Chapter 1 ~ Kathy

This is me. Kathy Reynolds. I’m 17 and I have brown hair and light blue eyes. I live with my dad. I don’t really have best friends; I mean I have friends but I don’t have any really close friends like any other teenager. I’m also in Year.11.
When I was 5 years old my mum was pregnant. When the time came for her to give birth there were some complications and she passed away. My younger baby brother was only 2 pounds when my mum gave birth to him and did not survive. I was too young to remember everything that happened that night. I remember my dad crying whilst holding my baby brother in his arms. That’s it, that’s all I could remember.
“Kathy, Kathy, Kathy! Wake up!! Wake up!!” Dad shouted.
I opened my eyes and saw my dad standing next to my bed smiling. He’s been really happy this past week. I groan and get up from bed.
“I made pancakes for breakfast. Come down when you’re ready but hurry you don’t want to be late for your first day of school.” He went on.
Ever since my mum passed away, me and my Dad have been moving constantly. Almost every single year. It was my first day today at my 5th high school so far. I just turned 17 and my dad promised that when I turned 18 I could move out.
“Coming Dad. Thanks for waking me up!” I said sleepily.
“Welcome.” He said walking downstairs.
I got up from bed and went into the bathroom. My long brown hair was up to my waist now. I took my clothes off and stepped in the shower. When I got out I went in my room and got changed. I was wearing black skinny jeans, an emerald green baggy jumper and brown boots. I put on some green eye shadow, eye liner and some mascara.
I decided to straighten my waving hair and let it out today. When I was ready I went downstairs to eat. My dad had prepared a plate for me on the table. He was sitting down and reading the newspaper. I sat down and started eating.
“So… Are you excited for your first day of school today?” asked my dad slowly.
“Not really, I mean I’ve done this probably 10 times already.” I said boringly.
My dad and I have been moving around all the time and we don’t really have permanent home. That’s probably the main reason why I don’t have any best friend or really close ones.
He stopped smiling. “Honey, I know this isn’t easy for you. You know my job and everything but-”.
“Dad! It’s fine. I know we’ve talked about this before. I understand completely. You don’t have to explain yourself you know. I was just being sarcastic.” I said.
His faced softened and he smiled again. “Thanks sweetheart.”
“Anytime Dad. It was nice talking to you but I really have to go now or I’m going to be late for school today and it’s my first day…” I started getting up and walking to the door.
My dad came up to me and hugged me. “Have a good day today! We’ll talk more when you come back home.”
“Ok dad. Have a nice day!” He yelled ‘bye’ and I grabbed my keys and closed the door behind me.
I headed for my car. It was a Mitsubishi Outlander XS. I loved my car. I got it for my sixteenth birthday last year. I backed out of my driveway and nearly crashed into another car coming out from their driveway across from mine. I yelled and the other car stopped. The person driving motioned for me to drive ahead and I did so.
I looked in the mirror and saw the same car driving behind me. Creepy. I kept driving until I pulled in the parking area of the school. I parked my car and the car following me parked right beside me. Again creepy. I looked over to the car and saw the most attractive guy I have ever seen. He had jet black hair and emerald green eyes that matched the jumper that I was wearing. He looked over at me and winked. I smiled and got out of my car. I got my bag and locked the car. The guy looked at me and started heading over.

Chapter 1 ~ Mark

I woke up to my sister yelling in my ear to wake up. I opened my eyes and saw my 7 year-old sister grinning at me.
“Daddy said to wake up.” She said still smiling
Today was my first day of school. Me, my dad and my little sister Emily had just moved from Chicago. My dad got this new job offer and couldn’t turn it down so we all had to move with him.
“Ok. I’m coming.” I said sleepily.
Emily just nodded and went downstairs. I got up and went to have a shower. I got dressed and went downstairs to have breakfast. My dad was sitting on the table talking on the phone to his boss. Emily was eating her breakfast quietly.
“Yes Sir, of course, Yes, Yes, Ok, Thanks, Bye!” my dad sighed and put the phone down. He has been really stressed out this past week.
“Dad, I have to go. I don’t want to be late for my first day of school.”
“Ok Son. Have a good day today. I probably won’t be here when you get back and Emily will be at school till 5 o’clock tonight.” He said.
I nodded, kissed my sister on the cheek and went out closing the door behind me. I unlocked my car and started pulling out of my driveway when another car coming out from their driveway almost hit me. I motioned for the driver to go ahead of me and they did. I started driving behind the car in front of me until we both pulled up in the school parking lot. I parked and looked over to the other car beside me.
I saw a girl in the driver’s seat. She looked at me and I froze. She was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. She had long dark brown hair and blue eyes. I winked at her and she smiled at me.
I got out of my car, locked and started walking towards her.
“Hi. My name’s Mark.” I said and held out my hand.
“Hey,” she said smiling. “My name’s Kathy.” She shook my hand.
“Listen sorry about this morning in the driveway.” She started saying.
“It’s ok. So.. are you new here?” I asked. She nodded, locked her car and we started walking towards the office together.

