Chapter 2

I've never really imagined what high school would be like. I would hear my parents talking about their times in high school but I hardy paid them any attention. My mom would tell me stories of how her and dad fell in love at first sight.

Yup you heard me. It was fate that brought them together. They were high school sweethearts.

Mom found out she was pregnant with me on their honeymoon. They told me I was their miracle. I believed them.

Now I realized why they talked about high school so much. It's amazing.

I'm still arm and arm with my friends. We are admiring the hallways and floors. It's so beautiful and tech-savvy. I love my school already. We see the tall lockers that have face recognition. I don't think any other school in the state has lockers like ours.

"Our lockers are so cool. We don't even need locks or combinations," Savannah says.

"I agree. It was such a struggle at our last school," said Natalie.

"Guys do y'all remember that time when Julian got his jacket caught in the locker?" asked Samantha.

"Oh my god yes! When he tried to pull it the locker door came out and he had to walk around with it all day," Natalie said laughing.

We all started laughing till tears we were coming out of eyes. People gave us weird looks but I ignored them.

"We need to go to the office to get our schedule and to show us which locker do we get," I said.

"Yeah come on guys, let's go," Savannah said.

We started walking to the office until we realized we didn't know where it was so we stopped.

"Um guys,do y'all know where the office is?" Natalie asked.

"No," the three of us said in unison.

"Weren't you supposed to know where it was? Your the one who said follow me," Samantha states.

Savannah bites her lip and looks around nervously. "Yeah well I kinda forgot where it was," she said.

Samantha throws her hands up. "Well that's just great. Now we're lost," she states.

"Let's ask somebody for directions," said Savannah.

We all look around but it's hard to get people's attention because either their on their phone or talking with their friends. A boy about to walk past us when Savannah gets his attention by tapping his shoulder. He then suddenly turns around.

"Excuse me but do you happen to know where the office is?" Savannah asks.

"You just passed it," the boy said. He turns back around and Savannah shouts thank you as he's walking away.

We turned back around and went back until we see the office. We got in line to pick up our schedule and get a locker. The desk receptionist calls our names up one at a time.

When she got to me, she asked me what is my full name. I told her it was Madison Grace Foster. She handed me my schedule and my locker number.

"Oh ma'am here's your loui device," the lady said and smiled.

What are these? Oh wait I think I remember at orientation. It's like a communication device but for school only.

I look at it, confused on how to make it come on.

"Just pull out on the sides with both thumbs. I do what she says and the screen automatically pops up. I stare at it amazed. The lady gives the rest of my friends theirs.

"These are so fucking cool," Savannah saids.

"I know right. Apparently we even have a fault in our lockers to put them in," Natalie added.

"Classes haven't even started and I'm already loving this school," Samantha said. We all nod our heads in on agreement.

"Well what are we standing here for, let's find our lockers," said Natalie. We all scurry off in different directions. My locker is 14. I see the number 10 and walk down till I've found it.

"Found it," I yell to my friends.

"Found mine," Natalie yells back.

"Found it," Samantha yells. I turn her way and see that it's on the hallway across from us.

"Found it," Savannah yells. We see hers is right on the back wall.

I walk to her locker and she turns to me

"I can't wait to start decorating it," Samantha said's with enthusiasm.

I then notice that the rest of the girls are standing here with us too.

"How about we all go shopping on Saturday," Samantha comments. We all agree to Saturday.

"Let's compare our schedules," I say. I look down at my schedule and see that I have Language, Home Ec, Biology, Lunch, Algebra II, U.S History, PE, and Free Period.

"We have some of the same classes together," said Savannah. We both smile at each other and look over at Natalie and Samantha who's true screaming with joy. Me and Savannah looks at each other for a moment then shrug our shoulders.

"Let's decorate our lockers now, I said. They all nod their heads and we head to our lockers and begin taking stuff out of our backpacks. I pull out some pink wallpaper, a chandelier, a fluffy rug, a locker shelf and mirror. I begin putting it all in my locker.

I turn to see more students are entering now and more teachers are signing in. Then I turn back around to put my books that I need for later in my locker on my shelf. I hear someone slam their locker closed and turn to see that it's Natalie and she's walking towards me.

"She stops at my locker and said's, "Oh my god, your locker looks way better than mine," she says and pouts. I chuckle at her expression. Samantha and Savannah come towards us.

"I'm going to head to the bathroom to freshen up a bit before class," Samantha saids.

"Well why don't we all go, Natalie said and we agree. As we were about to head to turn bathroom the intercom comes on.

"ATTENTION! Everyone stopped what they were doing and waited for the principal to continue. I WOULD LIKE FOR EVERYONE TO REPORT TO THR GYM IMMEDIATELY FOR A BRIEF MEETING! THANK YOU," the principal said and the intercom went off and everyone resumed to what they were doing. "Well what's are we standing here for, let's go," Natalie said. We see people already heading to the gym.

We all headed to the bathroom near the gym and went in and were surprised to see a bunch of hits already in there. Some smiled at us and some looked us up and down with distaste.

We ignored and went to the sink.

Samantha pulled out her makeup bag and took out her makeup and brushes. We started to do the same. I touched up on my mascara, eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, and lipstick. The girls did the same but not so much that we wanna look like a wanna-be Barbie. Savannah handed me some perfume from Bath & Body Works. I put some on.

