Fresh Mountain High School

Remy Hart

“We’re here” Remy’s fathers voice sounded from the front seat, stating what any sane person could have figured out on their own. She gulped, tugging nervously at her hair. What if the other students didn't like her? She sighed, this was going to be a long day. Her father twisted around to look at her, wearing his same lazy smile but she could see tears forming in his eyes, barely though because her vision was already going hazy from her own tears.

“Now you be good and have fun. Oh and no boys, got it?” He joked, giving her an encouraging wink. She returned the remark with a sad smile.

“Who needs boys when you can have video games?” She replied, laughing slightly.

“Remy…” His father said, face turning serious again.

“I know, I know. I’ll stay out of trouble and send you an email everyday, you’ve told me a million times” A sigh escaped her lips and she rolled her eyes, she wasn't going to miss his over-protectiveness that was for sure.

“Ok, ok. Now give an old man a hug” She obeyed without a second thought, wrapping her arms around his neck. “I’m going to miss you” She whispered, tears filling her eyes.

“I’m going to miss you too” He said, giving her an encouraging squeeze before letting her go and allowing air to fill her lungs yet again. “Hurry now, you’re already late for class” He said, gesturing for her to leave.

She gave him one final hug before slipping out of the car, her pet rat Einstein hidden in her hoodie.

“Remy” Her dad called out and she turned to find him holding her books out of the window. “Aren't you forgetting something?” Remy gratefully took them before turning back towards the school.

“Remember to put Einstein in the cage as soon as you get to your dorm, ok? The teachers won't be too happy about you caring a rat into their classroom” He stated firmly.

“Bye Dad” She said simply, ignoring his request. Little did he know that she was going to take him everywhere with her. Even if it meant smuggling him into class. She could hear him chuckle softly, followed by a purr of the car engine.

After a quick trip to the principal’s office to get her locker number and timetable, Remy was bounding down the crowded halls to her locker- gracefully sweeping through the mob of students. Swiftly placing her books in her bag, and sticking her hand into her hoodie pocket to stroke Einstein, she turned on her heels and headed for Art.

So much happened in Business, but Lacey was too busy writibg to notice anything. Her phone buzzed and she pulled it out. It wad Jay. He tokd her that he wasn't coming to get her. Which was perfect. She was about to reply when the bell rang. She grabbed all her stuff and practically ran out of the room. She dreaded that class, but it was better than Math. She loathed math.

She went to her locket and put her textbook away. She closed the locker and then walked to art so that she could reply to Jay text. She got there and Rosa wad early and picking at her nails.

Her and Rosa weren't the best of friends, but they did talk and hung out sometimes. She took a seat next to her, placed her notebook on rhe table and looked at Rosa. "Why are you early? That's weird for you." I said in a slight laugh. Before I forgot I pulled out my phone.

To:Jay
From: Lacey
Well now I am in art. So any way i made plans for us and that meas you are with me all night! MWAHAHA. Unkess you don't want to, then i have to find someone else to do it with.

I sent the text and slipped my phone back into my pocket.

Dehlilah got up as the bellnrang and searched for Demi. When she couldn't find her she returned to Mike. "Babe, I'll meet you in art class," She gave him a peck on the lips before he could protest and walked off. She loved that they were back together but she was ditching Demi for him way too much. She easily walked through the halls. Waving at a few friends when she saw Demi. "C'mon Doll," She said looping they're arms as they walked to class.

She saw two seats dead smack in the middle of class and sat there. "Soo anyway," she began "Whats up with you and the new guy, what happened to your no boy's rule?" She asked. Then as Demi hesitate she gasped and poked out her lips "Are you inlove?" she asked winking.

Skyanna willingly stuck close to Jay. He was sweet and the only person she knew, so she didn't want to stray too far from his side. When she walked into the class, he paced slowed and her breath caught. She was not a people person. The class seemed focused, as if the teacher was demanding. Great. Another stuck up teacher who demands perfection. She had a teacher like that at her old school. Did not go over well.

Sky scooted in closer to Jay as subtly as she could. "So... What class is after this one Jay?" She tried to whisper in case the teacher was super strict.

Emmalynn Carter

“Emmalynn lets go, you are late and still not ready. I told you to pack last night.”

