A new year was starting in Newport and that meant a new school year. The alarm broke through the silence and straight into Marissa's head.
"Aw crap, school," she mumbled, covering her eyes with her arm, but she reluctantly got out of bed complaining about 'damn politics'.
"Good morning, Marissa!" sang Julie Cooper-Nichol. Marissa cringed at the over happy mother she was greeted with. It was just TOO early for 'Julie antics'. She lazily chewed on a bagel while her mother carried on in her own world until Julie disturbed her thoughts.
"Marissa, honey. Aren't you supposed to be showing a new girl to school today? Just moved here a mile or so away. Kelly was her last name, I think, but you'd said you'd show her around when she moved to Newport." Said Julie, she handed a piece of paper with the details to her half dead daughter. Marissa rolled her eyes. Great. A new girl, and I'M the one who had to be showing her around. Damn, it was still too early.
"Gotta jet so I'll see you later, maybe," Marissa called out of the door and she ran to her car. Did the morning light have to be so bright?
The wind blew in her face whilst she drove to the new girl's place. The fresh air helped her get rid of the morning sleepiness. It looked like the new girl was living in a trailer park. Great. Even more reason to go see this girl. The sheet stated that the girl's name was 'Alex Kelly' Age 17 and she was living alone without parents or a guardian. Ooooo a rebel! Sends shivers down my spine! She thought sarcastically. She arrived at the trailer park but it wasn't that bad a sight, not like she had thought it out to be. She breathed in deep, stepped up on the front porch and knocked on the door.
"Wait a mo," a girl's voice said from inside. A lot of rustling and falling followed the voice. The door opened up and there stood a girl with long blonde hair and a purple streak that trailed along in it. She wore a denim skirt and a yellow T-Shirt with 'Mischief' on it. Marissa just stood there and stared at the girl in front of her.
"I'm Marissa Cooper…" she said. She'd lost the gift of speech for a moment. "I'm from Newport High School and I'm here to…" she trailed off not sure of what to say. She just looked down and went quiet. The girl smiled and offered her hand.
"Hey. I'm Alex Kelly. New to Newport." She joked. Marissa took Alex's hand and her stomach flipped over. Why? "Hey you're my tour guide then to Newport High School?" she still had a hold of Marissa's hand. She pulled Marissa closer to her, so there faces were inches apart, "I'm glad that you're cute," she commented before letting go of Marissa's hand. Marissa just stood there, mesmerized. Alex laughed, "Wait here while I go get my bag." She went back into her place and came back with a black bag strapped across her chest. "Ok! Let's go! That your car?" Marissa nodded slowly, still unsure what was happening. They walked a few steps until Alex grabbed hold of Marissa's hand and pulled her along faster, "Come on! You have to be faster than that!" Marissa just blushed and just allowed herself to be pulled along.
When they got to her car, which seemed like FOREVER to Marissa. She took Alex's bag and put it in the back seat. Marissa slid into the driver's seat while Alex just jumped into the front passenger seat. They drove off to school.
"So are you excited about starting a new school?" Marissa asked.
"I suppose." Alex shrugged. She smiled to Marissa. Marissa just tried to pay attention to the road.
