Sharon ran to the door and answered it. Only to see her friend, Connor MacKenzie, at the door instead. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Oh, Connor. Hey." She greeted him apathetically.
"Hey yourself Sharon..." Connor responded as he eyed her suspiciously. "I was kind of expecting a warmer greeting considering we haven't hung out in a week."
Sharon sighed. "I'm sorry, Con. I am happy to see you. It's just... I was kind of expecting someone else."
"I see." Connor said, nodding his head. "So is Alden giving you a ride then? Because Alyson is gonna give me one. We're both running a little late, but she still insisted on seeing if you need a lift. But I guess you're ok if Alden is coming for you?"
Sharon looked at her watch. She was supposed to be at school in 7 minutes. But she hadn't heard back from Alden. She really didn't want to be terribly late on the first day of school. She decided to take Alyson up on her offer.
"Well he was supposed to. But I think he overslept because he hasn't been answering my calls. So it looks like I could use a lift after all."
"Ok then." Connor replied with a smile as Sharon followed him out the door. She sent Alden a quick text to let him know she was getting a ride from Alyson instead.
As Sharon approached her friend Alyson Malitski's car, Alyson eyed Sharon up and down from the drivers seat as she looked out the window and nodded her head in approval.
"Hey Sharon! Nice outfit."
"Thanks! Right back at you! And I'm so borrowing that dress sometime."
Alyson was wearing a white spaghetti strapped sundress with a pink floral print and brown lace-up knee boots with 3 inch heels. Her long light brown hair had subtle blonde highlights running through it.
Connor shook his head and chuckled. "Man, you would think we were going to Fashion Week instead of high school."
"Well that's the way Dion would see it." Sharon replied, as she got into the backseat of the car while Connor slid into the passenger side. They both buckled up.
"Speaking of Dion, how is he?" Alyson asked as she started driving. "It was great seeing him when he was back in Elkford for the summer."
"He's doing good. He's been back at FIT for about a week now. Oh and he just emailed me last night to let me know he's doing an internship with Marie Claire magazine for the fall! They really loved the work he did for his spring fashion portfolio last year. But he still plans on coming back to Elkford during the American Thanksgiving break. That's in late November."
Sharon told Connor and Alyson about her plan to be nice to all the new freshmen and make them feel as welcome as possible. They both liked her idea and decided they would do the same. Alyson was especially all for this since she knew firsthand how mean Nina could be. All those years she spent as Nina's "best friend" felt more like being her servant. The best decision Alyson ever made in her life was to ditch Nina so that she could date Connor and become friends with everyone in his circle. She was so happy to finally have friends who actually cared about her.
Once they arrived at Elkford High, the 3 teenagers got out of the car and approached the building. Alyson quickly pulled Sharon aside.
"You, me and Maria have to meet up after school if we don't all get the same lunch period. We have some questions about your weekend at the cottage with Alden."
"Ok." Sharon said with a smile. She was prepared to answer them. In fact, she was dying to tell the girls all about it! She just wished she could find Alden out here somewhere. He wasn't gonna miss the first day of school, was he? As she made her way to the doors, she bumped into someone and dropped her zebra print backpack.
"Sorry!" She cried out as she bent down to pick up her bag. Then she heard a voice she knew all too well.
"Watch where you're going, Braceface!"
Sharon turned around and saw Nina standing there with a scowl and her arms folded. She had to admit, Nina did look good. She was wearing a purple ruffled strapless dress and black stilettos with 6 inch heels. Her long red hair was pin straight and she had a black headband holding it in place.
She groaned at hearing the dreaded nickname Nina dubbed her with back in 8th grade when she first got her braces. "Nina, we've been over this. I don't have braces anymore. They were removed 2 years ago."
"Doesn't matter." Nina replied with a smirk. "You'll always be Braceface to anyone significant in this school."
Sharon stood and grumbled as Nina walked into the building. Pointing out that she no longer had braces to Nina always ended the same way. Nina would simply remind Sharon she'd never live down that horrible nickname. Suddenly, she couldn't wait for graduation. College had to be better than this.
