Two of a kind

HIGH SCHOOL FROM HELL

Summer ended, me and Maria were getting closer, I hadn't slept with anyone and neither has she, we had a great summer, Trent and Teresa started dating after they hooked up at Maria's "seriously why do I have first period with Mrs Star!" Maria says throwing her stuff in her locker "we both have her M" I laugh, Mrs Star was an alright teacher but she was always on Maria's case "I swear if she gives out an assignment today I'm leaving" we walk towards class, Mrs Star is writing on the black board "welcome back class, I hope you all had a good summer break" she says turning around to face us "now for today we will be going over a poem and I want you all to write about what you think the writer was going through when he wrote it" Maria sighs "I fucking hate poetry" she says under her breath, we open up our books and start writing our thoughts, then near the end of class Mrs star clears her throat "I want you all to look into a poet and a musician, they need to have similar writing styles. This is a comparative piece you need to show your understanding of the 2 pierces highlight the similarities and the differences" the bell hadn't gone yet but as soon as Mrs Star said that Maria groans and starts to get up, I make her sit down though, she can't afford to get into anymore trouble, two minutes later we're dismissed. We go to our next classes.

~~~~~~END OF THE SCHOOL DAY~~~~~~~

Maria is stuffing everything in to her bag "seriously it's the first day back and I have four assignments that are due tomorrow!" She slams her locker and we start walking to the parking lot "same here, we can study together if you want?" "Yeah I guess, but don't distract me" she says sternly. We go back to my place, grab a bottle of coke each and go up to my room, we start our home work. After an hour Maria stands up and stretch's "seriously this shit is hard, I've only gotten one assignment done" I laugh "me too, come on let's go raid the fridge" I say getting up, we go down stairs, there's left over Chinese in the fridge "want some?" I ask holding up to take away container "yeah sure" she says, I heat up the Mongolian beef noodles and hand her a plate "I can't wait to graduate, seriously these assignments are such a waste of time" Maria says and starts eating "yeah I know, I'm never reading poetry again" I say. We finish eating and go back up to finish our assignments.

MARIA'S POV

my phone buzzes when I'm nearly finished my last assignment 'hey I got a call from work, they need me to head out of town again, I'll be back in two weeks. I've left you some money" Selena had been going out of town for work a lot lately, I didn't mind though. When she has been home she Mopes around and starts arguments with me "alright I'm finally done, wanna see what Trents doing?" Drake asks "his with Teresa, they went to watch a movie" I tell him "oh right, did you want me to drive you home?" He offers "yeah, if that's okay" we leave the house. Drake walks me up to my apartment "hey Maria?" He says as I start to open the door "yeah?" I ask walking in I look at him "do you ever think about what we would have been if I hadn't messed up?" I'm shocked by the question, I mean we're friends now, we moved passed all the drama and yes occasionally I dreamt about him holding me, his body against mine but I don't think I would act on those dreams "it probably would have ended sooner or later, and who knows we might have ended and not being friends" I say looking away "I'd never stop being your friend" he walks closer to me and lifts my chin up so I look at him "and I'm sorry that we never got the chance to see what we would become" he leans down and kisses my cheek, his lips are warm and when he looks at me I smile "if you ever want to give us another go I'm here and I'll wait" with that he turns around and walks out the door, I stood there shocked, where had this come from why would he even want to get back together. My heads spinning with so many questions, I need a smoke, I roll a joint and light it up smoking it till my heads clear of any thoughts. I shower and go to bed.