Emmy heard her mom yell from the bottom of the stairs, she knew she was late and that she should of packed last night but she was busy messing around with her music to really do packing.
She was getting dressed in the outfit she picked out for today.

“Almost ready mom, just getting dressed” she yelled as she put her shoes on, grabbing her ipod she put her headphones on, pushed play, then grabbed her bags and went downstairs.

“Can you ever be on time Emmalynn? her mom asked her as she grabbed one of the bags from Emmy and grabbed the car keys. Emmy followed her mom out to the car and put her bags in the backseat and got in the passenger side. “Let me think about that, I don’t think my brain knows how to be on time” she then burst out in laughter as her mom just shook her head. Emmy leaned her head back against the seat as she got comfortable for the hour long drive.

--------------------------------- An hour later----------------------------------

“Emmy wake up, we are here, come on wake up” she felt herself being shaken as she heard her mom. Opening her eyes she looked outside and saw the school, her home till next summer. She gave her mom a kiss on the cheek “Ill give you a call tonight mom, love you” she said as she opened the car door. “ Love you too sweetie, I also hope to not get as many calls from the principal like I did last year, try to be good okay?

Emmy nodded shutting the door then grabbed her bags from the back seat and went into the school. She looked around for a few minutes before she went to the office, getting her room key, she wondered who her roommate this year was going to be. The secretary told her she could leave her stuff that had to go to her room at the office and just head to art class.

Grabbing her backpack she headed to the art classroom. Noticing another girl with bright red hair, a little bit ahead of her. Quickly trying to catch up to the girl she tapped her on the shoulder “Hey are you new, don’t think I have seen you around here? I am Emmalynn Carter but you can call me Emmy, heading to art?” she asked as she walked on the right side of the girl.

Remy Hart

Remy jumped in fright as someone tapped her on the shoulder and she whipped around to face them. The source was a girl with more piercings then she could name, deep blue eyes staring into her's. She blushed at her own jumpiness, reminding herself to calm down.

She continued walking, the girl trailing on the right side of her. She listened closely to the girl's words, surveying her curiously. This was the first time in a long time that anyone had even noticed her and Remy didn't know what she should say. What if what she said offended Emmy? What if Emmy hated her? Remy gulped, feeling the pressure to reply bearing down on her.

"H-Hi.." She stuttered, stroking Einstein for comfort as she built up the courage to continue. "Y-yeah, I'm new. I'm Remy" She replied, giving the girl a small smile.

The last question stumped her and she realized that she couldn't actually remember what class she was walking to. Feeling her cheeks burn, Remy quickly plunged her hand into her jean pocket and picked out her timetable. Grimacing at how crumpled the piece of paper had become, Remy unfolded it and tried to straighten it on her thigh.

Squinting her eyes, her eyes glided over the page and she nodded-noticing that art was where she was heading. "Yeah...Are you in my class?" She wondered aloud, looking over at the girl.

Normally, Remy would have been intimidated by Emmy's appearance but she realized that Emmy seemed like a genuinely nice girl. She just hoped they could be friends and that Remy wouldn't mess it up by accidentally saying something wrong.

Emmalynn Carter

Emmy noticed how nervous and jumpy the girl was, she remembered being like that at her old school, but not here. Emmy was relaxed and felt good at this school and wanted others to feel comfortable here also.

Hearing the girl stutter as she first said something, Emmy just smiled to her but looked ahead. “H..Hi….Y-yeah, I'm new. I'm Remy"

“Are names rhyme! That’s awesome. It is nice to meet you Remy” she said in an enthusiastic voice, trying to get Remy to be more comfortable around her. She noticed Remy reach in her pocket getting out her timetable and then answered her “Yeah…Are you in my class”. Emmy nodded her head “Awesome you’re a junior, I am too, all juniors have the same class schedule. If you want, I can show to each class today. I know how it is to be new, I was new sophomore year.”

As they got to the art room she peaked through the window to see who was in there “Awesome, Rosa’s there, lets go in shall we?”. Before Remy could answer Emmy was taking Remy’s hand, opening the door and walking in with Remy behind her.

“Guess whose back! she said to everyone then looked to Mister Beirne. Mr. Beirne this is Remy, she is new and in this class” she said then without waiting to hear what the teacher said she was going to the back where Rosa and Lacey where sitting and took a seat on the other side of Rosa and patted the seat next to her for Remy.

