Goodbye Cheese state and Hello Cali, Missy [great books for teens TXT] 📗

I ran out of my room and it was seven thirty. I have fifteen minutes to get to school. I jogged up the stairs, and ran into the kitchen, and the house was already empty. I guess everyone already left. I sighed, and grabbed my book bag, and ran out the door.
“ How do I get to school?” I cried. I have no clue where to go…. I sighed, and looked up and down the block, and I saw a black Prius coming towards me, and it stopped and I saw Tristan in the car, so I guess this is his car. There was a dude in the passenger seat and two other guys in the back.
“ Need a ride?” he grinned.
“ Nope,” I said popping the p. “ But I do need directions.”
“ Just get in the car,” he sighed.
“ Just give me the directions,” I spat. He glared at me, and rolled his eyes and then sped off. I stood their completely dumbfounded, and I sprinted towards the car, and it came to a stop once again. I was panting and Tristan rolled down the window again smirking.
“ Get in,” He smiled. I growled and went to go grab the door handle to the back and he sped off, and I stomped my foot. The car stopped again, and it came back in reverse.
“ Come on Mayella get in the car! I was joking!” I heard Tristan yell. I turned around and walked back to the house, and I gave him the middle finger.
“ F*ck you Tristan!” I screamed. I felt someone put their hands around my waist and I got hauled over someone’s shoulders. “ What the hell?!” I yelled.
“ Shut up,” A deep voice said. I looked at him, and he threw me into the backseat of Tristan’s car, and next to another guy and then he got in next to me, and closed the door. I was in-between two jocks.
“ What the hell Tristan!” I growled.
“ Your so annoying,” he sighed.
“ Well then drop me off!” I hissed. The two guys sitting next to me where looking at me, and I pulled my hood up and slumped in the seat. “ Didn’t your parents Eva tell you it aint polite to be staring,” I said sheepishly.
“ this is your new sister?” One of them asked.
“ Hmm,” Tristan mumbled.
“ Man you couldn’t even get a fun one,” Another mumbled. Tristan laughed, and I shot my head to the side and glared at the guy which made that comment. He looked at me and shrugged his shoulders. “ not even a hot one.” He added in. I gawked at him, and brought my hand up and punched him straight in the nose. He gasped and glared at me. “ You crazy b*tch!” He snapped.
“ You’re the one that pissed me off!” I hissed looking away from him. I felt his weight shift onto me, and he was holding onto my arms.
“ Leave her alone,” Tristan sighed. The guy looked at me and then let me go, and I scooted away from him, and looked the other way. The car came to a stop, and all the guys jumped out of the car, and I got out slowly, and stood their feeling uncomfortable. Tristan and his friends walked off and I stood their next to his car, and dozens of people where looking at me, and I looked down, and started to walk towards the school. I walked into something and I looked up and saw Tristan. I sighed.
“ Hey Mayella,” he smiled. I rolled my eyes, and tried to walk past him, but he stepped in front of me. “ You’re not going to say hi to me?” He asked trying to be hurt.
“ Hi, bye,” I said quickly, and tried to get past him but he continued to get in my way. I sighed, and took a step back, and put a hand on my hip and glared at him. I noticed all his friends where around us staring at me. I felt my face starting to turn red. “ Whatdya want Tristan?” I sighed.
“ you don’t sound very happy,” He smirked.
“ Im not very happy,” I snapped back raising my voice. He reached out his hand towards me and touched my shoulder, and I took a step back, and tripped on a crack, and fell back on my ass. I let out a ump. I heard a crack, and I flinched, and reached into my back pocket, and saw my broken i-pod. DAMNIT! I looked at my i-pod which was my life. All my music… the only thing that had kept me sane. I got up, and everyone was dying from laughter, and I looked up at Tristan and he had this huge grin on his face. He purposely wanted to trip-
My parents felt soaking wet, and I turned my head, and saw all this red stuff on my pants… what the hell is this?
“ She has her period!” One of the guys laughed. I turned around and saw all these ketchup wrappers. He had me trip so I would fall on those. I looked over at Tristan completely disgusted of him. I lunged at him, and my fist met his nose, and I heard a huge crack. I brought my knee up to where a guy really doesn’t want to be kicked. He doubled over in pain, and I stood there over him.
“ Your one hell of a bastard Tristan,” I said feeling tears in my eyes. I ran towards the school before they would of seen my cry. I ran until I found a bathroom, and I ran in there, and fell to the ground. I brought my knees up to my chest, and hid my face in my knees, and let out a sigh.
