Chapter Two

His arm made her feel so secure that she felt like she never wanted to move. Maddie looked up and saw that she was lying under the stars in the arms of the man of her dreams. She rolled over and put her head on his chest and she felt his arm hold her tighter than it had before. The guy kissed her on top of her head…

“Beep! Beep! Beep!”

Maddie’s alarm clock chimed at six o’clock and she sat up in her bed. “Darn it! I wish that that had been real. Can you say ‘Man of my dream?’ ” She got up out of bed and looked around at her room. It was very plain and there was nothing really special about it. The walls were a pale pink that she had liked when she was seven and there was a poster of a dancer on her wall that her grandmother had given her for her birthday. Maddie had never really put much thought into changing her room because she never spent that much time on it. Other than sleeping, she never came in her room. She finished most of her homework after school in the library and usually hung out at Lexi house. “Breakfast!” her mom yelled from downstairs. She ran down the stair and sat down at her regular seat that she had sat in every morning for the whole time that she had lived in her house.

After taking a quick shower and putting on the outfit that she and Lexi picked out the night before, Maddie ran down stairs again to wait for Lexi to pick her up. “You seem very happy this morning. Is there something going on at school that I should know about?” her mother questioned at the sight of the large smile on her daughter’s face. “It’s nothing mom, really. I am just looking forward to today for some reason. It feels like something great is going to happen.”

Outside, Lexi honked the horn and waited for her friend to come out. She was shocked when she had been waiting for ten minutes because she thought that Maddie would want to get to school but she guessed she was wrong. At last, after a little while longer, Maddie, with a huge smile on her face, came out of the house. “Where have you been? I thought that today, of all days, you would want to get to school extra early.” Lexi thought. “Well I would have been out here ten minutes ago if it hadn’t been for my mother’s regular morning interrogation.” Lexi laughed at the thought of Maddie’s mom shining a light in her face and asking her, “Where were you last night?”

Maddie rushed to her first class in the hopes that it and the following classes would rush by but she was wrong. Biology dragged on for ever and she wasn’t sure that it was ever going to end. Math made her want to thrown up and her Health class couldn’t have been more boring. Finally, it was time to go to History. She had waited all day for this class to come and now it was finally here. She was so giddy that she couldn’t help but to smile. She passed people in the halls that gave her funny looks and she didn’t care. Nothing could bring her down today.

The door to the History class was right near her locker and she rushed over hoping to grab a seat next to the guy she liked. As she walked over to the door, a man came over the intercom and said, “Madison Sagus, please come down to the office and bring your books with you...that will be all.” She began to walk down the long hall, away from her History room.
I hope that you like what I have written...so far.

Chapter One

“Bring”

The sixth period bell had rung and sounded a relief for the students at Tucker High School. All at once, the hallways became crowded with people going out to their cars and younger students waiting for buses. Alone, Madison sat in the school library, studying for her exams the next day while other people that she went to school with were thinking about going to the mall and hanging out with friends. Madison had never really been into that kind of stuff. Straight A’s since the third grade, Maddie, now a senior in high school, had been accepted to three colleges with full scholarships but she had never had the social life that she had always wanted.

“There you are!” a blonde girl yelled from the other side of the media center. Lexi, Maddie’s only friend, was the exactly opposite of her. Always a social butterfly, she had a new boyfriend every week and was always trying to hook Maddie up with her guy friends. She was one of the most popular girls at school and to top it off she was pretty. Her blonde hair fell just below he shoulders was never anything but pin straight. Her body was perfect in every way and every girl at school either envied her or hated her. There was no in between when it came to Lexi.

“Guess what I heard!” Lexi said with great excitement. All Maddie could think of was Lexi trying to get her to go out with another guy that she didn’t like. “What is it this time?” she asked. “Did you find me another guy that you want me to go out with?”

“You are almost right. I heard that that guy in your fourth period class History class that you have been checking out is totally into you.” Maddie made sure that no one was around other than Lexi and jumped out of her. “Are you yanking my chair or are you serious?” Maddie asked knowing that she had been eyeing this guy for a long time and was waiting for him to make the move. She just hoped that he would ask her out. A million ideas were bouncing around in her head about how he was going to ask her out and what were first date would be like and…what was she going to wear?!?!

“I heard that he might ask you out tomorrow but don’t get your hope up because I heard it from the gossipers who hang out in the bathroom all day and hide in the stalls in order to hear what is going on in this school.” Lexi said trying not to get Maddie’s hopes up to much remembering the time when she got all excited and things didn’t turn out the way that they were suppose to and made her world fall apart. “We better get going if we are going to get home in time for supper.” They had to make sure that they would still have time after dinner to pick out a cute outfit for Maddie’s big day.

In the car ride home, the two girls sat in the car together listening to the radio. Maddie was thinking about how great tomorrow was going to be while Lexi was thinking about her boyfriend and making out with him. If you had met these two girls when they weren’t together than you never would have thought that they were friends because they were just so different but in a way, one completed the other one and they both made each other happy in a way that only a best friend can make you happy.
Hope you like it so far. I will add the next chapter soon so keep checking in!
