HEARTBREAK HIGH; •Spencer White•

four - spring has sprung

"COOPERS!" The car swung into the carpark, Cash hanging out the window as he called her name. Daisy giggled at his antics, jogging down the back stairs as she pulled a jumper over her head, ridding herself of her work shirt, "Get in," Cash had the windows down, blasting whatever music he was into at the moment while Daisy stopped at the door.

"One second." She glanced around before she pushed her shorts down replacing it with a dress that she pulled on, "Okay, ready." She threw her uniform in the back, plugging her phone into the aux. Daisy looked over Cash once, before seeming the jacket he was wearing acceptable.

The pair were heading off to the cemetery, Dusty's supposedly party the perfect place for Cash to deal. Flicking through her playlists she decided on one that wasn't going to make them lose their hearing like Cash's music.

"That's a nice dress, is it new?" Cash's hand hung out the window, the other rested on the gear stick. It was new and Daisy had been obsessed with it, the black and white polka dot dress had cost her an entire pay check for the week. She didn't regret it though.

"Yes, it is." She smiled admiring her dress once more, "Hopefully it's going to attract some attention." She boasted, sinking into the worn seat.

"Don't you dare bring some diseased teen back mae, especially one from our school." He shuddered, Daisy tying her long hair up as they approached the cemetery.

"Hey," She side eyed him as they pulled up, "Same goes Doug." She kicked the door open standing as Cash did the same, "This new class is already rubbing off on you." She scrunched her nose as Cash rolled his eyes locking the car. Daisy went to lead the way but didn't get very far when Cash stopped her, gripping her wrist.

"That mark.." He paused looking around, "This one." He gestured to her cheek bone, a dark mark that had been poorly covered with foundation, "It was him wasn't it." Daisy paled and shoved her hand from Cash's grip. Cash knew to some extend what happened in the Coopers house but he had never witnessed it, and he knew she didn't want to be put in the system. Sometimes he wished she would just stay with him and Nan, then he could never touch Daisy.

"It's fine Doug." She forced a smile on her face, "I'm handling it." She tugged her jacket off tossing it in the back seat before she lead the way to the cemetery. Cash lit a joint before silently handing it to Daisy as they rounded the table he usually dealt at.

"Let me know when you want to leave, we'll go." Cash sat on the top of the table, "Yeah?" She nodded bringing the joint to her lips before she took another unlit one from Cash and sauntered into the party.

"Oh my god, Daisy!" Daisy almost lost her feet when Missy Beckett tackled her into a hug, just missing lighting her hair on the fire as they separated, "You look amazing." She ran her hands over her hips in a flirtatious motion even with Sasha beside her. It was clear Missy was intoxicated but it seemed Sasha was in a similar state.

"As do you." Daisy boasted, placing the joint the joint in her lips as she inhaled again, "This is gorgeous." She brushed her fingers over Missy's colourful button up shirt, Missy's expression turned sour when some teens showed up including Amerie.

Daisy watched from the sidelines as Amerie begun dancing with Darren and Quinni, then Malakai. She didn't truly hold any bad feelings towards Amerie but the map had landing her with a bruised cheek and bloodied nose. It made her have some sort of dislike against her.

"I'll see you later Missy." She let her hand linger on Missy's before she fled, weaving through drunk students. Finding the closest place that gave her a moment of peace, she collapsed to the grass watching the sun set.

Leaning against the gravestone of some dead local she felt a little guilty mumbling a sorry as she lit her spare joint bringing it to her lips. About half way through somebody had called her name and she found herself doubling over coughing violently.
