I am Marisa Lily Winter but you can call me Marie : I think that's simple. I am the only daughter to Mr Simons and that probably didn't ring a bell: but he is pretty rich. I live in Ohio and that is because I school there, I guess that is because my dad doesn't like the attention we got back home in Michigan. I grew up there, he wants me to live like every other high school kid and that is why we are here in Ohio
Don't mind my tone, I still live pretty much fine here because we've got the biggest duplex in town. I have my personal everything even though I don't need that and I am one of the privileged to school at Star shines high , like what else could a high school girl like me need
"Marisa" Someone shouted.That must be my personal driver. I scrambled for my backpack , grabbed my phone and dashed downstairs.i don't like homemade foods so we would probably branch a lone and eat afterall it is pretty much still early

Waking up at 6:40 would be a big disaster. I live miles away from Star shines high and I am supposed to resume today. I am smart so I won a scholarship there. Not that rich, not rich not poor not fancy enough. I live close to the market cause my dad does furniture and living close by would be nice cause we get to pay cheaper rent and dad can beat off his competitions. I live in the third floor of the biggest building in the market. I live with my mother,daddy and sister. I'm good looking but I'm very proud of my life even if my parents are struggling.
Better have breakfast now: I slept on a empty stomach like other nights of July. The roasters has changed from 101 to 110.No square meals till Christmas. We solely depends on my dad's pretty sales to get going. Do we eat noodles, oats unlike some people who have rice for breakfast and still complain
6:59
I am ready for school. Know I rushed everything and am pretty sure none of the things I've done is perfect. But for the meanwhile I've got to wait for my neighbours. They have kids going to the hearts of Ohio to school. So they could drop me off at school. I only have a problems with that and it's their daughter Leah. Yeah, she is practically all over me which my parents are taking to their advantage. Reducing expenses like eating with them Sunday evenings and that. Leah is kinda cute too but she baskes in this pride I don't like. I heard my name from the door. Speak of the devil and the devil appears. It is Leah.

I've practically waited for this day. Summer classes begin today and I am very happy to be back at school. Home can be very boring especially when you have younger ones to babysit. Wish I could babysit someone else.
Yeah it's Kyle my neighbor and he is very handsome I mean what else would you call a sixteen year old boy that is six foot tall dark blonde hair tanned chested with piercings other than handsome. I think I like him but he doesn't feel comfortable with me and all but I am at his door and at his mercy. Why love; Cupid must have shot deep into my heart. He came out and stretched his hands for an handshake that same old greeting unlike his friend who would offer a hug which I would obviously decline. Halfway towards the elevator, I offer to carry his bag and he seemed to flinch a little before gently turning down the request
"No thank you I think I'm good"
Time seemed slower in the elevator and the air surrounding it was all full of suspense because of what happened before we actually entered and anytime I turn my head his way he is doing something invalid trying to pass away time. The elevator got to a stop and then we we talked over to Dad's car that was already pulled out onto the streets.
My dad knew my emotions and that is what hs making him mad at me. I like Kyle but I am still dating Ricky Ups. Ricky is also cute but I don't find him attractive anymore and there is absolutely no reason for that because he is cute,rich and very extravagant, he gives me money to have a hairdo, change my phone and all. A million girls would want that kinda guy but I don't. Not anymore. Dad started driving and all I could do was to catch a glimpse of Kyle

I am finally in Star shines high and although it is a private high we still got to wear or home clothes to school. Today I wore the jersey of my dad favorite soccer team Inter Miami with pink matching pants and as usual, I got the guys head turning towards me.
Like every year, the girls try to findout the number of guys that are new from the principal and this time Nancy tells me the school was expecting fifteen new guys to resume today. The girls got themselves in heavy makeup and their fanciest outfits but I don't seem to care much about that because right now I got three guys asking me out since the last semester. I am not edgy so I've not given them replies. They are not that bad but they are not that good as well. I mean Ollie dumped his last girlfriend on her birthday and when I asked him about that he laughed and whispered" Establishing dominance". Tim is too timid and when he asked me out he opted out almost immediately. He took a few steps backwards
" That's what I wanted to say"
Not that bad
Stephen is much worse: he is rich and extravagant, probably slept with all his girlfriends. There was a case few months ago when he got one of the girls in my class pregnant. It pretty much escalated but due of his dad's affluence it pretty much died down.
But I really wanted a boyfriend and I'm going to be turning sixteen next week. Really want a boyfriend before the celebration of the world boyfriends day. Long time ago I celebrated it with my crush, we were one week into dating when he relocated to New Mexico and I couldn't settle down for a long distance relationship. I was much happy when he called our relationship off. A new guy just entered and I could not help but look at him. It's a kind of habit girls develop in the school and if I am to be honest he was good looking but not as much as Stephen and as I was evaluating him comparing him to Stephen Ollie walked up to me.
This is going to be a very long one.

