PART 1 BEFORE THE REAL PROBLEMS BEGIN

D arren slammed the locker rooms shut as he heaved his gym bag over his husky shoulders and walked on to his next period.

“Dude, PE is a real pain, man,” Exclaimed Darren’s best friend, Kevin breathlessly.

“Yeah, no kidding,” replied Darren.

Darren Foley was a strong, oversized young man with an eager, pale face just ready to tell jokes. He was obviously the class clown. He had messy ruffled, brown hair and a mysterious look when he was serious. (Fat chance) Now, Kevin Bullock was like Darren except he was a bit more fit and always had this creepy, serious look. Kevin constantly laughed, almost annoying. You could call him the class clown and you couldn’t; Kevin had his limits and he wasn’t stupid and for this he almost never got in trouble. He had lots of neatly combed light brown hair, combed to different sides, one side going left, and one side going right, and vice versa.

It had been two months since Darren, Kevin, and some other friends had entered their third year in high school. School was way harder than they thought working with chemicals, calculus, you name it. For the first time in their lives they had to study . With that they had serious problems… What if the seniors attacked them? Their next problem was the constant worry of getting a girlfriend. Of course they had one but what if they were dumped? That would ruin their lives! Little did they know this was these were nothing compared to their real problems.

“Did you like see that boy, Amanda?” whispered Rachael.

Yeah, he’s so cute what’ his name?” replied Amanda

“I don’t know. He’s so hot!”

“No kidding. I think his name is-

“Stop it!” scolded Emily, “You girls should stop staring at boys it’s just wrong!

“Grow up, you’ve got to like guys someday,” Rachael teased.

“Shut up, why am I your friends anyways?” Emily wailed.

“’Cause we hate you!” giggled mockingly Amanda and Rachael together.

Rachael Lindsey had short, orange hair, a round face and a silly look. She was a bit short and not exactly skinny. She was the female class clown, crazier than Darren. Amanda Beatrice tried her best to be a fashion princess, wearing the latest fashions. She wasn’t very appealing but hey, she tried. Her hair was light blonde with a square face, a skinny body and a very tall appearance. Emily Tya was a very different girl. She got all A’s, never a single B, trying her best at all her studies. She did not care of the fashions or the boys. She was a nerd, unpopular, and was a bookworm. Even though all of this these three were all friends. The bell rang they had to go.
