Destined

First Day. Rockell, Emma, Nick, and Ashtyn

“b***h! Get in the car so we can get some donuts before school!”

Rockell loves her some donuts. I don’t see how she stays so skinny. She is absolutely gorgeous with her olive skin tone, dark brown curls and green eyes. Every guy at school drools over her but she’s only has a heart for one lucky guy. Nick Ristenbatt.

He’s ok. He’s actually a year older than us, still a senior but is on co-op and gets to make money all day while we have to sit in class.

Nick is a bit of a dork but kind of emo all rolled into one but he’s got good taste in cars. We’re heading to school in a 1969 black Dodge Charger. This car is sick all done up in mint condition. Lucky but he does work hard.

Rockell-

“So, Emma, are you nervous about starting today? I’m sorry we didn’t get to get out much to meet my friends but I’m sure you will fit right in!”.

My cousin Emma is stunning. Our family says we are like twins but she definitely has the better body. She has curves but athletic built, long brown curly hair with blonde and crimson red highlights. Her green eyes pop with her olive skin and she always wears tinted lipgloss. She has this crazy obsession with her lips, I mean they are so full and plumped any guy would love to kiss them, heck if we weren’t related I would probably want to kiss them!

Emma is one of a kind though, she’s had it rough the last two years after her father dying in the war but she is tough. She keeps going and that’s what I love about her. She’s very talented, has this amazing singing voice almost like Joan Jett mixed with Stevie Nicks. I hope she isn’t too shy and joins theater. We may look rebellious but we are talented when it comes to theatrical arts and singing.

“We’ll girl we are here!” Are you nervous? Better wipe that donut powder off your face before rumors fly that the new chick is a coke head!”.

Emma-

(Slaps Rockell jokingly) Yo! Thats not funny!

Nick-

“Hey hey guys what the dilly!?”.

(Fist bumps a few guys friends walking into school).

“So Rocks cuz is in town. First day today so be nice”. She’s kinda shy but hot as..”

Rockell-

“(Coughing) ummm what’s that Nickolai? My cousin is what???..yea shut your self up before I smack you. (Kisses Nick then cracks a smile).

Nick-

“Babe , she’s hot but not as hot as you”.( kisses again) “I love you”.

Rockell-

“Love you too, now get to class, I have to show her to the office “.

Emma-

“What the heck was that s**t? Girl lets get to office so I can figure out my classes.”

Walking into school I was a bit nervous but everyone was saying hi to Rockell. I think she’s more popular than she thinks. I felt like I was getting the stare down. There was such a mix of kids in this school, jocks, rebels, cowboys, I even passed by a group of snobs. It isn’t highschool without the snobby rich bitches. I’ve had my experiences with those types back in Cali and we dod not mesh well.

I went into the office and got my schedule. I walked out with Mrs Landry the office secretary and she told me good luck today.

I walked over to to the water fountain and stood there in the hallway with Rockell and another girl named Steph, one of Rockell’s close friends, we were waiting for my “tour guide” to meet me to show me around to my classes.

All of a sudden, I never felt so out of place by being stared at. I noticed this girl, she was petite, skinny, very pretty, shoulder length straight blonde hair, pale skin and brown eyes. Kind of dressed a little mom the sluttier side but tried to look nerdy. She glared at me and then she kept looking to her right and then back at me. I looked towards the direction she kept looking over at and I seen Nick and a few guys but made eye contact with one in particular. He was staring at me like I was the only thing in the world. We locked eyes for a minute, I felt tingly inside and was in such a daze when I faintly heard Rockell say my name. I definitely zoned everything out but this guy.

He was the most handsome guy I have ever seen. I could feel the butterflies instantly in my stomach. I never felt such a way. His stare literally made me melt.

Rockell-

“Emma, this is Ashtyn. She’s gonna be your school guide”. (Quietly whispers in my ear as she walks away “I’m sorry, she’s a b***h).

Ashtyn-

“Hi I’m gonna walk you to your first class before the bell goes off. So where are you from? I heard Rockell’s cousin was coming to town but I didn’t know you were staying. Do you have a boyfriend from wherever you came from?” I noticed you seen Tyler, did you talk to him yet?

Emma-

Whoa.. This girl seemed like a straight up nosey b***h right off the bat. Only thing I can think of is she is either dating the hot guy named Tyler or she likes him or they dated and he broke up with her. I don’t know but there’s definitely something there.

“Hi. Yea I dont know him, thanks for showing me around. (Me thinking this sarcastically as I’m saying it). I’m from San Fran, Cali. No bf. Didn’t have the time for one back home. I had too much happening with theater and stuff. Plus I just wasn’t interested in any of the stuck up guys at my old school. Not my type. And the guys I did get along with were just friends and still not my type.”

Ashtyn-

“Oh so what IS your type? And that’s cool so you’re near like famous people? Must’ve been tough moving so far away. (Sounding sarcastic) Well I took notice you seen my guy in the hallway.. just forewarning, he’s taken.

Emma-

“Oh well can we just get to class, you’re supposed to be showing me where my classes are not warning me about guys (eyeball roll). Let’s just get this day over with? You obviously have an issue with me and don’t even know me so once today is done you can pretend I don’t exist, I’ll do the same”.

