So Called Heroes

Chapter Four

So sorry it's taken me a couple of months to make this chapter, but I'll make it up to you. I promise. -Corbin

There I am. Staring into his beautifully green eyes. They look back into mine. They look kind of like the perfect cross between a forest and emerald. His bleached blond spiked up hair sits on his head and my fingers roughly roam it as he kisses my neck.

I wake up with a sharp gasp. I unlock my phone. 4:27 A.M. great. I lay back down and throw a pillow over my face. Who was that? I've never seen eyes like that before, I would remember. And his hair. God. His hair.

I decide at 6 A.M. I should probably get up. I throw on some skinny jeans and a graphic tee and I spot my beanie across the room and throw it on. By the time I'm at the bus Ben is already there. He looks up and smiles.

"Hey, I thought I'd be the only one here-" He burrows his eyebrows in confusion "Wait why are you here?" He asks almost accusingly.

"I had a.. bad.. dream? I mean I guess it was pretty good, but after I woke up I couldn't go back to sleep so I just got ready and left." I pull a pack out of my bag. "Cigarette?" He shakes his head and I put one in my mouth. I pull out an empty lighter of my pocket and use my fingers fire to make it look like the lighter actually works.

"So what was the dream about?" He asks quietly. I shrug and inhale on my cigarette.

"It was pretty.. Vague.." False. That dream was vivid as shit. "I just remember lips on mine and bright dark green eyes and blond hair." He nods.

"You're a pimp, huh?" A laugh shoots out of my mouth.

"The pimpiest of all the pimps." A phone call interrupts me. He answers it.

An hour later the bus pulls up and I plug in my headphones. The Strokes and Twenty One Pilots burst inside my head throughout the entire bus ride. When I get to school I sit on a bench and pull my phone out. I have half an hour until school actually starts and I'm taking it.

I walk into my first hour English and set my crap down, since the school changed my schedule I only have one class with Ben and Drew now. I mean they did put me in advanced classes so that's a plus, except for the fact that I have to deal with a bunch of average sophomores, dumb juniors, and just plain idiotic seniors. The bell ends and a few people rush in, and I look down at my book. A couple of sentences later I see a finger tap at my words.

"You the smart freshman that got put in my class?" I hear. The voice is so tenor it melts my brain. I look up and am immediately taken back. His blond hair sits perfectly on his head and his perfect light dark green eyes melt my soul. He's dream guy. He sits next to me, and I nod.

"My name's Dylan," A smirk lifts up his face. "and you're lucky Mrs. Tina likes me, because she hates freshman."

Mrs. Tina assigns us with our table partner to read some crappy old story in our lit books. He turns to me.

"She doesn't care if I do anything." He laughs. He looks too old to be a sophomore.

"You don't look like you're a sophomore." He smirks.

"I'm a senior, and I finished all my English credits the end of last year, so I'm here to help the sophomores, and you just happened to sit in my seat."

"I still feel like maybe I should do my work?" I say almost sarcastically almost sassily. (Is that a word— 'Sassily?')

"Not really, she trusts me with half the grades so if you get on my good side.." He smirks. "But hey, you should audition for the play after school."

"Oh I don't know I don't really act—" He cuts me off

"We all act. Think about it, I'll be there." He once again smirks, and it still has the same effect on me as it did the first time. "And you're going to meet so many awesome people. Except for Talia, she's a fucking bitch and everyone hates her." I laugh and he smirks once a-fucking-gain.

The rest of the day goes by really fast, we're just getting the feel of high school and our teachers understand that, except for Mrs. Tina, who's used to teaching sophomores. I told Ben and Drew about it and Ben told me he was going to audition and fucking Drew made fun of us, like usual. So now we're standing outside of the choir room waiting to audition. I turn to someone who looks like they know what they're doing.

"Hey, I'm Alex, uh" She looks at me with her chocolate eyes and coffee brown skin. "Do you know what exactly we're doing I mean I've never done one of these." She smiles.

"Just read the lines like you mean them." She says calmly. "I'm Wren." I nod.

"Thanks." I study the words over and over again in my head.

When I walk in I see Dylan sitting with Mrs. Tina and he smiles and whispers to her. She smiles and nods and he winks at me. I'm not sure what made me more nervous, him or auditioning, but both together, not a good sight.

I hope I can write tomorrow, but I won't have my laptop so it will be hard.
