"Adam! You're gonna be late for school!"
The alarm was blaring so insanely loud (Same volume as every other time, but it's harder to hear on Monday Mornings).
"I got it, don't worry."
I didn't necessarily "have it". I mean, I picked out my clothes the night before, as my mom encouraged me to, but still, the walk from the bed to the dresser I had place the clothes on was too much this early in the morning. I quickly remembered that if I was late, than my mom was late, so I hopped out of bed and waddled over to my dresser. Then there was a knock at my door.
"Good Morning Sweetie, How are you feeling about Junior year?"
"Could be better."
"Aw sweetie," My mom always had a soft spot for me when it came to school. I had stopped fighting so much out of respect for my Mom's Job, but that just means bitting my tongue and we ALL know how I feel about that.
"You're gonna do great! I heard from the PTA that there are several new students this year, so if you make any new friends, feel free to invite them to dinner."
"Right, I'll keep that in mind." I could tell she knew i was being sarcastic, but that same encouraging smile never left her face. She eventually left me to get ready which also left me to wonder how the hell I was supposed to "invite people to dinner". I didn't waste much thought on it as I got ready for school.
Eventually, I made my way downstairs, scratch Hawking on his back and sat down on the counter-seat to eat my breakfast.
"Aw you look great Adam, let me get my camera!"
"Mom Please don't..."
I tried my best to scarf down my cereal before racing to get up and grab my backpack.
"Okay one picture!"
I let her take God Knows how many pictures in one minute before We both headed to the car.
The drive was nice, It was Fall (The best season) and I had honestly forgot all about Junior Year and Ray Dollarhyde and the fact that we made it to high school and he STILL hasn't gotten expelled. But Eventually as I remembered his face, my mom interrupted my thoughts.
"We're here! Have a Great first day! I love you."
My thoughts were blank for a second, but I quickly shook out of it.
"I love you too Mom. See you later."
No matter how many years have passed since I began expressing my love for my mom, she still received it as if I've never gave her a piece of mind. I pulled the car handle and stepped out the car before closing it and walking toward the main entrance.
"Reed!"
Oh here we fucking go. I slowly but surely spin on my heels.
"Ray, Chuck. Happy First Day."
They look back and forth from one another.
"You know we can't touch you anymore, but we can sure as hell..."
I spun on my heels once again and continued to walk into the main entrance. "Not today Motherfuckers."
My first period teacher was a snooze fest. I can't believe she's able to keep her eyes open for long enough to take attendance. She had our seat arrangements aligned as we walked in the door. She sat me alone at a double desk while every other desk has pairs of two. So maybe I shouldn't make fun of her. I feel bad for the way she wobbled when she walked cause of her age, but cmon. There's no denying she's a complete snooze. As a knock was heard from the door, she, of course, wobbled to open the door.
"Aw yes. Welcome! Come in, Come in."
A girl had walked in. She was beautiful. She had looked familiar to me for a slight second but it quickly went away. I couldn't put my finger on it.
"Everyone this is our new student. Now, there's an empty seat right there! Go ahead and claim it baby."
The Teacher pointed to the seat next to mine. I felt my heart race as the slightly familiar girl walked over to the seat, set her backpack down next to the desk and sat next to me.
"Sorry." She whispered.
I turned my head to face her.
"For what?"
"I would enjoy having a table to my self. I assume you would too."
I watched her expression change as I stared into her eyes.
"No it's fine, i'd rather a new student sit than anyone I already know."
She laughed and looked away.
"Okay. Understandable."
I know her. I have to know her. There's no way I don't.
"Im Adam, by the way."
She faced me again with a slight smile.
"Hi Adam. I'm Laura."