Chapter 2 ~ Kathy

As we walked to the office we pasted a couple of people that were sitting on the grass area in front of the office. A couple of guys checked me out and some of the girls smiled at me. I smiled back. Others gave me mean looks.
I turned to look at Mark and he smiled at me. He looked like a nice guy. Maybe even a friend. We reached the office and the he opened the door for me.
“Thanks.” I said smiling.
“No problem.” He replied.
We reached the counter and told the secretary we were new to this school.
“So... Ms.Reynolds and Mr.Kent. Here are you schedules and your locker numbers and combinations are at the top of the other page. Have a nice day!” She grinned at us and turned back to her computer.
We left the office and went to see our lockers. We were both pretty early and so we had time to check out the school a bit.
“What number is your locker?” Mark asked.
I looked at my sheet. “Number 78. You?”
“Number 77. Right next to yours. You’ll probably never get rid of me.” He said laughing, revealing perfect white teeth. I laughed with him and we checked our schedules.
We had every class together except one class where I had art and he had drama. So far so good. I wouldn’t mind having this hot guy with me all day.

Chapter 2 ~ Mark

As we walked to the office, I saw a couple of guys check Kathy out.  I didn't like it that they looked at her that way. I gave them dirty looks but when Kathy looked at me I couldn't help but smile. She was so beautiful. I opened the door for her as we reached the office and she thanked me.

When we got our schedules I looked over to hers and saw that we had almost all of our classes together.

As we headed to history together, I decided to start a conevrsation with her.

"Soo.. Where are you from?" I asked looking at her. She laughed silenty. I didn't find anything funny about what I said so I asked her.

"I don't even know myself to be honest. Ever since my mum died 12 years ago me and my dad have been constantly moving. This is my 5th high school." she replied " What about you? Where are you from?"

"I'm from Chicago. This is my second high school so far. Is this really your 5th?" I asked and she nodded. She laughed a little when she saw my face. She had the sweetest laugh. I could listen to it for days and not get tired of it. We reached the classroom and I knocked on the door. When the teacher let us in, te whole room went silent. They were all staring at us. I was kind of uncomfortable and I could see Kathy was too. Her cheeks were pink and I could tell she was embarrassed because some guys were staring at her.

"Class, meet our new student Mark and Kathy," He said "Guys have a seat." Then he turned to the rest of the class and told them to take their homework out. Me and Kathy sat next to each other and when I looked at her she looked at me and smiled.

When lunch time came we went to the cafeteria together. She ordered a slice of pizza and some apple juice. I didn't know what to order so I had the same thing as her. We found a table and sat down. I was really hungry so I started eating as soon as I found a table. She looked at me and laughed.

"What?" I asked my mouth full of pizza.

"Nothing," she said shaking her head "It looks like you haven't eaten in days."

I laughed and went back to eating my pizza.

 

Chapter 3 ~ Kathy

When the final bell of the day went I couldn't have been more happier. All day guys have been staring at me. I really don't know why. I don't think I'm that pretty. I spent all day with Mark today. It was good to have someone with me. All the other highschools I went to I didn't have any friends and I used to stay alone most of the time. I used to go to the library for lunch but this year I decided to change that. I decided to be more friendly and to do what other students at school did.

I said goodbye to Mark and got in my car and drove home. Seconds later I saw Mark's car park in the driveway of a house across the road from mine. He saw me and waved. I waved back and then went inside my house.

"Dad?" No answer. "Heeellloooo?" Still no answer.

He was probably still at work. I dropped my bag on the floor and went upstairs. I layed on my bed and closed my eyes. I was so tired. I got up and went to take a shower. I could use a hot one right now. I got some clothes and underwear out and laid them on my bed. I went insed the bathrrom and got in the shower. 20 mintues later I came out and got dressed. I put on red skinny jeans and a black jumper along with some white sckos. I went dowstairs and made myself a grilled cheese sandwich. I sat down on the couch and turned on the T.V.
