Episode One.
So
yesterday.
No, no, no!
This so cannot be happening. I am not leaving school before my TTY (This
Time Year) even begins. I should probably explain. You see, my name’s Megan
Crawford and this year was meant to be my This Time Year. Basically, that means
that it’s a year where I do everything I had always dismissed as “maybe next
time” or, “it’s too scary” etc. You get the point. This was going to be my big
year. I already had everything set-new wardrobe, new makeup, captain of the
school cheerleading team, it seemed like I had planned for every possible
obstacle. Every possible obstacle that is, except for my parents deciding to
move me.
“No, dad I’m not moving!” I
yelled as I angrily slammed a fist onto the kitchen table. “This is crazy! What
about my friends? What about the life that I’ve built for myself at school?
It’s all going to dissolve into a big puddle of nothing!”
“Calm down, Ginger. I’m sure you’ll make new
friends in Vienna High.”
“No dad, you don’t understand.”
“Ginger, I understand perfectly fine.”
“No you don’t! You never do! You never get me
at all!”
“Honey I
get you, I do, but this is for everyone’s best interest!”
“Everyone’s? Or just yours, dad?”
“Now Ginge, that isn’t fair. I have been
waiting for this job for years!”
“I know dad, but do you seriously have to
uproot all of us just for your job?”
“I have no choice, Ginger!”
“Stop calling me that!”
“Look, Megan…we have no choice. We’re in bad
financial shape. The down payment for this
job is enough to put you through university and college!”
“Fine, whatever. You guys always just ruin my life!”
With that,
I turned on my heel and fled the room. I mean, I’m pretty sure that dad’s
right. His new job as a football coach pays a whopping $1 mil every game he
wins and $400k every game he doesn’t. But this isn’t fair! I had everything planned out to the very last detail! Ugh! I
slammed my room door and here I am, scribbling furiously into my black leather
journal. I hate fighting with my parents but this is absurd! I gathered my
sling bag, grabbed my wallet and scribbled a note for dad, “Going to get DVDs,
be back later.” Then I slammed the front door shut behind me, plugged in my
earphones and began the jog to the store. It’s not far- maybe 5 minutes from my
house but I reached there in a record breaking 3 minutes. Anger must have
fueled my running. As I stepped into the store, I felt a strong, muscular arm
on my shoulder. My self-defense kicked in and I twisted the guy’s hand and hit
him on the head. I smiled as I heard the
satisfying sound of bone hitting skull. Ready to confront the guy, I grabbed
his hair and lifted his head.
“What the crap, Megan? What the
heck was that?” Said a familiar voice as the guy rubbed his head. Oh freaking
crap-it was Jonathan, my swimming partner and friend for 2 years now.
“Jonathan! Oh my gosh- I am so sorry!” I cried as I grabbed his
hand. “Does it hurt?”
“Yea it totally does, but I’ll live.” He said
smiling up at me. Phew
“I’m sorry, I’m totally out of it.” I
explained, smiling back.
“No kidding. Geez, what were you
even thinking about, anyway?”
“Nothing.” I sighed.
“Don’t gimme that, Megs. I know
you too well. What’s up?”
“Ugh it’s just that my parents
are totally making me move school.”
“Really? Where to?”
“Vienna High.”
“No way!” He said, raising his
eyebrows.
“What?” I asked.
“I go there.” He said.
“Seriously?” I cried smiling at
him. Suddenly, this whole idea of moving to Vienna High didn’t seem so bad
after all.
“Yea! I can totally show you the
ropes if you want!”
“Definitely!”
“When do you start?” He asked.
“Next Monday.” I said.
“Excellent.” He grinned, rubbing
his hands together.
“So I guess I’ll see you Monday
then?” I said shyly smiling at him.
“Of course! See ya around fellow
Vienen!” He grinned and ruffled my hair as he walked out of the store.
