BUBBLEGUM BITCH

Paisley Martin was starting her sophomore year off with her two best friends- Mason and Liam by her sides. She had spent all of last year and all of summer bonding with the two- becoming as close as platonically possible. She was simply hoping this year would be better in every sense. She's been 'out' for three years and has had one girlfriend, so love was something that was alluring to her. She also just wanted to relax, not be on edge 24/7. She was so not up for getting aches and pains from constantly being so tense all the time. Sophomore year was let loose year (hopefully).

"This is the one I was telling you about, I got it from a rare book dealer in Germany. It cost me two hundred bucks but it was totally worth it." Mason elaborated as he walked down the halls with Paisley and Liam. Paisley was wedged in between the two boys, their elbows constantly bumping into one another. 

"You're still reading about this stuff?" Liam inquired, his tone was shaky. They still hadn't told Mason about the whole supernatural situation, they weren't quite sure if it was such a good thing for him to know about. After all the supernatural wasn't all it was cut out to be, it was pretty damn shitty if you asked her. "You paid two hundred dollars for that shit?" Paisley scoffed, did Mason know what two hundred dollars would get her? She could buy at least a few months worth of oreos.

"I was attacked... by an armor plated giant wearing a bear skull. Ah- it left an impression." Paisley's head tilted in understandment. "Look-look have you ever seen anything like this?" Mason showed the two a drawn image of the terrifying berserkers. Paisley shivered at the mere thought of seeing one of those ugly beasts ever again.

"Ahh, no... never." Liam and Paisley sighed in unison, hoping they were the least bit convincing.

"And then there's this whole section about the nagual, have you ever heard of the name tet-tetz-tezcat-" Mason stumbled over his words.

"Tezcatlipoca." Paisley pronounced the word with ease, her smile proved her confidence. Liam rolled his eyes, what a know-it-all. The trio entered their first class of the day, history. One of Paisley's best subjects. Mr. Yukimura stood at the front of the class as everyone caught up with their friends, chit-chatting about their summer adventures, Paisley pursed her lips as she thought about her summer which consisted of Netflix, Liam and Mason.

"Take your seats everyone." Mr. Yukimura called out and Paisley immediately obeyed. She walked towards the only seat available but before she sat down she glanced to her right only to see a brunette whip her head around and tousle her hair. Hayden Romero.

"For God's sake." Paisley muttered under her breath, hoping Hayden would hear. Hayden looked at her with her devil eyes and blew up the pink bubblegum she had. She let it pop and began to chew once again.

"Paisley, you're not going to just stand there are you?" Mr. Yukimura asked her. 

"Maybe." The pitch of her voice rose. "The whole semester?"

"That actually sounds like a great idea, good one Yukimura!" Paisley put two unconvincing thumbs up in hopes to humor him. But of course it didn't work. 

"Paisley, have a seat." She groaned as she slowly sat down, she tried to sit as close to the left as possible. As she began to wriggle around in her chair she felt an uncanny texture sticking to her shorts and a small part of her thigh. As she slowly lifted the right side of her body- hoping to not catch the attention of anyone- she saw pink bubblegum sticking to her and the chair. Her eyes went wide with horror- these were her favorite shorts. She felt this anger bubble up inside of her as she turned her head towards the convict. Hayden had a smirk across her face, a menacing, dumb smirk. Paisley's mouth twisted in disgust as she sat her right half back down to the seat.
