Learn to love- Prologue
I think I knew it from the first day I saw him.
I ran into that room so fast, and well I was late and it was my first day of
college, oh well old habits die hard.
Anyway I had been put on the table with one other girl and 8 boys, three of
which were very attractive, so trying to keep my cool that day was proving
difficult, there was only really one of them I liked and his name was Paul, he
was sheer perfection to me, he only had one downfall and that was his
girlfriend. Paul was kinda short but taller then me and had dark hair spiked
and his ear pierced.
I found out that very soon I had most of my lessons in the same room as him,
but I always kept my distance, no matter what, there was no way I was going to
compromise my work, because of a guy, it just wasn’t going to happen, not to me
and not this year.
I made friends very easily, and the girl I spent most of my time with was
called Kristy, she seemed a bit of a bitch on the first day but when you spend
more time with people you find they aren’t all that bad.
I thought I would tell you about my first year at college and the first step
into a world I never knew existed… a place that seems so magical and so
amazing, you really do wonder if you are dreaming.
And tell you about the friends I met along the way, the teachers I pissed off
ever so frequently and how I dealt with my boy problems- Paul.
Well I suppose I should tell you a bit about myself, my name is Bethanie, but
my friends call me Beth, I have straight Brown hair and brown eyes to match, Im
a very plain looking girl and very ordinary. Im 16 years old, I have a twin
brother who needs his head seriously damaging, he is too smart for his own
good, his name is Jason.
I have five best friends, I have known them since year 9, since I moved to the
area really and they invited me to join there little group, trust me I was very
thankful I don’t think I would have been able to cope otherwise. Siobhan was
quite short and has blue-green eyes and her hair is dyed bright red, on anyone
else it would look stupid but it suited her down to the ground she was very
shy, but if you brought up a certain subject i.e. Mark Read she could go for
ages, he was a boy in our year who was very friendly, he liked to talk to
everyone I don’t think it was his friendly nature that interested her the most
though, he was a god, 6 foot tall, with brown short hair and really nice green
eyes and all round musical genius, but as soon as it came to Siobhan talking to
him she would usually feel sick and run out of the room, even with this all
evident to Mark he didn’t know she liked him, infect he thought she hated him.
Then there was Kaz, she was one of the funniest Girls I knew and always chasing
any lad that looked in her direction, you could say she was man mad, but no one
knew what type she went for and if she had any intention of finding a steady
boyfriend. She managed to get lads pretty easily, her black hair instantly got
there attention and then her big brown eyes won them over.
Then we have Lisa and Shreena, those two are inseparable, they did everything
together, but they were like Chalk and Cheese, they would like to think they
had everything in common but infact they didn’t, Shreena has brown hair and
brown eyes and Lisa has blond hair and brown eyes. The only thing they have in
common was Ben Adams, the school stud; he was the typical pretty boy, brown
hair in curtains and big blue eyes he too enjoyed his music.
Then you have Hanne, well she is absolutely insane. She transferred from Norway
in year 8 and she is the one you go to if you need to seriously have fun, she
is so mad and weird that you know your are going to enjoy yourself she has
black hair and Blue-green eyes, it was so much fun when we were all together
though, we had sleep-overs every month and chatted about anything and
everything until the early hours and never got bored.
Well there you have it, all of us in the same college and all of us being the
same as ever except now with Paul in the picture I didn’t know how I was going
to survive.
