CHAPTER ONE

      So here I am in sunny California at my new school.  I’m Spencer Carlin and I just moved here from Ohio with my parents and two brothers.  As I look around this huge campus, I can’t help but feel overwhelmed by it all.  I look out into the sea of people and fell like any minute now I am going to be swallowed whole.

 "Spencer, come on you’re going to be late!"  That’s my brother Clay.  He is pretty great and one of my best friends.  I push my fears aside and head into the madness of King High.  As I am walking to my locker I manage to loose Clay in the crowd.  My other brother, Glen, is somewhere around here trying out his charm on the ladies.  And it just might work except he doesn’t have any.  Oh well he will learn sooner or later.

 Anyway, I finally manage to find my locker.  I begin to put some of my books away.  However, being the klutz that I am I drop half of my books.  As I am picking them up I hear a group of girls walking toward me. I look up and that’s when I see the most beautiful creature God has ever created.  I can see she has an amazing smile as she laughs along with her freinds.  Her bruntte curls fall down around her shoulders and lightly bounce as she walks.  I have watched her for ten seconds and I already love the way she moves.  She has so much grace and confidence.  I remain in a trance and can’t take my eyes away from the brown-eyed beauty before me.  When the girls walk by me, they all look at me and they know I am the newbie around ehre.  Her eyes meet mine and my stomach is doing flips backwards and forwards. I watch her walk away and I am so captivated by her I don’t hear the tardy bell ring for first period.  However, I am soon interrupted by an annoying high pitched voice. "Excuse me, young lady".

 I look up and see an old woman with lipstick on her teeth and whose panty hose have fallen down around each ankle. Yuck! I quickly finish picking up my books so I don’t have to stare at those hairy ankles any more. Excuse me while I shudder. "Where are you suppose to be?" the old woman asks.  "Sorry, I’m new and I was just putting my books away, I guess I didn’t hear the tardy bell ring." "Well I’ll cut you some slack this time, but from now on I expect you to be in class on time." "Yes ma’am." I grab my books for my first class and make my way across campus, with the thoughts of the gorgeous brunette still in the front of my mind.
