Julie was perfect – Creative Writing

Julie was perfect. She was smart, popular and pretty. Her naturally fair hair was professionally styled at least once a week and her size eight purpose was always gloved in designer labels heard of wholly in magazines, brought for her on Daddys credit card. She was snarly within the school police squads and clubs, including gymnastics and dance, as well as all of the social clubs and school politics.Jen was outlying(prenominal) from this. She was what would be referred to as bad. Her dyed black hair that was worn so that half of her take apportion could non be seen and she always wore uniform black. She was the kind of person that r bely made an appearance at school, let al unrivalled at anything extra curricular. She spent her entire life drinking, smoking and getting steep.Dom would contribute called himself whiz of the cool guys but everyone else would have called him a jock. He was captain of the football team and head of his gang. They were all members of the footbal l team and spent their free time taunting or punching one another mindlessly. When he was away from his gang, he spent his time acting too cool for anyone else.Brian was one of the cleaver ones. He was a straight A student who enjoyed extra curricular activities like acquirement and chess club. The only thing that he was not good at was sport. Whatever he tried, he pay heeded gawky and awkward. Everyone saw him as a geek or a nerd and I chew over the fact that he wore trousers that were slightly too short for him and glasses didnt help.These four people had nothing in common apart from the fact that they had to sh be a chalet on a skiing holiday nonionised by the school. t here(predicate) had been a mix up with numbers meaning that none of them could share with their friends. There was no television or radio and no one was to leave their chalet aft(prenominal) eight in the evening unless there was an activity.After the first day of skiing, neither Julie, Dom nor Brian wanted t o leave their friends. Jen, who had no friends that had recognize on the holiday, was busy having a smoke out of the window with her Walkman turned up. She didnt hear Mr Bowdon, their incredibly uncompromising PE teacher come in to the chalet.What do you think your doing, Ms. Parker? Mr. Bowdon shrieked red with fury.Jen turned off her Walkman and spoke. What does it look like Im doing? She said sarcastically.It looks like your trying to get yourself banned from the slopes, Mr. Bowdon remarked snidelyWhat do I care? Skiing is mind-numbingly boring I only came to pick up some cheap smokes and booze Jen laughed, Besides, where are the princess, the jock and the geek that I have to share this place with? I bet there with their friends and its later on eight So, instead of wasting your time with no-hopers like me, why dont you guide them into doing the right thing, isnt that what you say your stemma is?Her words oozed with contempt. Mr. Bowdon looked at her but she stared him out. E ventually he turned and went in search for the others.For the rest of the week, Mr. Bowdon kept an eye on all four of them and caught them out many times. By the second to last evening, he had had enough. He called them all in to his chalet and banned them from spending their last day on the slopes. There was an grade of moans and groans but it was clear that Mr. Bowdons word was final. They were to be supervised by Mr. Bowdons wife who was not a skier and would have to spend the day with only each other for company. Everyone knew that tomorrow would be steadfastly.They were woken at six in the morning for breakfast, which was to be eaten on a solitary table laid salutary for the four of them. Jen was the only one to speak through breakfast. She spent the whole time complaining about being stuck with a bunch of losers for the whole day.When they had finished breakfast, they were instructed to go back to their chalet and to stay there until they were told otherwise.This is so unf air, all I wanted to do was to spend my holiday with my friends, and now Im stuck in here for the day, Julie whinedOh shut up princess, just because you cant go running to Daddy taunted Jen.Leave her alone, arguings a waste of time because you cant walk away, your stuck in here all day whether you like it or not, Said Brian shyly.This is none of your business, Geek, jeered Jen and, with that, she lit up a cigarette and began to inhale deeply.Just as Jen had thrown the cigarette butt out the window, a hard faced woman came into their chalet without so much as a knock. She informed them that she was Mrs. Bowdon and that she would be surprising them with visits passim the day and, as swiftly as she entered, she left.God, no wonder Mr. Bowdons so bitter with that witch as a wife, sniggered Jen.For the first time, Julie and Jen made eye contact and smiled.So, why do you waste so much of your free time in clubs then? asked Jen.Leave her alone, warned Dom.No Im being serious, why?I dont k now, its just what me and my friends have always done. Besides, its not so bad Julie answered unconvincingly.There was an awkward silence. Julie began to study her french manicure and the others started to fidget. After a while, Dom crossed the room to talk to Julie.Hey Dom said with ease.Hi Julie said, surprised.Aww, the Jock and the Princess, what a prefect match Jen jeered.Shut up They all said in unison.Its a free country She retaliated.why are you always so sarcastic, Jen? Julie asked, I think its just a front. I think that you are so scared about letting anyone see your feelings, that you cover them up with jokes and sarcasm.Shut up Julie. Yeah, so I dont show emotions, so what? Besides you can hardly talk. Everything about you is fake. Your so fake that you credibly dont even know who you are anymore. So maybe I do hide emotions but Id kinda do that then have everyone know my personal business. Jen shouted and, with that, she went into their room and slammed the door.You kn ow, shes right. Brian said timidly, Every bingle one of us puts on a front.And what front do you put on then? Dom mockedYou know, Im not as good as you think I am, Brian said, a poor braver than last time.As if on cue, Jen entered the room again. Her gothic make up was freshly applied to red, blotchy eyes and her infamous regular army boots had been removed, as had a little bit of her front.So, what have you done thats so bad? Jen asked with a fond smile on her face for the first time.Well, Ive smoked a cigarette and I got a little bit drunk at my cousions wedding, Brian said nervously.Hey, I know whatll make the day pass quicker Jen said with a glint in her eye.With that, Jen ran to her room to fetch something. The others looked at each other nervously. She returned with a tightly wrapped package.Is that drugs? Brian asked nervously.Its only pot, its not gonna kill ya, Jen saidWell, ok then, Brian said reluctantly.Are you guys in? Pushed Jen.Julie and Dom looked at each other. A fter a few minutes they agreed. They all sat around in a circle and watched Jen expertly roll it. After it was lit, they passed it around. Everyone accept for Jen coughed violently on their first drag, and, after it had been passed around a few times, they were too relaxed to careThey spent hours talking mindlessly and becoming relaxed in each others company until it wore off. When it did wear off, the fronts that they had been putting on for so many years also wore off.
