Chapter 1

"Luna!" My best friend Marie Fitzgerald linked her arm with mine as we walked into the school. "Let's rule this bitch! I mean we're seniors, Lulu!" She smiled brightly, practically doing a happy dance.

"I'd much rather be in my bed." I groaned.

"You spent way to much time sleeping and reading. It's unhealthy." 

"Don't forget eating! I do that a lot too." 

I'm one of the girls that can eat a 12 ounce porterhouse steak and not gain a pound. It's what I love most about myself. Everything else is pretty average about me. I have boring brown hair that goes midway down my back and bland brown eyes. 

Marie is like the opposite of me. Her hair is currently hot pink with black highlights. It constantly changes though. Like for example last week, her hair was black with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple highlights. I wish I had the guts to do something like that. She's an artsy girl. Her eyes are almost turquoise. It sounds weird, but I envied her. She pulled off her look well.

"Well, cheer up buddy! Oh! We should go mess with some freshies!" She jumped up and down excitedly. I tried not to smile, but her happiness is contagious. That is one of the reason I get along so well with Marie. She is such a happy and positive person. I am a realist. I look at things rationally, and let's just say the world isn't a positive place. Hence, I'm not a positive person. We balance each other out.

"Okay." I agreed.

She practically skipped down the hall. I had to jog to keep up with her, but I didn't mind.

"Need help finding where to go?" She asked a boy who was staring at his schedule, confused.

"Yeah, thanks." He sighed gratefully. I almost felt bad. "Do you know where Mr. Lawrence's English class is?" 

"Yeah! Of course. It's on the third floor right next to the pool. Just walk straight until you see the band room. The stairwell is to the right of that. Once you get up there, you can't miss the pool. Mr. Lawrence's classroom is right across from that."

"Thanks!" He took off in the direction that Marie told him to go.

"Mimi!" I scolded her. "We don't have a pool. Heck, we don't even have a third floor! Plus, the band room is in the other direction!"

"Yeah, I know." She shrugged. "Remember when you were a freshie and you asked someone how to get to your classroom. You were looking around for a basement for over an hour!" She cracked up. 

"Shut it." I grumbled.

I hate lunch on the first day of school. 

Everyone is scrambling, trying to find their friends. Where and who you sit with is important on day one because chances are you're going to sit there the rest of the year. Lucky for me, I knew Marie has lunch this period. 

"LULU LUDWIG!" Screamed a voice. I groaned and turned around, searching for my best friend. I finally found her. She was standing on a table, looking for me. I wove in in and out of people until I got to her.

"Get off the table, you dummy!" I yelled at her. She shrugged and hopped off the table. 

Marie sat down and dug into her pizza. She's lucky that she didn't step on it when she was standing on the table.
