Ch.1 Nice to meet you


To start off, my name is Kimberly Stewart, one of the most popular girls in school... the reason I’m popular is because of my tallness and richness. My mom and dad are originally from Italy but moved here about 20 years ago when they got first married. My friends at school think that my life is so perfect, but it’s not... I was adopted when I was 5 months old. I knew that about 5 years ago when I was 12 years old. I didn’t get mad from my parents unlike other kids would, since I took the example of ME having an adopted child... I might never actually tell him! But they are still like my parents to me, at least my godparents... I never actually knew my biological parents, and neither did mom and dad. Yes, I still call them mom and dad. Just because I was adopted doesn’t mean that I can’t consider them as my parents, and my two 13 year old twin brothers, Jamie and Jason, as my real brothers... Just like I consider my best friends as sisters. Anyways, not a lot of people know that I’m adopted at school... Just my closest best friend, Katy Miller, knows. Other than that, nobody!
So today was just another boring day at school... I’m practically single now since my previous relationship with Davis Handler didn’t go so well. On his ex-girlfriend’s birthday, I found him hooking up with her upstairs. Anyways, a new guy came to school today. His name was Matthew Gray. I’m pretty sure every girl was interested in him, and I was one of them... He had blonde hair, blue eyes, and an amazing body and sense of fashion. He had everything I’m looking for in a guy, and I’m pretty sure he’ll be popular in no time!
My last session today was chemistry, which is my favorite subject, so I sit down after class to help the teacher, Mrs. Denzel, clean up. My job today was to put all the beakers in the closet which wasn’t so hard, at least not as hard as I thought. They were really heavy, even though they were plastic! So I was on my way over to put the next collection in the closet when I suddenly dropped them...
“Shit!” I told myself!
As I was picking them up, a guy, wearing dark blue converse was standing right in front of me...
“Want a hand?” he said, leaning down to help me.
“Thanks for helping me...” I answered nervously.
“No problem.” He said handing me the bunch of beakers he could have got.
He had beautiful blue eyes... He looked familiar... Very familiar.
“I’m Matthew, but you can call me Matt” he said, giving me a hand so we can shake hands.
“I’m Kimberly, known as Kim” I said shaking his hand “nice to meet you Matt” I continued.
“Nice to meet you too.” He said, smiling.
He had an amazing smile! His white teeth lit the darkness of the room. After that, we both went back to our usual lives.
I go to Abraham Lincoln high school in Brooklyn, New York. I live on 72nd street. My mom always picks me up from school right after she picks my two brothers from their school.
Normally, when I finish my homework, my mom and I make hot chocolate and watch ‘E news’ on E TV, and talk about our day...
“I met this really cute guy today” I started...
“Oh really? What’s his name?” my mom asked.
“Matthew... he has blonde hair and blue eyes!” I said... enthusiastically!
“You love blonde guys with blue eyes! He is perfect for you!” she told me... smiling!
“I know!” I said and hugged her...
And after that we just sat down enjoying the movie with silence... especially since dad, Jason, and Jamie are out!
When the movie ended, my mom took my cup and her cup to the kitchen and on her way outside of the TV room; she tilted her head and asked...
“Honey, how old is Matthew?” she raised an eyebrow at me.
“Mom don’t worry... he’s my age!” I giggled.
“Oh good!” she said on her way to the kitchen.
By 10 o’clock I got a text message from Katy, saying:
HELLO! I just wanted to say call me because I barely have 1 unit! LOVE YOU! BYEEEE <3
I did like she said, called her...
“Hello?” she answered.
“Hey! Is there something you wanted to talk about?” I asked...
“Yeah... My brother is saying that he saw you with that new guy after school in the chemistry class... ALONE!”
“Well that’s true... Why are you so freaked out? He’s an amazing guy!”
“I know you like him but... I can’t help but feel he’s hitting on every girl in school...”
“What do you mean?” I asked curiously...
“Just forget it! I don’t know what I was thinking. I can tell you guys will end up dating!”
“Okay... THANKS!”
“Anytime.”
And she hung up... I can’t help but feel that she wanted to tell me something but didn’t want to say it!
When I was in bed, all I could think about is Matt! It’s like he took over my head! His eyes, his smile, his hair, his EVERYTHING! It just drove every girl crazy!
~ NEXT DAY ~
My alarm clock probably interrupted the dream I was having... Matt and I go out on a date and we were about to kiss when I was awakened, but who am I kidding? First of all, he’ll be popular by now, and second, every girl will be killing herself to get him, so there’s a very small percentage that I’ll be that girl.
Although, today was not like I expected... I thought Matt should have been popular by now but he is sitting with a bunch of NOBODY’S! I was kind of shocked when I knew that, I mean, how could a gorgeous guy like him be sitting with people whom are uglier in a thousand times? He should be eating lunch with the football team or any popular group!
“I totally think he should join the football team! He looks so athletic!” Katy said while I was opening my locker...
“Can you just stop thinking about the football team for one second!?”
“You know I love watching football... especially for the hot boys!” she winked at me.
“Katy you are in love with every single guy in the football team! Can’t you choose one specific boy?”
“Nope... That’s going to be hard!”
“Not as hard as you think!”
Then I receive a message from an unknown number:
TURN AROUND!

