Fun Times at Marion High

Chapter Five

I was currently washing the purple dye out of my hair and washed my body after all the dye was out. I got out and dried my body, putting on my robe. I pulled out my red hair dye and went to work on my hair. I got up two hours early just to do this...I meant to last night but I was too upset about school to even bother.

I finished putting the dye in and had to wait 30 minutes until it was ready to be dried. I killed time by making pancakes, bacon and eggs for me and papa. I put two pancakes, four bacon strips and some eggs on my plate and my dad's plate, putting his in the microwave so he can eat it when he wakes up.

I ate my food in peace and once I was done I washed my dishes and went back to the bathroom to see the results of my hair. I unwrapped my hair from the towel holding it up and looked in the mirror. I grinned and squealed, happy with my new look.

I grabbed my phone and looked at the time. I have a hour and a half before school starts. I dried my hair with a blowdryer and straightened it. I walked into my bedroom and threw on my outfit and boots. I put on my necklace and bracelets and put on some eyeliner. I grabbed my bookbag, purse and phone and walked downstairs.

I brewed some coffee for dad and heated up his breakfast. Just as the coffee finished brewing dad walked in. I placed his breakfast on the table and made his coffee, setting it on the table also. Dad grabbed the newspaper from outside and walked into the kitchen, sitting down.

I smiled at him, "Morning dad, I made you breakfast."

He smiled at me and thanked me, digging into his food. I grabbed the apple juice out of the fridge and pour me glass, sitting beside dad. We chatted about his work and how school was going. I told him about the incident yesterday and he sighed.

I got up from my seat and said goodbye to dad, grabbing my keys and leaving the house. I got in my car and made my way to school.

I sighed as I walked into my third period class, knowing lunch would approach soon enough to bite me in the butt. I ignored everybody and anything, since I saw that Neil and Josh weren't in class either.

I'm by myself today, I guess...

I sat down in my usual seat and pulled my notebook and pencil out. I started drawing, waiting on the bell to ring and the teacher to start her lesson on whatever we were learning today.

"You look lonely," I heard an all too familiar voice say. I looked up and jumped out of my seat to hug Jeremy.

"How'd you get out of suspension?" I asked, looking at him suspiciously.

"My mom talked to the principal and pulled some strings," he said, shrugging like it was nothing. I smiled and noticed that Neil and Josh were in class.

They must've known the whole time....

Jeremy sat beside me in his usual sit and Neil kept nudging him during class. They would whisper and mouth things to each other but I just brushed it off.

The bell rung and I groaned not wanting to go to lunch. I got out of my seat slowly and grabbed my note book. I walked down the hall with Jeremy with Neil putting an arm over my shoulder. I rolled my eyes and pinched his ear.

"Maybe Mr. Westfall will eat Jeremy's lunch and not mine today, hm?" I playfully glared at Neil.

"Ow, fine fine. Let go of my ear oooow!" Neil cried. I smiled and let go, Neil running into the lunch room. Me and Jeremy walked into the packed cafeteria and almost immediately people started laughing.

I knew it....

I sighed and looked down, getting my lunch and sitting down by Josh. Jeremy arrived a few minutes later and sat beside me. Austin welcomed Jeremy back and Lacey and Josh were flirting again. I rolled my eyes at them and gagged.

"Neil stop stealing my fries!" Jeremy yelled to Neil, who was sitting across from him. I chuckled and instantly felt better now that Jeremy was back...

"Hey ketchup girl," I heard someone yell.

I looked behind me and saw a boy with dirty blonde hair spiked up. He wore a football varsity jacket and jeans that looked too tight in the wrong places. I recognized him as Tyler Mason, Emma's boyfriend.

"You changed your hair color. To resemble what was on shirt yesterday, yeah?" He smirked. I felt Jeremy turn and he stood up.

"What did you say to her?"

"Who are you, McKinnon? Her boyfriend?" I felt my face flush.

"What's it to you? Just leave her alone, got it?" Tyler rolled his eyes.

"Jeremy, stop, it's fine," I told him. He sighed and sat back down.

"I'm not done with you ketchup," Tyler said. I smirked to myself and stood up.

"What is it? What do you want? What did I do to you?" I asked.

"Emma doesn't like you, I don't like you. Nobody here likes you. Why don't you hop the border and go back to Mexico?"

I scoffed, "Hey Genius, for one I'm not illegal. Two, I'm not Mexican. Three, I'm from Spain and you would know that if your IQ wasn't 13."

That sent the cafeteria in up roar. Tyler got mad and raised his hand to me.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," I heard a woman say. I smirked, bingo.

He looked up to be met by our principal. He lowered his hand and I walked back to my seat. The principal calling Tyler to follow her.

"Have fun 13," I called back. The cafeteria laughed again.

Sweet revenge...

"I'll see you guys later," I called out to Natalia, Carson and Lacey. I walked over to my car and threw my bookbag inside. Jeremy walked towards me and I smiled.

"Hey," he said, putting his hands in his pockets.

"What's up?" I asked, looking up at him.

"I wanted to know if you....uhh..maybe Saturday, wanted to.....go on a date with me?" he looked down at his shoes.

I blushed and smiled, "I would love to, Jeremy."

He looked up with a shocked yet happy expression on his face. He smiled and kisses my cheek lightly, causing my face to flush more than it already was.

"I'll see you tomorrow then," he said. I nodded and we said goodbye. I got in my car and started the engine. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw Jeremy fist pump then high five Neil and Josh.
