Lara Smith

Chaper 2

Chapter 2

~Present~

“LARA WAKE UP ALREADY!” Frankie screamed as I continued to ignore her.

I am not a morning person. Like at all. I wish we could start our day around noon maybe that would be perfect.

“ LARA DON’T MAKE ME DO IT!” she yelled.

Oh crap. Not the water!

 “IM UP! DON’T DO IT FRANKIE!” I said as she picked up her special bucket.

She has this bucket she fills with water and salt. She threatens to dump it on me if I don’t wake up. She’s only used it twice, but in this case, third time is NOT the charm.

“ Lara, we are going to be late and you know Tardiness is not tolerated,” she said mimicking Headmistress.

 I giggled and got up. Might as well get ready. I went to the bathroom, took a quick cold shower- I take cold showers, I know i'm weird- and got dressed for school. I ran a brush through my hair and put a headband in it so it won’t fall in my face. I looked in the mirror. Gosh I hate these uniforms! We have to wear a white blazer with a plaid skirt and pantyhose. I also have my grey sweatshirt on because, if you haven’t heard, the weather in England isn’t exactly cozy.

Once I was done, Frankie and I headed down to the dining hall to grab our breakfast. I had my usual hard-boiled egg, orange, and earl grey tea. I love routine. I like to have everything planned. Especially my meals. Every morning its those three, lunch is a grilled chicken salad with water and carrot sticks, and dinner is usually red meat and a pasta with a can of pop and an apple or banana. Our school doesn’t offer any fried foods or processed junk. We need to eat well to fight well. I don’t know if i've ever had fish n’ chips, and if I did, it was before my parents passed and I don’t remember it.

Frankie grabbed her tray and we went to sit at our usual table with our other friends. There was Mellie, Kyra, Roman, Micah and Tristan. Mellie and Kyra are roommate and I have been friends with them since grade 8. Roman, Micah and Tristan are my guy friends and i've known them since grade 9, which is when our school integrated with our brother school. It was an all girl school, but the board of elite decided since we would be working with guys in the field when we graduated, it would be in our best interest to train with them. I can’t say I hate it. I mean who would? When we sat down at the table, we were immediately bombarded with a ton of questions from Mellie and Kyra, about w hat happened with Sandra last Friday.

~ Last Friday~

Frankie and me were walking through the halls, laughing and horsing around when we heard moaning from Sandra’s room. We went over and put our ears up to the door. What we heard was most definitely disturbing and we will be scarred for the rest of our lives. We heard Sandra’s moans and someone else’s. Guys. I looked through the peephole and saw Sandra, in bed, with Thomas drake! She is such a slut. She’s supposed to be dating Cameron Mitchell, but I guess she’s a cheater. Who am I kidding she’s been cheating on the kid since he asked her out. Poor Cameron.
