My eyes flutter open I look over to check my clock 8:15 in the morning.
"Damn my sister didn't wake me!"
I am going to be late for school. I threw on my normal I don't give a shit clothes and threw my bag over my shoulder I give my room one last scan making sure I didn't leave anything behind. I ran outside and as I grabbed my keys out of my jacket pocket to unlock my car, I look around to make sure there was not a bike in my way of backing out. I threw my bag in the passanger seat and drove.
I didn't check my mirrors much when driving I just looked ahead of me and hoped for the worse.
"Maybe I will die today."
Saying to my nonexistent friend in the passenger seat.
I sigh as I pull into my parking space. I take a big slouch back into my seat wishing I didnt have to be here.
My best friend,Jacob, knocked on my window. I swung the door open.

"What the hell?! You nearly scared me to death!" I paused for a moment to think about what I said.

"Do it again!"

"Hahah not today Heart lets go."

"Okay Okay no need to pull me out of the car"

I grabbed my bag and locked up the car.

"And I told you to call me Death not Heart."

"hey hey hey that is too dramatic hea- I mean de- chick." 

I shook my head and chuckled.
"How about Crimson?"

Jacob smiled in agreement. Jacobs smile was always a little off like mine it was a half smile yet not even. You can tell of we are happy or just feeling like shit that day with that smile.
We walked into the hell called school and as Jacob probably hoped for the best, I on the other hand hoped for the worst.
throughout the day I just couldn't wait to finish it.

"Crimson... Crimson... Heart!"

"Hmm What!?" Jacob was looking at me to answer. He looks into the direction I was.

"You know he is a big flirt right?"

"What who?"

"Crimson! Snap out of it! David is a big flirt!"

I look at Jacob and put my head down. I always knew David was a flirt my head was stuck though even a "little emo shy girl" has feelings for the hottest guy in school. The typical one too. Jock, almost too stupid, but knows how to make a girl laugh and LIVE!

"Yeah you're right Jacob. I doubt he knows I exist."

Ah yes now I sound like a love story out of a movie, but the thing is with me. Im not typical. I pushed my food off to the side and David came over.

"gonna eat that.. Ummm..." I rolled my eyes

"Names Crimson."

"Yeah well dude gonna eat that?"

I shook my head as he already ate everything on the tray. I put my head down and began to black my mind out to see what death would seem like through the eyes.

"Oh Crimson."

I look up to see David waiting for me to answer.
I look over at Jacob wondering why a school Jock would be taking to me in the first place.

"yeah?"

David smiled. "I saw you looking at me."
