The Story Of Us
Chapter 1
I walked into the autotorium that afternoon
feeling nervous and shakey. I was terrified that the other kids
wouldn't like me, or that I would get a bad role in the show.
This was my only opportunity to make a name of myself, and I
didn't want to waste it.
I met up with my new friend Kat, who brought me over to the drama
teacher to introduce me.
"Hi Ms. H.. This is Kasey. She's new this year and
wants to try out for the show."
"Very nice," Ms. H said, not looking at all like she
cared. "Go fill out the forms with the others over there you
two."
We walked over to a piano in the corner where about ten other
kids were all filling out forms. I grabbed one and looked at it.
All it asked was when you could rehearse after school. Once I
finished filling it out, I sat down in the autotorium seats next
to Kat and another girl I was friendly with: Kristy. She smiled
at me and started talking about the drama program.
"It's really fun and easy going. Oh, and don't
worry, everyone gets a role in the show."
Well, that was a relief. At least I wasn't going to be cut
from the show.
"Okay everyone, gather around the piano. Let's get
started," Ms. H said suddenly. Everyone stood up and walked
to the piano. I ended up standing next to Ms. H, which made me
really nervous.
"I used this scented nail polish. It smells like
strawberries. Smell it!" Ms. H exclaimed suddenly, sticking
her fingers under my nose. Unsure of what to do, I sniffed
hesitantly.
"They, uh, smell good," I said, managing a weak smile.
Satisfied, she pulled her hand away and started talking.
"Well, thank you all for coming today. We're just going
to read lines from the show, and no one will get cut, so
don't worry. Now-"
"So how was your summer Ms. H?" Kat asked, butting into
her sentence.
"Good, good," she replied distractedly.
"Did you do anything interesting?" Kristy asked her.
Ms. H started laughing hysterically.
"Well, I did this-" she pointed at her crooked hair,
"When I was on an airplane. I was in the bathroom, and I
decided to cut my hair. Only it didn't really come out
evenly..."
All of the new kids just stared at her. Like me, they were
probably wondering if she was sane or not.
"I cut my hair all the time, and it never really comes out
right, so I have to keep cutting it and cutting it. It's
always interesting to see how short it gets during the
year!" she laughed, her eyes twinkling.
Was this woman crazy?! Who sticks their hands under kids noses
and demands they smell their nail polish, or cuts their hair in
airplane bathrooms? Maybe drama wasn't such a good
idea...
"Sorry I'm late Ms. H!" Someone shouted, bursting
in through the autotorium doors.
"Hurry up, Aaron!" Hs. H exclaimed, sounding annoyed.
"Get your butt down here!"
I hadn't paid attention to who walked in until Ms. H said his
name. Could it be? The adorable boy I saw at mass? There was no
way he was into drama... I thought I'd never see him
again!
I guess I was wrong. I couldn't help staring at him as he
joined the rest of us around the piano.
"Okay, I'm going to seperate you guys into groups to go
over the lines," Ms. H said. "Kat, Kasey, Kristy, and
Aaron, you guys go to the back with this script," she handed
us a few folders, "And the rest of you seperate into fours
and go over these." She gave them more scrips then walked
away.
I couldn't believe my luck! This is an opportunity to really
get to know Aaron! I couldn't help smiling as I walked
backstage with the others. Once we got back there, Kristy pointed
at me and said, "Aaron, this is Kasey. She's new in our
grade this year."
"Sup," Aaron said, nodding at me. I smiled back.
"Hey."
"AARON!" Kat said suddenly, going to hug him. He smiled
and awkwardly hugged her back. I pretended to look over the
script until they stopped, and we started reading our
lines.
But I couldn't help thinking... Did Aaron like Kat? I mean,
she was pretty... Was I not even going to have a
chance with him?
Sighing, I continued reading the lines. I guess I'd just have
to wait and see...
**Boring, sorry. Just getting started soo.. It'll pick up
next chapter. (:
The Story Of Us
Prologue
Have you ever experienced that love at first
sight feeling? Where you just look at someone... And suddenly all
of the world's problems seem to go away? You're probably
sitting there shaking your head and thinking Is this chick on
something? And trust me, if I read this a year ago, I'd
be right there with you. But... Then I met Aaron. And that's
when everything changed.
I had just started freshman year at Saint Mary's school. I
was the new kid, butting into a school where everyone had known
each other since kindergarten. Scary, right? Yep. I already knew
two girls, but they were really annoying and not the type I could
survive the year with as my only friends. I was on the lookout
from the start for new friends.
