Let the Games Begin.

Frenemies

Today is finally the day.  I have waited seventeen years and finally today is the first day of senior year.  If your wondering who I am, well let me explain, my name is Rose.  I live in a small town name Rosewood. I know ironic, it is a town of 1,400 people.  Which isn't a lot.  My high school if you have guessed is not very big either.  We all know each other.  So when we get new kids, lets just say its a big deal here.   My dad is the local detective and my mom is a ER nurse.  Now back to what I was talking about before...

Today is my first day of senior year and I am super excited.  My best friend Sarah and I are finally co-captains of our softball team and the plan is making it to state this year.  My boyfriend Andrew is the captain of the baseball team and a pitcher just like me.  That's sort of how we got together.  Been about five months now and it is going okay.  We both have plans to get scholarships for college.  He may not take me on the most romantic dates or show me much affection other wanting to swap spit every second.  I mean he is a decent kisser but it doesn't have that spark I thought it would.  

My cell phone started ringing on my bed side table while I was standing in front of my closet trying to figure out what I wanted to wear.  I looked down at the screen to see Sarahs' goofy face on the screen.  I pick it up and answer, "Hey, what's up?" into the phone.  "Whats up? that's really what you say on the most important days of our lives?" she screeches into the phone, let me just say Sarah can be a bit dramatic at times, I blame it on her being the leader of the drama club along with co-captain of the softball team.  "Sarah, calm down everything is going to be fine, I'm guessing you called for an actual reason other than to yell at me?"  I hear her sigh into the phone, "yeah, I'm calm, I just called to ask if you wanted scooters? I'm in line right now" see this is why I love this girl.  "Yeah a strawberry/banana smoothie would be great Sarah, thanks".  She agreed and said she would meet me at school in twenty.  I finally decided on my favorite jean shorts and an off the shoulder short sleeve shirt with my blue converse shoes.  I decide to leave my hair as it is, its naturally blonde and wavy. Also makeups not really my thing so just a bit of mascara and lip gloss it is.  "You got this, Rose" I say into my mirror to hype myself up. 

I got to school with fifteen minutes to spare.  I see Sarah standing by my locker with my smoothie and I can't help but skip over to her to get the deliciousness.  She just laughs because this is normal behavior for me.  The perks of a small town is we keep our lockers the same all four years of high school so each year we don't have to clean it out, so my locker still has stuff like old notebooks and folders in it.  A picture of Andrew and I from prom last year is hanging on the inside while the rest of it is filled with pictures of Sarah and I.  the occasional softball team picture too.  After I put my new books in my locker.  Sarah and I head to the commons because we still have time before class.  Half the school is here and there is an excited buzz in the air that comes with the first day of school.   Andrew and his baseball friends where all standing together.  He notices Sarah and I and waves us over. I hug our friends Trent and Liam and ask how their summers went. Then there is Rikki another girl in my grade.  Let's just say she is here more for the guys, specifically my boyfriend than anybody else.  She is the biggest B!t$h I know but Andrew is oblivious to it.  So I try my best to be polite but she just gets on my nerve and likes to try to make me look stupid in front of Andrew.  She was standing next to Trent and I just tried to ignore her, I wasn't going to let her get to me on the first day of school.  Besides I had everything I ever wanted, she couldn't do anything to me. Boy was I mistaken.....
