Kyle above

I turned the doorknob as all eyes fell on me. Some snickered whilst others whispered amongst each other.

Ugh, how I despise being late.

"Sieara, why are you twenty minutes late for my lesson?" My science teacher asked, turning to face me, after glancing distastefully at the clock located above the board. 

"Umm..." I hummed helplessly, looking around, hoping something would give me inspiration for a fool-proof lie.

I couldn't exactly tell a teacher I was having a pretty useless conversation.

And that I needed a piss.

"Just leave the nerd alone." A girl grinned, sitting comfortably at the back of the classroom beside a boy who had his arms wrapped around her.

My teacher sighed before shaking his head and gesturing for me to be seated.

"If this happens again it's detention, understood?" He stated, sending me a  supportive smile, evidently picking up on the comment.

I just nodded at him, busily mentally insulting the girl.

I patiently waited outside the school gates for Ariana. I felt a sense of accomplishment after standing up to Kyle and actually being able to have a normal conversation with him.

"Today was the most boring-est day of my life. I honestly cannot handle another few weeks of school. I know we just had a holiday and all but, God needs to give me some strength." Ariana groaned, sending me a pout, over dramatically falling into my arms.

"Everyday is the most boring-est day of your life, Ari. " Lucy laughed, placing her books neatly in her bag in order of size.

"How about you S?" Ariana asked, brushing a curl behind her ear.

"Nothing really happened today. As much as I hate to say it, the only interesting thing that has happened to me today is calmly conversing with Murrys." I admitted, unlocking my phone, sending them a roll of my eyes.

"WHAT?" Ariana exclaimed, peering over my shoulder to glance at my phone, on her tiptoes.

"You talked to Kyle?" Lucy asked in complete surprise, standing beside Ariana.

"And named him Hottie on your phone? How creative." Ariana laughed, falling onto the balls of her feet.

"Wha-? I--That wasn't me." I stuttered, clicking on the most recent added contact.

"Sure, it wasn't." Lucy retorted, a smile threatening to break into her face.

"I'm serious." I finally grinned, beginning my walk across the broad parking lot.

Staring down at my phone, I changed Kyle's name to Jerk on my phone with a few taps of my fingers.

That suited him way better.

Finally, raising my head to make sure my two friends were following me, I inwardly groaned realising Chantelle was a few feet away and speedily approaching me.

My friends trailed behind her, quickly speeding up their pace when realising I was prone to Chantelle's incoming wrath.

"Hello, loser. You're looking peckishly horrible today. Is it the hair?" She questioned snidely, picking at a dull strand of my hair.
