Chapter 1
"Rita where are you I need to finish painting your portrait!"
Rita grabs her skateboard and heads downstairs and puts her skateboard in her backpack. "Me-me I gotta get to school!"
Rita was not really looking forward at Harry Herpson high where she would be a new freshman. It was bad enough her Me-me was throwing a house warming party this coming weekend and inviting everyone from the block. Her grandma, Mary puts down her paintbrush. "Okay,my flower I'll take you to school."
Rita watches her Me-me put her salt and pepper colored hair into a loose bun and slip on her shoes.
They drive to school,Rita secretly wished her parents could be here at this moment to see their little girl go off to high school but they robbed a bank when she was six and decided to leave her with her Me-me. Rita couldn't make herself ever go visit them in jail not even give them a phone call. In a way she resented them for doing it. Yet her grandma has done everything for her. "Okay love you Me-me, don't drink the rum while I'm gone."
Rita gets assigned a locker as she noticed nobody even bothering to ask her anything, but she likes it better that way. She studies the yellow roses painted on the bottom of her skateboard with the words Heart Breaker scrawled across it before she put it up in her locker.
Rita heads to her first class of the day...Math class...
She typically liked math for some reason the numbers appeared to her like a giant puzzle.
She walks into Mr. Goldenfold's classroom, where the tall dark man stood, "Hi there you must be the new transfer, I'm your math teacher Mr.Goldenfold."
Luckily Rita took a tour of the school before she was oficially enrolled.
"I'm Rita Hope."
Mr. Goldldenfold points to the rest of the seats at the back of the room."why don't you take a seat and join us."
Rita glances at what the other girls were wearing: skirts,tight shirts,jewlery makeup.
Rita takes a seat at the back looking at her own chlothes, purple plaid shirt with a pair of blue jeans and tan military style boots.
She combs her black hair back into a french braid. Halfway through the class as Mr.Goldberg drones on about math, somebody throws a small wad of paper at her from her left. She looks around then opens it, "Hi, I'm Morty Smith."
She cranes her head to rhe left to see a yellow shirted boy, he slightly waves a hand, she rolls her eyes, tosses the ball back, and mouths 'I don't have time for boys.'
Morty shrugs, she sighs and motions for him to toss the paper ball back. She then scrawls on it, I don't have time for boys.
Rita tosses the ball back to Morty. He reads it then frowns. She sinks down into her desk and begins to read from the textbook that was issued to Rita's desk number.
Lunch time rolls around and Rita decides to try the school food. She gets the tray and notices it looks horrible. Canned greenbeans, a slice of meatloaf, ketchup packets, and a small scoop of fruit.
"Hey, you can hang out with us." A older girl by the looks of it definately upper classmen calls out to Rita.
Rita looks for the voice to come across a red head in a purple top, Rita reaches for the back of her head, knowing how shy she is. "I'm good I uh got people to eat with thanks..."
The fact is she didn't have people to eat with and by the looks of it the girl seemed prissy, Rita decides to pick a secluded table that nobody would notice her at near the back of the lunch room. She pulls out her biography on Tony Hawk and continues to read it as she begins to eat. If she wanted to become the world's most famous skateboarding/artist girl she had to read how the most famous skateboarders started out.
