Faint Memories

Chapter 7: Miracles do happen

Back at school, basically it's all a mess. Someone stole the school wannabe popular girls bag. Some of the basketball players were suspended from playing due to their grades. Then there's Ashton who is surprisingly hitting on every girl and failing to get laid.

"So Gen, wanna help me with my chemistry homework?" He coos over my shoulder at lunch.

Teyla on the other side of the table, smirks at me while Eva just smiles.

I turn around and notice the sly grin Ashton has.

"You're even more basic than Teyla, and she's the queen of basic" I groan.

"Hey!" Teyla scoffs and brings her Ramen noodles closer to her chest.

"I don't get it." He says flatly.

"Dude really? Homework? Especially chemistry? We took that last year."

Instantly he looks over at Eva and Teyla then back at me.

"Look lets just have a night and get it over with. Help a guy out once in a while."

I roll my eyes and ignore him while finishing my essay due next period.

"Ask Eva or Teyla." I deadpan.

I look over at them and see Eva blushing and Teyla slurping her noodles like a turtle. They look at me and then Ashton before getting up and head to the bathroom leaving me alone with Ashton.

"Cmon, Gen. It's just one night."

"I am not loosing my virginity to you! I would totally do Arden before even considering you!"

He groans and puts his head down on the table. A few people around our table look at us and whisper to their friends. Great now a rumor is gonna go around.

"Gen, don't you wanna what it's like to have sex? I mean, it's not even gonna be bad if it's with me."

I scoff and keep writing my essay.

"Dude, at least tell me who would wanna do it with me." He begs in a low voice.

To ruin his secret, I might've whispered quite loudly.

"Gee I really don't know who would wanna have sex with you if you'd literally beg for them to do it," then I drop down to a whisper, "but it's certainly not me, so scoot your booty somewhere else."

"You suck ass." He growls.

"But never yours."

Eva and Teyla finally come back a few minutes later and I explain what happens in the most dramatic way ever. It ends up in my smacking Eva in the face and knocking over some water.

I slowly calm down before we discuss about our classes and how much homework that's due by the end of the semester.

Teachers man, they're just as last minute as us, cramming in projects at the end.

Eva and I head to 3rd period when we hear a random group people screaming and literally stampeding towards us. We jump out the way like the ninjas we are, but Eva manages to fall and almost get flattened. I pull her out the way and watch Everyone run to the courtyard.

Great we were just there, now we have to go back and see what's happening. Which I really don't want to do because it's about 32 degrees out.

Idiots.

Eva and I hop on to one of the benches of the table near the windows and look outside over a crowd of people. There I see two guys who seem to be starting up a fight.

"FINALLY A FIGHT!" I scream and drag Eva outside to get closer.

"Fuck it's freezing." I whisper.

See in our school, no one gets into fights. We have half of the school, who loves each other, and the other half who are just kinda there because parents.

The half of the school who is just there, learned to chill and go with whatever is happening but still talk about each other. There's no real beef. So this, is a legend.

"You're just an ass who won't even really fight!" Guy number 1 yells.

Since me and Eva are pretty short we kinda get looked down at from the rest of the crowd when we push ourselves to the front. Then it finally dawns on me.

"Where the hell is Teyla? She's gonna die if she misses this!" I scream over the crowd chanting 'fight'.

"I'll record it." Eva yells back and we keep pushing ourselves, while somehow still staying together.

When we get to the front, after many many insults and dirty looks, I see Teyla is already here with her phone ready.

"Well looks like the slut was here before us." I mutter.

We look over at the guys and one of them had their back to us, which honestly sucks.

"If you're gonna fight, could you move a bit to the right?! I kinda wanna see this!" I yell to guy number 2.

He looks behind him confused and then I see its him. Arden. The last person who I thought would get in a fight, especially with Guy Number 1, Ashton.

Ashton smirks at me before letting Arden take a blow to the jaw. I scream and jump when I see it all unfold.

Arden holds his jaw feeling the blood falling from his lip before grabbing Ashton's head and bringing it to his knee, full force.

I scream at them to stop, but other start trying to push me back before I bite one of them.

"Back off, I don't need you pushing me back. I'm a strong independent woman!" I holler before huffing like a bull and running straight towards the middle where I was with Eva and Teyla.

We scream at them to stop, but honestly, it's the most entertaining thing since that time Eva crawled to second base in softball, and made it.

While they start kicking at each other, finally loosing energy we all look at each other before nodding and heading back to the cafeteria.

"They're going to stop the fight soon anyways. Arden is loosing though." Teyla comments. We check the hallway for teachers and see some jogging towards the cafeteria. Instantly we hide behind the doors and wait for them to pass before heading out.

This is when they catching people who were watching the fight and giving out detention like the rest of our schools in the district.

Eva and I say bye to Teyla and run to our 3rd period class.

The class was empty. Everyone should be getting in trouble by now.