“Come sit Remy, this is Rosa and Lacey. Girls this is Remy, she is new, so be nice” she said while taking off her backpack and putting it on the floor and grabbing a notepad and pencil. Putting the notepad and pencil on the desk, she looked to Rosa “Girl I have missed you, I got here late because I decided not to pack till today. How have you been?” she asked as she opened her notebook and wrote something down then passed the note to Rosa, giving her a little grin.Her handwriting was sometimes hard to read especially when she was writing fast, which this time she was. The note said:

Any parties happening anytime soon?

"Yeah, that'd be great!" Remy replied, her smile widening. She was growing a bit more used to Emmy's outgoing attitude and realized that Emmy was surprisingly easy to talk to.

Her smile quickly disappeared though, nervousness filling it's place as they neared the classroom. She could already imagine everyone watching 'the new kid'. She was about to stop and take a deep breath before entering but Emmy was pulling her through the door before she could resist.

She could instantly feel everyone's eyes on her, prickling her skin like needles. Emmy quickly introduced her to the teacher and Remy gave him a polite and respectful nod. She didn't get to see his reaction though as Emmy was already pulling her towards a nearby desk. She could see two other girl's there and judging by Emmy's enthusiastic expression she guess they were her friends.

She patted the chair next to her and Remy bit her lip, deciding wheither to intrude upon Emmy and her friends or not. "He-Hello. It's nice to meet you Rosa and Lacey" Remy said, nervously jumping from foot to foot.

"A-are you sure I can sit there?" She said, pointing towards the chair next to Emmy. "I-I would want to intrude upon you and your friends..." She added, giving each of them a smile.

She wanted to sit next to Emmy, who could very well become her very first friend, but didn't want to seem rude.

Lacey was about to put on her headphones and lose herself in Paramore, but then a familiar bubbly voice waltzed into the classroom. "Oh no." She said half smiling and half serious.

Emmy was her other best friend practically, but she was crazy. But so was Lacey. They were pretty much the terrible twosome when they wanted to be. Emmy introduced them to a girl named Remy who seemed really shy. Luckily Demi wasn't here to make fun of her or claim her soul.

"Yea Go ahead ad sit Remy we don't bite often." Lacey said that with a giggle and a smile. Lacey was born with fangs, but they weren't noticeable unless you were staring at her teeth. She always welcomed shy people like that because it seemed to freak them out.

Emmy started a convo with Rosa so Lacey looked at Rosa ad devided to make a new friend which was rare. "So how did you end up here?"

Dehlilah has ditched Mike before he could protest. She left a kiss lingering on his lips and just walked out. He sighed and left soon after her. He needed someone to talk to and he didn't feel like talking to the socce team so he took put his phone to text Darcy. He looked up an saw Darcy by the art room. He put his phone away and walked over to her.

"Hey Darce. What's up?" He hadn't talk to her all day so he felt Darcy deprived. He usually talk to her when he was alone, but that is rare since him and Dehlilah are joined at the hip. He leaned on the wall and waotwd for her answer.

Rosalynd Sorbie
Lacey took the seat next to Rosa, causing her to stop picking at her nail polish and smile at the girl. Her and Lacey weren't crazy close or anything but she was always good company. "I know right, it's like the moons all aligned," Rosa said sarcastically smiling at Lacey, making hand motions to represent the moons aligning.

"Here comes trouble," Rosa called out as Ems made her presence known. That girl could make an entrance that's for sure, her arrival brought a grin to Rosa's face. Ems, full name was Emmalynn and most people called her Emmy, but for Rosa Ems seemed to just stick. She was dragging along a redhead behind her though and Rosa had stop herself from letting out a groan. Ems always had to stick up for the shy ones, or the ones who didn't stand up for themselves. Rosa honestly didn't get it, but she let Em do what she wanted, just so long as she didn't expect Rosa to act the same.

Ems introduced the shy new girl as Remy, and the girl managed to get a nervous greeting. Rosa didn't say anything though, she gave Remy a once over, taking in her nervousness and bad fashion choices. Sighing Rosa gave the girl a small sarcastic wave before turning to Ems, raising her eyebrows and giving her friend a 'seriously' look. "Of course you were late Ems, did you bother to think about what I've been going through with you not being here and all," Rosa said sarcastically rolling her eyes. "I've been alright, usual shit, Demi thinking she own the world and whatnot. You? Did your mum give you shit about being better behaved this year?" It was no secret to the whole school that Rosa and Ems had many more than their fair share of trips to the principals office.

