Paper Birds

Chapter One

As Delilah and I rush to our classroom, it was clear to see that we were going to be late for class. Shit! Shit! Shit! We both whispered to ourselves, as we start to pick up our speed walking into a jog.

I whipped out my phone checking the time. 10:29 it said. One minute left. As we quickly race down the hallways, all I can think was a timer ticking down in my head.

29...28... 27... We turned around a corner passing the girls locker room.

20...19... 18... We pass by one of the school's staff members. "Stop running inside the building!" She nagged. But me and Delilah ignored her, as we start running faster. The bundle of Lilly's that I was holding were starting to get ruined. Then we spot our classroom down the hall.

5... 4... 3... The bell rang was we bust through the class room door trying to reach towards our seats, But suddenly I ran into a tall figure.

As I crash into the persons back, I fell hard into the blue-tiled floor, landing square on my back. "Mother fu-" I quickly cut off my sentence noticing my homeroom English teacher; Mrs Thomas was standing behind her desk, giving me a weird look.

"Um... Ms Black... Are you alright?" She said, with confusion swirled in her tone. The person I ram into turned towards me. It shocked me to figure out who it was, I've noticed that smuggle face anywhere.

He grinned, that same grin I've always hated. Jeremy Chase. He stood there folding his arms across his broad chest, In baggy ripped jeans, a black T-shirt that has a red skull on it with the words "Five Finger Death Punch" that were spray-painted across, and a leather jacket. Not to mention his hair, which was quite long and shaggy, a dirty blond he always announce.

To me he looked like a complete stereotype.

"Yeah Melody, are you OK?" He said, overusing the sarcasm in his voice. To you, you expect such a tall and built figure would have a deep voice. But really, his voice is so high, he basically has the voice of a bitch. A bitchy bitch. He was mistaken as a girl countless times when he talks to people on the phone.

I gave him a look that he should recognize by now. The please-shut-the-fuck-up look.

"Yeah... I'm fine" I finally said slowly getting up. I hear everyone start to mumble and giggle, while the jackass was laughing his ass off in my face.

When Delilah notices that I was about to drop kick his faggot ass out the window, she dropped her overly large bag (that's bigger then her) and rush in front of me, standing between me and Jeremy.

"Alright look ass-" she looked at Mrs Thomas and cleared her throat. "Melody is dating Lucas, captain of the track team. If you so happen to harass my friend, me AND Lucas are going too-"

"Kick my ass?" He simply said, finishing her sentence. Mrs Thomas scoffed, putting her hands on her hips. "Watch the language!" She warned.

Delilah smirked. "Well no shit Sherlock" She spat folding her arms.

Everyone in the class started to laugh. While Mrs Thomas gasp dramatically. "Alright that's enough profanity thrown here!"

Then something spark inside me, then suddenly words slip out of my mouth. "Faggot" I said.

He narrows his eyes, and opens his mouth, as if he was going to say something. But I turned with my back facing towards him and walks towards my seat.

Delilah and Jeremy did the same.

"Thank you" Mrs Thomas sigh in relief. "Now, let's begin our lesson"
