it’s just the first chapter. lemme know what you think, and if i should make some changes or anything.
“Hurry up Kat, we’re already late enough!” my brother Derek called from the door.
“I’m coming, i’m coming!” I shouted. I took one last look at myself in the mirror. It was the first day of school, and I had been worrying about what I should wear. I ended up wearing my most expensive black skinny jeans and my favorite blue flannel shirt. I threw on a ton of bracelets and straightened my hair till it was pin straight, too. I had the least bit makeup on, some lip-gloss and mascara, and hoped that i looked casual. Didn’t want to look like most of the other girls, who dressed up like princesses. But at the same time, I didn’t want to look like I put no effort in what I wore for the beginning of a new year.
“Katherine!!” Derek shouted again.
“Calm down, I’m here,” I said, running down the stairs. I followed my brother to his car, and got in to the passenger seat. I looked to the backseat to see my little brother, Matt, who was wearing his soccer shirt a pair of his faded jeans.
Derek is my older brother. He’s seventeen, in his senior year, and has the hottest girlfriend in our entire high school.Wearing jeans and a Hollister t-shirt, he looked effortlessly perfect. After Derek, there’s me, fifteen and in my sophomore year. And last but obviously not least, my little bro Matt. Matt is fourteen and is starting his first year at our high school. You’d think he’s a nervous wreck, but if anything, he looks totally calm.
My siblings and I have al lot in common. We’ve all got that blonde hair with a little bit of brown in it. Although we all have different hair styles. My hair is goes almost half way down my waist, and i have that side-bang that covers part of one of my eyes. Matt’s hair is short and messy, and so is Derek’s, but he slimes is hair with gel. We’re all really tan, and all three of us have those piercing blue eyes.
You probably think we’re perfect huh? Well, it’s not always so fun to be picture perfect. Ever think of it that way?
Anyway, so my brother drove us all to school in his beaten up jeep. When we got out, Derek patted Matt on the back.
“Good luck, dude. You too, KitKat.”
I HATE it when he calls me that.
“You too bro,” Matt replied. The three of us then drifted off in our own directions, looking for someone to talk to. As my brothers slowly disappeared into the crowd of kids, I was still looking around for a familiar face. Looking as lost as ever, I walked around the crowds of excited boys and girls.
Suddenly someone grabbed my shoulders. I jumped, and when I turned around, I was greeted by Alexa Robbins.
“Kitty!! Oh. My. Gosh. You… look amazing! I missed you girl, we haven’t had too much time to chill during the summer huh? Aren’t you excited?!” She grabbed my shoulders again and jumped up and down. “This year is going to be sooo great. I can just tell!”
“Chill out, Lexi, would you?” said Stephan Castro, walking over towards us. “Katherine Ryan,” he said, as if noticing me for the first time, “long time no see, girl.” He pulled me into a hug.
“Good to see you too, Steph” I said, smiling.
“What’s up man!!” shouted some guy, tossing his football to Stephan. Then he ran up to him, and grabbed it back. He started goofing off and talking to Stephan, until he noticed me and Alexa. Then he turned all smooth.
“Hello ladies,” he said, looking mainly at me, “The names Sean.”
“Hi!!” Alexa started, “I’m Alexa Robbins, and this is my friend Katherine! Haven’t seen you around, are you new? Or maybe your just from another grade or something. It’s really really nice to meet you!” she said, grabbing his hand and shaking it like crazy.
“Sorry about her-,” Stephan said.
“She gets a little hyper sometimes,” I finished for him.
“A little? More like a LOT” said a girl walking up to us. When I looked at her more closely, I noticed it was Jennifer, a good friend of mine. “Hey guys,” she said, nodding to me, Alexa and Stephan. Of course, Alexa got all hyper all over again and started hugging her like crazy. The five of us started talking when we were interrupted by some more people.
“Hello kitty!” said one of my best friends, Mary, approaching me.
“Hey, hot stuff,” some flirty girls came up to talk to Sean
“HEYYY! LONG TIME NO SEE!” said some other people, crowding around.
Before I knew it, I was stuck a crowd of friends. Everyone was all excited to see old friends, and were wearing the newest cloths, shoes, backpacks, etc. After a couple minutes of talking and saying hi to all my old friends, the bell rang, and school began.
