Stuck in the middle

5. Stuck in the Middle

Dylan and I got stuck looking for another school since he got us expelled. But he did it because he was being brotherly and defending me from Sean

Ha! Who was I kidding? That was a stupid move he pulled.

Eh, I really didn't like that school anyways.

Here we are now, looking at another high school in front of us.

"Let's hope this could be it," Dylan said, "I'm tired of walking around."

I nodded. "Me too."

We walked in and got another tour of the school. It was nice. Lots of space and classrooms with plenty of extra curricular activities.

The nerdy side of me was telling me she's in love with this school.

"I think this could be it." I bounced excitedly.

I grinned widely at Dylan while the student aid led us through the school and he returned the smile and ruffled my hair.

"You and your nerdy-ness sis." I just grinned.

"That's it for the tour." the counselor said. "Just mail us your transcripts and they'll mail you everything else. You could always come in and pick it up though."

"When can we start attending?" I asked.

"As soon as they get your transcripts. Once it's in they'll know which core classes to put you in and you guys could choose your electives but it will be limited since you both are starting late."

"Thank you." I said smiling brightly. Dylan just nodded.

"They'll be expecting the best from you two. Not trouble." he murmured glancing at Dylan.

I nudged Dylan discretely and he chuckled darkly.

"Dylan," I cooed. "Wakey wakey. It's time for school."

"Five more minutes," he mumbled in his pillow.

"Dylan. C'mon. I wanna go to school. On time," I added.

I pouted my lips and stared at him with wide eyes. Even though he couldn't see me, I knew he could feel my gaze on him.

Finally he started groaning. He groaned in his pillow for a few minutes and then he rolled over and huffed.

"Ugh!" he grunted.

"I love you!" I chirped skipping out of his room.

I was dressed and ready for school. I had a white button up shirt with a skirt that flowed to my knees and cute flats on. I had on my messenger bag and a beaded bracelet. My hair was in a messy bun and my bangs fell carelessly over my eyes.

I puffed out my cheeks and blew on my bangs. They moved out of my eyes and I grinned as I stepped out onto the porch. I could wait for Dylan out here.

I sat on the rocking chair and watched as others kids in different ages walk to their designated bus stop. Dylan and I had to walk to get to school.

The sun was shining and it felt good against my skin. I let the tension in my body go and closed my eyes.

I jumped when I felt hot air blow across my face.

"Ow!" I groaned rubbing the top of my head where it collided with something hard. "Dylan, what-"

I stared wide eye at the boy in front of me.

"Hey." Sean greeted huskily with a smirk.

"Sean. What are you- My brother- You- Err..." I couldn't form a coherent sentence as I stared at him.
