6The Diary of a Confused 9th Grader
By WaterFaerie242
Dear Diary:
I just got this Damn thing this Morning, because for some twisted and confused reason, my birthday is on September 5th today, the first fuckin day of school. Since I have this fucked up thing I may as well use it. Since I don't really know what to write in this damn thing, I will just tell about what happens at school. I guess since this is a diary I should like put my name in it. Right? Well I'm Athena Gecko. I know I know Its odd, probably shouldn't even be a last name, Gecko. I mean what kind of fucked up name is that? Anyway back to the first day of school. I am going to high school now, and I don't know anyone here, considering the fact that this a damn boarding school. Don't get me wrong, I wanted to come here, but that was before my grandad was working here. Its like a twist of fate. The reason I wanted to come is so that I could get AWAY from my freakish family. Which just goes to say, it didn't work. Time to go back to the first day.
"So which way do I go to get to the Star building again?" I was so worried about going to this school, so I kept asking the hot seniors how to get places.
"Ok" this guy said with a heart stopping smile. "Make a right, Then a left, then go straight until you see the Music building. Then make another left and there you are."
" Oh thanks a lot. You've helped a lot..." I trailed off realizing I didn't know his name.
"Chris. Your welcome...um..."
"Athena, I'm Athena." Then I realized I was blushing furiously, but what the hell. He was a total HOTTIE. I knew I would never score a date with him. Its not that I am a dog or anything, its just that I am not that pretty. Well I am Asian and I do have the beautiful long waist length black hair, and all but that's my best feature. Also I have great fashion sense. Like today I was wearing my black and pink mini skirt with a black top and some flip-flops.
"Well bye! I'll see you again sometime Chris" Then I walked towards The Star building. I found my way there and was just on time for my class. Astrology and Star mapping, I walked in and the principal was waiting inside, and after the last few people walked in he said.
"Mrs. Papageorgios was unable to teach this year, so the new teacher will be Mr. Gecko. Mr. Gecko please come and introduce yourself to the class." I froze in my seat the second he said Gecko, then I looked down at the teacher and saw it was my grandad.
"Oh shit." I muttered to myself, a few people heard and graced me with reproachful looks. "Sorry, but if your grandad was teaching your class you would probably curse too." Then the looks softened into pity and a few people muttered about how sorry they felt for me.
"I think I see a familiar face in the crowd." My grandad said while beaming at me. I gave him a half hearted wave. Then he said." I would like to Introduce my lovely granddaughter Athena Gecko. Athena Stand up!" I shook my head and sunk down lower in my seat as a few people giggled at me. I mean come on people! Where is your decency? How rude can you be, a girl is being publicly humiliated my her granddad and you laugh? Ughhh what has this world come to?
Well that's basically how the day went except for I actually made friends. I met Isis, Chris (again), and Midnight. Isis was in my Astrology class and was one of the people who didn't laugh at my predicament, then at lunch she introduced me to Cameron and Midnight. Then when Chris came over she told how she and Chris had known each other since 2nd grade, and surprised me when she said that he is in our grade, just in all honors classes except for science. Then told me after comparing schedules that all of us have science together.
The lunch conversation went like this.
"Athena, did you know your grandpa was the astrology teacher?"
"No, but I wish I had, because if I had known I would have switched to a different 1st block class. Yet im glad I didn't because I wouldn't have met all of you." I smiled as I said that last part. Then asked suddenly. "Do you know where the Drama Building is?"
"Yeah" they chorused tiredly, almost as if hundreds of people had asked.
"Good, so can you point it out so I can steer clear of it?" They looked at me as if in shock.
"Why?"
" Because if I know where it is I wont see my grandma. My grandad never goes anywhere without her, so she probably has a job in here."
They all started laughing hysterically.
"HEY. I'm Serious here!" I yelled. They stopped laughing.
