Too cool for school

School. This is what I have been dreading all morning, as if the run wasn't bad enough. I decided I needed to take control, I will not let him terrorize me like that. I grabbed my teil blue cropped tank top and my pink skinny jeans, with my black converse. I blow dried my hair but I still needed to straighten my hairs and do make up.

Running down the stairs, I saw Lacey sitting on the couch with Nolan. He didn't seem as bad as Shawn did. He seemed sweet and innocent. He was listening to Lacey talk about our mom. She had passed when Lacey was six, so she had some memories of her. " She was tall, and amazing. My sissy says I look just like her, can I ask you something? " She looked up at him with her beautiful blue gems we call eyes.

" Sure, why not. " he answered.

" Do you think she's up there watching over me? Sometimes, I think she is, but other times j forget she was ever here. " She said. Listening to her talk like that kind of broke my heart. She's too young for that. I continued down the stairs and walked in there.

" Hey Lace, you ready? " I asked, acting like I wasn't listening to their conversation. She popped up and ran to grab her bag. Nolan stood up and watched her leave and then turned to me. " What? " I snapped.

" Nothing, it's just, she's so mature for a nine year old. Makes me miss being a kid yah know, " he said with hesitation in his voice. Once I realized he was being truly sinsere, he dashed out the door to his car. Dad had said he or Anna would drive Lacey and I should go with Shawn and Nolan. Great, let the hell begin. I walked to Shawn and Nolan's car and got in.

" What the hell do you think you're doing? Why are you in my car? " Shawn exclaimed. He hit the steering wheel with the palm of his hand and just sat there.

" Your mom told me to, I don't like it either so get over it! " I told him. He was acting like a giant ass. He started the car and took off down the drive way and on we went. When we pulled up at the school I felt nervous, but then again I didn't care. I stepped out of the car and swaggered up the stairs of the school. The building was huge. It made my old school look like an elementary. Shawn pushed passed me, almost knocking me down. He turned and gave me his usual smirk, but I gave him the finger.

I walked around for a little while just finding my way through. " Hello new girl! " shouted some of the guys. ha. " Hey hunny come this way! " they proceeded.

" As if, in your dreams jock-o-saurus rex! " I replied, bitchier than ever. They continued to watch me as I walked down the hall.

" Hello, can I help you, you look lost. " a friendly voice asked. I turned to see a girl with red hair, no orange/ red but a vibrant red. " I'm Tamara, " she said.

" Um, office? " I asked. She pointed down the hall and I could see the office from here. I started down that way but when I reached it I saw Shawn in there. I was too scared to go in, knowing he'd throw daggers my way with just a look. It sent shivers up my spine just thinking about it. I forced myself to walk in there anyways. He immediately turned my way and I could feel the icy stare shooting through me.

" Uh, excuse me? I'm, here to pick up my schedule, " I said to the lady behind the desk. She looked sweet.

" What's your name dear? " Her voice old and biddle. I gave her my name and got my schedule. Quickly, I ran out if there to find my class. I started heading to my class when I bumped into someone.

" Oh, my apologies, I wasn't watching where..." I looked up to see this gorgeous tan boy with red/brown hair. He had these bright green eyes, almost cat like. He reached his hand down toward me, " need some help? " he laughed. I gladly took his hand and got up.

" Uh, thanks, but I should be.." I stuttered through some of it. I looked over and saw Shawn walking this way, but he hadn't noticed me yet. " Shit! Now I really have to go somewhere, " He looked at Shawn and understood.

" Then come with me, I'm heading out, don't want to go to class today. " He said. j nodded and he grabbed my hand and we darted for the door. I had just barely gotten out without another torment from Shawn. Once outside I started laughing, and clicking my thumbs on my phone.

" So, listen, I don't even think I got you name earlier. " he said. That's right, u was in too much of a hurry to tell him. I just smiled to myself.

" Bergundy. "

" Colin, Colin Maxfield. " He said like I should know who he is, but I just gave him a confused look. " Soccer star, really you don't know me? "

" Can't say that I do, I'm new in town. " I told him. He nodded. " So, mister ' Too cool for school' where are we going? " he just smiled.

" That's for me to know and for you to find out. " he said as we drove down the road.
