Forever and Always

four

The first day of classes was fine, just like any other first day. The uniform, however, was probably the worst thing I've ever put on my body. It was a forrest green sweater or blouse with a tan skirt. You can also wear a plain white blouse under the sweater or plain black anything. The sweater had the schools logo, a wreath with a creek running through the middle.

It was so uncomfortable and the skirt was just weirdly short. Most girls wore white or black thigh high socks under the skirt, which either looked horrible or cute.

"Can I sit here?" A brunette girl who has shoulder length hair, questions.

"Yeah of course," I move my bag off the chair that's next to me. I was in the library, just going over the last syllabus and making sure I had everything I needed for school.

"I'm Elena Fox," the girl says as she sets her bag and papers down.

"Elliot," I extend my hand out to her and we shake hands lightly before refocusing on our papers.

I look up to see Raygan strutting into the library and coming to stand next to me. "Elli, we are going to get food right the fuck now because it's 8:30 and you're focusing on school,"

"Okay chill, but Elena, wanna come?" I turn to the girl on my right and she nods her head, gathering her things. "Raygan, Elena, Elena, Raygan," I introduce the girls to each other and they both smile slightly.

We all walk to the cafeteria that really isn't just a cafeteria, it's more of a dining hall. "I just met Elena in the library and she seems pretty cool so we're all gonna become friends or I have nobody," I tell them both as we grab some food, it was chicken breast and broccoli.

"I saw you here last year, are you a sophomore or junior?" Raygan asks Elena.

"I'm actually a senior but I skipped 5th grade a while back so I'm the same age as you guys," Elena explains, shyly. Yeah, Raygan and I are going to have a lot of fun breaking her out of her shell.

I nod as we sit down next to Bo, who was chatting with whoever the poor girl was next to him.

"Elliot!" Bo exclaims a little too loudly.

"Stop ear raping the poor girl," I laugh as I'm sitting down and the girl, who I think is named Grace, sends a thankful look.

"Well she's absolutely gorgeous, so I was poorly attempting to get a date," Bo says as he looks up, "oh my god, who's this beautiful lady next to you?"

"That's Elena and you already met Raygan. My new best friends," I honestly felt kind of bad and like I was replacing Lilah. But nobody could replace her. She's been here since day 153. Not kidding, we've known each other since we were 153 days old.

Bo introduces himself to Raygan and then Elena. Saying that "I only make pretty friends,"

"You're not pretty Bo so obviously I don't only attract pretty people," I tease.

Bo's eyes widen and he gasps, holding his hand to his heart, "How dare you say that I'm not pretty! I'm practically the most beautiful person you've ever met,"

Raygan, Elena, and I all let out loud laughs at Bo. Who is giving us all death glares.

"Anyway, how was your first day of official classes at Monarch?" Elena focuses the attention on me.

"Well this random girl came up to me, saying that I must've paid my way into getting roomed with Atlas and then a guy asked if I could flash him for an 'experiment'. I proceeded to kick him in the dick," Bo let out a nervous chuckle, covering his jewels.
