Preparation

I fucking hate Wednesdays. Hump day. Heh. The middle of the school week. Why decide to wake up early today of all days. Still groggy from waking up, my phone buzzes and I see Nathan's name pop up.

N: "Rise and shine dude. I'll be there in 10 minutes. If your not ready I'm just going to walk in. See you soon."

Remind me again why I let him know about the key under the pot plant. I reluctantly get up and chuck on the uniform hanging over my chair. Note to self. If I'm going to go to school or anywhere. Don't tell mum. Grabbing my bag and putting lunch and a drink inside I see a note.

Mum

"Hey mate. I knew you would end up waking up just in time for Nathan to get here to grab you. Everything you need is already in your bag, Charged DS, everything. I know you get rowdy so just try and pretend to care and get through the day. See you when I get home."

Mum

She knows me too well. Checking my phone I realise Nathan will be here in about...

N: "LUCA GET DOWN HERE OR I WILL FIND YOU MYSELF!"

Shit I thought I was safe. I race down the stairs, knocking into Nathan as he rounds the corner towards the stairs knocking him over.

N: "Fuck dude that hurt."

L: "Sorry come on let's go"

N: "Alright alright I'm coming. Besides your the one who made me wait"

L: "What do you mean you said 10 minutes?"

N: "Yeah but I was already here. I just got bored."

I will never understand this guy I swear. Racing to the car, we hop in and make our way to school. I only live 10 minutes away but still. That was by car. And I really don't ever want to walk half an hour just to get to this hell hole. It's weird. I don't even have any bad memories here. I have no reason to hate school. My friends are here and yet. I just resent the idea of ever having to come here.

N: "Did you hear from Erica this morning? Apparently she is fine and coming today. Should be good. Can't wait to see her again."

Nathan has probably the biggest crush on her. But of course just like a movie or a book. (HEY I'm supposed to be the one breaking the wall here) She doesn't feel the same way. Tragic really.

L: "Yeah she messaged me yesterday. Only a bug so she should be fine now."

The rest of the ride is quiet and my first and second class are maths and science. Literally could not bother with those classes. I wish I could press a button and make time go faster. I whack the door handle in anger.

(Well I guess that will do)

Time Skip to Lunch

That would have to be the slowest classes I've ever had. (well fuck you to)

But im out. I'm free. Well sort of. Erica comes running over to me and gives me a hug.

Erica: "You know I know why your never here right? But hey I do miss you man. We don't get to see you all that much any more."

L: "Yeah I know. I would say sorry but as you said. You know why I never come."

Erica: "I don't get how you can even play games so much. Yeah they are fun but that is all."

L: "Yeah but you don't play the games I do. The rush you get when you are on the brink of losing. And all seems lost. And then the team clicks together. And you pull a win out of no where. The adrenaline you get. It is just. I dunno. I can't even explain it really well."
