Brother's Best Friend [Heartbreak High]

5: First Day, Take 2

Another first day of school, for the second time in six months. You sigh, looking at your reflection in the mirror as you mentally prepared yourself. At least this time you had your brother Ant, and Dusty, and...well, Spider. And there was even your new friends too, you weren't going into this on your own like last time. You were going to be just fine. 

Your phone pings, and you half expect it to be Ant telling you to hurry up, too lazy to move from wherever he was in the house to say it in person. But it wasn't from him, it was a message from an unknown number. It was also a +44 number, which meant it was coming from the United Kingdom...which made you nervous.

Unknown: Flossie, it's Ollie. Please don't block this number too, I just want to talk. I know I fucked up but I promise you I can make it up to you, just give me a chance, please? Let's just call and talk. 

You wince, this is not what you wanted to be dealing with right now. You drop your phone, choosing to ignore the message for now. That was from a different life. You had a new and much more exciting one to experience right now. Almost on cue, you hear a car beeping out front, which would be Spider and Dusty, picking you and Ant up. After a final check of your outfit, hair and light make up, you were ready. First day of school, take 2.

Closing the front door behind you, you see that Ant has already gotten into Spider's car. Spider sees you and leans out the window, giving you a smile and a wave. Dusty then leans over from the passenger seat, crowding into Spider, beeping the car horn.

"There she is! The newest bombshell to enter the villa, it's our very own Florence Vaughn!" Dusty shouts, causing you to snort with laughter. Spider pushes him off, complaining about making too much noise too early in the morning.

"Hartley High can hardly be considered a villa," you scoff, climbing into the backseat. "Morning boys," you sing. 

"Someone's in a good mood," Spider says as he starts up the car, and you don't miss his little smirk in the mirror. 

"Just super freaking psyched for my first day of school, who wouldn't be" you say sarcastically, with a deadpan expression. They all laugh, but you feel Ant give your hand a squeeze, knowing that you were definitely feeling a bit anxious. 

"Well let's make sure you're super freaky psyched. Turn up the music Dusty" Ant says, leaning over to choose the song. 

Song Playing: Super Freaky Girl - Nicki Minaj

Ant immediately jumps into a flawless performance, causing the whole car to laugh. Soon you've all joined in, and by the end of the song you're pulling up to the school carpark. With the windows down and the volume on full blast, you're definitely drawing some looks. But you didn't care, as long as you were with these three, you felt safe.

Your first day was going pretty well. After your semi-grand entrance, you caught up with the rest of SLTs. Seems like everyone had a major hangover day after your big welcome back party. When the bell rung, you made your way to the front office to pick up your new timetable and form class. 

Walking in, you scanned the room, and felt a wave of relief when you saw Malakai waving you over to his table in the corner. You made a beeline towards him.

"A familiar face! Thank god" you exclaim, dropping yourself into the seat next to Malakai.

"Glad to have ya here, although I can imagine Ant is devastated" he jokes.
