like a railroad

001

I woke up to the annoying sound of my alarm. I hit my phone angrily and rolled out of bed dragging the bed covers off with me. It was especially cold this morning. I lived in Beverly Hills with my cousin Aaron Hull. "Ella get yo ass up!" He yelled from the door throwing a pillow at me. "I'm already up dude." I said rolling my eyes slightly .

I got up and put on a grey tank top and threw on an old grey Nautica crewneck of my dads, I matched it with blue work out shorts and white high air force 1s. I left my hair down and put on mascara and aquaphor.

I made myself an iced coffee and picked up a banana from the plastic case on the counter. I grabbed my black backpack and walked into the garage, unlocking my red sports car and hopping into the smooth leather seats. I reversed out of the garage and closed it. The inside of the house was cold, but the weather outside was beautiful. I put on my playlist and the song 'Them Changes' by Thundercat started playing.

I drove down the long driveway and closed the gates. As I drove by I noticed that the Lily of the Valleys were looking a little slumped and made a mental note in my head to have the gardener fix it.

I may not live in the real world, but I try to donate at a minimum 5,000 dollars to charity every month, always go to work at the center, and work at the shelter pretty often.

About 10 minutes later, I arrived at my best friends house, Avani Gregg. She walked out of her house wearing a light green Set Active workout set with jordan mochas on. She had her hair on the top of her head in a high ponytail that framed her high cheekbones and her backpack was slung over her shoulder.

She hoped over the passenger side door and sat back in her seat, opening TikTok to film a video before school.

Once we arrived, I parked the car in my spot, put the roof of the car up, and locked the doors. We walked inside and met up at the lockers with Anthony Reeves, Josh Richards, and Amelie Zilber. "Hey shawty, whats yo name whats yo number?" I said, nodding my head towards Amelie and winking. "Just get married already." Avani said, eyeing us. "Ooh, can I be a bridesmaid?" Josh asked with a pleading look in his eyes. "Of course baby" I said cupping his face in my hands and smiling.

The warning bell rang, so me, Avani, and Amelie walked to our first period (French) and got settled down. I sat in the middle row with Amelie on my far right, and Avani two rows behind me. Stupid seating chart.

The bell rang and the class got silent as the teacher walked in telling us to flip to page 246. There was a knock at the door and Mr.Louis looked through the window and opened it. Then he walked in. Vinnie Hacker, fuckboy of the school. The teacher held out his hand, and Vinnie handed him a tardy slip. He proceeded to walk to his assigned seat to the left of me and whisper in my ear, "bonjour bel ange" I fake smiled at him, and looked towards the front of the class ignoring him. He fake pouted and settled into his seat, sneaking glances at me all class.

After the bell rang I stood up and he left a peck on my cheek. What an asshole. I hated him. It was the way every girl at fawned over him like a celebrity, the way he flirted with every girl with a heartbeat, the way when we were talking, everybody at school would glance at us every second they got.

A few hours later, it was lunchtime and I couldn't have been happier. I sat down at my table with my friends and Vincent, and sat eating my uncrustabke, and bottle of water. I got a text on my phone saying:

Vinnie got up and I watched as two minutes passed on the clock. I told my friends that I had to go to the bathroom and left the cafeteria, heading out to the locker room.

Suddenly a hand grabbed my arm, and pulled me into the locker room. His hands cupped my face messing up the front of my hair. I slid my tongue into his mouth, and moved my hands through his curls.

Vinnie pulled away and left a kiss on my forehead. "How long do we have before next class?" He asked, his voice a whisper. "Don't know, don't care." I said, pulling him back into the kiss. He kissed and pushed me into the door and locked it.

I was kissing Vincent Cole Hacker at school. Again.

We continued making out until I could feel my lips starting to swell. "Alright alright." I laughed a bit and he began to laugh too.

We walked out together making our way back to the cafeteria. As we sat down, we made some excuse about how Coach Smith made us carry some boxes to the gymnasium from the front office.

School was finally over and I drove back with Avani stopping to get some Chipotle on the way. As we pulled into the garage Avani and I grabbed our backpacks and made our way to my room. We finished our homework and Avani decided to stay over because it was a Friday evening.