~~~~~~FRIDAY~~~~~~

All week me and Drake had avoided being alone together, things were getting a bit awkward. It was lunch time and Teresa and Trent were talking about a party that some guy from the private school in town was having tonight "so are we gonna go or what?" Trent asks looking over at me and Drake "yeah but if it's lame I'm leaving" I say taking a bite of my salad "yeah we should check it out" Drake says looking at Trent "alright we'll all go together be at mine by 8 we will have a few drinks, and then make our way there" the bell rings and we all take off to our classes. For some reason the teachers were giving us assignment after assignment, but thank god today they hadn't, I'm doing my maths problems that are written on the black board when my phone buzzes 'hey can we talk? I miss you' it was Sam, I ignore it, there is no way I'll ever give him the time of day again, what he did to me was unforgivable, and the worst part was I really hadn't done anything to him, not that he had the right to do that even if I did. The bell rings and I grab my stuff, I walk home. I decided to clean my room, once everything was put away and my bed had fresh sheets I put on a load of laundry and hopped in the shower I started singing to my music that was playing and when I got out I looked through my clothes, a Private school party meant rich kids, which means I have to dress to blend in, I chose my Red What You Feel Mini Dress (white fox boutique) and white heels, with my hair wavy and flowing past my shoulders, Nude lipstick and Smokey eye shadow. My phone rings, it's Drake "hey" I answer the phone "hey I just pulled up to yours are you ready?" He replies "yeah I'll be down in two" I hang up, grab my bottle of tequila and vodka and place my three joints in my bra after I spray myself, I get down and into the car "sorry, had to make sure I had everything" I close the door and look at Drake, his wearing a black long sleeve muscle fit shirt and black jeans he looked really good, his chest was showing slightly and his arms looked even bigger in this shirt "that's alright you were quick" he pulls out of the apartment car park, and we head over to Trents. Teresa opens the door she looks stunning, she's wearing i white corset dress and her hairs straight "wow you look beautiful" I tell her walking in "thank you Maria, Trents still trying to find a shirt, I swear his actually a girl" she says smiling and rolling her eyes "yeah his always the last one to be ready" I laugh we go to the kitchen "I'll go check on him" Drake says, leaving us and running up the stairs "so are you excited about tonight?" Teresa asks while I pour me and her a shot "curious, never been to a party that wasn't held by someone at our school" she smiles "yeah me either" we take our shots "ladies" Trent says walking into the kitchen wearing a black Saint Morta T with gold print and black jeans "you take so long to get ready" Teresa says smiling "well I have to make sure I look good, good enough to be standing next to you" he kisses Teresa and takes a shot "Hey Drake, I think you might actually get lucky tonight, apparently these private school girls are wild" Drake laughs "they'd be way to stuck up for me bro" we have a few more shots "I'll call a cab" Trent grabs his phone and 15 minutes later our cabs out the front, we pile in and make our way to the party, it's 30 minutes away, in the nicer part of town, we pull up to a massive double story house, closer to being a mansion "rich people" I say under my breath "tell me about it" Drake replies, we get out and go into the house, the music is loud people are standing around drinks in hand and talking to one another "why the fuck is no one dancing" I ask the guys and Teresa "I have no clue, but it could have something to do with this music" we walk further in, and people start looking at us "I'm gonna go find the music and change it this is shit" I say taking off, after 5 minutes I find the source of the music, it was just a CD playing, I grab the AUX cord attached to the speakers and plug my phone in, I put on my playlist and turn up the volume, I make my way back to the group "I need a drink" Teresa says when I reach them "I think we're gonna need more than one" we go to the kitchen, and start taking shots, 5 shots later I mix a drink, vodka and cranberry juice, some girl is Talking to Drake  "you guys wanna dance" Teresa nods and grabs Trents hand we make our way into the living room and start dancing, Trents behind Teresa I'm in front of her 'Lil mama' by Prznt starts playing Trent and Teresa start getting more intimate so I back away a bit and dance by myself, more people are starting to dance, I see Drake leaning against the wall staring at me. I continue to dance until the next song comes on, I walk over to him "wanna go out side?" I ask, he nods and leads the way, the backyard is massive, there's an undercover BBQ area and a pool and spa, and then a pool house "Jesus rich people really do have way to much" Drake says, I laugh and pull out a joint "yeah I bet they hardly come out here" we share the joint "you look stunning tonight" drake says after a few drags "thanks Drake, you clean up pretty well" he laughs "don't get used to this, Trent told me I had to blend in" I take the joint "well you look good" I smile.
