Life Full of Surprises

Chapter Two

The final bell finally rung at its normal time of 2:45, and I practically sprinted down the hall to my best friend's locker. Not being able to stop myself in time, I ran straight into the flipping locker door that Luann just opened. I collapsed onto the floor, groaning in pain, while, of course, Luann was dying of laughter, making herself fall onto the ground.

I stayed laying on the ground and rubbed my sore nose with my eyes closed. After about two minutes, I opened my eyes to see big brown eyes staring back at me, which made me scream, not realizing that it was Jonathan. Which, in turn, made now both him and Luann laughing hysterically.

I soooooooooooo hate Mondays.

When they were done laughing at me, which seemed like years, because by the time they were done laughing, I was leaning against the lockers shaking my head at the two morons that I let myself be around. "Are you guys done being hyenas?" I grumbled.

Both of the two nimnards were wiping tears from their eyes and nodded. "Hey, Jonny, tell mom that I won't be home till later, because I'm going to Lu's."

"Alright, Scaredy Cat," he chuckled. Which earned him a glare from me, which didn't do much other than make him laugh. "Alright I'll see you guys later." He walked off.

Luann was still trying to fully recover from her spaz-attack. I shook my head and grabbed her hand, dragging her down the hall. "Pull yourself together, woman. Because I'm not going to drag you all the way to your house." I let go of her hand, hoping that she was calmed down enough to actually walk on her own.

She quickly caught up to me. "So...why did you run into my locker this time, dumbass?" I huffed. Yes, I have done it before, but the other time was because the floor was just mopped and Luann thought it would be smart to use her locked door as a finish line to race down the halls, and I slid into it. But that's besides the point.

"I wanted to leave right away."

She laughed, "You really want to know don't you."

"You don't say, Sherlock," I stated, with sarcasm dripping from my words.

We got to her front door and walked inside. "We're home!" Luann shouted to whoever was there.

We got a reply from her younger sister, "You take too long, Luann! I wanted to go see the movie!"

I raised my eyebrow at Lu. "Movie?"

"Movie." Was all Luann said before she ran up to her room.

Not being in the mood for any more running, I just casually walked through the front entrance and went up the stairs, taking every other step. I went through the upstairs hall to the last door and walked into Luann's room.

Her room was a standard size of a bedroom. It had blue walls with her bed side against the wall in front of me. She had her dresser against the far right of the wall in the right, and her desk was right next to the doorway, which I was still standing in.

Luann was digging through her desk drawers, looking for something. "What the bean are you looking for?" I asked.

"Something," she replied. I huffed, growing impatient. I dove into her bed and crawled beneath the blue and purple comforters. "Don't fall asleep too soon, JJ." Luann turned toward me holding two slips of paper in both of her hands.

I sat up and looked at them strangely. "What are those?" I questioned earnestly.

"Ohhhh just some tickets to see the new Star Wars and some tickets to go to the Sleeping with Sirens concert you've been wanting to go to," she said casually, bouncing on the balls of her feet, which made her straight, blonde hair go up and down as well.

I jumped out of the bed, stumbling because of the blankets, and grabbed the tickets from her hands. "No way!"

"Yes way!" She smiled, her hazel eyes, clearly showing the same amount of excitement as I was feeling.

"But—how?" I practically screamed.

"Easily."

I squealed in excitement jumping up and down with Luann doing the same thing. "This is flipping awesome!"

After our 15 minute fan-girling, we sat on her bed and talked about how we thought it was going to go and stuff. "When are they?"

"The Star Wars tickets are for this Saturday, and the concert tickets are for the 18th of October."

"That's awesome!"

Once we were done talking and stuff, around 6:30, I decided it was time to head home. I said my goodbyes and walked out the door.

As I was walking home, I was listening to my music on my iPod humming along to the song "Better Than Drugs" by: Skillet. I heard a few cars drive by but ignored them.

I was nearing my house with "King for a Day" by: Pierce the Veil blasting through my earbuds when arms were wrapped around me, getting an painful grip on my side. I tried to scream, but a hand went over my mouth.

"You'll regret everything," a deep voice said. Then I feel something hard connect to my head and I quickly let the blackness consume me.
