My own life
Chapter 2
"So how amazed were your parents?" I slam my
locker.
"Suze we had a quick dinner cuz I was exhausted and Luke
had a lacrosse thing last night."
"But that doesn't make any sense! The lacrosse team
has a game today!"
"It was an important practice okay? Sorry I have to go
give Kendall her mascara back. I borrowed it for Minnesota and
I still haven't given it back."
"She has like fifty! Her parents buy her whatever she
wants to makeup for the fact that they like ignore her. I have
something important to tell you."
"Foster parents," I remind her. I
can't help but think about when I was best friends with
Kendall and she would open up to me. "Anyway I don't
like owing people anything. Whatever is so important it can
wait a few minutes right?"
"Nope. I'm gonna tell you now anyway. Scott's
gonna ask you out today so don't you dare be walking around
in your dance booty shorts before you walk to practice." I
roll my eyes. "What you don't believe me? Just wait
and see you player!"
"And this is my cue to leave. Bye." I walk over to
Kendall talking to her blonde and perfect friends. "This
is your's sorry it took me so long I kept forgetting
it."
"Finally I get what I deserve from you." She looks
angry.
"I deserved that spot and we both know it. They probably
didn't want a brat like you."
"Then explain to me why I stayed after to find out that
the reason I didn't move up was because they didn't
want to hurt all the bad ones' feelings for not being as
good, and they need a role model like me. Don't ask me why
they have the failures like Vanessa in there who are never
going to move up. But don't worry, I'll be with you in
a week's time."
"Vanessa is in sixth grade. We're in eighth. You
can't be so mean to a little kid." She laughs.
"See you in class."
"Sammy why are you dressed for class?" Suzy looks
completely puzzled and I'm horrified.
"We always walk to class together from school. Please be
joking."
"Idiot! You start an hour after me. I knew you wanted an
excuse to be in booty shorts around for Scotty." I
scowl.
"So what do I do for an hour? Should I walk over to the
studio?"
"And wait around for an hour? No way just hang out here
I'm sure you'll find something to do." Suddenly I
wish I wasn't so advanced. "I have to go or
Kendall's gonna get there first and be, well obnoxious. See
ya chica!"
I walk around nervously and head to my locker to pretend to be
busy. "Sammy?" I look over at the sound of a
boy's voice. "I have to tell you something. Umm I play
lacrosse with your brother. It's urgent." My heart
feels like it's stopping.
"What happened to Luke? Did you call my parents? Is he
okay? Should I go to the hospital? Oh my god," I sit down
on the windowsill. "Please tell me he's
okay."
"No your brother's fine. This has nothing to do with
him." I realize that it's Scott. "I was wondering
what you're doing for the next hour." I nearly
laugh.
"Well I would be at dance but now I start an hour later so
I'll walk over in about a half hour."
"In the rain?" He asks. I look outside to realize
that it's raining, not pouring, but it'll start to
soon. "I'll go over with you." He
smiles.
"Are you a human umbrella?"
"Nah, but I'm skipping my game so I'd better not
be at school." I'm shocked and apparently it shows on
my face. "Your brother gets all the attention from the
coach and I broke my hand last year so that's
the excuse to favor him as center offense."
I sigh. "He doesn't ask for the attention. It bugs him
a lot too but it always seems to happen."
"Let's start walking to that dance place." I
almost start to talk but he interupts me. "Maybe we can
stop in the rain."
About fifteen minutes later I'm kissing my first boy friend
in the rain outside of my favorite place in the world, my dance
studio. Life couldn't feel more perfect. But of course it
never stays that way for me.
