Meeting
"Vanessa!" I groaned. "Vanessa wake up and do the chores!" My step-mother yelled into the intercom. I looked at the clock to see it was 6:30 in the morning school didn't start for another 2 hours, unfortunately, so I pressed the button and yelled. "I'm up!"
I got up and grabbed a pair of blue skinny jeans a black tank top, my red jacket and my red converse. When I was done I looked onto the mirror.
I was around 5'1 and about 105 pounds. I have dark brown chocolaty hair with light brown highlights that curves perfectly to my shoulders, I have hazel eyes and tan skin…but to me I am just a 15 year old girl who is just trying to make it through the day.
I ran downstairs to see my step-mom, Trish, sitting on the couch, she had short dirty blond hair, and she was fat just like her daughters.
"Make breakfast, lunch, check the girls cloths, do their homework and so the laundry." She said.
I did everything she told me to and by time I was done my evil snot nose wanna be preps that I have to call step sisters came down. My step-mother thought they were perfect, trust me they are not. Erika is the oldest, she's 16 about 5'6, 130 pounds, she has stringy dirty blond hair and dull blue eyes. Collene, her twin, looks exactly like her except she was 5'5 and 135 pounds. They came stomping down the stairs so I carried the plates and what do they do? Complain.
"Ugh…my egg is to runny." Erika whined.
"And my bacon isn't crispy." Colene whined.
"Girls here just pick up something you only have 20 minuets. Vanessa I want you to come to my office now." Trish said.
"Why do you always pick on the girls! I have done SO much for you and this is how you repay me?" Trish yelled, she hasn't done anything for me. Never. "My girls cant have runny eggs and non-crispy bacon!" She yelled as she picked up a vase and threw it at me, I ducked just in time, but then she came at me, out of all the times she's had done this I never screamed, begged, or cried. She never hits my face because that would make it obvious, she always aims for my stomach, she hates that I don't cry, because I am not going to let her win. After 5 or so minuets she stopped.
"No go!" She yelled. I got up and walked out. I grabbed my stuff and walked off to school, which only was a 5 minuet walk.
I walked into the school, it was the second month, and went to my homeroom, I have math first, I walked in to see Mrs. Walker at the bored and everyone talking. I didn't have any friends because Erika and Colene rumors about me. My only friend, Jessica, is in math but has Mr. Chambers. I walked into the back and waited till class started.
"Vanessa Collins your needed in the office I repeat Vanessa Collins your need in the office." The announcer pulled me out of my thoughts. I picked up my nag and walked to the office. When I got there, there were two boys. One looked around sixteen, he was around 5'8 or so, he had short curly brown hair and brown eyes. The other one looked around fourteen, he had black straight hair and brown eyes.
"Vanessa this is Kevin and Joe, their new so you think you can help them for a few days?" The principle asked. I just nodded. "Thank you." She said then walked off.
"Hi I'm Joe nice to meet ya. This is sooo awesome. Are you in my grade? How old are you? What do you like to do? I like to sing." He's SO hyper, he's like a little ball of energy.
"Joseph." I guess Kevin scolded.
"Sorry." Joe said.
"Its ok. Umm…nice to meet you Joe, no I am a sophomore, I'm fifteen, not sure and awesome." I said answering all of his questions.
"Umm…aren't you a little to young to be a sophomore…Kevin is only sixteen." Joe said. " Does that mean he's dumb?" He asked.
"No…I am turning sixteen in February." I replied.
"Oh." Was all he said.
"Umm…sorry I am Kevin." Kevin said holding out his hand.
"Hi nice to meet you." I said shaking his hand. "Umm…Joe may I see your schedule please." I asked. "Ok lets go." I said.
I showed Joe all his classes and let him meet all his teachers, then I took him to homeroom. "Umm…if you want I can meet you at Joe's science room to show you the cafeteria." I said and they nodded.
"Bye ya'll." Joe said while leaving.
