As the non-popular teenage girl in high school, I avoid social situations as best as I can. I pretty much only spend time with my best friend Bethan, Beth for short and my boyfriend, Cole.
My name is Avory Sean. I go to school in the most unknown school in Lawrence Kansas, L.K High or L.K.H.S as some people refer to it. It's the first day of the year and I cannot be stuffed. I walked into the dull schools property and sat on the white seat where Beth and I always meet each other. I placed my leather messenger bag down in the damp grass and took a sip of my hot coffee from my blue mug. The cool wind blew through my thick hair and I could smell the timber and fresh leaves. After 10 minutes at 7:50, Beth arrived in her red plaid shirt, black leggings and her black high top converse. Her long brown hair was braided to the side and she wore her black necklace I gave we for Christmas.
"Hey bitch," she laughed as she gave me a hug.
"Hey asshole," I replied with a laugh as she took my cup and took a large gulp of my coffee.
"You ready to face the high school life once again my friend?" She asked me as she stared dramatically at the groups of people in front f the school.
"Be strong my friend, just this year and one more and we are done," I assured her as we both laughed. We decided to walk inside and check the piece of paper hanging on the door. I pushed through the crowd of populars and checked year 11 locked placed. I placed my forefinger on the paper and slid my black painted nail down the paper till I reached my name. Locker 27. I looked for Beth's and hers was locker 34. I pushed out the semi circle of teenagers and fixed my now messy loose blonde curls.
"You 34 I'm 27," I stated as we began to walk to our assigned lockers. The pale green coloured lockers hadn't changed at all. I put my bag in my locker and felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist.
"Hey beautiful," Cole said as I turned and gave him a kiss.
"Hi there," I whispered as I looked into his green eyes. He was by far one of the best looking guys in school and ever girl wanted him, I honestly don't know why he chose me.
"How are you?" He asked as we walked down the hall together to his locker. His dirty blonde hair looked soft and very fabulous.
"Yea good, holidays were good, what about you?" I asked as we watched multiple people walk past us. Our school didn't really have groups of specific people like in the clichè movies, you were either popular, a wanna-be popular or someone who didn't care. Cole, Beth and I belonged to the didn't care category.
"Yea alright," he said blankly. I raised an eyebrow and looked up at him.
"What happened?" I asked curiously as his eyes looked straight ahead.
"Just, you an that Ryan guy again," he said. I rolled my eyes and let out a sigh. Cole had always, always been jealous of guys especially Ryan seeing as I had a crush on him before we started dating.
"Come on really, first day of school and you bring this up?" I asked as he let out a breath.
"You know what never mind," he said as he walked to his locker and left me behind. I but my tongue, accidentally biting my tongue piercing and walked back to Belle before I said something stupid.
"Geez I honestly feel like pulling my arms off now," I sighed as I pulled my schedule out from my locker. Belle shut hers and stared at me.
"Ryan?" She asked as I nodded with annoyance.
"The prick," she mumbled which made me laugh. The bell rang and we walked to our classes, Belle had double Health and I had double Physics. Mr Don was my teacher and luckily he was my favourite teacher. He didn't have favourites and he didn't teach easy things, he treated everyone fairly and actually taught us things.
"Good morning class," Mr Don said with little to no enthusiasm. I sat on the 3 seater science tables and waited.
"Now this year, to make you all extremely happy, there will be a seating plan!" He continued with an evil smile in his croaky voice. Mr Don was very old but not old enough to die, at least I hope not. He was skinny and had a full head of fine silver hair. He always wore brown suits with leather shoes and you could see the pale like across his ring finger, from him wearing his wedding ring. The class mainly full of wanna-be populars sighed with anger and I laughed.
"First desk we will have Frans, Perri and Sam, in that exact order, second deadly will be Tiffany, Joel and Gerith," Mr Don said as he kept reading the names out. I was telling Beth in the holidays during one of our many Supernatural Marathon Sleepovers that I wanted to make friends with more people. Not to hang out with every day or anything but just to be friendly. Even though I was a hard ass, sarcastic, bad tempered, anger management psycho, I was still friendly to people, IN school at least.
"Avory," Mr Don said loudly as I snapped out of my thoughts.
"Yes?" I asked innocently as Mr Don shook his head with a weak smile.
"you will sit in the 5th desk, the order will be Avory, Jayson and exchange student Winnie," he said as I nodded and made my way over to my new seat. I pulled my log blonde hair to the side and did a simple fishtail braid before taking out my books and waiting patiently. Jayson, mainly know as Jay, was one of the few populars in the class. He had curly brown hair, dark brown eyes and was quite tall. I'd seen Jay around the school ever since I started which was in year 1, but we hadn't ever said a word to each other. What's more ironic was that he lived a house away from mine. He took a seat and covered his face with his beanie.
"What are you doing?" I asked suspiciously as I raised a dark and curious eyebrow. He lifted his black beanie so that only his left eye was visible as he stared into my big grey eyes.
"My parents forced me to do physics, so I'm going to hate this year," he said with a laugh as he covered his face again. I laughed and resulted my head on my pale hands as Mr Don walked to the front and took a seat. That is when the class began and I didn't say another word to Jay or anyone for the rest of the double. The rest of the day went by quite quickly. After school I spent a little time with Cole which was alright before I began to walk home. My house wasn't that far from the school, about a 20 minute walk and a 5 minute drive but my mom is buying me a new car. As I arrived home, I smelt the deliciousness of chicken and roast potatoes coming from the kitchen.
"Sweetheart how was school!?" My mom yelled as she ran out the kitchen, still wearing her white apron.
"Yea good, how was your day off?" I asked as I put my bag over the steps and walked to the kitchen and leaned my elbows in the sale blue marble counter surface.
"Great actually, guess what I did," she asked me as I raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"Cleaned?" I asked as she gave me a pissed look and stared at me with her cold heartless stare.
"Fine be a smart-ass no food for you," she said and I ran over to her and gave her a hug.
"No mom please I'm sorry," I pleaded as she let out a laugh.
"Okay okay! You will get food but take a shower firstly you wreak," my mom joked as I gave her stuff-you look and ran upstairs with my bag. My moms name was Clair and she owned the bakery a little while away from our house. My mom is short and has dark purple hair, she loves to experiment with hair. Over all she was pretty great and was so much happier. My dad and her got a divorce 3 years ago, he cheated on her with some hooker he found while in a 'business' trip. Now we never talk and I don't want anything to do with him. I took a shower, got changed into a pair of white shorts and a black hoodie as I ran downstairs for supper.
A week of school has gone by now and it seems easy enough. It was the last period of the day and I was sitting in English next to Cole talking.
"So there's a party tomorrow night, did you want to go?" He asked me with a raised eyebrow. His eyes full of hope. I let out a silent sigh and furrowed my eyes.
"You know I hate parties Cole," I replied as he edged closer to me and the teacher kept talking about the animal planet show the rest of the class was watching.
"Yes I know but, it will be fun, please, it's a new year and maybe you could make some great memories," he tried to tell me but all I had was negative thoughts.
"Cole-" I began when he stopped me.
"No, you're coming," he said which made me laugh. He was right, maybe I needed to be more social. I hadn't gone to a party since I was 9 and it wasn't a bad thing. I shook my head and smiled as Cole gave me a hug. We had been together for almost a year and he was absolutely amazing, except for all the jealousy. After class, Cole gave me an invitation and kissed me on the cheek as I asked off to my new black Chevy and drove home. My first week of year 11 was almost done, and it wasn't as bad as I though.
