Chapter 1: Familiar

Chapter 1

"Man, another boring day of school." I sighed. School was getting so boring, nothing interesting never happens here. My name is Brittany, but people call me Prisco (my last name). I'm 16 years old and I'm scared to grow up, but I'm excited. I only had two boyfriends before and that was enough for me so far. My last two boyfriends were freaks. One of them didn't care about me at all (that's what it seemed like) and the other was...eeewww I don't even want to talk about him. Well I'm now currently single which sucks, but its also fun at the same time.

"Yea tell me about it." My friend Jessica said as we were walking to our 5th period. Jessica is really pretty, but she never seems to think so. She is also 16 and is extremely goofy like me. Her hair is medium length and is now like a reddish brown, like mine too (except mine goes to the middle of my back) and she has really pretty blue eyes (I have greenish bluish yellowish eyes, weird mix of colors I know.)

"I wish some guy would like me for who I am and not what I look like." I had said, I wasn't trying to be conceited, but thats usually the reason why guys wanna date me...for my body. I'm skinny, but not like anorexic and I'm pretty tall, about 5'6.

"Yea well I have the perfect boyfriend." Jessica said happily and that kind of made me mad due to the fact that she didn't care about my problems at the moment.

"That's great for you, but not me." I said with a hint of irritation. Jessica's boyfriends name is Nick and I met him and he seemed nice. She always talks about him constantly and to be honest I'm a little jealous.

"Sorry." She she said with a smile. We walked into our fifth period English. It was super boring. My teacher, Mrs. Murphy, has this monotone that makes you want to fall asleep. She babbles the whole class period and whenever I look at the clock in there it seems like it went back a minute. The class was endless and it was only 50 minutes long. Nobody really talks in that class except for this extremely annoying kid (I used to date his brother...the gross one.) I'm usually pretty outgoing, but in that class I was far from outgoing because I felt overpowered by the really outgoing people. The bell finally rang and I rushed out the door.

The next couple of classes went by fast and the day was finally over. When I got home, I ate and read my book. I don't really go outside as much as I used to. I played soccer for 5 years and I was always outside running constantly and I just needed a break from the outside. It gets really hot here, I live in Clearwater, Florida and the weather here gets mega hot, even during the winter it's not even cold!

I was thinking about how my day today was boring, as usually. Nothing interesting ever happens at school. I feel like no guys like me, well most of them are my friends, but they don't like me like that. It gets so annoying. Well I fell asleep and dreamed about random things, there were no guys in my dream because I didn't like any guys. It was so annoying. I hate not having anyone to like , but I guess it could be a good thing because I can concentrate more on school. GOD WHO AM I KIDDING?!

"RRRRRING!!" My stupid alarm went off and it was time to get ready for school. I grabbed my jeans and a pair of flip flops along with my Hollister shirt. I got on the bus and just listened to my ipod the whole way and then we finally pulled up to school. I usually hang out with my best friend Jackie in the morning and I went over to her and my other friend Alex (a girl). We were all talking and chillin and all of a sudden my eyes shifted away from them to this guy. Jackie and Alex didn't notice and just kept talking to each other. He looked extremely familiar. I couldn't seem to grasp his gorgeous face. He seemed about my height and has beautiful blonde hair, it wasn't short, but it wasn't long. His eyes, oh his eyes, they were a caramel color. I got lost in his eyes. I don't think he noticed me, of course...I'm invisible.

"Are you ok, Prisco?" Jackie said with a confused face.

"Huh? Oh yea, I'm fine, just day dreaming." I smiled, but in my mind I was thinking of him and why he looked so familiar. The bell rang and I strutted off to my 1st period class. My 1st period is boring and I almost fell asleep until the bell rang. I then went to my third period and it went by fast and then finally the bell to go to lunch rang. I was walking until I saw Jessica, we just started talking and all of a sudden this kid I knew in elementary school came into my mind, I don't know why, it always happens. Sometimes out of nowhere, I start thinking about him because after elementary school I never saw him again and I'm in the 10th grade now. I liked him all throughout elementary, but I don't think he liked me.

"Hey, um." I interrupted her. "Do you remember that kid Sal Nicks from elementary?" I asked her.

"Yea, why?" She said with a smile that confused me.

"Just wondering, I kind if miss him." My sad face seemed to have made Jessica smile for some odd reason. "Are you happy he's gone or something.....?"

"No, it's just that I'm really good friends with him." I got really happy all of a sudden.

"Wow, are you serious?!" I was shocked.

"Yea, he goes to this school." She smiled.

"What?!" I was so excited. "What does he look like?"

"Well kind of the same, blonde hair, gorgeous caramel eyes, his hair is kind of short, he wears baggy pants and shirts....." OH MY GOD!! That's the kid I saw this morning that looked so familiar. I was so excited and the weird part is I would always talk about him out of nowhere and he's finally here!!

"Wow, could you ask him if he remembers me?" I was so excited.

"Yea, but I'll have to talk to him tomorrow because he doesn't have lunch with us." Jessica was happy to talk to him for me.

"Awesome." I said casually trying to calm myself down.

"Ok well I guess I will talk to you later." Jessica said.

"Ok, see ya." Jessica and I hung out with different groups of people. She hung out with emo, goth kids and  hung out with preppy, regular kids, but we befriended each other and became best friends.

I wasn't really paying attention to my friends at lunch because I was still in shock. I just couldn't believe he went to this school now! I can't wait for tomorrow, so Jessica can give me the details.

School is so boring, so boring, 5th period is boring....
Find a better vocab word. Its ok, I dont really want to read it because the story is incredibly flat. Its like shes 2D, no real emotion coming from her. Your sentances ( I usualy dont bother with grammer / spelling ) are choppy, and could use commas. Like I said, get a dictonary and use synonyms instead of constantly repeating the same words over and over again.
OK story I guess...

[Cคɾเ&#..]

I really like this ;]
I totally agree with the others it looks really cute, I need to read more...
Anyways I think it flows a little too fast. One second she's at school then shes asleep? then at school again. I didn't even know she was at home till the buzzer rang. But besides that I really like it!!!! I kind of disagree with another reviewer I enjoy the () They give you a insight on the charaters mind...which is you? Is this like a autobiography, I plan on writing one. Well I can relate to the character in alot of ways, that's why I like it so much. XD!

Nice Work!

[Ourebro.]

Makes me want to read more.

This piece is good. It has a good feel, and it's rounded. I especially like the fact and way that you describe your characters. But, there are some things you could do better on...

You portray your school life as pretty boring, and maybe it is. But you could use a variation of words besides "boring" for your periods, and describe them a bit more. Like just say what they are or something.

You do have an elegant, modern style of writing though. I think you could use that a bit more when you write.

I agree with the other reviewers..this seems like a really cute story! And you have my mind captured and wanting to read more!

I would though, go back and try and get rid of the (). It really brakes up the flow of your chapter, but if just reword the sentences, it will be fantastic!

Great job! Can't wait for the next chapter!!

Always,

[Write_In_ink]

It's kinda cute so far. I'm looking forward to more. and if you find yourself looking for my story, right now i just had to hide it because i had a moment of artistic insanity and i'm thinking of adding a huuuuuge change in my plot but i have to ask my like writing mentor if its a good idea.
But back to your story, I think it's gonna be really cute and i'm def. looking forward to finding out what happens next

[BeautifulDisaster]

Its a little boring at first, but trust me, it will get so much more intersting.
