I had been awoken from my sleep at the sudden soul crushing buzz of my alarm clock. I fumbled around my oak wood nightstand to find the clock, finally hitting snooze but it continued to sing it's annoying song.
"Ohh my goddd, five more minutes jesus!"
I groaned. Eventually sliding out of the comfort of my warm bed I walked towards my closet when a sudden sharp pain went through the tip of my foot.
" Mother fucker!!"
I cursed.
hobbling into my closet as if I had tripped over a chainsaw, I only stubbed my toe but we all know how that feels.
It was the first day of senior year
And I wanted to make an impression- new year new me and all that jazz. though I knew people wouldn't be paying attention to me, of course. They'd be too busy drooling over the new foreign exchange student we're supposed to be getting this year.Every year my school brings in a new student from some foreign place, and every year it's some prep boy who thinks he's the hot shit because he came here on some program. I wouldn't even come to this school if you payed me personally. I live in Pennsylvania and my school is in the middle of nowhere. They're always from somewhere different than the previous student before them, this year I'm pretty sure it's Russia. From what I heard he's pretty intense, and maybe like totally hot.
I only know this because I'm friends with the biggest gossip in town, Abby. I love her, but unless you were close with this girl she could not keep a secret even if her life depended on it.
I was pulling on my skirt that I was a little scared to get dress coded in because it was on the shorter side when my phone started buzzing. Abby was texting me.
"Abby<3: I'm outside waiting in the car hurry your ass up!"
Why was she here so early?
"Me: Okayyy I'll be out in a minute, I woke up late. Why are you in such a hurry anyways?"
"Abby<3: Exchange student is like totes hot. I wanna meet him before all the school thots start busting out their crusty thongs and triple push-up bras!"
I giggled at her snarky texts and quickly replied.
" Me: Alright be out in ten<3"I curled my hair and applied some makeup that consisted of some concealer, lip gloss, and mascara. Abby was always on my ass about trying fake lashes but it takes too long to apply and I always end up almost stabbing my eye out.
I hurried downstairs like my ass was on fire. My mom was baking pancakes in the kitchen. The smell lingered in my nose and it was so irresistibly sweet I'm sure Abby wouldn't mind if I took an extra five minutes. I said smirking knowing she would definitely mind.
I skipped into the kitchen and kissed my moms cheek. I swiped one of the pancakes and quickly gathered my backpack and things I needed for the day.
"Have a great day at school my little senior! I love you!"
My mom screamed as I made my way to the door.
" I love you too mom,Bye!"
I replied stuffing my mouth full of fluffy pancakes.
" Be nice! And oh, don't let Abby drive!"
She added just as I was leaving.
Let's just say Abby was no professional driver. I'm amazed that she was even allowed to get her license in the first place.
I left my regular 3 story house and made my way to Abby's jeep. I got in and shut the door.
Little did she know, this was a few hours before She met the person that would completely turn her life upside down.