When Sharon went to the main office for her class schedule, she also found out who she would be mentoring. She was pleasantly surprised to learn she already knew her! She didn't remember the name at first, but then she met up with her in the auditorium and immediately recognized Tracy! Tracy was a girl Sharon had met 3 years ago when she went to the dentist for a routine tightening of her braces. Tracy was freaked out about the possibility of needing braces, so Sharon helped calm her down by telling her stories about her own life. She had no idea Tracy would attend Elkford High. She hadn't changed one bit other than being a few inches taller. The 2 girls hugged when they were reunited.
"I'm so glad I was matched with you!" Tracy exclaimed. "I was so worried I was gonna get paired with someone mean who would torture me or try to make me their slave."
Sharon couldn't help but laugh to herself on the inside. "You sound just like I did on my first day of high school. But this place really isn't so bad. Tell you what? I'll introduce you to my friends after school. They're all really good people and they'll do what they can to help you out here. Just like me."
"That would be awesome! Thanks." Tracy replied. She was excited at the idea of having Senior friends.
"No problem. I believe you already met Alden, right?"
"Yes, I did. Did you guys finally get back together?"
Sharon giggled. "As a matter of fact, we did. Shortly after you and I met, he broke up with Marlo. Then we ended up getting back together that summer, after he admitted he still had feelings for me. And we've been going strong ever since."
"I knew it! You and Alden were totally meant to be! It's fate. Just like me ending up with you as my mentor after all these years. I mean, what are the chances? Right?"
Sharon nodded her head. "It's funny how life works out sometimes."
"Is he here right now?
"He should be. I'm pretty sure he said he signed up for the Senior mentor program too. But I haven't seen him all morning."
Sharon discreetly slid her phone out of her pocket, hoping no teacher would see her. No missed calls or messages from Alden. Maybe he was sick at home? But it's weird that he didn't call Sharon to tell her he wouldn't be in school today. She was starting to get really worried.
She hoped she and Alden would have at least one morning class together, but no such luck. When lunchtime came, she didn't see him in the cafeteria either. But she did see Maria and Alyson sitting at a table together! She knew they wanted details about what she did with Alden at his cottage. And she was ready to give them what they wanted! Sharon purchased a veggie burger, fries and soda then sat down to join her 2 favorite girls for lunch.
"There she is!" Her best friend, Maria Wong, exclaimed. Maria now had shoulder length hair that she usually wore down. Her red streaked strands were in the front, framing her face. She was wearing a short-sleeved red velour sweatshirt with matching sweatpants and white sneakers.
"Are your ears burning? Because we were just talking about you." Alyson declared.
"Really?" Sharon asked while raising an eyebrow.
"So spill, Spitz!" Maria demanded. "You and Alden were all alone at his cottage this weekend. Did you guys finally do the deed?"
Sharon blushed and looked down at her veggie burger. For some reason, she was suddenly feeling very self-conscious.
"Oh my God, you did! Didn't you?" Alyson squealed.
Sharon very shyly nodded her head. Her face was still red.
"Well, it's about time! I think our circle is virgin-free now. You and Alden were the last 2 left."
"So, how was it?" Maria asked.
"It was nice." Sharon said with a smile on her face.
"Nice? Boots are nice! Come on! We want the details! I told you everything about my first time." Alyson said, sounding annoyed.
"Well, it was nice! At least it was once we got past all the pain and awkwardness. And of course I had to get over the fact that Alden was seeing me completely naked. But he said he liked what he saw, so it was cool. Besides, I got to see him naked too. And he totally didn't disappoint, by the way! He has the perfect body. Overall, I'd say my first time was pretty special. That's all I ever wanted."
"Well, that's great. But I still think you're holding out on us, Spitz! Where's the dirt?" Maria asked.
