DRAIN ME - R.G

i

Another day, Another year, Another “fresh start”. Alyssa jolted up to the vibrations of a certain artist spamming her phone. She took a few minutes to get herself together before checking the several missed calls and messages Janis had sent her  

*5 missed calls from my art freak 🎨* 

“Shit” she silently cursed at herself before actually getting out of her bed and checking the text messages.

ALYSSA ROSE WEINERS IF YOU DONT GET YOUR ASS UP NOW WE’RE GONNA LEAVE YOU TO GO WITH THEM 

Them being Gretchen Karen and Regina. Or as the school likes to call the the plastics. Alyssa checked the time before yelling a string of curse words. The clock read 7:53. She only had 6 minutes to get out the door. Luckily, she lives right around the corner from Northshore and her bag had been packed the night before. She ran into her ensuite bathroom cleaning herself up and doing her makeup, making sure her eyeliner was even before shoving on a Sabrina carpenter baby tee, her grey mini skirt and her doc martens before grabbing her headphones off her bedside cabinet. 7:56. Alyssa had then quickly brushed through her hair before putting half of it up to show her newly dyed layers she had hidden. With all this rushing around she had missed another 3 calls from Janis and two from Damian. Just as she was going to check her phone an angered brunette came bursting through the door. 

“If you do not get this freak to stop honking at our door I will kill you.” Gretchen huffed. Alyssa rolled her eyes at her sisters' outburst. 

“Alright, alright, I’m leaving now my god.” Alyssa says grabbing her bag. 

“I don't know why you still hang around with her. I mean you do know what she did to Regina right” Ahh yes. Regina George, the schools queen bee. Gretchen basically follows every order the blonde gives her. She’s practically her lapdog. I don't know why she still hangs around with her I mean she treats her like literal shit. Alyssa has never really taken much interest into Regina as she doesn't want to be in the loop with whatever sort of clique she's got going. She likes to keep her friendship groups simple and small.  

“Yes, I do. Let me remind you once again, it was Regina’s fault. Janis had every right to react the way she did.” Alyssa defends. And it’s true. It was in fact Regina’s fault. Anything bad that ever happens at NorthShore is always her fault. And just as Gretchen was about to say something both girls could here another honk coming from outside. Janice still waiting impatiently for the latina girl to leave her house. 

“Well would you look at the time Gretch! I’ve gotta go or I'll be la-” She looked at her phone to see 8:05 staring right at her. Her eyes widened before she rushed out of her room leaving the other brunette girl to stand there. Alyssa grabbed her hoodie from the end of the stair banister before bolting out the door and into Janis’ beat down Audi crossover. 

“About time. As if we didn't call you like a hundred times.” Janis had started the engine back up before going over the speeding limit slightly to get school. 

“I’m sorry, you know how my sister is. “Why do you still hang out with that freak” “you hanging out with her can ruin my reputation as well as yours” you know the usual” she says mocking her sister, imitating the small altercation they had minutes before, Damian laughing lightly in the back.  

“Hanging out with me isn't that bad” Janis says. And with that came a jokingly unsure look from both Alyssa and Damian 

“Oh you bitches, you guys love me. I keep things real and I’m hilarious.” The taller girl says smacking the pair of them. The group calms down and sit in a comfortable silence with the aux playing Boygenius in the background before pulling up to the school, They all hoped out the car waiting for Janis to lock it before forming a line with Alyssa in the middle. The sun shined down on them as the looked at the front of the school. Alyssa groaned 

“Do we really have to go back?” Janis told her to suck it up. There was only one more year and they were out of there. I mean it’s only gonna be a repeat of last year, right?
