Welcome to My Little Paradise, chapter 1
"Ugh!" I yelled as my 5 yr. old brother pummeled me with a pillow.
"Its time to get up. You're going to be late," he said. He has this way of telling it like it is even though he's only 5 and has no idea what's going on in the world...
"Fine, fine I'm up... " I groggily got out of bed grabbed some pants and a nirvana T-shirt and some green converse. Another fucking first day of school oh what fun... I started at the high school today and I had moved to the neighborhood, if you wanted to call it that, right after the school year had ended... talk about a crappy time to move.
I walked down the steeps of the apartment building. I walked down the street, it was all cracked up and half the houses were abandoned. Off in the distance I hear a mom screaming at her kids. I walk past some people in an alley living in boxes and quickly shuffle past and wonder how much longer till I'll get to school.
***
I finally made it to school. I walked up some steps and walked past people, who were staring at me, I didn't mind, let them stare. I pushed open the front door of the school and met a throng of people pushing past each other. I wondered if I would survive this hell hole.
Somehow I managed to find my homeroom, how I still don't know. But I found my locker and managed to get that open which was an accomplishment in itself because it looked like it was 500 years old.
I survived through the first half of the day and made it to lunch. I had NO idea where to sit so I just chose some random empty table. I started to eat my lunch when this kid sat down at my table. "I hope you don't mind that I sit here," he said. He was kind of cute. He had these deep brown eyes and he had his dirt blonde hair spiked into a Mohawk. "But I just noticed that you were all by yourself."
"I don't mind at all," I said. "It's kind of boring anyway"
"Ok, cool. My name's Jimmy by the way. But people call me St. Jimmy."
"Cool. My name is Lily I'm new here. I don't really know anyone here."
"That's ok. I can show you some cool people. Do you want to go sit at a different table?"
"Sure. That would be GREAT!" I flashed him a huge smile and we got up and moved to a different table. There were like 5 kids already sitting there.
"Ok everyone this is Lily. Lily this is James, we call him Jesus of Suburbia," he pointed to a pale kid that had long black hair and was wearing some black Vans, a black t-shit that said 'YOU SUCK' and some Goth pants. "And this is Sharon, we call her Whatsername cause like NO ONE can remember her name," he pointed to a chic with long brown hair wearing a T-shirt that said SWEET CHILDREN on it, some faded jeans and some green Converse. "This is Billie Joe, that's what we call him." I giggled, he was a kind of average kid with brown hair that was unkempt and his emerald green eyes twinkled when he looked at me. "now this is Mike," he pointed to a tall kid that had light brown hair that was like standing on end and he just looked me over and smiled. "And this" he said pointing to the last kid, "is Tre." He kind of looked familiar, and then I realized that he was in most of my classes in the morning. Tre had these blue eyes that seemed to go on forever and they took my breath away. I couldn't help but stare at him, and he knew it. I finally managed to look away and started to eat my lunch.
"What do you have next?" Billie Joe asked.
"I think science." I replied I couldn't help but notice how he looked at me, it was like he wanted me.
"Hey that's the same class I have!" Mike shouted out. "I'll help you get there."
"I got that class too!!!!" Tre replied. I was silently doing cartwheels in my head YAY he's in my class!
"Thanks" I said "I would LOVE that, I can get lost in this place."
"Its not that bad once you get used to the place" Whatsername said, "it really isn't."
"I sure hope so... this place seems like a hell hole." I told her while looking around the place.
As soon as I had said that the bell rang and we had to get to class. "Here, let me help you." Tre said while grabbing my elbow and directing me towards the garbage cans. He flashed me a smile that made me laugh cause it was one of those lopsided ones that makes you look like a dork but when you see it you can't help but laugh. I couldn't believe it but I think that I was falling for him...
"Its time to get up. You're going to be late," he said. He has this way of telling it like it is even though he's only 5 and has no idea what's going on in the world...
