Bad choices

race

I turn my body so I can look at my clock on my wall to see what time it is. 6:15 am is the time so I have about 20 extra minutes to get ready.

I shuffle on my slippers and walk to my bathroom trying my best to avoid the floor boards that creak under me.I lock the door behind me in the bathroom and slip into the shower.

Wrapping a towel around my self careful not to slip on the water on the floor from the leaky shower.

I put on a light amount of makeup that still shows my natural freckles and straighten my hair.I pick out a corset style dress to wear and grab my backpack.

I check the time on my phone( 7:20) I let out a sigh of relief that I wouldn't be late.I made sure to also shoot a text to Amy saying that I was leaving my apartment .Which she responded with the thumbs up emoji.

.....

10 minutes later I was pulling into the school parking lot and saw her bright blue car so I pulled up my beat up car right next to it.

Putting my car in park there was a knock on my driver side window and there she was.I turn around to grab my skating bag from the backseat but see nothing. i groan in defeat.

"what's wrong?" amy asks

" I forgot my skating bag at home and I have ice time after school" I smacked my forehead and mumbled more curse words "I have an extra break before lunch I could go pick it up for you" Amy said "That would be great thanks Amy" she winked .

"See you at lunch?" She asked. I nodded and waved to her over my shoulder while jogging inside of the school building.

...............

"Thank you so much Amy " I said while she handed me my skating gear.While shaking her head she said "no problem Mel"

I was putting my skating stuff under the table when I saw an extra pair of feet at our table.

I lifted my head and saw two guys

"Jayden what's up" amy asked

"Troy wants me to ask you guys if you guys are coming to the race tonight"

a titled my head to the side in question "a race?" I asked

The guy who's name i still haven't figured out looked me up and down while saying

" you wouldn't like it princess " I scoffed at his assumption

"ok" I replied bluntly already knowing that i would be going to the race in the chance of running into a certain somone

Amy responded for me saying "We will be there" while narrowing her eyes at him.He rolled his eyes while walking over to his original table.

"Mel?"

I blew out a long breath

"yes?" She eyes me then my food "eat"

I rolled my eyes and continued playing with my food.

When I went to open my mouth to speak again she shoved a handful of fries in my mouth.I glared at her and chewed the fries to refrain from choking.

"So what did he mean by race?" i ask pretending i didint already know

She bit her lip to refrain her smile she leaned over and whispered in my ear "street racing"

I smiled "sounds fun" I said as she let her smile form and nodded.

The bell rang and we said our goodbyes
