just friends I think. But, Edward has two brothers; their names are Chris and Jack. They are both really cute too. Personally, I think the six of them, the three girls and three boys, came here to find a mate."
"What?" I asked; she had totally lost me.
"You heard me I think they are looking for a person of the opposite gender." Ellie said.
"Ellie, I need to go to Language Arts." Language Arts was insanely boring, but lunch was coming up soon. Finally, lunch arrived. I had no idea this would be the worst and best lunch of my life.
