From: "hope_danielle_parker" Date: Wed Oct 16, 2002 2:56 am Subject: High School Challenge:(Part of) Chapter One Challenge Discription:The Pretender gang is all in High School. Jarod, Miss Parker, Lyle, Broots, Kyle, Emily, and Timmy (Angelo) are all students in high School and they are all good friends. Sydney is the guidance Councilor. Mr. Parker is the sometimes good Principal, Raines is the evil Assistant Principal. Catherine Parker is alive and well. Jarod lives with his family. Parker, the cheerleading captain, looks like her mini-adult self and Jarod, the QB of the football team, looks like Ryan Merriman (Duh...), and has MGM (Mentally Gifted Minors) classes with Kyle and Angelo. That basically means, they do whatever they want for most of the day. Broots is the school's computer genius/geek. Homecoming is in the air. Will Parker and Jarod go together? Will they be king and queen? Are they even dating (if anyone chooses this, I hope they will be)? Will anyone spike the punch? Does Mr. Parker like Jarod? Does Major Charles like Miss Parker? Will a tragedy shake they lives of all? Ahhh...high school... Disclaimer: The Pretender belongs to Craig and Steve. Not Me! ****** Blue Cove High School Blue Cove, Delaware "Just think, this is our last year..." mused senior, Jarod Charles. "Yeah and in eleven months, we're out of this place!" cheered his best friend, fellow senior, Jason Broots. "Oh, come on, Broots." Said the third senior Timmy "Angelo" Churill; "It?s not that bad!" "So says the second smartest kid in the school!" replied Broots. "Second smartest?!" Cried Angelo, "I've never been so offended in my life!" Jarod chuckled. He and Angelo were two of the three smartest kids in the entire school. The third was Jarod's brother, Kyle, who was a junior. From beside him, Jarod's sister, Emily, a sophomore, rolled her eyes. "You over dramatize too much." Angelo smiled at her. "Says you." "Quit with the googly eyes! You two drive me crazy!" declared Kyle. Emily gave her brother a look and shook her head. "You know we're just playing. We have no interest in each other what so ever. Right, Angelo?" "Right." He agreed. The group entered the school. And Broots, Angelo, and Jarod all went off to their homeroom leaving Emily and Kyle to go their ways. On the way to the homeroom, Jarod saw a beautiful girl in a short skirt and a peasant top standing with a boy and they were talking with the schools Principal Mr. Parker. Her hair was dark and down alittle past her shoulders. The boy standing next to her had a slight resemblance. As the three boys passed them, Mr. Parker called Jarod over to him. The teen turned and walked over to them, telling Broots and Angelo he would meet up with them later over his shoulder. When he reached Mr. Parker, he went into polite boy mode, despite the fact he knew Mr. Parker didn't like him. "Jarod." Said the Principal; "This is my daughter Michaelina and her twin brother Bobby. They are new here and they're seniors and I would like you to show them around." Jarod nodded and led the twins away. Bobby immediately didn't like the fellow senior. There was this way about him that he didn't like. But, smartly, he kept all this information to himself. "Do you guy's have any nicknames or anything?" asked Jarod trying to break the ice. "You can call me Lyle." Said Bobby. "At my old school, everyone called me Miss Parker." Said Michaelina. "Can I just call you Michaelina?" asked Jarod. A happy smile touched her lips. "Only a few people know that, that's my real name." "I guess I'm special then." "I guess so." She murmured, "So, Jarod, What's your rank in this school?" "I'm the smartest kid in this entire school, followed by my best friend Angelo, who's another senior and my brother Kyle, who's a junior. I'm the QB of the football team. And I think I?m the most popular guy in school, but that doesn't matter to me." "Wow." Said Michaelina, a bit taken back. Jarod chuckled. "Are you intimidated?" "Just a little bit." "Don't be, I never view myself as someone higher than everyone else. Plus I help tutor kids that need help." "That's good, cuz I fear I'm not that smart, but I have my good looks." They shared a laugh and Bobby wanted to gag. He could tell his twin was developing a crush on the boy. He sighed softly to himself. Jarod led them around, showing them the library, cafeteria, quad, gym, the rest of where their classes were then finally their homeroom. "If you ever need me, I'll be in room 106 for the most of the day." He told the twins. "Okay. Thank you, Jarod." Said Michaelina. Jarod smiled and walked away, a smile upon his lips. Michaelina followed him with her eyes as he walked away, a similar smile on her lips. Her twin shook his head. "You disgust me." He told her, going into the classroom. Immaturely, she stuck her tongue out at him before she followed after him. TBC. What do you think? After I finish this (which is part of chapter one), I'm gonna put it on Fanfiction.net. P.S: I've had writer's block for a long time and I was thinking of this challenge I created and *BOOM* it just started to flow. I'm going to be writing more to: The First Pretend, but I'm stuck there. Oh, well.
