Chapter One
My name is Mira. I have been living in a town in Michigan called Davison for my entire life. It's not a big town, but it isn't super small either. There are a lot of buildings and wooded areas here but that's what I love about this place. It has lots of little shops downtown, a high school called Davison High; with a bunch of losers, and to say I'm not one of them would be a complete and utter lie. Yes, we have your geeks and typical jocks and everything in between, but we all get along for the most part. Kind of.
Take Scott, for example. He is the school's quarterback, my best guy friend, and 100% gorgeous. I swear with his clean, shiny brown golden retriever like hair and perfect white smile, he could be a DemiGod! Well, not really. I'm exaggerating a little, I mean, he is hot but not my type. Scott is 6'7" and has deep brown eyes that are light brown when the light hits them just right. It’s really pretty. We get along great. It's almost creepy.
"Hey, Mira!" Scott yelled from across the room. He gave me a stunning smile when I got closer. "So how was walking in the rain?"
I dumped my damp jacket on his head and laughed as his face scrunched up at the coldness of the water. "It was lame like always. Why didn't you pick me up, you jerk?" I asked as I also smiled and sat next to him. I walked six miles to get to school. It is normally a four mile walk, but the other two miles are because I didn't want to walk through the woods behind my house. It would be faster if I did, but they just creeped me out. I always feel like I'm being followed or something. Don't get me wrong, I love the woods, but the one by my house is the only one that creeps me out. Maybe it's just because I live by them. I have no idea.
"I had practice." Scott said, shaking his hair out and getting his textbook wet.
"Oh really? That's really weird. Why in the morning?" I asked as I started writing in my agenda book. Ya, I have an agenda book, but everyone here does. The school makes us use them. Why? I have no f*****g clue. "Why do you write inside that thing anyway? No one uses them." I look up to see Scott rolling his eyes at me.
Scrunching my face to look annoyed I point at him with my pen and say "I asked you a question Mister. Don’t even try to change the subject." and flipped my attention back to my agenda book.
"Coach texted the team last night saying we had practice this morning so I wasn't able to pick you up. Ya know how he and his wife can get Ira. You had her for cheer." he said with a raised eyebrow and a half smile. Ok yes I was a cheerleader once upon a time, don't judge me long story to why I'm not.
"Just asking why? There something bad about yourself you need to tell me?" I said sarcastically. He rolls his eyes and laughs with me.
“So uh.. Hey, why do you even use that thing? No one ever writes in it.” scott asks tilting his head towards my agenda.
I shrug and continue to jot stuff down. “Honestly I'm just used to doing it. You know how when you run a drill so many times at practice so you don't forget or it becomes almost second nature? That's what years of being told to write in this has done to me. I've done this so much it's hard not to.” one hundred percent truth.
Mr. Jay, our health teacher, came into the room just as i finished writing saying "Sorry class we won't be learning about reproduction today." Most of the guys in my class are freshmen and when I say most I really mean all but like five. I heard some "Awww man's" and "dang it bro's" I just looked at Scott and smiled. "Instead we are watching a movie about reproduction!" UGH!! All the boys yelled yes! I rolled my eyes and mouthed "Kill me!" to Scott. "Never" he mouthed back and gave me a funny look. We turned our attention back on the teacher.
"Now as we all know reproduction is....." before he could finish, the freshmeat yelled "s*x!" and even I covered my ears. Mr. Jay scolded them and they quieted down. He cleared his throat and started again "Yes it is. But s*x between what?" I was only half paying attention when he called me. "Mirawhat does reproduction mean and between what?" Was he really asking me this??
I sighed and answered "Reproduction is s*x and honestly it is between almost anything." He nodded then went to the board putting up one very detailed drawing of animals having s*x and another of two humans having s*x. Not only will I be having nightmares for the next month and a half but the pictures will be imprinted into my head! "Now can anyone tell me how many positions there are?" So you would think the creepy part of him asking that was the whole thing but ohhh no. The creepy part is when he asks it he looks right at me and Scott. "Jack, can you tell me?"
"No but why would we have to know this? It isn't logical for you to teach the positions." Jack looked at me then continued "I mean if you have someone to test them with then go for it but why do we need to make her...." he pointed to me "....feel uncomfortable?"
Mr. Jay looked at me and asked "Mira are you uncomfortable talking about this?"
"No but can I be out for the video? I might throw up." This is bull s**t.
"If you do then yes I'll give you a pass but you will watch it until then." I turned my head to look at Jack who was staring at me. He winks and then I turn right back around. Hell no creep.
Jack has been in love with me ever since my ex boyfriend James moved away and Jack thinks that I will go out with him. He always asks and I say no. I turn back around and look forward. Not really caring what the teacher is saying. "So do you really not want to watch it?" Scott asked in a whisper.
"Why would I, this class is so easy and disgusting." I could pass the test for this class and not have to be here so easily but I'm not gonna let Scott suffer alone.
Scott laughed a little "thought you liked it that way?" I look at him and move my eyebrows up and down with a goofy grin then get serious. "I do but when your parents and teachers talk about it it’s just creepy. Also I really hate the fact that Jack is always staring at me." Mr. Jay hates me. I think he likes torturing me. He sat Jack behind me even after I told him what was happening.
"Why don't you just switch out or pass the class? We all know you can be a geek." Jack said clearly eavesdropping. I rolled my eyes and turned to face him "I don't want to leave Scott with you and also he is my best friend so if he takes this class I take it. So he can pass." I turned around and boy was I getting frustrated.
"Hey, that was rude! On another note don't worry. Everything will be ok. And I'll see if I can get you out of this or you could just faint." Scott said with a smile on his face. "Second one" I said with a little laugh. Mr. Jay started the movie and at first all I hear is moaning and then I see two people doing it. Next thing I know, I see a lot of blood, and I'm out like a light.
