Yet to Come - discontinued

"Rielle, hurry your ass up!" My best friend Melanie yells at my other best friend.

Rielle comes stomping down the stairs, "don't you know beauty takes time?" She tucks her curled blonde hair behind her ear and starts walking towards the door.

She is wearing a small pink skirt and a cute top. It makes her already perfect body even more perfect.

Melanie is wearing a yellow top with poofy short sleeves and jean shorts she embroidered yellow flowers on herself. The outfit looked amazing with her breath taking curves.

I look down at my pleated khaki shorts and short sleeve button up.

I could never see myself dressing like Rielle or Melanie. The outfits would make me stand out too much and don't like the attention.

Rielle stops with her hand on the doorknob, "are you two just gonna stand there now that I'm finally ready to go?"

Melanie leans toward my ear, "how long do you think it will take her to realize she forgot to put on shoes?"

I glanced over at Rielle to see her bare feet, "I give it about 30 seconds."

We both laugh. I look over and see Rielle with a dumbfounded look on her face. About 30 seconds later she looks down at her feet.

"Oh shit, I forgot to put on shoes again," she starts to jog up the stairs.

"Called it!" I exclaim.

Melanie and I start dying from laughter.

I know it really isn't that funny but to us it is because Rielle forgets to put on her shoes at least once a week, if not more.

One day she made it all the way to school before realizing she forgot. Our school wouldn't let her go home to get a pair so she had to borrow some from the lost and found. Most people don't lose their shoes because they're on their feet so the lost and found had a limited selection. She had to clomp around all day with shoes 3 sizes too big.

You could say the dumb blonde stereotype is true.

Rielle came back downstairs with pink heels that matched her skirt. Why she wears heels to school is something I will never understand.

We head out to Melanie's old hand me down car. In our friend group, Melanie is basically the chauffeur because she's the only one who can drive. Rielle can't because as I said, she's a dumb blonde and I can't because I'm too scared to even try.

We made it to school and we all went our separate ways. I am now about to leave my third period math class.

"Miss Bennet, could you stay back for a moment?" My teacher asks while I'm in the process of grabbing my things on the desk I was sitting in.

I wait until the room is mostly empty before making my way up to the teacher who is seated at a large, cluttered desk.

She looks up and smiles at me, "Do you think you would be interested in tutoring this year? It can help with college applications."

"Umm, I don't know if I'm good enough at math to tutor someone," I say nervously. I always get nervous when talking to teachers for some reason.

"Cassia, you're one of my best students and that's why I'm asking you. But if you don't feel up to it I can always offer the role to someone else," she replies.

I think for a moment, "I guess I can." I give her a smile and she returns one.

She opens up a planner with a floral design on the outside and pushes her purple cheaters further up her nose, "what days do you think would work best for you?"

"Tuesday's and Wednesday's I'm always free on, but any other day could work too."

My teacher scribbles something down in her book, "Perfect, can you come in right after school today so I can give you some materials and you can meet who you'll be tutoring?"

"Sure," I give her another smile before starting to walk towards the door, "have a great day!"

"You too Miss Bennet and thank you so much for volunteering!" We give each other a wave goodbye before I exit the classroom and turn down the hallway.

When I make the turn I run right into someone. He was too busy on his phone and wasn't paying attention to where he was going.

"Shit, sorry," I say, scrambling to pick up my things I had dropped on the floor.

He brushes his dark curls away from his face. Hazel eyes look down at me. He rolls them and walks away not even bothering to help me pick up my things.

Asshole.

I continue on with my day and it seems to go by in a flash. I walk down the hall until I find the door to my math class. I head inside.

"Oh good, you're here!" My teacher said as I make it through the door, "Ethan, Cassia, Cassia, Ethan" she gestures between me and the guy I will be tutoring.

I look at him. Oh great, the asshole with the hazel eyes.

This is going to be a fucking nightmare.

I smile and hold out my hand for Ethan to shake, "Hi, nice to meet you."

He looks at my hand for a moment before shaking it. "Hi," he replies.

After a short conversation with our teacher we are now walking down the hall. We exit the building together and I head to Melanie's car.

I told her at lunch I would be a little late and she didn't mind.

I buckle into my seat and we begin the journey to my house.
