Prologue

The Big Day is Finally here

Bex's P.O.V.

This is it. The big day is finally here. I am fifteen years old and I am ready. Ready for what? You might ask. I'm ready for High school! I have been waiting for this for as long as I can remember. Okay, a year...Ever since the wedding all I have wanted to do is go to school. A normal High school for normal teenagers. I know, I know, I am far from a normal teenager, but I can at least pretend, right? Someone say right...

I have asked mom before if I could go to a public school, she said no. I don't see what the big fuss is about, it's not like public schools will kill me or anything. I think she's just always been scared of losing me or some other parent shit like that. But, now she has Duncan and the twins. It was actually Duncan who gave me the okay to go to High school.

~Flashback~

"Mom?" I placed my hand on her shoulder and I heard her sniffle a few times before answering me.

"Yeah." She was folding the laundry. She never folded the laundry. Mom had been acting weird ever since she lost the baby. She had, had a miscarriage five and a half months after she got pregnant on her honeymoon. It was tragic for all of us, we had been looking forward to a new baby. Well, mom, Duncan and the twits, I mean twins, had been.

"N-never mind, I'll go ask Duncan." I said, leaving her in peace. I hated seeing her like that, it tore me in two. Mom had always been there for me and I wanted to be there for her, but I had no idea how to be. The best thing I could so was stay out of her hair for a little while, so High school was the perfect place to go.

I waltzed over to Duncan in the kitchen, pretending to be majorly happy about something or other. He gave me a look that said 'mental patient alert'.

"Duuuuuncaaaaan." I called his name out, wrapping my arm around his shoulder. "I know you love me."

"I do?" He teased, going back to his newspaper. I swear that's all he ever does is read that dang thing!

"Yeah, ya do." I told him. "Well, because you love me so much-"

"How much is gonna cost?"

"Not much! I promise." I said, hoping to win him over. "I just want to know if you'll apply me for High school." He started to choke on his OJ.

"H-high school?" He asked, spitting the drink back in the glass.

"Yeah, High school." I smiled sweetly, running my fingers up and down his back.

"Why do you want to go to High school?" My face dropped, when ever he asked 'why', I knew he didn't want me to go. "High school is shit, Becky, you don't wanna go there, trust me, I've been."

"Times have changed, daddy-o, High school isn't a place where you went." What the hell had I just said?

"Oh, it isn't. I know it isn't. High school is now a place for more young guys with hormonal issues can pray on my eldest daughter."

"DUNCAN!" I screamed. He wasn't over the fact that I now had a boyfriend and was scared that every boy I meet will be over me...Okay, that part is kinda true. Guys to intend to be 'all over me', but I can't help that and Duncan can't protect me against every single one of them. Plus, I'm happy with Darren, I wouldn't dare look at another guy.

"And what High school do you want to go to?"

"The one across town, it's not too far away and the people there will close to me in case I make new friends."

"You, make friends?" He laughed. "Joke of the day, Bex, joke of the day." I playfully slapped him upside the head.

"I'm serious!" I whined. I really wanted to go to High school.

"Okay, okay, what did Courtney say when you asked her?"

"I didn't..." I mumbled, trailing off.

"Of course you didn't, you want me to do it."

"You know me so well." I said, ruffling his green mohawk. I gave him a quick squeeze and skipped out the door. "I love you, Duncan." I was going to High school!

~Flashback Over~

Duncan talked it over with mom that night, she wasn't in the mood to say now, so I was going to High school! I was over the moon excited about it. I had never been to a school before and I had no idea what to expect. It was crazy.

As soon as Duncan told me the good news, I called Darren to tell him. However, he wasn't as thrilled as I was. In fact, he hated the idea of me going to High school.

"Babe, why do you want to go to High school?" He said it like it was some sort of filth.

"Darren, I want to go, can we just leave it at that. If you really wanted whats best for me, like a normal boyfriend would, then you'd let me go." I was giving puppy dog eyes down the phone, even though I knew he couldn't see me. "Please."

"NO!" He shouted, making me shift on my bed uncomfortably. "I don't want you going to a place where any guy could get his claws on you and then I'll-"

"Is that what this is about?" I cut across him. "You're scared of me going off with some other guy?" Silence. I'd hit a raw nerve with him. "I thought we had trust, Darren, but obviously we don't. We can't have a relationship without trust."

"Bex, I-" But I hung up. That was our first proper argument. We'd been together for a year and we had never fought over anything. Then a stupid thing like High school got in between us. Luckily, Darren called back a few dyas later.

"Bex, baby, I'm sorry." He pleaded down the phone for my forgiveness. "I love you and I'm just scared of losing you, that's all."

"I love you, too. But, you're not losing me." I said, twisting my hair around my fingers, it was something I did when I was nervous.

"I know that now, so I want you to go to High school." He said, I smiled. I smiled brighter than I had ever smiled before. Having Darren's approval was worth more to me than anyone else's.

"Thank you." I giggled, still playing with my hair. "But, for the record, I was gonna go anyway."

"Whatever." He laughed and soon the two of us were just cracking up on the phone.

I had to wait a week after I applied to actually go to the school. I guessed it was something to do with seeing if there was any room, but wasn't entirely sure. However, exactly one week after Duncan had taken me down to fill out the forms, we got the call and I had made it in. Waiting for that call had been worse than when I had to wait for the call to get into that film with Tom Cruise(which I didn't get in!), but it was worth it in the end. I was going to High school!

A/N: Well...Bex seems happy about that, doesn't she? ;) LOL!

I hope you like the idea of this story :) I know I do, but that's because I think Bex is the best character I have ever created :) LOL!

Just be warned, I have never been to High school...I am assuming it's like a comprehensive school(which is what I go to), but no promises to that...LOL! I shall try my best :)
