Tan-Legged Juliet

Chapter Two: Cranked

Beep!!! Beep!!! Beep!!! It never ends. My arm pressed the off button on the alarm clock and I look at the time, 8:30!!! "Fuck I'm late!" I run and got dressed into a plade shirt and dark blue jeans. I ran to my truck and started it up and sped, I ran to 1st period. All I saw were people staring at me... "Heeyyy" I said waving my hand nervously. "Mr. Delillo, have a seat" Mr. Carter motioned to the empty chair. I walked to it and sat "u maybe begin Mr. Carter"

"Ok, now without any further interruptions" he said glaring at me.

(20 mins later)

"Hey, hey you"

I turn around to see that kid from the lunch room "What's good?" I asked. He handed me a joint "get cranked up fool"

"What the fuck, no" I said to him trying to give it back. "Jason, what is that in your hand?" The teacher asked. "Uhh..." oh fuck... I had no choice but to make a run for it. I sped out of the room Mr. Carter following me I looked back to nothing and ran dead straight into that girl again. I helped her up "I'm so sorry" I apologized. "Hey, watch where your going next time kid!" She yelled. I stood back in shock and saw that the principle and Mr. Carter were coming... I'm sorry I thought. As she turned around I put the joint in her back pack to save my ass and through my hands up.

"Jason, in my office. Now!!!" The principal yelled.

They walked me in the office and I was in there for a good hour. I heard a knock on the door and turned around to see who it was.

Shit... My parents...

( 15 mins later)

I was sitting there listening to my mom ramble yet nothing was coming out. I looked at the door behind her and saw the girl walk past. I hope she doesn't get caught...

(In truck)

I fucking hate my parents... Especially my dad. I was deep in thought until I saw that girl... I'm gonna make her talk to me one way or another. I put my Ford in park and jump out. Man I should've never lifted it. I walked to the abandoned house she walked in the day before. Huh. I went to the door and slowly opened it... I looked around to see nothing "this is so shady" I whispered to myself.

"Hey what are you doing here!?!" I heard a voice come up behind me. I turn to see that girl " I'm sorry, I didn't mean to walk into your personal space"

"It's alright" she smiled and giggled at me. I gave her a side smile and laughed with her. "So where ya from cowboy?"

"Miami"

"Huh the sunshine state of America. I like that" she looked at me.

"So... Why don't you ever talk? I know I've made plenty of conversations with you" I came forward.

"Just didn't interest me"

Wow that hurt but I rubbed it off like it didn't hurt me at all "HA so what's ur name?" I asked.

"Li..."

I saw smoke and noticed it was a fire "what the hell"

"Oh my gosh, they found me"

"What, who? Who found you?" I looked around and grabbed her hand then took off running. "C'mon!" I yell and as we got to the door I turned the nob "fuck, it won't open!"

"What do you mean it won't open?"

"Look out!" I kicked the door down and there was police and fire trucks everywhere.

A police officer ran up the stairs "are you kids alright?"...

We looked at each other and looked back at him then nod....
