Do it again

THE LOCKER ROOM

As bored and isolated as usual, Kelly wanders herself through an empty hallway when everyone is out for a break. Her footsteps are nearly possessed and unrestrained, until a force comes and breaks it. She spots a mysterious looking girl, sitting alone against the lockers. She seems older than Kelly, with striking dark hair and a rebel looking half-shaved head that is covered in her long sleek bangs parted on the right side of her face, and her right arm is covered in tattoos of a zone of mystical shapes in different sizes. Holding a cigarette, her black nails contrasting against the white smoke.

Kelly couldn't stop glancing at her intricate tattoos. Kelly approaches her hesitantly but curiously.

"Hey there" Kelly made a smile "May I sit down?"

The senior looks up at Kelly's eyes. She takes a long drag from her cigarette, exhaling slowly. Smoke came out of her lip, she leaned her head on the locker.

"You need something, kid?" She sighs, playing with the cigarette around her fingers.

"No... just find someone to talk to."

"Like who"

"Uhm I just saw you sitting here so I guess we can talk, my name's Kelly."

The girl raises an eyebrow, a hint of amusement playing on her lips as Kelly held her hand out to shake her hand.

"What makes you think I want to?" Scarlet put her hands in the pocket

Kelly makes no response though she's taken aback, instead, she looks at the tiny case next to her. The girl noticed and smirked, then she took another drag from her cigarette, and offered it to Kelly.

"Want one?"

"Aren't you not supposed to smoke in the hall? You could get caught, you sitting right next to the fire alarm."

"Scared, kiddo?"

"No, I just think that you could do it somewhere else safer."

"How old are you?" She smirked again

"17"

"Okay , I guess kids shouldn't smoke"

"I'm not a kid, I'm 17"

"Whatever you said, kid"

"Look who's talking, you're like a year older than me."

"Two, if I'm supposed to be"

"Wait, what? You're 19? No way."

"Be surprised."

"So why are you here, what happened?"

"Shits happened, that's what it's all about"

"O..okay...so.. can you tell me your name?"

"Scarlet"

Then she get up without any pause to look back at Kelly, tossed way the cigarette and walked away, Kelly called after her:

"Hey, where are you going?"

"To class"

"But I'm not done talking to you"

"Why, you wanna skip class?"

"Huh, we have class already? Hey wait"

The bell rang, a large crowd rushed towards the entrance door. Scarlet walks away, leaving Kelly standing there, slightly confused but still intrigued. The mysterious girl with the tattoos and the rebellious attitude had captured her attention. She watches Scarlet disappear into the crowd of students, wondering if she'll ever see her again.
