With four college's picked out, can she do it? Her family thinks so!
"Oh my god, Kenz. Did you get your homework fished for Mr.Martin?" Makenzie's friend Emily said to her. "Yeah! Did you?" "No. I didn't have anytime at all! Can you help me in study hall?" "Sure, but I have to help clean dishes first. But, I should have time to help you."
"Thanks, girl. I don't know what I would do without you." "I'll see ya later, Em!" "OK. Bye." Makenzie walked to her 4th hour; World History in her silk light baby blue blouse, light tan dress pants, baby blue high heels, and diamonds in her ears, with her hair curled and teased. Blonde Hair and Blue Eyes, she sure did have everything a guy looked for. She has a boyfriend named Chance Pruit. "Hey babe!" Chance yelled with excitment to Makenzie. "Hey, still on for tonight?" "Of course, beautiful. Anything for you." "Oh, shut up! You're such a dork, babe." "Haha, you said 8 right?" Chance asked Makenzie. "Yeah, I have cheer practice from 4-8. You always forget, Chance!" "Sorry! You know I have practice 3-6,too....Right?" "Yes I know. Unlike you, I actually remember." "Sorry, Kenz. I'll remember next time, I promise." "You better! Or I'll have to kick your ass! Hahaha." "Haha, okay, babe. I'll let you." "OK. I have to go though, I love you babe!" "Love you, too gorgeous! Bye." Makenzie entered her 4th hour, spotting a new kid named Edward. "Good morning class. This is, Edward Black. Everyone treat him how you would like to be treated. Um, Edward, have a seat right back there beside Makenzie Clark.." Mrs. Johnson said nicely. "I'm Makenzie, Hi Edward." Edward didn't say a word. He just sat very nervously beside Makezie. The class last 45 minutes, 45 minutes that Edward couldn't handle. As soon as the class was over, he ran out of class as if he was about to die. "Is he OK, Kenz?" Mrs. Johson asked Makenzie. "I think so? He didn't say anything. He seemed really worried, though. I don't know what about." "Alright, that's all I needed to know. Thank you, Makenzie. Have a good day!" "Thanks, you too." Makenzie then left the class to meet up with Emily. Emily was just right down the hall in Algebra II waiting for her. When Makenzie reached Emily she seen Edward standing right next to her. "Emily!" Makenzie yelled. Edward looked back, then walked away very fast down the hall then turned right going towards the gym. "Hey, Kenz." "Was he saying anything to you?" "Who?" Emily asked Makenzie. "That boy. The boy that was standing beside you. The one with the brown short hair, taned skin, green eyes, Green Shirt, dark washed out jeans, and boots?" "Um, I don't think so? I mean, if he was I didn't hear anything he was saying. Why? Is everything OK?" "Yeah, I just have him in my 4th hour. He's new, but he wont talk he just seems like he's hiding something, or he's worried about something. I don't know! The guy was weird though." "Oh..Um, Haha okay." Emily laughed at how Makenzie was acting about it. "I'm starving, are you?" "Yes! Let's get to lunch." "Sounds good." Makenzie and Emily walked to lunch, when they got there, there was no sign what so ever of the new kid, Edward. They both got into line though, Makenzie getting a bottle of water, a turkey sandwich, crackers, penut butter N' Jelly, and an apple. And Emily getting a milk, hot dog, and an apple for a snack. Makenzie has to eat healthy in order to stay in shape for Cheerleading, so does Emily. But, Emily don't take her eating as serious as Makenzie does. Later into lunch, Chance; Makenzie's boyfriend came into the lunch room and sat down beside Makenzie. Followed by Emily's boyfriend Ivan. Both boys we're very sporty. Being in sports it what got the four talking so much. They all became bestfriends soon into everyone's relationship. Double dating, going out bowling, driving eachother everywhere together, it all made perfect sense. Ivan was a big jokester though, something about him joking all the time made Emily angry. She didn't like that he would joke with a bunch of girls, and herself. "Hey, Ivan stop! You're emabarrassing me.." Emily snapped at Ivan. "Aye, take a chill pill! Dang.." Ivan and Chance snickered. "I'm not hungry anymore.. Chance will you walk with me to dumb my tray?" "Yeah, i'll be back Ivan." Chance said to Ivan. "Ight man." Makenzie and Chance walked up to dump both trays. Walking up there, Makenzie sees Edward walking into the lunch room. They both stop and just look at eachtoher for a minute straight... No blinking..Nothing. "Babe...Babe? Makenzie!" Chance yelled, trying to get Makenzie's attention. "What? Oh! Sorry." "Are you OK?" He asked. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just dazed out for a second, I don't know. Sorry. " She giggled. "Uh, alright?" Then they both walked away leaving Edward just watching Makenzie's every move. Lunch was over, and it was time for the afternoon classes which Makenzie had with Chance. But, she has to stay in the lunchroom half of her next class to help with kitchen duty to clean the dishes. After that, she would go back to class; study hall to help Emily with Mr.Martin's homework that she was unable to get finsihed. "I'll catch up with y'all later!" "Alright, remember you have to help me." Emily confirmed to Makenzie. "I know, Em. See ya Ivan, Love you Chance." "Bye baby." Chance said. "See ya!" Ivan said. Makenzie stayed in the lunch room for about 25 minutes. A little bit longer than what was planned. But, she didn't mind it really. She finsihed what she was to do, went to her locker, got her books and bags, and checked her cell phone before returning to class. As she checked her phone, she seen she had a text from her sister Victoria "OMG sis! we have a new student, he is like SO weird. u need 2 c him!" She immediatly thought it was Edwards younger brother. Couldn't be to much younger, Makenzie was just starting 10th and her sister Victoria was in 8th grade. Makenzie replied fast before heading to class "cool, vic. we have a new student 2. what's that guys last name? g2g 2 class now though. txt u ltr." Makenzie put her phone back into her locker, then walked two doors down and reached study hall. Emily, and Chance were sitting beside eachother waiting on Makenzie to finally come to class, She shut the door and took her seat. "Hey, sorry i'm a little late. They needed me to clean the tables, too." "It's alright, babe. But, help your friend. She's so dumb!" He complained. "Hey, Shut up! I am not!" Emily said with anger. Makenzie helped Emily with 5 out our 15 questions. she gave Emily one answer though. Makenzie was weird about having people do work on their own though. She believes that people need to do things on there own, in order to become successful in what they want to acheive. With a minute of class left, Emily got all of her work finished. As Makenzie walked out of class, she seen Edward sitting in the corner of the room. "That's him, Em...." Makenzie whispered to Emily. "He's cute!" "Shut up." Next their 6th hour they have Mr.Martin. As that class came to an end, it was 2:53pm. Time for school to let out. Makenzie went to her locker, checked her phone once more and seen she has two texts from Victoria "his last night? uh it's black. y?" and one more "meet me N' front of Mrs. Turners classroom. im waitin" Makenzie grabbed her Victoria Secret Cheer bag, put her books away, bent over, pulled her hair up. Grabbed her cell phone, and school ID card, then left to meet up with her younger sister to go home. They went up to the student parking lot, where Makenzie's brother, Michael was waiting on them to run they home then come back for football practice. He always get's to practice 5 minutes late. But, they allow it since he's captin, and has to take his sister's home. This is Michael's senior year. "Hurry up you two!" Michael yelled at the girls. "We're hurrying, Mike! Shut up!" Victoria yelled up. They got to Michael's 2009 Ford F-150 Midnight black truck, got in and left for home. "How was school, you guys?" Makenzie asked both. "Mine was good. We got a new student, but you already know that he." Victoria said to Makenzie's question. "Mine was fine." Michael said. "Awesome, I guess." Makenzie said. She leaned over, turned up the radio and listened to Lil Wayne the rest of the way home. When they got home, neither parent was home. But, they left a note 'Took your mom out for the night, be home tomorrow afternoon. Mike-Clean your room, and clean the porch. Kenz-Clean your room, and the Kitchen. Vic-Clean your room and the living room! Mom already cleaned the rest of the house. Dinner's in the fridge. Take care. Love always; Dad and Mom. PS BE GOOD!!!' Victoria grabed the note and thew it away. "I guess I'll just go clean my room right now." Victoria said. "You need to clean your room, and the living room right now, Vicky. Seriously, don't be lazy." "I'm not, Kenz! Just shut up. I'll clean it on my own time, OK?" "Whatever, Just have it done before 8 tonight whenever I get back. Alright?" "Alrighty." I'll go make you a sandwich before I have to leave." "K. thanks." "Welcome, now go clean." "OKAY!!!" Victoria left for her room to clean, about 15 minutes later Makenzie went to check on Victoria to see how she was doing and gave her a water and a sandwich. "Now, don't make a mess. Bring the plate back out when you're finished. I'm going to get ready for Cheer." "K." Makenzie left the room, went to her room picked out Black shorts that said "Dare To Dream? Then Cheer Extreme!" on the butt, grabed a white tank top, and grabed her school jacket, put on her tennis shoes, put her hair up, added a ribbon, done her make-up. Ate a sandwich and an Apple with some water. Called her Aunt Kara to take her to practice, then left. Victoria normally stays home until Michael or her Parents get home, anyways. So, she was OK to stay home alone.
"Bye, Aunt Kara! Thanks for the ride, Love you!" "Have fun, sweetie. No problem, love ya too girl!" Makenzie walked into practice, as she was walking she seen Chance. Ran over, gave him a gentle kiss, and said she loved him, then went into the gym for her practice. Practice lasted until