"Dirt? What dirt? It was only our first time. It's not like we're ready for S&M yet." She decided not to tell the girls that she and Alden didn't use anything. The last thing she wanted was a lecture. And Maria was especially likely to give her one. As much as Sharon loved her best friend, she had a tendency to be judgmental. But she knew it was only because Maria cared and was looking out for her.
She then started wondering where Alden was again. She pulled her phone out of her pocket. She wasn't technically supposed to use it in the cafeteria, but this rule wasn't usually enforced.
"Just give me a second, guys." Sharon said as she called Alden's cell and then house phone. Still no answer. She decided to ask her friends about it.
"Have either of you seen Alden at all? He was supposed to give me a ride to school this morning, but he never showed up. You know it's not like him to flake like that. And I haven't seen him around school. He hasn't been answering any of my calls or texts either. I'm worried."
"No, I haven't seen him." Alyson answered.
"Me neither." Said Maria. "Maybe he's sick? And he could be sleeping, which would explain why he hasn't been answering your calls."
"Maybe. But I still think he would've called or texted as soon as he woke up not feeling well. He would've let me know he couldn't drive me to school."
Well, maybe Brock's talked to him." Maria said. "I'll check with him as soon as I get a chance."
"Thanks, I'd appreciate that." Sharon said as she smiled at her best friend.
When school let out, Sharon met up with Tracy, Maria, Brock, Connor and Alyson outside the high school building. She introduced Tracy to all her friends and they seemed to hit it off with her right away. Sharon was glad she made Tracy's first day of high school a little easier.
Eventually, Tracy, Connor and Alyson all had to go. This left Sharon, Maria and Brock all walking home together.
"So Brock..." Maria started saying. "Sharon and I were wondering if you've seen or heard from Alden today? He was supposed to go to Sharon's house this morning to drive her to school, but he never showed up. And he hasn't been answering any of her calls or texts. So we're both getting a little worried."
"Hmm.." Brock pondered. "I haven't seen him all day myself. And I've also tried calling and texting him. He hasn't answered me either"
Sharon sighed. "I really want to go over to his house, just to make sure he's ok. But I need to get back home and change the cat's litter box. My mom will kill me if I forget again! Plus, I have to make sure all my cats and dogs are fed since everyone's gonna be home late tonight."
"Well, I have some time." Brock said. "So I'll stop by his house quickly to find out what's going on. And I'll phone you as soon as I find out."
"Thanks, Brock." Sharon replied. "You're the best!"
"I know!" He responded with a grin.
Maria rolled her eyes. "Please, Sharon! Don't make his ego even bigger than it already is."
The 3 friends laughed as they continued walking. Sharon was the first stop. She said goodbye to Maria and Brock as she went into her house. She changed the cat's litter box and gave all her pets food and water. She was home for about half an hour before her phone rang. It was Maria. Maybe Brock gave her some news about Alden! She eagerly answered the cell.
"Maria? What's going on with Alden? Is he ok?"
"I don't know. Brock wants all of us to meet in his garage. He sounded upset. In fact, it sounded like he might've been crying. And you know Brock never cries!"
"Who's "all of us"?"
"Me, you, Carmen, Connor and Alyson. He left me in charge of contacting everyone."
Suddenly, Sharon had a terrible feeling in the pit of her stomach. Something felt very wrong.
"I'm leaving right now!" She exclaimed as she ran out the door, still on the phone.
"Ok, see you soon."
Both girls hung up. Sharon ran as fast as she could to Brock's house. She had to know what was going on! When she arrived at Brock's garage, she saw all the friends Brock asked for standing around. Brock had a somber expression on his face and looked like he had been crying. All the friends exchanged concerned glances. They had never seen Brock like this before. He was usually the clown of the group who always made everybody laugh.
"What's going on?" Sharon shouted. She didn't mean to yell, but the suspense was driving her crazy.
Brock started crying again. "I'm afraid I have some bad news..."
Sharon froze dead in her tracks and felt her heart stop. She didn't like where this was going...