Ems then passed her a note giving her a small grin, Rosa was pretty sure she knew what to expect though. Of course, other messily scrawled handwriting, cause well, Ems didn't have the neatest handwriting. Rosa had learned to adapt though and so she was pretty good at reading Ems writing. Smiling Rosa wrote a quick reply on the back of Ems note before passing it back to her.

I heard there's one on tonight off campus. I also heard it's not going be much of a party though, so I wan't going to go.

Remy could see one of the girls give her a sarcastic wave but she wasn't put off by it, used to such reactions from others. "Ok..." Remy said, a little unnerved by who she guessed was Lacey's comment.

She hesitantly took a seat next to Emmy, her hand once again going to stroke Einstein's fur. She digested Lacey's question, mulling it over in her head. She debated whether to lie or not but realised that she was horrible at lying, leaving her with only one choice.

"Err..M-my Dad found me really drunk one time..." She said truthfully, her father's disappointed expression flashing through her head. "Sent me here as punishment" She continued, shrugging.

She didn't really think it was a fair punishment seeing as all she did was have a few drinks but would never say that to her father's face. Taking a deep breath, she realized that this was the most she had ever said to anyone but her family in a day.

"How about you?" She asked, suddenly curious as to what had caused Lacey to come here.

Just as Demi was heading towards her next class, a familiar grip held her arm and soon she realized she was linked arm in arm with her best friend. "Soo anyway," Dehlilah began. Demi wasn't sure if her best friend was feeling guilty for ditching her but she was glad the girl made time for her. "Whats up with you and the new guy, what happened to your no boy's rule?"

She faked a gasped but then rolled her eyes and said, "No boys? Who made that rule?" She giggled and continued, "Besides I was just being nice to the new guy. He was kind of cute but when I realized that he'd prefer hanging out with the other girls I kind of got tired of him." She then shrugged.

"Are you inlove?" Demi heard one of the craziest things she has heard from Dee.

"What?" Her eyes grew rounder and bigger, "No!" She frowned and continued, "Dee! Of all people, you should know I don't fall in love that easily. That is just so wrong." She pointed out and started arranging her things again.

"Really, I'm not some stupid girl who falls in love with any guy who pass by. I'm not like you Dee, I'm- Oh my god! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it that way!" Just as soon as she realized her words, it was too late. Demi had blurted words that could have hurt anyone's feelings. "I am soooo sorry. I didn't mean it- I- I was just-" She tried to clean up her mess but she kept on stuttering. She wanted to punch herself in the face. She knew how sensitive Dehlilah could be when it comes to her relationships.

Demi might just be losing her best friend.

Jacob Preston
"Umm, art I think," Jay whispered back, though he had no clue he was just assuming, and after thinking for a moments he corrected him self. "No, I think we have maths. Don't quote me on that though." Looking away from Sky he found himself looking into the cold eyes that only a teacher who had been in the business far too long could possess. "Class, I'm implementing a seating plan, alphabetical order. Arrange yourselves now, A's start here, Z's over there, up the back. Go." She said causing an almost unanimous groan out of the whole class.

Miss D was a good teacher, Jay would give her that, but something told him she'd be much more suited to the younger year levels. They were Senior's for god sake, not ten year olds. No one would actually have the guts to stand up and say that to her face though, so everyone grabbed their stuff and moved to where they were supposed to be. "Sorry, Sky, you're going to have to spread your wings and fly," Jay said with a regretful smile to Sky, before giving her a friendly wink and moving to where everyone with P last names had begun gathering.

Jay couldn't help but smile though as he ended up positioned in the row behind Sky, directly behind her and another blonde who must have been new. Jay bit his togue and didn't say anything to her though, waiting for the right opportunity. "Class we have two new students today, Skyanna Houston and Evangeline Hazelwood," Miss D said, motioning to Sky and the girl next to her. After that though Jay tuned out, she continued on with her speil about the importance of english in today's society and whatnot but he stopped caring. He pulled out his phone and begin typing a reply to Lacey who had texted him early while everyone was moving into alphabetical order. Jay had no problem being open and honest with Lacey, if he couldn't be honest with his best friend who could he be honest with?