I hate my dutch accent and the effect it has on my English. It reduces my morale especially now I'm trying to get the hottest girl in school right now. New guys are coming so I really want to act fast. I feel it's because of the dutch touch in my English she has not given me a reply that is what I feel. My parents divorced long ago when I was still young and I had to stay with my mom in the Netherlands. I grew up there until I was sponsored to learn by my football academy: they believed in me because I was considered an uprising and I am a top-notch striker. I'm in a nearby academy that has their team play in the top division here in the States and I represent the team on several occasions. I am known for that and I am also the first choice for Star shines high in different competitions and we have surprisingly never lost out.
I have mixed feelings of why Marisa is saying no: I told her once I dumped my girlfriend on her birthday and it is because of Marisa and I think she feels maybe I would do the same for her. As I came closer to her, I noticed she had her attention in a new guy. And that is what I have been trying to avoid. I tapped her " Hey Marie". I kept my arms on her shoulders. That's what I feel. Her restraint. She is comfortable around me. She even hugged me but not enough time and chemistry to feel her.
I moved to her front
Do you want to hang out later on the weekend, I am available"
She gave me the reply I wanted to hear
"Okay, I should be available I would be able to make it there, just that I get to pick the place". She gave me a nudge on my elbow so what is with all this insecurities I feel about her. Whatever.
I went over to meet Ella. She is not as fine but she always gives long free hugs and I felt I needed one right now. Bad uh

It was not up to 30 mins before Leah dad's car broke down in a lonely trail, her brother and I came out of the car to see what we could do to help her dad in fixing it. Look like there was no hope of getting it fixed, the problem had something to do with the battery and that was after I had sacrificed my lunch water to the radiator. I am not really familiar with cars because I've never had one nor my dad. The dead battery or what do they all it stayed the same way making the car hum when we start it but not even move at the slightest inch. It was getting late and I didn't have enough money for my weekly upkeep let alone transport. After several minutes of doing different things, Leah's dad told us to push it a bit and surprisingly that worked out. I was already sweating and that went a long way to ruin my blue outfit. I was lucky I wore a black vest underneath, so I pulled off the shirt and entered the car. I am pretty much aware of my tanned chest and the fact Leah would be looking at me gave me shivers. I placed my backpack on my laps and I began to wonder why people seem amused at my chest, I assist my dad in his carpentry and that is how tanner carpenters chest are.
Her dad dropped me at the street near to the school. Probably some blocks away from the school and this is because of he would have to take the other turn to Leah's school. I felt lazy and didn't want any to walk at all. I halted a motorcycle to take me to the school. I'd rather appear nice and not sweaty on my first day at the school. The morning breeze has done a lot of work to keep me this dry and I wanted to dry up some more. I got to the school and I walked in timidly and that is because the school doesn't look like a school a poor boy like me should be attending, the school aura screamed from the gates, I did a little composure check before entering the building, I was in the school reception doing some petty registration when I saw a girl pass. She was looking good looking but I know I ain't rich like them so I let the thought fly. I was still in the registration process when I heard a bell jingle. They have started their lectures .

I just stepped out to have a private discussion with my mom and it was just like every other opening day of school.
"Be careful", " Don't disappoint us" and those kind of stuff. I live with my aunt and I am pretty much happy about that. I started moving with my aunt three years ago when my parents signed up for missionary work to Indonesia. My aunt is much fun than my parents: she is not so strict, allo a late outings and this kind of stuff. I was entering the hall reception when I heard a male voice and I turned to look at him, coincidentally he did the same and our eyes met and I got to say this
Damnnn!
He is so handsome. Looking at him was awkward cause it was not intentional and it was too lasting. I used the opportunity to greet the receptionist Ms Hart. She replied nicely and I left the receptionist. I entered just when the bell rang for lectures. Everyone was settled so I used the opportunity to address the class.
"There is a new guy".
A lot of the new guys we have seen earlier were either in lower classes or higher classes. Sebastian was the only new boy in our class. The girls started throwing questions about the same time our teacher entered. I hurriedly sat down beside Marie: she is my best friend so we talked in low hushed tones about the guy. I just continued to hope he would be in our class. We were ten minutes to the end of the class when our hall coordinator entered the class and she came with the new boy!.
"Hello class, you have a new student Kyle Lock". The giggles and the voices emanated from the class in low increasing tones. And just like our school custom with new students, everyone is just to introduce themselves and I was happy not because of the new guy but because our teacher was throwing real tough questions my way when she caught me talking. That should be enough to buy time.

I can't remember the last time I said "Wow" when I saw a guy. This Kyle guy is the best thing I've seen today. It's like he came to seduce us all. Just bare looking at the way his muscles flexed and made bumps with every single action he makes with his hands or the silky vest held on to his chest, his jawline, his dark blonde or the stud in his ear. Obviously every other girl was also gingerly excited to the extent the noise was much and Ollie had to call the class into order.
"We're still in a lesson".
Bell rang and everyone was only subdued for a split second after Ollie words. I was talking to Nancy as we went to our lockers when this Kyle guy came to me or I thought he came to me. I am such a fool. He actually went to his locker that was right beside mine . That locker has been vacant since mid April. He began to arrange the locker in his way and I greeted him.
"Hi"
"Hi", he looked at me and after some hesitation, he finally asked for my name.
"Marisa Winter but you can call me Marie". Nancy could only giggle at my back, she is very shy around boys.
"Kyle, Kyle Lock". He gave me a tap on the hand. Nancy took the opportunity and introduced herself as well.
"Nancy Manchester"
He tapped her hand too, then he locked his locker and went to the class for our history lesson.

I entered the class: I didn't like the reception but I liked the idea that the girls in the school were all beautiful and gorgeous. I just met one cause she is my new locker mate and she was fantastic.
All the girls here are fantastic: you just need to make your choice and that is kinda funny but what would you expect from a school of it's calibre.
I went to the history class since I had seen the time table and I didn't want to look or act not serious on my first day in school. By my dressing I already look rugged. I had to keep pulling my vest off my chest severally cause of the way the boys are sneering at me and the irritation I seemed to notice on the face of some girls. I tried to find a place for myself to be myself in the back of the class before either students enter. More students poured into the classroom and the lesson began.
As usual, long and boring.
