Forever and Ever

SIX-6-SIX

I woke up the next day to a massive headache. It felt like someone was taking a hammer and knocking my head in. If only I could just give the person a push......finally, peace and quiet.

"Riley if you don't get up now I'll have to go get my ice bucket and do an ice bucket challenge on you." I heard a familiar voice say. I peeked open my eyes and saw my father standing next to my bed holding a hammer and I freaked.

"Dad! Why in the world are you holding a hammer?!"

"Oh this?" He asked, "it's to knock some sense into your brain and to wake you up."

"You could have just shaken me awake," I said.

"Didn't work."

"Use a blow horn?"

"Didn't work either."

"Fine I get it, I'm up." I surrender and get up from the bed.

"Good, breakfast in 10 so chop chop you don't want Tyler to wait." He said.

"Mmhmm, wait Tyler?" Hearing that boy's name had snapped me awake.

"Yup, you two are going to school together." He replied nonchalantly,"so you better hurry."

I groaned, could my day get any worse?

***

"So, what's your favorite type of food?" I asked, trying to make small talk since Mr. Grumpy Pants wasn't uttering a single word, making this whole trip really awkward.

He threw a glare and me and began walking faster.

"Hey, wait up!" I cried and hurried after him. I ran so fast that when I had finally reached his side again I was panting heavily.

"Really? That was barely a kilometer and you're panting as if you ran a marathon." He stated, eyeing me disapprovingly.

"Ex-cuse me- for be-ing in a co-ma for 7 years," I said, trying to slow my heart beat down a little. Only minutes after did I realize that Tyler was still looking at me.

"What?" My simple question seemed to have surprised him as he did a little jump and quickly turned away.

"So, what-"

"We're here." He said, cutting of my conversation. As soon as we entered the school, he turned a corner and began walking a different direction. I figured he needed to use the little men's room so I waited outside. As creepy as it may sound, my only intention was to make sure that Tyler got to class safe and sound.

I waited and I waited. I heard the first bell ring but I continued to wait. Sheesh, how long does this boy need to pee for?

"Yo Canada!" I looked down the hallway and saw non other than my detention buddy, Dominic aka Doom Doom Daddy.

"Hey," I greeted back.

"What ya doing outside the boy's toilet?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh, my friend went in there and he's new so I have to wait and make sure that he got to class safely." I say proudly.

"Oh he did, his name is Tyler right?" Dominic said.

"How did you know?" I ask.

"He's in our chemistry class, Mrs Era introduced him this morning."

"What?! I never saw him leave the toilet!" I cried.

"Shhh, people are staring." Dominic led me away from the toilet towards the lockers.

"Are you sure you saw him even go in to the toilet?" He asked. I mentally kicked myself for being so stupid.

"Oh no, I missed first period too! I'm gonna be in so much trouble," I put my head in my hands in disappointment.

"Don't worry Canada, if it makes you feel better, I get in trouble all the time, so you shouldn't feel bad for something so small as missing first period." He said," trust me, I've done much worse."

I glared at him.

"That didn't make me feel any better." I stated deadpanned. He shrugged helplessly.

"I've got to get to class now, wait no, the principal's office first?" I stopped in my tracks to decide where to go.

"Class!" Dominic yelled and dragged my down the hallway to class.

"Dominic and Riley, you both are late. Go to the principal's office now!" My Literature teacher ordered.

"Told ya," I said smugly to Dominic, who just rolled his eyes.

As we turned around to walk out of the classroom, I caught a pair of blue eyes at the back of the classroom. Tyler. I'm gonna kill him once I get my hands on him.

"Come on Riley, let's go to the principal's office," Dominic said," wow, I never thought I'd hear myself say that."

I nodded and let Dominic drag me to the office.

"Riley, this is your second offense, so I'm afraid you'll have to have a heavier punishment. You'll be cleaning the girl's toilet. Dominic, firstly stop flirting with Riley, secondly you'll be in the canteen washing dishes and sweeping the floor. I look forward to seeing you after school, you may go."

That was how I ended up in toilet duty. Dominic's punishment didn't sound bad, definitely better than cleaning toilets.

I grabbed a plunger which was leaning against the wall and with one hand pinching my nose, I used my other hand to work the plunger.

Suddenly, my phone rang. I took out the plunger and reached into my pocket to pull out my phone. But because of the slippery case, my phone slipped out of my fingers and landed in the toilet bowl, in a pile of-

"Shit!" I immediately covered my mouth for uttering a fowl word but then again who the hell cares? My phone is in the toilet! I looked around frantically for a pair of gloves but non came into sight. I decided to go to the janitor's closet to see if there were any but it was locked.

"Dang it," I muttered angrily. I retreated back to the toilet.

"Okay, it's only going to take a few seconds. Just reach in and grab it. There! Now let's do this," I told myself and edged closer towards the condemned toilet bowl. I closed my eyes and slowly reached my hand in. In a flash, I pulled my hand out with my phone and immediately started screaming.

"Ew ew ew ew, gotta wash it all off! Gross!" I ran towards the sink and began repeating the 7 steps to wash hands properly. Once I had finished frantically washing my hands and felt that it wad enough since my fingers became wrinkled, I turned around and stopped short when I saw a pair of gloves hanging on a hook which wasn't there before. My eyes widened in shock and I ran out the toilet to find the culprit but he was too fast. Despite being slow, I had managed to catch a glimpse of blond hair turning around the corner.
