Chapter three

“And you agreed with him to hang out, even though you didn’t know his friends. You’re still crazy Nat, still crazy.” I was talking over the phone with my best friend from Queensland, Sally.
“Well I’m sorry that I’m madly in love with the greatest guy on earth”
“So, how’s Melbourne, apart from the ‘greatest guy on earth?’”
“I’m friends with,” I hate saying this, but it’s true, “bimbos.”
“You just can’t say no to people, can you? I’d hug you and take you back to warm, sunny Gold coast, but I don’t have superhero abilities like x-men.” By the way, did I mention Sally liked all those marvel comic, superman type things, like how I love Japan?
“If only I could fly and visit afterschool. But, looking on the brightside, this might bring up chances for me to leave the pink, and be less girly!!!”
“Good luck!!! Oh, my mum’s calling me for dinner. Bye bye!” and then the dial tone started, and I looked outside. It was raining. Hadn’t seen that in a while. It makes me feel nostalgic. I’ve left most of my life behind, and a part of the past has come back to me. Term holidays over tomorrow, new school term. Everything’s going so fast.
I came to Brettin high near the end of term one. I think it was week nine out of eleven. Yeah, and I was eating lunch by myself. Then came the Pink girls; I had….friends, but, not friends.
Term two, give me your best.

“OMG! Hey Nat!” Hannah ran up to me and literally squeezed all the air out of me.
“Hey Hannah” I managed to puff out.
“Like, I love a new term. There’s this fresh atmosphere about it that seems anything could happen! OMG!!!!! It’s Liana!!!” What was it that Hannah said? She was being smart for once. A fresh atmosphere…anything could happen…anything…
“So, hi Nat! Can’t wait to say hi to cutie boy, yeah?” Liana nudged me with her elbow and, awoke me from my day dream.
“Oh, look, here! He’s just the-ere!!!” Wha?! Oh my god, here comes Evan. Please don’t turn red. Please don’t turn red.
“He went over there. I bet he’s friends with the…”The girls have, like, I don’t know, a chant for the, I would say, popular guys. It goes like…
“Josh, Ced, Bryce and Chris! They’re the guys in our only wish! Bahahahaha!” A-nnoy-ing.

* * *

Its lunch, and it’s time to hang out with Evan. Oh god. This is so much like those stupid movies. Or when Ichigo was asking Masaya in Tokyo mew mew on a date. Not what’s happening, but same feeling. “Hey Nat, how you going?” Such a smooth voice…
“Oh, I’m fine, you?” I managed to say.
“Great. Those guys, Cedric and stuff, you know them yeah? They’re the guys I met at the party. Cool, yeah?” Them? Now the girls will be all “You go with him Alisha and blah blah”
“You talking to Nat, Evs? Isn’t it too early to have a girlfriend? Or is that how you play?” said Josh, the “joker” of the pack. Code red! CODE RED!!! I feel my cheeks going hot, hot, hot!
“Nah, she’s just an old friend from Queensland.” Thank-yooou Evan. And here come the girls…here we go.
“Hey guys! What’s happening, like, here?”
“Oh, Evs was just chatting up-”
“We were just talking to Natalie” Said Cedric. Cedric’s sort of the leader of the group, and, I must say myself, literally one of those guys you find in those pirate movies were he’s the hot guy who’s a gentleman. (Or Tadase from Shugo Chara…so prince like!) His hair is a burgundy colour that’s ruffled, to add that smoldering effect he has on girls. Not me though.
“So how’d you guys go on the, like, big math’s test we had last term? I, totally sucked, while Nat, like, ACED it, even though she wasn’t here till, like, the end of the term!” Please shut your big mouth Alisha. Now I’ll be seen as even more out of place and-
“You aced it too? High-five!” Ah, yes. Of course Chris aced it. He is, after all, the smartest person in our year level. He was dux last year, as it says on those chart things they have in the assembly hall. He has glasses and browny-black hair and, as Hannah calls them “Killer powdery-blue sapphire eyes.” How many colour’s does she have to use? They’re just blue. I high-fived him back. Hadn’t done one of those in a while. Bryce wasn’t here today. Hannah was a bit sad of that. She’ always had crushes on all of them, but especially liked Bryce.
“OMG, they’re goes the bell! ILY guys!” said Liana and the girls and guys went there separate ways. But Evan decided to go up to me. I was lagging behind so the girls didn’t notice. Thank-god.
“You free tonight?” I thought he’d never ask. My hearts beating ten gazillion miles a minute.
“Y-yeah.”
“Cool. Wanna meet me at the park near school at…seven?”
“S-sure.”
“Great. Bye!” and the prince ran to his group, leaving the girl happily speechless. Wait. How the heck will I tell my parents? “Hey dad, I’m just going to go out with a guy to the park at seven. That fine with you?” Crap. Crap. CRAP!!!!! Do I have to tell one of the Pink Ladies to cover for me? Seems so. Hell, here I come.



Glossary!!! And authors note (oooh!)
“Or when Ichigo was asking Masaya in Tokyo mew mew on a date.” – Tokyo mew mew is an anime/manga that I love.
“(Or Tadase from Shugo Chara…so prince like!)” – Shugo chara is my favourite anime, and manga. Tadase is one of Amu’s (the main character) love interests, who the girls of the school have nick-named him “prince”, for his sweet type of personality.

Authors note: What fun we’ve had so far! I’m gonna do authors not every 3 chapters or so. This chapter’s long, but it’s the basis for the quite-not-so main characters. Bryce’s personality will be told soon. But we have the basis, and slight understanding of all. Glossary has been added and will stay when any Japanese references are made. What will happen at the park!? Of course I know, but you don’t!!! Magic will be there soon, and more Japan, and waaaaaaaaay more boys.
