Forever Young

Chapter 2

I heard the faint wailing of my alarm going off. No no no no no I sunk deeper into my warm bed while blindly flailing my arm to hit the damn snooze button. Five more minutes I thought and just as I was descending back into a deep sleep I heard it again. Damn it! I tossed the soft duvet off of my body, forced myself to get out of bed and headed to the shower.

Now that I was no longer in my catatonic state I stretched my arms out nonchalantly and strode over to my walk-in closet, what to wear I asked myself. As usual I decided to keep it simple, I put on a pair of dark skinnies which hung low at my hips. a plain crop top which showed off my toned abdomen and let my auburn hair down. I examined myself in the mirror, I knew I'd hear it from Jessica for coming to school on the first day barefaced. Whatever I thought who was there to impress anyway. I slung my bag over my shoulder and walked across the extensive hallway and down the staircase to the kitchen where I knew breakfast had been served.

"Good morning beautiful!" I heard from behind me, I smiled Elis.

"Elis!!!" I squeaked as she gathered me up in a hug. Elis was the cook, but to me she was more like the mother I never had.

"How was your trip?" she asked.

"So much fun, the beach was beautiful." I decided to leave out the details of our nightclub adventures.

"I'm glad," she smiled genuinely "Now go on and eat hun, before the food gets cold."

**************

I sent Jessica, Bradley, David, and Richard the same text that read "Omw meet in the lot." there was no way I was walking in to school without being accompanied by my posse. I met Bradley, David, and Richard through Jessica and we've pretty much been a package deal ever since.

I pulled into my parking spot and shut off my engine, for some reason I found myself nervous about this school year. Maybe it was college apps and graduation, I don't know for sure, but my nerves were on edge. I jumped at the sound of tapping on my window, I was relieved when I saw David's face smiling at me through the glass.

I swung the door open and pounced on him as I shouted, "David!"

I felt his vibrating laugh, "Hey punk long time no see." he said with his arms still wrapped around me.

You could say I favor David most out of the 'tripple threat' (Richard, Bradley and David) he was by far the sweetest and tried to flirt with me the least.

"So how was Miami?" he asked curiously as he shoved his car keys into his pocket.

"Oh my god," I began to drool at the thought of our month long excursion in Miami, "I don't even know where to begin."

As I was filling David in on the details of the trip the other three pulled into the lot. Richard, speeding around like the senior lot as if it were a race track, came to a screeching halt next my car. Jessica and Bradley exited Richards m5.

"Jesus fucking Christ, Richard. This isn't Need for Speed remind me never to ride with you again." I heard Jessica bark at him clearly irritated.

Seemingly unfazed by Jessica's anger Richard made his way towards David and I. "Hey there sexy," He howled towards us.

I rolled my eyes, "You better be talking to David."

He slid his arm around my waist, "Oh you know who I'm talking to." he said with a sly smirk.

"Eww get off perv." I said jokingly.

I heard Bradley behind us "Hands of my lady."

I  sighed hopelessly, this is why I've proclaimed David is my favorite.