“ A- Are you okay?” I heard a faint voice. I looked up and saw a girl in baggy pants, and a Beatles shirt, frizzy brown hair, and she was wearing no makeup. I tried to smile, and I let out a laugh.
“ ugh im great,” I laughed and shook my head.
“ You’re the new girl right?” She asked. I nodded my head and looked up at her.
“ Im Mayella. You can call me May,” I smiled.
“ Beautiful name. I’m Zoe,” She said taking a step closer to me.
“ Is that your real name?”
She shook her head. “ nick name. my real name is Zophilla.”
“ Wow what a name. not in a bad way either. It’s a pretty sweet name,” I smiled.
“ Thank you. What are you doing in the bathroom?”
“ Tristan tripped me and I landed on ketchup, so it looks like I had my period,” I said feeling my face start to go red.
“ I hate Tristan,” she mumbled,
“ So do i… I live with him.”
“ What?”
“ His father and my mother are a thing,” I said shaking my head. “ Tristan is the biggest jerk I have ever met.”
“ Yeah he is. I have some extra clothes in my locker I could borrow you,” She smiled.
“ That… that would be great,” I smiled at her.
“ I’ll be right back,” She smiled, and turned on her heel, and walked out the door. I sat there, and got up, and walked into one of the stalls, and pulled off my jeans. I heard the door open, and a piece of black clothing was thrown over the stall. I looked at them and was gawking.
“ Their short shorts,” I gasped.
“ It’s all I got,” I heard her say. I slipped them on and looked down…. Ugh… I walked out of the stall and Zoe stopped me.
“ your sweater has ketchup all over it too,” she said biting her lip.
“ Aghh!” I cried. I pulled off my sweater, and I already looked like one of those little whores. I was looking at myself in the mirror.
“ You look fine,” Zoe said. “ not too sound weird, but you have an amazing body,” Zoe smiled.
“ it’s not that I just don’t like showing so much skin…. Looking like a tramp and all,” I sighed.
“ You look fine May,” she smiled.
“ Thank you Zoe,” I said looking at her.
“ Of course. When we are back out in classes and in the halls, and all that I will understand if you don’t say hi to me.”
“ What are you talking about?” I asked looking at her confused.
“ im one of the biggest losers in school,” She said looking away. I shook my head and put my hand on her shoulder.
“ I would rather be friends with someone real like you, rather than some fake Barbie doll anyway,” I smiled. She smiled back, and then I heard the bell ring.
“ Oh no we are late!” She cried. She ran out the door and I followed her.
“ I don’t know where to go….” I said.
“ let me see your schedule.” I handed Zoe my schedule, and she looked over it. “ We have every single class together,” she smiled. I jumped up and down.
“ Yes! I found my new best friend,” I smiled. Zoe’s face went pure happiness and she beamed with a huge grin.
“ come on let’s get to class,” She smiled. We started to run down the halls, and I ran next to her.
“ What is the first class?”
“ We have Algebra,” She said.
“ I hate that class,” I sighed. Zoe laughed, and we stopped in front of the classroom, and Zoe opened the door, and walked in and I followed behind her.
“Zophilla you better have a good reason why you are late,” A man asked.
“ Im sorry Mr. Martin. This is the new student she was lost so I showed her to class,” Zoe said stepping aside so everyone saw me. I hated when I was center of attention. Everyone looked at me, and I saw Tristan there with all his jocks. I sighed, and looked away from him.
“ Very well take your seat Zophilla,” Mr. Martin said. Zoe walked to the back of the class past Tristan and he said something, and put out his foot and Zoe tripped over him, and mumbled sorry and sat in her desk with her head down. Tristan was laughing and I was glaring at him “ Would you like to introduce yourself?” Mr. Martin asked looking at me. I worked up a smile.
“ I’m Mayella Lynch,” I smiled.
“ What a hick name!” someone shouted. I looked up and saw it was Tristan who said it.
“ A hick name for a hick person,” I smiled at him. He glared at me, and I smiled, and rolled my eyes.
“ That’s enough Tristan,” Mr. martin said. The phone rang, and Mr. martin went to answer it. “ class use this class for a study I need to go so BEHAVE! Oh and Mayella you can sit in the open desk next to Zophilla,” he smiled at me. I nodded my head and then he left. I looked up at Zoe and she had a worried look on her face. I walked past some people and went to go past Tristan and he put out his foot, and I kicked his leg hard, and he let out a yelp and grabbed his shin.
“ Don’t try to trip me!” I said glaring at him, and I went and sat down next to Zoe. She smiled at me.
“ Do you have a death wish?” She whispered.
“ no I just won’t put
