- Chapter 2 -
'Bbbuuuuuuzzzzzzzzzz!!!!'
I roll over to the other side of my bed and reach out to de-activate my alarm clock. I stare at my ceiling for a moment, absorbing the recent events, trying to wake myself up more.
Billie Joe, Tre and Mike from the band Green Day greet me in a lot of different directions. On the left side are more posters of Incubus, The Ramones, The Clash & so many other bands I absolutely adore.
But the kind of music I really love listening to are those by the underground bands. The independent bands. The bands that don't care about making it big, they only care about the Music; which is the reason why they're in a band in the first place. I've noticed that so many bands I used to like are suddenly conforming to the demands of today's society, after years and years of going against it. It's sad to watch really.
I heaved a sigh and was about to start mourning for today's generation until a sudden thought, rather, a sudden person came into my mind. Johhny has a band.. and with mild suprise, I found that I smiled to myself immediately.
Johnny and I have kept in touch the whole summer, online of course. We both have SO much in common.. It's slightly scary you know? I mean, how often do you find someone who loves all the things you do too? Suprisingly enough, we have never ran out of things to talk about yet. There's something about er... the way he types (?) lol. I'm not making sense. I mean, there's something about him.. It makes me want to reveal to him all my secrets.. all my fears and insecurities. I don't understand why, I really don't, but I just feel like he'd understand. I bet I know what you're thinking. Am I, Jenna the angsty artist hiding everything from the world, falling in love with Johnny a.k.a j_greene? Maybe. I don't know. I think about him a lot and all, but I'm just not .. THERE yet. I'm not stupid you know. I mean, how far can an relationship online go? Not so far, from what I've been told. If I was with a guy who was that.. cool and awesome and all, I'd probably kill myself from being so physically far from him. Even if we do live in the same state. At least I can just engage in a really great, two-way conversation plainly for our entertainment.
Today is the first day of school here in San Francisco. I moved here from Washington and I will be going to this school called Westmount High. It's weird, believe me, I KNOW. Ok, stop. Let's not badmouth the school before we even set foot in it. Let's give it a chance. Okay, breathe. I'll be fine. I mean I'm sure I'll be able to find "my" kind of people. I did in my old school. Oh man.. I miss them already. Okay stop! Now is not the time to get teary! You're putting your eye liner! Okay, that's better. Where was I? Oh yeah, left eye. Just a bit more green-
"JENNA! Get your ass down here!!!!"
"I'M COMING! Jeez!!!"
I rush down only to crash into my brother, who's going to be a junior this year. No time for breakfast I suppose? That bacon smells really good...
"And don't even THINK about grabbing some breakfast!! If we don't leave now we'll be late!!"
Well so much for breakfast. Hmph.
"I got you a granola bar though, it's in my pocket."
I look down and check my brother's pants. Which pocket? There are about a million pockets and zippers on his very low-waisted olive green cargo pants. At least I know he's on my side of the border, I LOVE his clothes. He almost makes me wish I was a man instead. lol.
"Aww, thanks Dave. Let's go! We're gonna be late remember? BYE MOM!!"
Dave just rolled his eyes, grabbed the car keys, mumbled a goodbye to his mom and followed Jenna into their car.
Breathe! This is gonna be fine. Johnny said everything would fall into place. Oh god, he better be right. I continued to comfort myself up until we parked into my NEW school's parking lot.
"C'mon Jenna, let's get this over with."
Okay.. this is it. I walked up the steps full of hope and self-esteem, which were only going to be crushed once I entered the school.
