Jasmine Vazquez's Story

It's a new day at Hollywood High School. The staff is getting prepared to teach their students and the students are preparing to face something more difficult than hollywood itself: High School. But not just any high school. See an anybody can get into high school. You just sign up, in fact you have to. But see here at HHS, you had to be special to get in, and even that won't help you fit in. Here at least half the student body is rich, tan, and fit. To survive here you have to have it, whatever that might be.

It's homecoming week at Hollywood High. A week that isolates the lonely and applauds the popular. Today it's twin day, the only day you can wear the same outfit without a showdown. You'll also be nominating your homecoming Prince and Princess. Will it be the Queen Bee or our reigning rule breaking Prom Queen? Don't forget your ballots!

On a related note... Homecoming tickets are on sale at lunch this whole week. And you can buy a devilishly tasty candy apple from our delicious devil girls.

Nibbling on a piece of bacon she checked the time on her phone. 5:33 am she mumbled the time to herself as she looked up at her grandparents who were having a conversation that she had tuned out of long ago. "I've got to go." Mikaela stated as she up from the table and walked around the table over to where her grandmother sat."My bus comes at five-forty-five and it's like a ten minute walk to the bus stop." Her words came out in a rush as she planted a kiss on her grandmother's kiss and than her grandfather's. "I'll be home after work!" She yelled as she ran out the dining room leaving her breakfast and her grandparents behind her.

Her puppy Moshi trailed behind her as she grabbed her bag that sat in front of the front door. As she strapped her bag to her bag she bent down and ran her hands over the white fur ball for a couple of seconds before raising to her feet. "I'll see you later Moshi." The dog barked at the mention of his name and Mikaela couldn't help but smile as she left her grandparent's house. As she locked the door behind her she got her i-touch out of bag front pocket. Putting in her ear buds she started the ten minute walk to the bus stopped. In order to get to Hollywood High every morning for school she would have to take two buses unless one of her grandparents decided to drive her. By bus, it was an hour and a half journey to the school, one which she mostly slept through while riding the bus. After working until nine-thirty the day before than going home to do her homework her naps on the bus were a godsend.

"Stop it! Stop! Ouch - oh my god Austin if you don't stop I am going to bitch slap the hell out of you!" Austin snickered as he gave Jasmine one last bop with the pillow before stepping down off her bed. "Well if you'd get up I wouldn't have to assault." He said matter-of-factly with a sly grin. Rolling her brown eyes she peeked at him from underneath her comforter. "You look like the American flag.", she said analyzing his clothing, "Givenchy?" she asked tiredly. Falling back into the bed he used Jasmine's body as a pillow laying his head on her hip, "You know your clothes." Fighting the urge to go back to sleep Jasmine spoke, "So, what's with the early wake up call?" She spoke as she shifted under the weight of Austin's head getting more comfortable. "IHOP. I woke up this morning with a craving for it and figured we'd could go get breakfast before school." Jasmine gave a small chuckle, "IHOP huh? So what happened to that diet you were suppose to be on?" A small grin spread across his face. "The diet. Umm ... am starting that next week. Definitely next week." As they shared a look the two both started laughing as they both knew Austin's diet would never be a healthy one. "Alright well lucky for you I've already got my outfit ready. Thank you Alaia." Austin sat up so Jasmine could crawl out of bed. "Oh right today's twin day." He said loud enough that she could hear him from her closet. "Yup and for today Alaia Carter is my twin." she spoke as she came from her closet with her outfit in hand. Setting her stuff on her bed she began walking to her bathroom, "I'll be ready in no time."
.....

"Alright am ready to go." Jasmine said as she re-entered her bedroom fully dressed and ready to get going. "What time is it now?" Austin checked the time in the top corner of the Jasmine's macbook screen, "Six-seventeen." He said as he clicked the shutdown button and got up off the bed. "God, am starving." Jasmine laughed, "Austin your always starving." Austin shrugged in response, "What? Am a growing boy you know." Jasmine just rolled her eyes as she got her Alexander McQueen book bag up off the floor, "Yeah, okay. Let's get out of here before I change my mind and get back in my bed."

