Death Saved Me

Chapter 1: Ice Cream and Rejection

Picture of Sydney

I groaned as the teacher went on and on about the periodic table, when will this torture end? When will I  ever need to use the periodic table in real life anyways? I can't take these useless lessons anymor! I could be shopping right now, or doing nothing in the comfort of my home.

God finally decided to have mercy on my soul when the bell rang.

"Yes! Finally!" I screamed jumping out my seat. A few kids gave me weird looks, but I could care less. I gather my blank notebook shoving it in my bag. Giving the teacher a salute on my way out. "Until next time Mr.Payne." He just rolled his eyes at my antics.

Making my way to my locker, I smiled as I saw my boyfriend Duff standing there. He was one of the hottest guys in school and captain of the football team. He wasn't your typical jock hooking up with cheerleaders, instead he decided to date me, little miss nobody. We've been going out for three months now and it's safe to say I think I'm in love.

"Hey babe, how was class?" He asked, wrapping me in a hug.

I pulled away to look at him. With his low cut his black hair always look as if he just got out of bed. He has mesmerizing blue eyes that I always get lost in. It's no wonder girls are always throwing themselves at him.

"It was torture as always, I swear Mr. Payne makes his class boring on purpose." I told him.

He chuckled. "Well you're free now and you're all mine."

I blushed at his words. "Actually, I made plans with Sydney after school."

He frowned at me me. "You're always with her, cancel and hang with me."

I shook my head, "I can't cancel today, I canceled last week for you. I eventually need to have my girl time."

He sighed pulling away from me. "I'll see you later then."

I frowned as I watched him walk down the hall. There was no reason to chase him since I still wasn't going to cancel my plans. My frown deepened as Crystal caught up with him. He didn't blow her off like he usually does, instead it seemed he was making conversation with her.

Crystal was what you called a walking std. She has slept with half the school already. Which she can do since guys fall at her feet. So you can imagine her surprise and anger when Duff chose me over her. Even so it hasn't stopped her from trying to get with him.

"Why the long face mama?" Sydney asked coming up next to me. I turned towards her, a smile crossing my face.

My friend was gorgeous. Her long black hair, Carmel complexion, and killer attitude made the guys fall at her feet.

"Nothing, was just wondering why the school smut was walking with my man." She laughed at my choice of words.

"I'm sure it's nothing, are you ready to go?" She asked looping her arm through mine. I nodded as we made our way to the double doors.

Stepping outside I felt myself relax, the sun was shining and the breeze was just right. There was no reason to stress.

We made our way to Sydney's Range Rover, I never understood why she picked this car. Jumping into the passenger seat I tossed my backpack in the back.

"Do you think we can stop and get ice cream? It's the perfect day for it." I asked her.

"Your treat, right? Since I am driving there." She smirked at me.

"Isn't it always my treat?" I rolled my eyes. Both of our parents were loaded, but Sydney's parents cared about how much she spent and what she spends it on. Whilst mine throw me a card and disappear for months. I was an only child so I spent most of my life with nanny's. Sydney was the closest thing I've had to a sibling. Sometimes I wondered what it was like to have parents that cared.