Ch.2 Romeo e giulietta



What the hell? What was that supposed to mean? And so I did turn around, and I found Matt standing right in front of me!
“How did you get my phone number?” I asked him.
“Davis gave it to me...”
“Davis?” my ex-boyfriend! He should have probably deleted my number by now!
“Yeah... Davis Handler... You know him right?”
“Yes... Why did you want my number?”
“Thought it might be nice to contact you” he winked, and then continued... “Anyways would you like to go get a small snack now?”
“I’m sorry... I’m busy!”
“With what?”
“I have an Italian lesson.”
“Why do you learn Italian?”
“Well my parents are from Italy and we go for a visit every vacation so I learn Italian to be able to talk with my relatives there... It’s also a fun language to learn...”
“Oh! So where do you learn?”
“A teacher comes to my house... I’m sorry I have to go... I’m going to be late!”
I took my books and headed straight to the door, where I saw my mom waiting for me in the car!
“Hurry up honey! Mrs. Edmonda is waiting for you!” My mom yelled out of the car.
I sat in the front seat...
“So who was that guy you were talking to?” Jamie said.
“What guy?” I looked at him raising an eyebrow at them...
“That guy you were with!” Jason joined the conversation.
“Were you guys spying on me?”
“Nope... Mom send us to search for you!”
“And instead you spied on me!”
“Now now people, stop this nonsense!” My mom told us.
“Come on Kim, who is he? Your boyfriend?” Jamie said...
“NO! He’s just a friend!”
“For now!” Jason added.
Then mom gave them what we like to call ‘THE LOOK’ to make them shut up! After about 15 minutes we were home. I went upstairs to my bedroom and bought my Italian books...
“Good afternoon Mrs. Edmonda” I said heading to sit next to her in the couch...
“Hello Kim... I hope your day went well!”
“Yes it did...”
She took my books and put them on the table...
“We’re not going to use the books today... instead; I’m going to throw you a drop quiz to see how much you have studied!”
“Okay”
And so Mrs. Edmonda started pointing at some objects, like the lamp, mug, sofa, table, etc... And I would name them in Italian. They were easy words so I got out of the class without any extra homework. But when I got my books and was heading to the door, Mrs. Edmonda held my hand and gave me a book, about 300 pages or more...
“Romeo e Guilietta?” I asked...
“Yes... Romeo and Juliet! I want you to read this and finish it after your Christmas break...”
“But I’ve already read this story in eighth grade...”
“What do you really remember from it?” she raised an eyebrow at me...
“Small details...”
“I don’t want small details; I want everything about this play! It will also help you become advanced in your reading in Italian! And don’t forget, there’s a quiz about this story, so read it carefully and understand it... If there are any misunderstood words ask your mom for an Italian-English dictionary, it will help... Have a good day!”
She went out as soon as she finished that sentence... More reading? I’m not in the mood! I love the story, but not in Italian! I’m so bad at reading this language... But I might as well become good at it. That way, my mom will be proud!
I started reading the story by 8 o’clock, right after I finished my homework... I figured that if I finished it early I will get more time to finish my Christmas assignments and more free time to spend with my friends.
“Honey!” my mom called from the kitchen. “Can you come down here for a second?”
I marked on the page I stopped, placed the book on my bookshelf, and headed downstairs...
“Is there something wrong?” I asked...
“No... I just wanted to ask you how was class today?”
“Good... She gave me a drop quiz and then a play to read... It’s really long!”
“What’s the name of
