Not Your Stereotypical Story (Before You Exit/ Toby McDonough)

Chapter Whatever (1)

~*~*~

I woke up to the sound of a crash, dammit not again, I hopped out of bed and rushed downstairs. I took one look and noticed that my dog Bailey had knocked over the side table again, she does it almost every single day. I picked up the table and looked at Bailey, she has one brown and one ice-blue eye, her fur is stereotypical for a husky, and she's a loving little dog. I don't really know if you want to hear about me, but hey, if you do I should probably tell you the my name is River, I have purple hair, I'm a natural brunette, I have grey eyes, and I'm about five feet and eight inches tall.

Right now it's summer break and I've been enjoying it with my best friends Nova and Jon.

Nova is about five feet tall, has pink hair, she's a natural blonde, and her eyes are blue with that golden touch to them.

Jon is six feet and two inches tall, he has brown hair, green eyes and is more of the popular type, which doesn't make sense for our friend group considering Nova and I are at the bottom of the food chain.

I heard my phone ringing upstairs so I bolted up the steps, it was on my bed, so I dove onto it and answered my phone quickly.

"Hello?" I said.

"Get dressed, Nova and I will be there in fifteen minutes!" It was Jon.

"Okay! See you then!" I said.

Ten minutes later I walked out of the bathroom with my hair straightened and I was wearing a basic black tank-top with tribal leggings. I walked downstairs, put Bailey on her leash, and walked out the front door. Jon pulled his car in the drive-way with Nova in the passenger seat.

They hopped out and hugged me, Nova looked at Bailey and said, "bring your pup with!"

"Sounds good, uhm hold on though," I ran back inside, grabbed my phone and Bailey then ran back out.

"Pile in!" Jon said.

Nova and I climbed into the back with Bailey, that's when it dawned on me to ask where we were going, "Where are we going guys?"

"You know that mall that allows dogs?" Nova asked.

"Yep!" I said.

"That's where we're headed chicky!" She said in a supper-peppy voice, yep, that's Nova for you.

I looked out the window and saw Bailey's reflection, I turned and looked at her, I picked her up and put her on my lap.

We had been walking around for about a half an hour now, Bailey got tired so I've been carrying her while she sleeps for about fifteen minutes now. We were walking past the food court when I heard something behind me, I turned around and the next thing I knew I had nacho cheese covering Bailey and me. I screamed in frustration, when I was able to see again I looked up and found that the biggest bad-boy at school was standing there holding an empty bucket that once held nacho cheese. He was smirking, I looked down to see that Bailey had slept through it all, but I highly doubt she'll sleep through this..

"I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU JUST DID THAT!" I screamed at Toby, I handed Bailey to Nova.

"I can't believe your dog slept through that.." He said, which only irritated me more.

"WHY YOU INCONSIDERATE JERK I'LL KILL YOU!" I screamed as I jumped at him, but I was held back by Jon.

Toby laughed and said, "Good luck with that," as he looked at Jon with a smirk.

I felt tears welling up in my eyes, I tried to blink them back, but a few escaped as I choked out a few words, "Let's go guys.."

I looked at Toby, he still had a stupid smirk on his face, but it faded when he saw that I was crying. I looked away before he could say anything, but all of his friends were egging him on and telling him he did good. Nova put my cheese covered pup in my arms as Jon picked me up bridal style and carried me out of the mall.