To: Lacey
From: Jay
Oh thanks by the way for checking with me first. What plans? I may have said I'd hang out with Cara for a little tonight, but before i make any rash decisions I want to hear what my options are.

"Looks like someone just can't get enough of me," Jay said to Sky after a few minutes, before looking over to the attractive blonde who must have been the other new girl, Evangeline. "Hey I'm Jay, always good to see a fresh face," He said introducing himself, his usual, good-natured smile ever present.

Eve's stomach flipped as the teacher called her name, she felt her cheek start to red. She pushed it back and took a deep breath giving a slight wave to everyone that glanced over. She took her seat next to Sky, before she could say anything Jay started talking to them. She met his eyes flashing him an equally friendly smile in return. "Nice to meet you you can just call me Eve if you want." She glanced up at the teacher who was busy writing a novel on the board. "Is she always this..um..focused?" Eve tilted her head towards Miss Dolan. She stifled a n.smirk when Jay just nodded a yes to her question.

She looked Sky over with the same friendly smile as she had given Jay. "So do you prefer Sky or Anna?"

Lacey smiled when Remy said she was sent here because she got drunk. "Sounds like it was a wild night." She joked with her. She thought aboth the answer to Remy's question to her. "I have no idea actually. My parents said it would be good for me." Lacey shrugged since her family always believed they were doing something that was suppose to be good for her. Her phone buzzed and she pulled it out. She read the text from Jay and almost jumped out of her seat.

To:Jay
From: Lacey
It sounds like you planned a date with Cara! But about my idea. I stole some food from the canteen so that we could have a pinic in the stars so I don't have to see my room mate right away. Unless you'd skip out to hang with Cara. What are you gonna do with her anyway?

Lacey sent the message and slipped her phone into her pocket. She loiked back at Remy. "Sorry. Texting my best friend." She leaned back in the chair and crossef her arms. "Are you good at art?" Lacey wasn't, but she liked watching others.

Sorry it double posted

Dehlilah listened to Demi deny her feelings for the new boy and love.
"What?" Demi said with wide eyes, "No!" She frowned and continued, "Dee! Of all people, you should know I don't fall in love that easily. That is just so wrong." She pointed out and started arranging her things again. She shrugged and rolled her eyes but continued listening.
"Really, I'm not some stupid girl who falls in love with any guy who pass by. I'm not like you Dee, I'm- Oh my god! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it that way!" Demi said "I am soooo sorry. I didn't mean it- I- I was just-"

Dehlilah scoffed. "Wow Demi, so I'm just a slut right?" She hissed. She got up and grabbed her stuff, "I'm gonna go sit somewhere else, where my slutty aura won't get on you."She rolled her eyes and walked over to the window. She flipped her hair and put her stuff in the back of the room. She set up her paints and supplies. Just when she needed Mike he wasn't there. She frowned and pouted in the back of the room.

"This is bull shit," She said storming out of the classroom. She felt her head spinning and felt super annoyed at the same time. As she walked to the bathroom she saw her friend Daniella. She knew Daniella since freshman year and she could always get whatever she needed from her.
"Hey Daniella do you have any .." She said imitating rolling and smoking a joint. Daniella gave her a knowing smile and passed her one from the stash in her purse. She smiled and after having Daniella light it she took a puff.

Once the mellow feeling set in she sprayed herself with perfume and walked back to class.

The ever-present smile was there on Cara's face as she walked into the art classroom. This was her favorite subject, the thing she was actually good at. The class that was never boring, the class she never dreaded. Art was something she could actually see herself doing after graduation. Cara picked a seat and sat down in the classroom, ready for class to start. Her phone buzzed and she pulled it out of her pocket, knowing the text would be from Jay.

To: Jay
From: Cara
Okay (: What time were you thinking?
Totally agree. Not only do they have big personalities, they all clash with one another. Let the drama begin.
Awesome! It's always great to make a new friend, I'll definitely have to meet her (:

Cara hit the send button, put her phone back in her pocket, and then focused her attention back on the teacher.

