Ella Heights

Chapter 1: The Trio

"Have a Good day" my mom says as the car pulls up to the front of the school,
"I can't believe my little baby is all grown up now. A junior? Oh my gosh, I swear It was just yesterday when I was cleaning up your diapers that were full of boo-"

"MOM." I quickly say stopping her from finishing the sentence,"I get it. It's not that big of a deal really, it's just the start of another long... stressful... work-filled year. I'm only excited to see my Friends but that's literally it"

"Whatever Son, just promise me you'll have fun.. you've got the school work down pact so stop stressing!! You're only gonna be in highschool once so go ahead and turn up, while you still have the chance."

Did my Mother... really just give me permission to "turn up"....? Hmmmm, interesting.

"Ok Mom, see you later" I said, as the car stopped in front of the school

"Bye baby, have a great day!!"

As my mom drove off, I stop and take a look around. I'm really in this bitch huh? I'm really a junior now. Maybe my mom was right.. maybe this is the year to let loose and just simply enjoy things.. no stress and no worries.
It's go time.
I walk into the front doors and immediately starts all of the loud talking.

"Ayeeee Theo!! Wassup buddy" some random Mexican guy says
Honestly i'm not too well with remembering names..

"Mr. Fashion Icon himself, oh my God you've gotten taller!!!" This short, chubby curly headed light-skin girl screams as she hugs me from behind. I turn around and look, oh my God I should have known.

"Hi Amber", I finally mutter up the courage to say.

Hopefully she recognizes how uncomfortable I am but then again Amber has had the biggest crush on me since we were like in Middle school... I've always tried to nicely let her know that I am not interested and I will never be interested but the girl is oblivious, and quite persistent to be honest.

"So how was your Summer Theo?? I see you've managed to get even cuter" she blushed.

"Umm My summer was pretty good" I awkwardly replied

"That's good... I was thinking about you and I was thinking maybe we could go o-"

Before she could finish the rest of that terrifying sentence, and before I could get any more uncomfortable than I already was, I was saved.. not by the bell but by my big-headed best friend.

"HEY UGLY!!!" a loud voice shouts out from behind, and then I feel a set of long arms grab me by the hair and pull me into a bearhug.

"BJ let me go of me you damn idiot!" I shouted

"Damn Theo, I can't greet my best friend now??, nigga I missed you!!!" He screamed while squeezing me, "Now shutup and let me love you!!!!!

"BJ If you don't get your egghead ass off of me right now.." I yelled in frustration as BJ died of laughter.

Amber walked away, and me and BJ just stood there in the middle of the hallway now both laughing now. He was one of the closest people to me, we were like Kenan & Kel mixed with Drake & Josh, it's kinda crazy right? We were alike in so many ways, but also kinda different, but one thing is for sure, he knows how to get on my damn nerves..

"You should be thanking me nigga, for saving you from one of your delusional fans!!"

"Fans? For the 100th time BJ, I told you that I am not FAMOUS, stop using that word ok?" I opened up my locker and placed my planner inside.

"I don't think i've ever met someone who doesn't wanna admit that they're popular.. like nigga wtf is wrong with you??" He asked

I guess I'm considered to be "popular" here but honestly I never asked to be, and I think that's too damn superficial and shallow. I'm just 100% myself 24/7 & I guess some people admire that, I don't know.

"Anyways, where in the hell is Ki-" as soon as I was about to mention her name she walked up right in front of us.

"Wassup, did y'all boys miss me??"

Kiana Peoples approaches us with the hugest smirk on her first.. She had on short custom made jean shorts, with a black tank top, and high-top black vans on. Her style was simple but, still dope which matched her perfectly. She was literally like the female version of me, and when we butted heads sometimes it's scary because, I don't know how to respond to something that sounds like exactly like what I would say, But anyways she was probably the closest person to me on this Earth, and understands me more than anybody else ever does.
I drop all of my books and immediately wrap my arms around her and squeeze as tightly as possible.

"KIANAAAAAAAAA, I missed seeing your ugly face so much, ugh!!" I screamed

"I missed seeing your ugly ass face too Theo!!" She smiled

"Ummm excuse me, Theo move tf out of the way, let me get my turn!!" BJ shouts as he pushes me off of Kiana and gives her an equally big hug. We were like the ultimate trio, better than Destiny's Child to be honest. These were my 2 best friends and I would not trade them for the world.

"Soooo what are y'all's schedules looking like? We better have some of the same classes!!"
We all pulled out our schedules to compare

"Looks like me And Kiana have 5 out of 6 classes together & me and BJ have 4 together," I excitedly say, "yay!!!!!!"

We were all extremely happy to have several classes together. Being with them always made me feel less anxious

"This year is going to be super lit!! We're literally unstoppable." Kiana pulls out her iPhone 7+
"Now let's take a selfie!! #FirstDayOfSchoolWithMyDawgs"

**DING DING DING**
We all looked at each other in horror.
That was first bell which means it's time to go to 1st Period.. Let hell officially begin.
Me, Kiana, & BJ make our way down the halls when BJ suddenly stops, wipes his eyes with his shirt and looks intensely at his schedule

"Um, are you guys not seeing what i'm seeing??"

We both looked at him with the most confused look ever

"BJ what are you talking about?" I unfolded my class schedule and gave it a second look, "OH MY GOD NO"

"Do you see what i'm talking about now?? We have Ms. Agatha first period. MS. FUCKING AGATHA.. with her Dinosaur looking ass!"

I was too pissed off to even laugh right now.. Ms. Agatha was literally the devil in human form. She was like the female version of Donald Trump combined with the wicked witch of the west.. She was an old white woman who made it her ultimate mission in life to make everybody else's life a living hell.. she was ignorant, annoying, and when she poops dry prehistoric bones probably come out because she's literally old ass hell.

Kiana walked over and touched my back
"Theo just relax, it will be ok. We will go into this Lady's class, sit in the back and not say anything. And if we suffer, at least we'll all be suffering together"
She smiled and I immediately felt comfortable.

"Ok y'all" I adjusted my backpack "let's do this"
