The Hassle, The Fighting, They All Want A Bite Of Me

I got out of my bathroom and walked over to my desk. It wasn't the very clean, but I knew where everything was and I liked it. My older brother, Steve, always tells me to clean it up a bit. I put my  backpack on and checked my self out in the mirror. I went downstairs and grabbed the car keys. 

"Steve I'm driving today!"

"ELORA ARIES HARRINGTON you are not going to fucking drive ever!"

"I will have my license in two days and I have to practice driving." I said innocently.

"Hell to the no Elora you can practice after school."

"Fine." I said acting sad while also acting pissed. Steve would always fall for it.

"Don't look at me like that. You know what fine you can drive today." 

I didn't say anything I just smiled big and ran out to the car. The car ride to school was okay I guess, Steve was asking me to many questions though.

"So the book that you are reading, 'Flowers In The Attic' it has a sex scene and you bookmarked it. Why?"

"I'm a teen with raging hormones."

"I also found a explicit magazine of GIRL, Elora care to explain."

"Oh my fucking god Steve Harrington just shut up okay."

"Sorry but if you like to talk about anything just come to me."

"Be quiet we are at school now."

I got out of my car and Billy Hargrove was waiting for me. How could I tell he waiting for me? He does it everyday and flirts with me when he does. And to be honest we are dating but only because I was the only cheerleader without a boyfriend and it seemed weird.

"Hey sweetheart, meet me in the empty classroom after first period."

"Billy, I can't sorry."

"Why not."

"Because."

"I said why not Elora!" Billy practically screamed and was about to punch me.

"She said she couldn't you dick." Steve stepped in and blocked the punch.

"Uh I gotta go practice for the pep rally later today. Byeeee!!!!" I said then ran inside to my locker. While I was running to my locker I bumped into one of the band geeks.

"Oh sorry I wasn't looking at where I was going." I apologized.

"Uh it's fine don't worry, I was the one in the way. And I could have moved and now I feel bad and I'm sorry." She ranted.

"I really don't care I'm fine and it's fine. You did nothing." I said then went to my locker finally.

My best friends, Araya Wheeler and Claire Henderson, came over to me and Claire gave me a surprise hug.

"Hey Claire Bear and Raya."

"Araya, Elora we have to do something for our last day of school."

"Your right Claire but I'm babysitting Mike and Holly tonight."Araya said.

"Can't Nancy do that? She never helps babysit Mike or Holly."

"She's hanging out with Jonathan tonight."

"Fuck!" I screamed for no reason whatsoever. I slammed my locker shut and we all started to walk to first period. Poor Araya was all alone in history while Claire and I were in French. In class today we just hung out and had no assignments. Sadly we had to write a short speech in French and read it in front of the class. Once class was over we went to second period, then third, fourth, lunch, and sixth. For sixth period the cheerleaders, band, and student council had to practice our routine and stuff for the pep rally. I ended up not meeting Billy after first period. For some odd reason it felt gross kissing a boy.

"Hey Claire, you know that band geek?"

"The blonde one that draws on her shoes?"

"Yeah, I think what is her name?"

"Robin." Araya blurted out scaring me and Claire because she wasn't there a second ago.

"Yeah, Robin she was staring at me in first and third period."

"She was probably thinking about fucking Steve. You know now that he is single."

"Araya has a point he is super-hot plus I would fuck him any day."

"Claire we all know you eye fuck him literally every time he is in the same room as you. You are a horny whore."

"Ew Araya, Claire please stop talking about having sex with my brother. And out of all three of us I have lost my virginity so yeah." I said then flipping them off and going to the bathroom to change into my cheer uniform. Once I got to the bathroom I went into a stall and got changed when someone came in the bathroom. I got out of the stall and saw the Robin girl.

"Hey your Robin, right?"

"Yeah I am."

"I'm Elora Harrington." I said holding my hand out. "Um do you need help with your hat?" "Yes please I can't figure out how to do it even though I have down a million of times." I helped Robin with her hat, but Araya rushed in the bathroom saying my name.

"Elora there you are, we kind of need you for our dance."

"Right sorry I'll be a minute."

"Okay be quick."

I finished with Robin and then ran out to practice. It was soon time for the pep rally. I went to the microphone and started talking. "Hello tigers!! Today is the last day of school, tomorrow all of you seniors will be graduating! Anyways to the pep rally." We started our cheer. I was thrown in the air when I saw Robin staring at me.

TIME SKIP TO TWO MONTHS LATER: JULY

I walked into scoops ahoy with my friends to see Steve in his uniform. It was a sailor outfit with a hat that said 'Ahoy' in a blue colour. "Ahoy Ladies oh it's just you three. What do you want?"

"Can we have on rocky road with two scoops." Araya Asked.

"One bubblegum with rainbow sprinkles."

"And one of your personal favorites Steve." Claire added.

"Great order." Steve grabbed our ice cream and gave it to us. We then chose to sit in a booth. I speed walked to the counter and started talking to Steve. "Hey Steve, are you hiring because I want a summer job."

"Uh I don't know let me ask. Robin, are we hiring?" Steve said then yelled to Robin.

"Yes, we have been since the mall opened. That may be the only reason you got the job."

"Great, Elora we are hiring go in the back to have your interview with Robin."

I walked to the back while Claire started to flirt with Steve. It was so disgusting.

"So why do you want the job also sit-down Elora." I sat down and took a second to respond. "I need the money and stuff."

"Awesome your hired."

"It was that easy."

"Yeah, your brother needs some help." Robin said while getting a uniform from a cabinet. "It is a skirt version of the uniform. Are you fine with that?"

"Yeah, I'm okay with that."

"Okay you start tomorrow and don't be late." 
I walked back to the front of Scoops Ahoy and left with Araya and Claire. We walked out of the mall and went to Claire's house for a sleepover.