I’ve never met a mean girl before but I’m pretty sure she’s the leader of the plastics in this school. I may have made my first enemy. Great. I may seem quiet but I dont take any bullshit and I definitely hate drama. I’m a brutally honest person.

Well, we did get through the day. I absolutely hate Ashtyn. She wasn’t nice at all and I sat with Rockell at lunch and I could literally lip read her entire conversation with her group of plastic minions. I mean gosh can you be more obvious when all 4 heads are looking right me and talking. I’m sure I’ll be hated by the entire cheer squad but it is what it is.

I will stay in my lane and totally ignore them. I’m better than that. Plus auditions start next week for the musical so I was able to make a new friend in class and got the scoop on auditions.

I met up with Rockell after 8th period. Nick can’t take us home because he works till 4:30. He has 2 classes a day then heads to co-op, so we are walking to the diner to talk about today and just relax. The first day back after summer back is pretty easy so we’re gonna celebrate day 1 and then Nick will pick us up. The nice thing about riding with them is Rockell lives right across the street from me.

Nick-

“Hello ladies”. (Sounding all smooth, give Rockell a kiss). “So how was day 1 miss Emma? I hear someone was peepin’ you out”. (Laughing)

Let me tell you something, my boy has been livin it rough too. He’s a good guy who deserves good things in life and Ashtyn is not one of them. Trust me, he cannot stand her. She’s nuts”.

Emma-

“Did they ever date? Like I don’t understand how someone can act so possessive if they never had a relationship. She was such a b***h today, she tried to make me look like an a*s or something, I really wanted to smash my lunch in her face but my burger was actually pretty good and didn’t want to waste it on a worthless piece of trash ..and her an her fake looking friends kept looking at me”.

Rockell-

“ They never officially dated but he said they never had s*x so I don’t know what her deal is. She’s been like this with him since 7th grade. And to be honest Emma, he’s never been too interested in girls at this school. He’s never had an official girlfriend. He’s definitely not gay, I think he’s just raised right and is a true gentleman. Plus his mom died a couple years ago so it has been rough for him”.

Emma-

“Thats horrible, we both know I can totally relate. I don’t know what it was but when I looked over and seen him staring at me, I felt my whole body melt to the floor. I’m not too nervous of a person but I’m terrified of him. Not in a bad way but like in a way I can’t control myself. I’ve never felt a feeling like this before.

Rockell-

“Girl.. let me tell you, the firs..

Nick-

“The first time she seen me she literally fell to the ground. (Laughing hysterically). We were in 6th grade and she was riding bike at the park. A bunch of us were there playing ball and her and Steph come rolling by , ah yea Steph on her roller blades, she was such a dork because she could not skate for s**t. But I remember whistling at you both and Rock fell off her bike. I felt bad and the guys were laughing but I ran over to help her. And that was it, I knew she was going to be my girl friend one day. It wasn’t until we hit 8th grade though and we had 5 classes together. We became like best friends. And we’ll, here we are, right wifey? (Laughing)”.

Rockell-

Yep, that was sure a time but I felt those same butterflies at age 12! And they never went away. When someone is defined to be together it happens I unexpectedly and the bond becomes so tight that nothing nor anyone can undo it. We have a plan for our future, hence the co-op decision. As soon as we graduate we’re buying a house. I won’t work at the diner forever but we both are saving and I think we can do it”.

Emma-

“I’m so damn happy for the both of you. I can definitely tell you are both very much in love, and you don’t seem to get jealous of other people. Like miss Ashtyn b***h. She better watch, I’m not mean but I may end up breaking her face this year.”

That was a nice chat at the diner. Nick dropped us off and Rockell and I both went to our houses. I had a nice conversation with my mom and sister at dinner. My sister had a great day too. She made a few friends and already has plans to go bowling Saturday. That might not be a bad idea for me and my fiends to go too. Bella gave me the eye roll when I said that bc she thinks I’m spying on her.

After dinner I took a hot bath and laid in bed, reflected on the day I had and then my phone started to ding.

I got a friend request on f*******: from Tyler Keenan. The butterflies are back!

It’s him! I’m in such a panic wondering what to do… well accepting the request would be a start. I hit confirm.

I waited, and waited. Oh my god 10 minutes went by and it’s taking all I have not to click on his profile and be nosey. But maybe he’s looking at mine! Now I’m wondering if I have any embarrassing pictures posted. And then it dinged.. I got a messag!!! Ugh It’s Rockell.

Me typing - Girl, I thought it was Tyler! He just requested me and now I’m like nervous as f**k and I dont know what to do. I wanna look at his profile but you know that nervous feeling when you look someone up and you’re afraid if you’ll accidentally hit like or something . I don’t want him to think I’m a stalker or nosey. What if I say something stupid. ??‍♀️

Rockell typing- Girl stop! You’re fine. He just asked me about you. He thinks you’re stunning. He didn’t say hot, he said stunning. A gentleman uses a word like that! Just keep your cool. It’ll be fine. I gotta go my moms yelling for me. GN ✌️❤️

Emma-

Ok ok, keep your cool Emma. Get some sleep. Tomorrow is going to be interesting.