"Now you." I said as he gave me his schedule. "You have every class with me." I said, so we started walking.
"Awesome." He said.
"Sooo….umm…how is it being famous?" I asked, he looked startled that I asked that.
"How did you know, the principle didn't even say our last names, we're not even really known." He said.
"Umm…I have your CD, so I looked ya'll up and here ya'll are." I said feeling REALLY embarrassed.
"Cool." He said.
"Ha ha yeah." I replied. "So is it?" I asked.
"Its good…I guess." He replied.
"Why 'I guess'?" I asked.
" 'Cause you cant be normal. Do you ever feel like you cant do anything?" He asked.
"All the time." I replied.
"It feels like if we ever become big I wont be able to be normal, that's why we're here." He replied. "It feels like everyone would only be our friends because we're famous." He said.
"I wont tell anyone…to be honest I am probably the only one in all New Jersey who knows you." I said.
"That's good." He replied. "Do you have a cell phone?" He asked.
"Umm…yeah." I said, my dad had gotten me one before he died. I have a credit card incase of emergencies, my dad put about who knows how much on it because it leads to my moms bank account, it could be his also but they couldn't find the will, but she gave it all to me so I can pay for just about anything.
"Well can I have your number?" He asked while pulling out his black sidekick.
"Ok." I said while I pulled out my black sidekick. "Wow same phones." I said.
"Awesome." He said. "Ok my number is 832-577-9908(not real number)." He said.
"Ok…mine is 832-577-0509(not real number)?." I said.
"Awesome…can you text?"
"Yeah I have un-limited…you?" I asked.
"Same." He replied.
"Cool." I said. "So two brothers that must be cool."
"Yeah their awesome…how about you, are you an only child?"
"No I have two step-sisters, their in our grade." I replied.
"Oh…are your parents divorce?" He asked. I am not going to lie to him, he's to nice and plus I am going to lose him soon with all the rumors anyways.
"No…they died." I said.
"Oh…umm…I'm sorry." He looked SO upset.
"Its ok." I said.
"Umm…may I ask how?" He asked.
"Don't hesitate to ask me anything." I said.
"Ok same for you." He replied.
"Ok…well my mom died of breast cancer about two years ago, and my dad got married a couple of months later. Umm…one night my dad and I were coming home and a drunk driver hit us. We turned over a couple of times and turned over into a ditch. The drunk hit my side but my dads side hit the poles that we hit before we landed in the ditch his head also banged against the steering wheel. We had a classic car and in the front the seats are one huge seat with two seatbelts, well he pulled me on his lap and held me, he told me right before I passed out to never let anyone stand in the way of your dreams. I woke up a week later my concussion wasn't big but my dads was HUGE, he didn't make it." I explained.
"I'm SO sorry." He said.
"Its cool." I said.
"Have you let anyone stand in the way of your dreams yet?" He asked.
"No and its never going to happen." I said.
"That's good." He said.
"Yeah." I said.
"So your fifteen going on sixteen in February? What's the date?" He asked.
"February 14, Valentines day." I said.
"Ha ha awesome, I bet your boyfriend gets you a lot." He said.
"No I don't have a boyfriend, never have, never will." I said.
"Why not?" He asked.
"My step-sisters spread rumors about me." I said.
"Oh but everyone cant believe it." He said.
"They do. I only have one friend here and her name is Jessica =, I don't have any classes with her,
"One friend…wow I thought you had three."
"Well no." I said.
"I don't count?" He asked sounding hurt.
"You want to be my friend?" I asked.
"Yeah, of course, and Joe, and Nick, so I guess you have four friends now." He said.
"But…no one…I'm NOT popular."
"Why does that matter?"
"Because."
"Well I don't care."
"But then your going to be apart of the rumors.""So."
"You really want to be my friend?"
"Of course."
"Wow."
"Friends?" He asked holding out his hand.
"Friends." I said shaking it.
We walked to class and sat in the back waiting for lunch.
