Out of my Mind

Chapter 1

Commotion fills the room while Mr.Garrison tries to explain the production of gametes to the class through a PowerPoint. As usual, no one really listens, which we will regret later if he decides to throw a pop quiz on us. I feel a tap on my shoulder and turn to see who touched me. The kid who sits behind me, Porter, hands me a note while pointing to Merlin, who sits in the front corner of the room. I look up to make eye contact with the big eyed, naturally swollen lipped, nerd and am taken aback instantly when he winks at me while licking his lips. Disgusted, I hurriedly look away and  look at  the piece of neatly folded paper. 

"To: Evangeline xoxoxoxox" is fancily written on the front of it. I shiver at the thought of why he put so many x's and o's. Slowly, I begin to open the note. Inside I find a short message.

"When you gone let me tap dat ass, E?" is there with two boxed that have "now" and "later" inside of them underneath it. I cover my mouth to hide my snicker. I think to myself, when will that boy stop with this pervert shit. I glance up from the note to find he is still staring at me, probably waiting for me to check a box. Instead of choosing one of his choices, I stand up and walk over to his desk. Holding the sheet of paper in his face, I place it on his desk softly and say in a seductive tone, "Maybe when  I'm dead." And I sashay back to my seat.

Suddenly, I feel a vibration on my butt, obviously my phone. I reach for it quickly before it gets the chance to shake it's way out of my back pocket. On the screen it displays a text message from Harry, or as I have him in my phone, "Boo Thang". The message says "Meet me at the back entrance at the beginning of lunch" Well, I guess I am going to skip with Harry and the other people he asks to skip with us. Hopefully not a lot of people.

I might as well check my Instagram while I'm on my phone. 1 comment, 2 likes, and 2 new followers pops up in orange at the bottom of the screen. I was hoping for more than just that but I'll take what I can get for the moment. Plus, school is still going on, so why would everyone be on Instagram. This is a place for learning, not taking pictures...I take that back, no one willingly goes to school to learn anymore. 

"Ms.McClendon," says a booming voice. I instantly look up to see Mr. Garrison looking at me from the front of the room. I try to hide my phone. "Why don't you tell us what the process of creating sex cells is."

"I don't remember," I slickly state. Most of the time I would be able to get away by just saying that, but apparently he just isn't going to let me get off with that answer today.

"Take a guess," he declares, " You must've learned at least one thing today in class."

"Umm." I say uneasily. "Is it sexual reproduction?" I ask. 

"Nice try, but not even close. Maybe you would be able to earn more of an education if you weren't tapping away on your little devices while I am teaching. Put it away!" He commands sternly. I do as told, turning red in the process. Why couldn't he have just left me alone.

The bell sounds, and I immediately wonder why the bell didn't come when I was being humiliated. Two hands grab onto my shoulder, and I already know who it is.

"Hey, did you get that text from Harry?" the voice asks. I spin around to face Korrina. Korey for short. 

"Yeah," I reply, "so you going to ditch with him?" I ask.

"Of course!! Who wouldn't? It's Harry, for Christ's sake. God of the Gods. We're lucky he think's we're cool enough to skip with him. I'm definitely going, and you are too. You're coming even if I have to drag you out there by your feet."

A burst of realisation and excitement runs through me and I start to smile really big. "I guess you're right. Let's go before they think we're not coming."

We race out of the room and to the back entrance of the school. We are nearly out of breath when we get there, but the adrenaline running through me keeps me going. We stopped at out lockers to drop off our book bags so we wouldn't have to lug them around where ever we are going.

Harry raises his arms up as soon Korey and I step outside, the doors and cheers, "The gangs all here! Now let's go." He motions towards Brock, quarterback of the football team's truck. We all fit in since there are only five of us. Me, Korey, Harry, Brock, and this other blonde chick who looks really nice. 

"Where the hell are we going? You made my phone go off in class which almost got me a detention." I take back what I said about her being nice. She may look nice but she's got a mean and deep voice. 

"Calm your tits babe, you didn't actually get a detention," Brock reassures her.

Harry turns around from in the front seat and whispers loud enough for just me to hear, "Brock and Sage have a different type of relationship, if you know what I mean." He gives me a small smile and I giggle a little. Sage turns her head to me so quick and asks in an defencive voice," What's so funny?"  

I was about to respond when Harry cuts in with a, "Don't even start right now, Sage. E didn't do anything to you." 

"What type of name is E?" she says, which makes me mad, so I come in with,

"It's short for Evangeline. Ever heard of a nick name. Or are those too hard for your brain to comprehend?!" A chorus of "Oo's" echo's through the car. I know I shut up, Sage because she just looks at the rest of them while trying to say, "It wasn't even that good a comeback." But of course, no one listens to her because it was a good comeback.

We all sit in silence for a while more, only hearing the click click of Korey's fingers on her phone, until Brock turns on the radio.

After a while of listening to country - my least favourite type of music- the car slows to a stop at a quick trip. Both guys unbuckle their seat belts and start to get out, so I do the same followed by Korey and Sage. When we're all in a mini circle in the parking lot, Harry states we are going to get some food then just hang out for the rest of the school day. This is probably going to be one of the most lay back days of my school year. But who doesn't like lay back.
