Delinquent

○ Chapter One ○

Present Time// May 12th 2016

                          I woke up to the annoying alarm I had set on my phone. Today was in fact, one of the days I had to go to school. So I slid out of bed and, as I had been doing for the past 6 years, thought to myself; ' You're going to grow up a hero. You're going to love your own life and no one can tell you what to do.' I automatically felt better. Still in my pajamas I slugged into my bathroom, brushed my teeth, and washed my face. I grabbed a hand towel that was hanging off to the side and patted my face dry. I sunk into the little chair seated at the counter and started to apply my everyday makeup. Dark red lipstick, and different shades of brown eye shadow mixed and layered together to create something somewhat presentable. (Her makeup is Above) By now I was fully awake and for once, excited for school. I threw on a maroon tank top, black leather jacket and light wash skinny jeans with a few holes in them. I went back into the bathroom, threw my long blond hair into a ponytail and walked downstairs.

                         "Good morning honey." Great. Shithead was awake. 

                         I just ignored him, and went to the fridge to grab some bread. I pulled the toaster out from under the counter and plopped the bread inside.

                          "Where's mom?" Usually she was awake and making coffee. Not...shithead.

                          "Why do you need to know?" He's so rude, all I did was ask a question. 

                           "Nevermind." As if on cue, the toast popped up. I grabbed it and headed toward the door so I could put on my shoes. After sliding on my black vans I grabbed my backpack from the coat closet, and was out the door.

                            "Bye shithead" I snickered and got in my car. It wasn't that old, just a black 2008 Chevy Malibu. I backed out of the driveway. I threw my backpack onto the passenger seat and took a bite of my now cold toast.

                           First period. I had it with Naomi which was good. But I also had it with Joseph , my ex boyfriend. He's the one who introduced me to drugs in the first place. We broke up because I walked in on him fucking one of my ex- friends Jocelyn. 

                          "Aliceee!" I could hear her from a mile away. 

                          "What's up bitch?" I said this in my best manly voice, attempting and failing to represent some sort of pimp. "Wanna make some quick cash?" She giggled and ran over to hug me. We dressed almost the same, jeans and some sort of shirt with black vans and a ponytail. The only thing that was different is our hair. Her's is dark blue and pin straight, and mine is blonde, with waves. 

                         "cough-lesbians-cough" Joseph was trying to be slick. My eyes averted to his face and I glared at him. 

                         "Anyways, what do you wanna do this weekend. You know what today is right?" I was shaken from my trance by Naomi.

                         "Yes. It's like the 200th anniversary from the time we snuck out. Too bad it's on a Friday this year. It's not really 'sneaking out' if you're allowed to do whatever you want." It was a tradition. Every year since that night in 8th grade we 'snuck' out and stayed in a new place each year. Last year we stayed in a barn down the street from Joseph's house. That was of course when we were still dating. This year, we were going further.

                          "Yeah. Still it's a tradition. We have to do it. Don't forget the..'stuff'" She put air quotes around 'stuff'.  Stuff being weed and beer.

                         After 1st period I went on with my day. 2nd period was gym, and 3rd was Chemistry. Once I got to lunch, which was after 3rd period, I went over to my table and sat down to wait for Naomi. 

                        About five minutes later I saw the swish of her blue hair so I got out of my seat and jogged over to her. We didn't say one word until we got in the lunch line. 

                      "He was checking you out." She pointed to a boy with brown wavy hair, hazel eyes and a pale complexion. He was adorable. But,  Naomi thought everyone was checking me out all the time. It was a little embarrassing, because most of the time they weren't. They were just giving me dirty looks.

                      "Was not." I punched her in the boob and she doubled over, being over dramatic, clutching her chest as if she had been shot.

                      "I...I..I'm sorry Alice...I'll always..." With that she flopped on the ground, getting weird looks from everyone around us. I looked over and the boy was looking at us and smirking.

                       "Get up, you're such a dweeb." I grabbed her hand and pulled her off the ground. 

                       "Ugh. Bitch." Some snobby girl with fake blonde hair and 1 inch long acrylic nails shoved me to get in the front of the line. Who does that, especially when it's greasy pizza, or old orange chicken that's being served. I wouldn't even stoop that low. 

                          "Excuse me, honey. Is there a problem?" Naomi was of course, standing up for me which I absolutely hated. She knew it too. 

                           "Yes, yes there is. You were all goo-goo eyes for my boyfriend over there." She smiled at the boy from before and blew him a kiss which he rolled his eyes at and turned around to face his friends at the table. 

                           "I'm really feeling the love." Naomi snickered and winked at the girl, causing her to fake gag and turn around.

                           "I hate you. But I love you." I hugged her.

                           "That's what best friends are for right? It's like true love. You can tell it's forever before you even know the person.

                         After lunch, I had free period. So Naomi and I met up in the hall, and sat in the bathroom on our phones the whole time. 

                        "Hey, you know there's only 10 days of school left right?" Naomi turned and looked at me with adventure in her eyes. I knew this summer was going to be great, and so did she.

                         "Yeah..then we're free.." My birthday was also very very soon. And Naomi's was right after. We would both be 18. 

                         "Yeah..." She closed her eyes and leaned her head against the wall. "I think we were always free though.. Right?"
