Riley's POV
I'm sitting in class. Every single eye in the classroom aside from that of our teacher is aimed at the clock on the wall, not even paying attention to what our teacher is saying as she just rambles on. She wasn't even saying anything that could even potentially be considered educational or important; she's at this rate just trying to stall until the day ends. The anticipation is killing us. We're all just watching the second-hand on the clock tick, ever so slowly. This is taking forever.
I sit back in my chair and look up at the ceiling, beginning to count the specks on the tiles. One, two, three, four; oh. My. God. This is agonizing. I look back at the clock. Any second now...
Rrriiiiiinnggg
Yes! The school year is officially over! Everyone cheers and leaps up, grabbing their things. I quickly grab my books and dash up to the front of the room as everyone else tries to squeeze through the classroom door at once.
It's finally the end of May and school will be out until the beginning of September. I dash out to the hallway and go to my locker. I do the combination for the very last time with a smile on my face. I fling the locker open and begin to stuff my backpack with the remainder of my things.
Max comes up to me, smiling, "Hey!"
"Hey!" I exclaim, shutting my locker, "You ready to get out of here?!"
"You know it!"
"Then let's go!" I say, taking her hand.
We go outside and get to the car. We get in and Max drives off.
"So are you excited for summer?" Max asks, jokingly.
"Is it that obvious?"
"Oh, just a little bit."
"School's out, I get to sleep in, I get to see my dad in a few days - on my sweet sixteen, no less; I'm finally gonna get my driver's license, and summer means I'm that much closer to being a big sister! This summer's gonna - "
"Hurt like a motherfucker!" Max sings, cutting me off.
I burst into laughter, "I was gonna say 'kick ass', but that was good."
"Will it kick ass even more than last summer? You got to spend almost all of it on Warped Tour with Motionless in White and you moved into a gigantic new house. Not to mention it was your first summer out of captivity."
"Okay, that summer was pretty good too, but this one is gonna be better! My sexuality has been out in the open for a long time now, so I can spend this summer with the girl I love."
