Dead end. (ON HOLD)

“Bre, wake up. It’s time for school.” I nudge at the small hands pushing on me. Then Casey sighed deeply. She walked around my bed and climbed on top.

“Bre! Wake up!” Casey yelled. She started jumping on my bed and on top of me.

“Okay! Okay, I’m up!” I say rolling around in my sheets, pulling the pillows over my face.

“Then why are you covering your face with pillows?” She asked. Her voice sounding muffled through the pillows.

“Aubrey, get up. School starts in thirty minutes. Get up.” Serena’s voice called from my bedroom door.

“Come on, Cas. We need to get you dressed.” Serena said.

“She dresses-.”

“I dress myself.” Casey said, cutting me off. I roll my eyes at her grown-up behavior.

“Ser, do I have to?” I ask. Serena looks at me and raise one perfectly arched eyebrow.

“Yes, no more questions. Now get up, you haven’t been to school in a week.”

“There’s a reason for that.” I mutter as I got off the bed. Serena gives me an irritated look.

“Just hurry up, okay?” I nodded and rolled my eyes.

“You’re cranky in the morning.” I told her. She slammed the door. I grabbed some black skinnies and a blue sweatshirt that said “Phuck off.” I ran to the bathroom and took a quick shower.

"Since its Senior year for you guys; we're going to be doing a project." There were a chorus of groans and sighs. Ms.Florence looked at each and every one of us with disdain and disgust. I almost laughed at how much she hated us as much as we hated her.

"Here are the partners:

Mike and Kelly

Joanne and Tyler

Sydney and Liam

Micah and Victoria

Aubrey and Archer

Calvin and Serena"

Ms.Florence looked up form her paper and stared hard at us.

"Don't complain about your partners. What's done is done."

"Ms.F, Can I switch please. I don't want to be partnered with the pregnant cow" Calvin muttered from the back of the classroom. I quickly looked at Liam and saw him rise up from his chair.

"What did you say pest?" He asked. Calvin looked up at him. Trying hard not to show the fear in his eyes. Liam was at least three inches taller than Calvin. He also packed on more weight seeing as how he was the quarterback.

"Nothing. I didn't say anything." I gave Calvin a blank stare. Right, Boys could be such idiots.

"I could've sworn i heard "I don't want to be partnered with the pregnant cow." Liam says. Each word sounding more harsh than the last. Liam balled up his fist and Calvin shrunk back in his sit.

"Yeah Liam, i heard the exact same thing." Archer said. Egging it on. I suppressed a laugh.

"Okay, Liam switch partners with Calvin." Ms. Florence announced, sounding desperately bored. She sat down behind her desk and picked up a book. Calvin slightly ran to the other side of the class room to sit next to Sydney. Liam slid into the desk next to Serena's and draped an arm around her shoulders. Even from the front i could see the faint blush forming on her cheeks. Liam leaned into her and started whispering things into her ear.