Darcy was about to walk into the classroom, when she noticed Mike walk over. Her heart flipped but she played it casual, giving him a friendly smile.
"Hey Darce. What's up?" he asked, leaning against the wall, as he put his phone away. She smiled, making room for someoen who was walking into art

"Nothing, just the usual. You know, school," she shrugged, almost like it was sarcastic.
"So, who were you texting? It was Dehlilah, wasn't it? It's the only thing that makes sense, since you too seem to be stuck to each other," she teased, nudging him. "I'm her room mate, you know."


[sorry for not replying earlier, guys, school sucks *le wail*]

Skyanna giggled at Jay and then smiled to the other new girl. "Eve is pretty. And most people call me Sky." She was so glad to be making friends so quickly. "So what kind of stuff are you into?" She asked the new girl. She waited for her answer, then replied "I love music and art. Being me, ya know?"

Everyone seemed so nice here. Maybe she would find some true friends here. She had never really had real friends. She had only know girls and guys in her "clique" of people who didnt really talk to each other. She loved all of this, the nice people, the cute guys, and girls, and even the teachers, well sorta.

She looked up at the time, then back to Jay. "When is this class over?"

Demi started panicking, she knew she was often careless about her words but she knew she had crossed the border this time.

"Wow Demi, so I'm just a slut right?" Dee instantly hissed and proceeded to head towards another direction with her stuff, "I'm gonna go sit somewhere else, where my slutty aura won't get on you."

"No! Dee I didn't mean it to sound that way-" Demi tried defending her actions but her best friend just wouldn't listen. She wanted to mess with her immaculately perfect ponytail but decided to just crumple the piece of paper in her hands as she watched Dehlilah storm out of the room without asking the teacher for an excuse. And exactly five seconds after, she went towards their Art Teacher, Mr. Beirne and tried to come up with an excuse for Dee's walk out. "Ummm- I'm sorry about that Mr. Beirne, sir. Dehlilah just seems to be suffering from cramps that she had to rush towards the nurse. Is it okay if I go and follow her?" Demi tried to act nonchalant and did her best to convince the art teacher. And since he was a generally nice guy he nodded and gave a hall pass to Demi. She quickly darted out of the room and took the pursuit after her best friend.

"Dee!" She whispered and hoped that Dehlilah heard her. But there was no sign of the tall blonde. "Dee!" She tip toed and searched a few empty classrooms. She turned left and looked around. Still no Dehlilah just then she saw two familiar people hanging by the classrooms. It was Mike leaning by a wall and looked like he was flirting with Darcy. She took a step but soon retreated back, Dee needs to see this for her self.

She walked back to the classroom and found Dehlilah already sitting in class, looking calmer but definitely had a weed buzz in her. She smiled at the teacher and announced, "Mr. Beirne! I- uh- the nurse wanted to call Ms. Dane back into the clinic! She- uh- asked me to fetch her again because she needed to give her a pain killer." She then walked towards Dehlilah and pulled her gently by the elbow. "Come on Dehlilah, Nurse Joy wouldn't want us making her wait." She turned her bulging eyes towards Dee and was hoping the girl would come with her. She then slowly mouthed two names, Mike and Darcy.

"Well okay Ms. Collins, here you go Ms. Dane. But be sure to come back to the room at once okay? I have a great lesson for this week," The teacher smiled at them, still innocent of what the two girls are up to.

She reached for Dee's hall pass while she clutched hers and literally dragged her best friend out of the classroom. "Come on!" She whispered hastily. She'd worry about their misunderstanding much much later. Dee needs to see how the Darcy girl is flirting with Mike right now.

Tyler walked in to the class just as soon as Demi Collins and Dehlilah Dane exited in a rush, they bumped into his left shoulder but never bothered to apologize. He shrugged and walked back in. Mr. Beirne wasn't the type who'd punish a student for their tardiness which is why he is one of Tyler's favorite. He scanned the room for a seat just after the teacher nodded at his presence and pointed at the empty seats.

And Tyler wasn't sure if he was in luck but Cara Williams was in the same class. He decided to walk towards her and instantly took the seat next to her. He dropped his rugged backpack on the floor and sunk in his seat then without thinking twice he started staring at her as she dumped her phone back to her pocket.

"Hi," he suddenly spoke towards Cara, not caring if the other girls turned their heads towards him and hoped it was them he was talking to. He then returned his gaze to the teacher and half listened to what he was explaining. He tried his best to hide his smile and stayed quiet.