At the time, however, I had only been in school for a week, and
hadn't had any real luck insta-bonding with anyone yet. That
afternoon, I was planning on trying out for the school play, so I
was hoping to meet some people that way. Unortunately, before the
after-school tryouts, I had to survive through our
school's monthly mass. The mass, I had heard, was two
hours of torture, with our ancient preist and being forced to be
silent the whole time. I was not looking forward to it,
especially since the only people I had to sit next to were the
only two girls I knew, Maria and Bethany.
As Maria, Bethany and I settled into our seats for the mass, I
spotted someone. And not just a someone... A cute
someone. He was sitting in the front row alone. I stared at the
back of his head, questioning why he wasn't with the rest of
the school. I was pretty sure he wasn't in my grade since I
had never seen him before, but then again, I hadn't seen a
lot of people. When the mass began and everyone began to quiet
down, I saw him stand up, and go up and say the call to worship.
I looked down at the program in my hands and saw that his name as
Aaron Thomas. I tapped Maria on the shoulders and pointed at
him.
"Who's that?" I asked her. She snickered and rolled
her eyes.
"Aaron Thomas, the geek of the tenth grade," she
said.
"He's cute," I said quietly. She gave me a wierd
look, but didn't say anything else.
All during the mass, I thought about Aaron. He really was cute..
He was tallish, with hair that was shaggy and chocolate brown,
hazel eyes, and tan skin. I couldn't tell whether he had abs
or not because the school's uniform hid anything worth
showing off, but I didn't really care whether he did or not.
All I knew was that I wanted to get to know him.
After the longest two hours of my life, the mass finally ended,
and we went back to homerooms to get ready for dissmissal. I
tried to spot Aaron on the way back, but I couldn't see him.
Sighing, I sulked back to my homeroom to pack up. I'd
probably never see him again... Might as well forget about
him.
Boy, if only I had known how wrong I was.

Part 10
Hannah's POV
So, I talked to the principal, and he said if I got straight
A's this term my scholarship won't be given away to
some other needy loser. I told my parents what happened, not
that they cared anyway. But my mom said if I didn't get my
scholarship back, I would have to go to public school. I
shuddered at the thought. Hannah and public schools don't
mix.
I spent the weekend studying because I can NOT leave that
school. The Kiss 'n Diss girls are there! I can't just
leave them! They could all become unpopular without me,
something they're not used to, except maybe Kate.
While I was studying Saturday night, my mind wandered to
Philip. Why did he like Kate?! What was wrong with beautiful,
popular, flawless me? I was the one who deserved love after
what happened with Cam! Love should come to ME, not Kate!
I thought things like this for about an hour, until finally I
realized that studying was getting me no where. I decided to
call Philip. He answered after the second ring.
"Um, hi Hannah. What's up?"
"Nothing, which needs to change. Why don't you come
over?" I asked as sweetly as possible without trying to
sound slutty.
"I can't right now, I'm with my GIRLFRIEND. So
I'll talk to you later, okay?" He hung up.
Rage boiled inside me. This. Wasn't. Fair. I deserved
Philip! Not Kate! I swear, she is going to be DEAD to
me!
**Sorry I have to stop now, it's
thundering and I don't want my computer to fry. More
tomorrow probably! Comment and fav? Any
suggestions?

Part 9
Today is...
great. Our revenge scheme worked perfectly, and now Philip is
congratulating me on our performance and wondering how we got
it done. He's looking at me with love practically squirting out
of his eyes. I heart it!
When I get home, I'm practically floating. I flop down on my
bed and sigh happily. Today is great.
Suddenly, my cell rings. Probably Philip. I look at the caller
ID and see: Hannah is my sexy b*tch ;) I tap the green phone
icon.
"What's up, Han?" I say. All I hear is crying. Hannah?
Crying?!
"Hannah, what happened?" I ask.
"Ok, you know how-" sniffle. "We didn't get caught-" sharp
inhale. "For the Cam thing?"
"Yeah."
"well I did-" she blew her nose. "And now my scholarship is in
jeapordy!" another sniffle.
"Wait, you're on scholarship?!"
"Yeah. My parents have, like, no money."
"What about all your designer stuff? And the girls always talk
about your huge house!"
"Yeah, my cousin hands me down her designer stuff and when we
have sleepovers I use my cousins house. Promise me you won't
tell the girls!"
"You haven't told them yet?!"
"No I can't! It's too embarrassing after being best friends for
four years. They'll probably dump me!"
"Hannah you've got to-"
"Look, spare the lecture. I've got to go, my parents want to
meet with the principal. TTYL." she hung up.
I sighed and flopped down on my bed, reality sinking in.
No Hannah = Probably no friends.
No friends = No boyfriend
No boyfriend + No friends = No social life.
And Hannah's my best friend. What are we going to do without
her?
I put my head face down on my pillow and cried for a while.
She needs to get her scholarship back! But
how?