"Ok but no one works there anymore. Especially since that kid was murdered in there around 7 years ago." Isis said solemnly
"Really? What happened"
"Oh, the basic raped and murder of a student by a teacher. Some people say that the dead student now roams the halls of that building." Isis shrugged and went on. "That second part is definitely not true. I've been inside that building so many times" Then Chris stopped her and corrected her.
"Before the murder, you stupid little bitch." Isis looked at him in mock hatred.
"How dare you call me a bitch!" Then she punched him in the gut. While Midnight and I looked on amused.
"Hey Midnight, don't you think those two would make a cute little couple? I mean they get along so well."
"You are so right, I could see them holding hands, and making out on street corners."
"Awwwwww. They would just be so cute" We said in unison. Chris and Isis looked at us like we were insane.
"We tried that summer of 8th grade." Isis said tartly. " But it didn't work out."
Midnight and I tried to stifle our giggles. We were picturing Isis, with her black with purple streaked hair, belly-button ring and 3 pairs of earrings, mostly back wearing Isis. Dating adorable, cute shaggy haircut preppie boy Chris. We really couldn't do that, so we giggled at them instead.
"What? I was kidding, god! You both can tell that Chris. No offense Chris. Is so not my type." She pointed at a hot looking gothic kid a few tables away from us. "That is my type." she bit her nail when he waved at her. Looked again then waved back, giving him a half smile.
"Damn Isis, who is that fine lookin man." I said while looking at him as he got up and walked around to toss some trash out.
"This is my punishment for not joining the football team." Chris said looking scared. "I am stuck with three horny girls in black, who happen to be guy searching."
"1, Chris, we are not horny. Two, we are observing guys, ok. But that boy can eat me for lunch any day."
Chris groaned and escaped to the library, saying he would talk 2o us 3rd block.
"Athena, I think you scared poor little Chris away."
"Well Isis, its true, right? You'd rather him be here than Chris, or have both. over here to talk to."
"Yeah your right" she smiled a little.
I got up and made my way over to the gothic kids table, only pausing to compose myself for talking to hotness.
" Hi I'm Athena" I smiled at him being friendly. " My friends and I noticed you sitting here alone. So we thought you would join us."
"Hey, the names Scott." he paused briefly. "It depends on who you are sitting with."
"I'm sitting with Midnight and Isis, and Chris too, but he left."
"Cool. Which table is it?"
"That one over there." I pointed to the table we were sitting at. "Well. Come on."
"You are a pushy one you know that?"
"Yeah I do, but then again its all part of my charm." I grinned impishly and walked away with Scott on my tail.
"Ok, Isis, Midnight this is Scott. And Scott, Vice versa"
"Hey" He sat down. " How's it goin?"
"Good" Isis and Midnight said their voices giving off rays of love and adoration for Scott.
Then the bell rang.
"Scott. You sittin with us tomorrow"
"Sure Athena"
"See you then."
"Ok, bye" he walked away into the crowd of people.
In the meantime, Isis and Midnight started breathing again.
"He's so cute. How did you do it. I mean how did you just walk up to him and ask if he wanted to sit with us?" Isis practically yelled.
"Well lets see, I made him laugh, was sarcastic and basically was not having adoration rolling off of me. Well not visible adoration" I retorted giving Isis and Midnight meaningful looks.
"Well fuck you. He's a total hottie. You are so lucky you got the chance to talk with a GOD." When I laughed at this she glared at me, her glare looked so evil. Needless to say I stopped laughing.
"Any way, do you guys have roommates?"
"No" Isis said.
"Yes" Midnight said.
"Really? Midnight, whose your roommate?"
"Well the chick moved in but I haven't seen her, she's got a lot of clothes though. If you find out who it is before I do, I'm in room 202 Sapling Dorm."
"Really, room 202 you say?"
"Yes"
"That's my room! Sapling dorm! I'm your roommate Midnight." We giggled at the irony. I looked over at Isis who just looked sad and left out. "Isis you know we've got room for one more in our dorm." She gave a happy simile and said.
"When should I move in?"
That's all for now Diary! I will write tomorrow!