It wasn't a long drive from Jasmine's house to the school, and the IHOP was located right across the street. Which was perfect because in the time it took from them to drive to the restaurant, get seated in the booth and ordered their food they had a full half an hour to eat their breakfast before they had to be to school. Jasmine ordered herself the strawberry banana french toast with a splashberry splasher and Austin got the country fried steak with scrambled eggs and a vanilla milkshake. Throughout breakfast they talked about random stuff while multitasking as Jasmine interacted with her jasminators over twitter.

As her food was placed in front of her Jasmine took a picture of it and posted it on her instragram and twitter with the caption IHOP Tuesday with @AustinMcBroom. "God, this looks amazing." She said putting the phone down beside her plate and picking up her eating utensils. "I bet your glad you got out of bed now." Austin said sliding his phone out of his pocket and taking a picture of Jasmine as she started cutting up her french toast. His posted the picture to his Facebook, instragram and twitter pages before setting his phone down and picking up his fork.

The were more than half way through their breakfast when they suddenly heard "Oh my god is that Jasmine V?" Before either one of them could turn to face the familiar voice Jasmine was practically tackled by Alaia. "Where did you even come from?" Jasmine managed to ask through her laughter as she hugged her twin of the day. As the hug broke Alaia slid out the booth to plant a kiss on Austin's cheek before sitting back down next to Jasmine. "So my dad's new assistant" she began as she stole a piece of his food off the plate. "I call her big eyes little face. Anyway she woke me up this morning and I was wearing your shorts." He looked at her with a raise brow, "My shorts ..." Stealing a second piece of food off his plate she explained, "Just your shorts and a bra." Jasmine shrugged "Sounds like your normal sleeping attire." She said picking up her glass and sipping out the remaining liquid. "Pretty much." Austin said as he sat down his empty milkshake. There was a ton of Austin's stuff at Alaia's house. Some things he had left their either accidentally or on purpose and most of it were things Alaia stole that he never realized was making until he found her with it.

"Shit Uriah's at my house!" Alaia blurted out suddenly. Giving Jasmine another hug she got up out of the booth and planted a second kiss on Austin, this one on the corner of his mouth. "See you later than." Jasmine yelled as Alaia disappeared as quickly as she came. Tapping the button on her phone the time came up on the screen, "Seven-twenty." Austin nodded as he popped the last piece of steak in his mouth, "Waiter! Bill!" Jasmine pouted as she put her hands to her stomach, "Am stuffed." Austin laughed, "Yeah IHOP will do that to ya." He said as the waiter came with their bill. Paying for their breakfast he gave the waiter a $20 tip and slid out the booth. Jasmine rose slowly as her big breakfast was making her feel somewhat sluggish."Carry me.", she said hopping onto to his back without warning. Austin didn't protest as he laughed picking up their phones he handed Jasmine hers and put his in his pocket before grabbing the two book bags and Jasmine's purse. "Alright, let's get to school." he said with a sigh as he really wished he was leaving to go home and not to a place of learning.

Crossing the street to the school once they entered the building Jasmine got down off of Austin's back. "Thanks for the lift buddy." she said taking her bags from Austin. "Anytime buddy." he said with a chuckle as he noticed Nathaniel leaning against his locker down the hall. "Hey Nate's here. You wanna -" Jasmine cut him off, "Talk to you later." she said giving him a peck on the cheek as she turned and walked away to go to her own locker. Austin sighed as Jasmine left him standing alone in the hallway. He hadn't asked her to ice Nathaniel out. In fact, he was doing his best to convince her everything was okay so she would stop giving Nathaniel the cold shoulder. He wasn't willing to lose a friend over Amethyst and he didn't Jasmine should either. With a shrug he walked down the hall over to his best friend "What's up Nate." he said as he began putting his locker combination in the locker next to Nathaniel's.