"Thanks," I said and handed it back to her.

"No problem bestie," she said and winked.

Girls cake by as went and stood at the sick. I look to myself and see what a couple of girls putting on makeup. Some girls try to hard I say myself head.

"Ok are we ready to go girls?" Natalie asks as she begins putting her makeup back in her bag.

"Yes!" We all said excitedly.

"Then lets go and show them that we don't play," Natalie said. We grab our stuff and walk out of the bathroom all while walking beside each other. I look to my left and see Natalie and beside her is Samantha. I look to my right and see it's Savannah and she smirked at me. I smirked at her back I'm in the middle basically I'm the leader of the group. Even tho I don't really consider myself that. I am the baddest out of all of us. We get closer to the gym and hear everyone inside.

"Ok girls let's do this," I said. We enter the gym and see that it's packed to the maximum.

Natalie takes out her phone and holds it up to takes a picture. We stop and pose for a couple. Then we keep walking till we get to our section.

Some people turn their heads to us and whisper to each other. Some girls glare at us and some just stare. We hear some whistles and some cat calls being shouted towards us. I see some boys smirk and wink at us. I look to my right and see Savannah's cheeks turn slightly pink.

"DAMN SHE GOT A NICE ASS," a boy yells. I roll my eyes. Pervert.

"MAYBE SHE WILL FLASH US SOME," another guy yells. We smirk and give them our middle fingers. I ignored the girls that are glaring at us. We go to our side of the gym when our grade sits and see that it's already full. We go up to the fourth row and sit there side by side just liked when we walked in. People turn around and look at us then back to their friends and whisper.

"MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS AND STOP LOOKING AT US," Natalie yells.

"YEAH YOU HEARD HER. IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT YOU CAN SAY IT TO OUR FUCKING FACE," Samantha adds while yelling it.

They quickly turn around, feared for what we might do if they keep looking and gossiping about us.

"People these days," Savannah says and shakes her head.

"Tell me about it," I say. We both look at each other and crack up laughing. More people start coming in the gym and soon the principal, assistant principal, and guidance counselor makes their way in. They go up to the podium and the principal takes his mike. The noise in the gym gets quieter.

"Good morning students. As you all know my name is Principal Stuart," he said. Welcome to  Eastview High! We are so glad to have you and we hope you enjoy the wonderful opportunity that this school offers. My staff and I are going to make this a great year for all. We want y'all student to - -  He gets cuts by the doors opening and slamming against the wall. Four girls walk in like the own the place.

"Girls, care to tell me why are you late?" Principal Stuart ask with his eyebrows raised.

"We didn't feel like hearing your boring speech," one of the girls says while smacking her gum. A few people chuckle. I can immediately tell she's​ the leader.

"Just go sit down and do not interrupt me again," He says. The girl just rolls her eyes and goes up the bleachers with the other three following her.  They sit two rows behind us

. "What a bitch," Samantha mutters. We all snicker.

"You mean what a hooker," Natalie adds. We snicker even more. She's right, they're dressed like they're at a club. They are practically wearing nothing.

"Now where was I? Oh yeah we want y'all students to meet new people and enjoy your classes. We are the wolves and we are going to howl to be the best school in the state. Hope y'all have a great day! You are dismissed," He said and backs away from the podium.  That's when everything gets loud again and people start leaving the bleachers.

"Well, that was exciting," Samantha said​ with sarcasm in her voice. We chuckle and stand up and make our way down the bleachers.

"Excuse us. Excuse us. shoo! Move out the way," The leader from clique yells as her and her followers make their way through, pushing people to the sides.

Natalie scoffs.

"You would think they would show some respect but I guess not," she says and glares at them.

"They know if they show respect they wouldn't be popular anymore," Samantha said's and gives her a pointed look. She just scoffs again and rolls her eyes.

"So what? being popular doesn't mean anything. You just think your better than everybody," she said while doing hand motions.

"Uhh aren't you forgetting we're popular too", Samantha add's with her eyebrows raised.

"Yeah but not like them. At least we don't look down upon others," Natalie saids. She does have a point.

"Ok yeah I guess you're right", Samantha replies. I give her a look.

"When is she never right," I say and grin.

"Come on guys. let's go to our class. We don't wanna be late", Savannah says and we make our way out of the gym.

"Me and Savannah are headed to Language. What about y'all?" I ask. "U.S History," Natalie says.

"Alright. Let's meet up for lunch?" I ask. A chorus of yes follows.

"Ok see y'all," I say.

"Bye bitches," Natalie saids as they walk away. Me and Savannah chuckle.  We find our class and go inside and find a seat. We decide to sit in  on the right side towards the back by the window. We take our seats and look around.

There's students already seat and more steadily coming in. Our teacher comes in after a few minutes and then the bell rings.

"Good morning class, I am Mrs. Walkins and I will be your english teacher for the rest of the year", she saids. She picks up a pack of papers and pass them around.

"These are your syllabus so take these home and get them signed and when your bring them back you will get a free one hundred," she says. She goes back to the board and starts going over the procedures and rules. This is how the rest of her class goes.

"Gosh, she's just boring me to death just my talking," Savannah whispers to me.

I just giggle and soon we are both giggling. The teacher is talking too much to even hear it. Looks like this will be a good day after all.
