First day of this year, me, Alice Gallaghan, I'm in HIS class. Although I was in extension class last year I still couldn't believe it as the teacher said his name and mine, entwined in the same sentence. I was really excited. I knew that he had broken up with Amy. I am really happy about it. I know that this is sad and all, but it's true. As we walked into the classroom, I couldn't keep my eyes off his beautiful face. At once, his eyes met mine and we had a silent connection for a minute. Never before have I ever thought of the possibility that I would like someone this much. It's something new to me. Never before have I been unable to find the words for anything. He said 'Hi' to me but I forgot how to speak, so I waved. This was going to be the beginning of something new.Last year, I couldn't muster up the confidence to say anything other than 'Hi' but this year is going to be different. Alexis is really good at talking to him, maybe it's because she can actually talk to him without muking up what she says. I have NEVER been unable to talk to someone. You could say, he took my breath away.The only time I find the confidence to talk to Zac is this term, term 4. We sit near each other in math so I try and talk and it works. Our friendship is building, it's gone from 0% construction to 89%.Oh No! Our building has fallen over because the bulldozer, Carmen Dover came along. Although she's kind of a frenemy, I guess you could say that she's kind of shy but she's a frenemy because she can be mean sometimes. She sat next to Zac and TRIED to flirt with him. I never noticed the warning signs such as,"Watch out! Bulldozing in session." or "Caution! Alice's tears! Wet floor!"I was focusing on the bigger bulldozer, the mother of all bulldozers, Kayla Mayfair. Kayla Mayfair recently moved to California and decided to join our group. To tell the truth, she's a really, super extremely, mean, leaving-out-people, attention-seeking person. She has OFFICIALLY flirted with every guy in our school. Everyone says that there's no competition between us and that I'd win by far. I don't believe this. I don't think it's true. Zac is so smart, popular, good-looking, musically talented, artistically talented, style co-ordinated and the list goes on and on."See you next year!!" I shouted to Zac as he walked home with his crowd. "Yeah see you next year!!!" he yelled back. My heart raced, almost as fast as he runs and man does he run fast! I was dazed by the connection of our eyes once more, so dazed that I tripped over. Who does that? Well, I guess it's me because secretly, Zac, I'm falling more in love with you.
Year 7:
It was orientation day when I first met him, his name was Zac Bonney. Being the clumsy girl I am, I tripped over in front of him as I tried to say 'Hi!'. Although I didn't realize it at that moment, he had a girlfriend, her name was Amy Campbell. Amy was THE PRETTIEST GIRL in year 7 at the time and Zac, well he wasn't as good looking as he is now.
Who am I? My name is Alice Gallaghan, my nationality cannot be defined but to give a brief insight on what I look like I'll tell you. I'm average height, with around shoulder-length long brown hair (which glows orange/blonde/red in the sun), I'm quite fit, I have an olive skin tone (The same as Vanessa Hudgens), I wear glasses when reading, I'm a straight A student in academics and I'm also a straight A student when it comes to style too. I have many talents but the main one is singing. Living in a place like California you find many different people with many different talents.
My friends are currently James Ballantyne, my best friend that's a guy and I will NEVER EVER get together with him. He's the smart, funny, side-fringe, black hair, tall, fair asian complexion guy but I'll never have feelings for him in that way because he's my friend. Anyways, my friend who i refer to as my 'twin' is Cordelia Aiton. She's born one day before me and is ALWAYS confused. She's short and lean, she has shoulder-length, straight, jet black hair, she's got an asian complexion and wears braces. Then there's Jasmine Sullivan, she's not your usual cup of tea either. She has Hazel-coloured eyes, a fair skin tone, average height and longish, wavy, brown hair. Then there's Ben Denton, he's got straight, black hair, he's quite short, he has braces and he's Chinese and Phillipino. Tessa Halifax is a short, cute, wavy, black haired girl who has an asian skin tone. Alexis Marcellus is of average height, asian skin tone, long, straight, jet-black hair. We're all straight-A students from rich families. We attend the private schools St Caroline Girls and St Joseph's Boys, the two, top schools in the whole of California. This is where the story began.
