MY CLICHÉ HIGH SCHOOL LIFE

CHAPTER TWO: Crises Averted

SLAM!!

P.S.: I closed my locker with extreme force, leaning on the locker, holding my chest and heaving with all the possible nerves I could use in my body.

The voice was from that chick I came across earlier. And I don't even know if it was me or she just got prettier minute by minute. She had long brown hair, thick long lashes (maybe those were just extensions) but they were still long though. The colour of her eyes was hard to explain, I just know it had a tint of green in them and those......

Snap! Snap!

"Hello, earth to Kourtney"

"Oh...um haha sorry I just kind of zoned out for a bit." I mumbled back to her. She must think I'm a weirdo now what should I say now and how does she know my name.

"Well, maybe it's because you told me your name and ran off like five minutes ago." She chuckled

's**t, I was thinking aloud again' And she had an Australian type of accent, and damn, it well with her whole look.

I managed to say, "Oh silly me, I forgot" while putting a fake smile on.

"My name is Natalie, Nat for short, and guess what, we already have two things in common." She said all joyfully.

Oh, so she's goofy like me.

"And what could they be?" I asked matter-of-factly.

"Number one, we both are new in the school and number two, we both agree that they have terrible wifi." She pointed out.

And just as I was about to say something, the bell, which I was guessing was for the first period, rang, and doors flew open and within seconds, the once empty hallway was filled with quite a few students. And not to be a diva, but I sure do like my personal space, so I grabbed Natalie by the arm and dragged her till we reached the main doors, and once we got outside, we both let out a sigh of relief. And ohh, I guess the wifi doesn't stink that much outside, seeing that it started working and both of our phones pinged and our class schedules popped up. I started to study mine, and to my surprise, it wasn't that bad as back then in California.

ON MONDAYS I HAD;

HOMEROOM;8:00-8:25

CALCULUS; 9:00-9:45

ENGLISH LIT;9:50-10:30

LUNCH BREAK;11:40-12:40

FREEDOM!!!

Not to really bore you with my whole class schedule, just know that it's really nice. I was too absorbed in my mini celebration that I didn't notice the horrific look on Natalie's face and the joy on my face soon faded away when I saw her class schedule. Boy, was it really going to be hectic for her.

"Cheer up!" I said giving her a side hug and a faint smile. Just not to seem like a b***h. "Maybe we could meet with the Student Councillor to adjust your schedule, cos you aren't even in college yet, and they are already planning to murder you with a schedule like this. But if you look on the bright side we have English Lit. together right now." I tried to change the mood as much as I could as I ushered her back into the building.

I opened the school map on my phone and tried looking for what looked like the place we were meant to have the class. Not ignoring a couple of shoulder bumps I had with other students going to their next class.

"Excuse me ladies you both must be Kourtney Stifler and Natalie O'Conner." The voice said guesturing to Natalie and I.

We just stood there and gave each other side glances as he continued talking. "I am Mr Winston and I have been assigned by the Principal to make sure that both of you get settled in properly. Pardon me for not coming earlier I was a bit busy with some students blah blah blah... "

What is he saying? God, I'm so bored, what is he talking about, and why is it taking forever to say? I know I'm not that good at paying attention, but this is just di.......

"Is that understood ladies?" He asked and was obviously waiting for some affirmation and I just had to wait for Natalie to react so that I could just copy her reaction and save my self from any other form of embarrassment.

"Yes sir." "Yes, very understood sir."

Booyah . Crises averted!!! And it looked like Natalie wasn't paying attention either, but our answers were just the best.

"That's good. So what can I help you with." He looked behind us and at our phones in our hands, "I figure you have already found your lockers and have your class schedules handy?"

"Well we both have English Lit. now but can't quite figure out where the class is being held and we have already missed our first period and don't want to miss the next." Sheesh, look at me sounding all professional like.

"Yes we wouldn't want to miss that." That was Natalie backing me up.

POW!! Yes I know I just mentally high-fived myself. Take a hike!!

"I love your eagreness and keen sense of responsibility. Just keep walking and take your second left and that's the only door there. Have a great first day." We shook hands and parted ways.

Immediately he was out of sight we both started laughing and wheezing uncontrollably and high fived each other.

We reached the door of the class, I checked my time and we were just Ten minutes late. We arranged ourselves and put on the most serious looks, maybe too serious cos it looks like we were holding a tight s**t. We took deep breaths and I opened the door.

Shit!! Believe me when I say that you could even hear the air moving around in the atmosphere. Its like they all were just looking at the door before we came in and weren't even learning at all.

The class room was huge. Row and rows and rows and rows, oh my God they are so much, you could say that the whole freaking city was in this room.

But hey I'm Kourtney you can't take everything I say too seriously there where only like six rows (that's if my calculus and algebra lessons paid off), each above the other. Those type you'll see in Government State Conferences but without the mics, obviously without the mics, what are we in a physical zoom meeting, pftt. In front of those rows and rows of chairs there was a huge smart board connected to the PC that was on what seemed to be the teachers table. And those walls........

DROP!!

Someones pen dropped and that's what it took me to snap out of my thoughts, my sweet sweet thoughts.

(I'm wiping an imaginary tear)

I coughed lightly and Natalie made an odd sound making us both giggle. For a girl I just met an hour ago, she is everything.

Well before we had the chance to get all jolly we were cut off by a chick whose voice, trust me when I say this, did not match her looks.

"You're both late. Find a seat and don't interrupt my class."
