Past before present

Willow- A lot has happened in these past seven years after high school, I wonder where I would have been if nothing to dramatic happened back in BridgePort High School. Only, if I stayed and never drifted from the path in which my parents wanted me to take. Before I get ahead of myself, let me take you back to what happened my junior year of high school.

Tina Vanderwood (Willow’s mom)- “ Williow are you ready to leave for school? Since, if we don’t leave now you are going to be late.”

Williow Vanderwood - Age sixteen, 164cm, track team captain, shy, average looks, in love with this boy in her school, and has good grades. “One more minute mom, I’ll be down soon.” Williow says in her head- Ahh really, do I have to go to school right this second I was having a good dream. Ian (details about him later) finally confessed that he liked me and was going to kiss me.... sigh....sadly before he kissed me my mom had to go waking me up. Don’t get me wrong I’m all for getting up early at five in the morning to start my day. But sometimes, as a teenage female with a lot of hormones running through her body right now just wants to take an extra half an hour to fantasize about having a love life. Yeah, as if that’s going to happen...chuckle....yes, I am single and I have never had a boyfriend before. It’s not like I never wanted one before or that my parents are anti boyfriend’s or anything like that it’s just that the boys I like just happen to be on a whole different level then me. For example, I am the type of girl who has frizzy, wavy, and vibrant orange hair, light brown eyes, fair skin, and has a ton of pimples. Additionally, I like to wear sporty clothing so a solid color t-shirt that is tucked into a pair of black or blue jeans. Not that there is anything wrong with my style but it’s just not anything over the top which is why I am considered average looking.

Tina Vanderwood-“Williow, it’s already been five minutes! Get your *** down here now otherwise you will be taking the bus to school.”

Williow Vanderwood-“I’m coming mom! I’m running down the stairs as we speak.”

Williow’s mom drove Williow to BridgePort High School, where Williow was welcomed by her two friends Bridget Flime and Taylor Hunter.

Bridget Flime- Williow’s best friend from fifth grade. She has long, shinny, and curly blond hair along with crystal blue eyes, and is light skinned. She has a boyfriend named Justin Winter (details later) who is a freshman at Hartford University, she is 159cm, Williow’s wing woman on the track team, does not do well in school, and has a job at a local convenience store. “Hey Williow, what took you so long to get here? It’s already 7am. You remember that school starts in 30 minutes right? And in that time you promised to help me study an hour before our physics test.”

Williow Vanderwood-“I’m sorry Bridget, I was having that dream all over again. Hence, why I am late today. Please, forgive me, I will give you the best half an hour cram session that I can.”

Taylor Hunter- Williow’s closet guy friend since seventh grade. He has messy and short dark brown hair, hazel eyes, nice jawline, olive skin, 168cm, fit, and is on the boy’s lacrosse team. He confessed to Williow back in ninth grade but was shot down, secretly still likes her, and has complicated family issues. “Williow, I don’t know why you keep trying to help Bridget on her exams. It’s not like anything you actually try teach her improves her grade anyways. I think she is a lost cause and you should just give up.”

Williow Vanderwood- “Everyone learns at different paces, her’s just so happens to take longer than yours or mine.”

Taylor Hunter avoids the comment. “Well we best be getting to class before we get in trouble.”

Williow, Vanderwood, Taylor Hunter, and Bridget Flime all walk to class. (Side note, yes Taylor and Bridget are the same age as Williow and are in the same class) They all enter room B-23 When Williow Vanderwood sees Ian in her class.

Williow Vanderwood wispires “Hey Bridget and Taylor do you know why Ian is in our class?”

Taylor Hunter wispires “Maybe, he flunked out last year and needed to repeat? I still don’t know why you are so hung up on him anyway. He is just one of those types who act like they deserve the attention. He just wants everyone to fight over him.”

Williow Vanderwood punches Taylor’s arm lightly in a joking type manner and wispires “ Hah, hah very funny Taylor. But, to be honest I don’t know why I like him? Maybe, it is because he seems to be perfect at everything, that I am just so curious to find out what he is not good at or what will make him snap and loss his cool.”

Bridget Flime “Mysterious and handsome, what an interesting type you like indeed Williow. I’m rutting for you to go snatch him and make him fall for you.”

Williow laughs and all three of them finally moves away from the door and sits down in class. (Note: Williow sits in front of the room while Bridget and Taylor sit all the way in the back right next to each other)While waiting for the last few minutes of class to begin Williow hands Bridget a piece of paper with sample problems for her to solve. While, in the mean time Williow is trying to sit cutely in her desk reading a steamy romance book and trying to secretly steal glances at Ian. She keeps thinking to herself “Why is Ian here? Why is he here?” Then all of a sudden the teacher comes in.
