Grotesque Trilogy (Book 1)

Chapter 8

A loud thumping at my door woke my up from my deep slumber. Scanning my eyes around the room I peered over and tapped my phone to see the time 7:30 am it read, great!

Forcing myself towards the door I saw Peace standing on the other side smiling like a Cheshire Cat.

"Morning you giraffe" he chuckled.

At this point I completely forgot I was stood in my giraffe onesie in front of peace.

He was wearing his black jeans, with a white tee shirt that shown off his sleeve tattoos perfectly. He also had his low black doc martens on, with his leather jacket thrown over his shoulder. His hair was messy which indicated to me he'd shoved on his clothes and came to get me up for school, ugh!

Can't believe I still have to go there.

"Hey give me 10 minutes so I can get ready" I said rather quickly.

"I'll wait here then" he laughed to himself.

Running around my room I decided to wear my blue jeans that had rips on the knees, my plain black t-shirt with my grey trench coat and all white vans. Looking in the mirror I decided today was a messy bun day.

I placed my hair up and put on little make up with some winged eyeliner and then opened to door to reveal Peace still standing there.

"Ready now?" He asked.

"Let me just grab my bag pack and we can go" I said before grabbing my bag off the corner of my bed and locking my room before leaving.

Slowly walking down the hall me and Peace had a chat on what lessons we had, just making general conversation.

As we approached the entrance and exit of the cave Peace walked towards an all black Nissan Juke.

"Who's car is that?" I asked rather confused.

"Mine" he laughed. "You getting in or not?" He said.

I climbed into the front seat next to Peace.

"It won't be long until they ask you what car you want you know" Peace said.

"Ohh really?" I asked rather shocked.

"Yeah, everyone here gets there own car" he said before starting the car and driving out of the cave.

The journey to school takes even longer now, I hated it. Staring out the window I hear my text tone go off on my phone.

As I looked down I see the name Leo Knowles💙 I smiled to myself before opening the text.

Re; Leo Knowles💙

Morning baby girl, hope you slept well, got loads to tell you! Hurry up and get here love you

Leo x

I smiled like a love struck idiot in the car to which Peace noticed this.

"Who's the person that's got you all mushy then?" He said rather sarcastically.

"No one, and I'm not mushy at all!" I say pretending to be offended.

After a while we arrive at school and notice Leo waiting near the entrance. Peace quickly parked the car before we both hopped out and made our way towards him.

"Hey guys" he said. "Meg, how come Peace is giving you a ride, don't you usually just walk?" he asked rather confused.

I froze I didn't even think he'd question this, before I could speak Peace spoke.

"I texted her telling her I set off to early and I was near hers so I decided to give her a lift".

Amazed I just go along with it, Leo just shrugs it off and goes on about how his necklace is getting warmer recently and how he thinks the one person he should be in love with is nearby.

Me and Peace don't understand what this must feel like so we pretend we know what he's on about.

Leo walked with us to our dull green lockers before running off to English. Peace soon left for Pe, leaving me to go to Health science. I hated my subjects I never paid attention, not once.

Peace wanted to go on to university to do philosophy and become a journalist to do some editing job. Whereas I didn't have a clue, Peace and Leo had their lives figured out whereas I didn't even know who I was.

Walking in to Health science I sat in the corner at the back preventing anyone from speaking to me, the teacher walked in a few minutes later and began to ramble on with himself.

My eyes drifted to the window every now and then, due to my lack of interest in the subject. He was going on about something to do with injury and diseases, clearly I was paying no attention.

At the end of the lesson I quickly gathered my things and left the room. Leo was waiting outside smiling from ear to ear.

"What?" I asked giggling slightly.

"Nothing" he said.

Peace came a few seconds later and we discussed about the lesson's just gone.

The final bell went indicating that it was the end of the day.

Walking out of school with Peace and Leo we walked Leo to his yellow Volkswagen Beetle Malaysia. His car always seemed to girly for him and Peace always joked about it, but Leo couldn't part himself from the car which I always thought was super cute.

Me and Peace made small talk before jumping in his car and making our way back to the cave.

"You know training tonight is gonna be tough?" Peace spoke quickly.

"We have training tonight?" I asked rather shocked.

"Yeah wait and see what they have in store for you" he said with a smug grin.

Something tells me when I get to the cave training is going to be so difficult.
