Audrey

The week sped by faster than we could all bat an eyelid, and Friday morning came along.

That also meant, I didn't have time to finish packing.

I was currently pacing around my bedroom resembling a headless chicken, trying to gather up small belongings I have forgotten to pack.

'Fuck! Where is my iPad charger!?' I nagged under my breath, emptying to contents of the drawer next to my bed, spilling everything out of it and causing havoc on my poor bedroom floor.

Finally having found the item I was looking for, I let out a relieved sigh as I dropped it into my suitcase, zipping it up.

I strolled over to my wardrobe, already planning an outfit out in my head. Deciding to go for something comfy but cute, not wanting to sit through 31 hours of travel by coach in discomfort, I chose to wear some black oversized Balenciaga joggers, a cropped white spaghetti strap top, and a matching oversized Balenciaga hoodie to piece the outfit together.

I didn't bother paying much attention to my hair, deciding to just straighten it and leave it be, letting my long blonde tresses cascade down my back for some extra warmth in the nipping February air.

For make-up, I lightly dabbed some concealer under my eyelids and red areas on my face, blending it all in to create an even toned canvas. I coated my eyelashes in a thick layer of black mascara, sticking some false lashes atop of the mascara, preventing my blonde lashes from peeking through under the false ones. I dabbled around in a contour pallette, applying some blush to my cheeks to create a rosey glow, following with  applying some of the rich brown powder onto my cheekbones, forehead and nose to create a snatched look. Leaving my eyebrows as they were, having tinted them the night before, and deciding I was pleased with how I looked, I scanned the room for anything I could have forgotten to do.

Hearing the sizzle on my dressing table, indicating my hair straighteners were still on, I hurriedly unplugged them, and mentally thanked myself for realising they were still in fact on.

Wouldn't wanna come back to a burned down house now, would I?

Even though the burned building wouldn't even compare to the burning inside of me as I thought about spending a whole week with Kendall, all of my organs evaporating into thin ash.

Slipping my feet into a new pair of Nike Jordan 1s, and grabbing my suitcase, I made my way down the stairs, pessimistic thoughts already crowding my thoughts as I realised who I'd be spending the next couple of days with.

'Okay class! Do we have Jenna Knight, I repeat, Jenna Knight!' The elderly lady screeched out, desperately trying to gain the attention of  the 30 buzzing teenagers currently located at the assembly point.

I tuned out the agitating sound of her voice, observing the details on my baby pink acrylics, admiring the way the rhinestones glistened against the cold February sun.

'Audrey Abbot! Do we have Audrey Abbot today?' Miss Higgins panted out, the old ladies lungs tired after screeching out so many names several times.

I mumble out a quick 'Yes Miss', before getting back to admiring the sharp false nails on my fingers.

'Perfect! You will all be sat down according to whoever you're sat next to during class! And do not try fooling me, I have the seating plan right here' Miss Higgins exclaimed threateningly, waving around the frail piece of paper in her hand, the paper tattered at the edges from age and constant folding.

Just when I thought I could get some time to myself to prepare for the raven haired girls company, my situation decides to escalate.

Hour of travelling with the abominable ravenette, and I don't think I can take any more.

Kendall was currently tapping her foot in a menacingly slow pace, playing with her fingers in her lap as she stared out of the coach windows which were covered in greasy fingerprints.

'Can you just shut the fuck up?' I turn abruptly to face the ravenette, taking out one of my Airpods and scowling deeply.

'Sorry, my phone has died and I have nothing better to do' She shrugs nonchalantly, turning her head back to face the window and continuing her menacing taps.

'Ugh here, just shut the fuck up and stop fucking tapping' I snap out, holding one of my Airpods between my fingers, gesturing it towards her.

'Thanks, who would have ever known you could be so generous' She grinned widely, taking the thin Airpod from between my fingers, tucking it away inside of her ear neatly.

'This does not mean we're friends by the way' I scowl, crossing my arms over my chest and sinking deeper into the shockingly uncomfortable seat.

'Yeah, yeah' She giggles out, a small smile making its way onto her face.
