"I will catch you if you fall"

A R I A N A

I scurried through the halls of high school trying to get to my next class, history. My worst subject.

Heels didn't really help me in my situation, but I was fast. Only problem was my balance. I guess I wasn't paying any attention to where I was going but I ran into an extremely hard chest.

"Oof" I almost fell backwards onto the ground when an arm grabbed mine pulling me up with little force, I was impressed. I mean I was midway falling to a very bad bruise on my nonexistent ass.

"Are you okay?" The tall guy asked, still holding my arm.

I looked up and opened my mouth but nothing came out. Justin Bieber. Of course it had to be him. The player of the school.

I slowly wiggled out of his grip, I guess he noticed and he let go. "Yeah.." I simply said, grabbing my bag off of the floor.

"A thank you would be nice" he crossed his arms, his brown eyes piercing into mine. Some of his friends snickered behind him.

I scoffed and rolled my eyes, brushing my skirt off from any dirt. "People like you don't deserve thank you's" I walked past him, trying to avoid further conversation.

He shook his head "Whatever." We both walked in opposite directions from each other to our next class.

I was about to be late, I couldn't afford a tardy on my attendance this year or I would never hear the end of it from my mom.

Stupid Justin Bieber.

The bell rang and I groaned loudly. Nobody was around so I searched through my bag until I found what I was looking for. The pack of blank unfilled tardy passes.

I filled it out, almost finished. I was about to finish writing my last name when I was interrupted.

"Ms. Grande? May I ask why you are not in class, filling out a tardy pass?" Ms. Jarcogran asked tapping her foot against the cold tile floor.

She was an old hag really, wrinkles everywhere. She really liked destroying students lives here at Green Grove. "Me? My car ran out of gas so i had to walk to school, long distance. This isn't a blank tardy pass." I showed her the slip.

She raised an eyebrow at me. It was really scary. All her wrinkles went up her face. I mean her name sounds like some dinosaur. The Jarcogran. Roar. Also if you take out Jarco you have Gran. Explains her wrinkles.

"Then why are you writing on it?" She took the slip from me, examining it. "They forgot my last name. OCD problems, it has to be perfect." I fixed my hair, watching her as she flipped the pass.

"Same color pen also?" She looked at my pen and then at me. "Once again, OCD" I replied, taking my school ID out of my bag, clipping it to my skirt so she wouldn't notice.

"Very well young lady. Get to class" she handed me my tardy pass back. I smiled fakily at her "Thank you Ms. Jarcogran." I scurried off to english.

I entered Mr. Kane's english class, handing him my tardy pass. "Excused, please have a seat Ms. Grande and open your textbook to page 653" he pointed his ruler at me.

I nodded and walked to the back of the class room, sitting in an open seat. I could feel everyones eyes on me, but I was used to it.

I flipped my textbook open and then took my phone out. I already learned all of this stuff over the summer. I like to see school as my summer vacation. I mean I get to see my friends every day and go shopping after school any time since I did all my homework over summer break. Plus my grades are all A's so my mom doesn't care.
