Chapter 8

On Monday morning, Steve woke the girls up after making them chocolate chip pancakes. "Dad, do we have to go to school today?"

"Yes, you have to go to school today, Livy. Why, are you scared to go to school?"

"What if no one likes me there?"

"They're going to love you, Livy. Just be my sweet little mouse and everyone will love you."

"Thanks, daddy."

"What about you, Allie cat, you nervous?"

"Not really. Just want to get today over with."

"Well that's not a great attitude. You should be a little excited, you're starting a new school on an island paradise."

"I liked my old school."

"I know, baby, but you'll like Kukui High."

"How do you know?"

"Because I'm your father and I know these things."

"Dad, that answer may have been sufficient when I was four, but not ten years later."

"Oh great."

"What?"

"The oh great is for the fact that your mother got you girls when you were cute and little and I get the surly teenage years."

"Whatever." Allie said getting up and going to her room.

"I really hate that word." Steve muttered under his breath causing Liv to laugh.

"So, Liv, what about you, you excited?" But Liv ignored his question. "Livy? Great, now you're ignoring me too? Come on, mouse, talk to me." But she continued to ignore him and took her plate to the sink. "Why are you mad?"

"You called me a surly teenager. I will have you know that I'm still adorable." Then she went upstairs to get her backpack.

"I was just-" he was cut off by the door being slammed. "kidding. Great." Steve looked at his watch and yelled from the bottom of the stairs, "Hurry up, we got to go."

Steve was running late but fortunately for him both of his girls schools were two streets away from each other. He stopped in front of Liv's school and said, "Livy, here we are. Mouse, do you want met come in with you?"

"No, I've got it."

"Alright. You wait here after school and Allie will pick you up. Love you, mouse, and good luck."

"Love you too." She said before walking into the room.

Steve then drove Allie to her school and stopped her before she could get out of the car. "Hey, Allie, after school, go to Livy's school, pick her up and then go home. Call me when you get there because I want to make sure you two are at home."

"Fine."

"Do you want me to walk in with you?" He said getting ready to walk out of the car.

"No! God, dad, I'm not five anymore."

"Alright. Fine. Have a good day."

"Bye."

Allie walked out of the car and started looking around. She didn't talk to anyone and went into homeroom. She saw her homeroom teacher and approached her. "Oh, you must be Alessandra McGarrett?"

"Yeah."

"Class we have a new student joining us, Alessandra McGarrett. Tell us a bit about yourself."

"Well I'm from L.A. and I go by Allie."

"Alright, thank you, Allie. You can take a seat next to Kei Palakiko and Leia Mahoe."

Allie sat down next to the two and smiled at them after they smiled at her. "What kind of name is Alessandra?" A girl behind her whispered to another girl."

Allie turned around and gave her a nasty look, "It's Italian and it is a variation of the name Alexandra."

"Ooh. So I guess that makes you think that you are more unique than everyone else because your from fancy Tinsel Town with you fancy name?"

"Not everyone."

"You better watch yourself, new girl."

The rest of the day was like a blur for Allie. Just meeting her teachers and trying to think of a way of how she was going to catch up with all of her schoolwork. Her teachers kept piling work on top of work for her to do. She had to read eight chapters for a history exam, read "To Kill a Mockingbird" to write an essay and prepare for their final exam for the book, learn a whole bunch of psychology and health terms, and finish an art project that everyone else had started weeks ago. Fortunately, though, she was ahead in Spanish, and she was caught up in biology and algebra. She was in all honors course and it was going to be tough but she knew she could handle it.

As she was walking to lunch, some jackass tried to grab her ass. She grabbed his hand and twisted it to hurt him just a bit. "Hands off, creep." she said before walking away and sat at a table.

Another girl was sitting at the table when Allie sat down. "That was really cool." Allie looked up and saw it was Leia Mahoe.

"What? Oh yeah."

"How did you learn that?"

"My mom took me and my sister to boxing classes and my dad, grandpa, and uncles are all Navy so I learned."

"That's really cool. And it will probably be useful around here. Most of the guys around here are jerks that think they can do whatever they want."

"Good to know."

By the end of the day, Allie was at her locker and was putting her books away when she approached by a junior. "Hey, hottie, I was wondering if you went to this school. I saw you the other day at the football game."

"Yeah. I know. I saw you too."

"So you want to go out sometime?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't even know your name."

"My name is Neal Michaels and I'm a sophomore. And your Allie."

"That's right."

"So you want to go out sometime?"

"No." she said walking away.

After school, Allie went to pick her sister up and took her home. She tried to do as much homework as she could but she wanted to go to the beach. "Hey, Livy, let's go to the beach."

"O.k."
