Piercings And Tattoos

1

The very start of a Monday morning was hell. Not only was I meant to get up at 6am but I had school as well. School was literally death, sitting in a classroom for hours on end was definitely not my cup of tea. My eyes fluttered opened to see the time 6:15 across the table on my digital clock. Contemplating whether I should get up or not was a hard trial, but what was I going to do all day anyways. I dressed in my own time and dragged my feet down the hall to my bathroom to hastily do my hair and makeup. My phone buzzed softly against the marble sink top, with a yawn I checked the message before placing it back down not bothering to reply at the time. Making my way back to my bedroom, I grabbed my shoes,bag and books and left my house to head over to the bus stop.

"Sup." my best friend, Serena greeted me at the stop. I head nodded towards her before clearing my throat to speak.

"I'm so tired, double ancient is going to be hell."I grumbled when the bus pulled up along side the road and everyone pushed and shoved to fit through the narrow doorway. We managed a seat on the bus and like I always do, I shoved the earphones into my ears and blared my music. Several stops down the bus took an unexpected turn and left everyone protesting but they stopped when the bus pulled over and opened its doors. These kids spelt delinquency, piercing, tattoos and dyed hair walked down the aisle and took their seats. I took a side glance at Serena who was staring at the boys at the back.

"Dude, do you want to get shived?" I whispered and nudged her shoulder, she turned back around and the rest of the way was dead silent.

I stood at the schools closed gates with Serena as more buses pulled into the bus lane and spewed more kids out. Of course we were all intrigued in the three new delinquents that stood over in the corner minding their own business. Once the school gates flung open everyone stampeded into hell as kids were getting pulled out the crowds for their uniform. I zigzagged through that crowd over to our usual table and placed my books down when I glanced over at the 4 boys standing at the end of it. I held my spot unable to move as Serena slammed into me. One of the blonde haired boys had cold brown eyes, black bands tattooed around his wrists and brass knuckles tattooed over his knuckles. My gaze shifted from him to the boy standing there with his arms crossed over his chest.
His hair was that black it was almost blue, He wore a bright red baseball cap but his eyes... Violet; the most amazing shade of violet. The browned haired boy leaned forward on the table and winked with his green and gold eyes before my breath hitched slightly on the last boy on the right. With barbells in both of his eyebrows and a lower lip piercing, his hair dyed an electric blue. His stare was endless and felt almost threatening, irregardless he was intimidating. I couldn't tear my eyes from him until Serena picked up my stuff and hurried off away with them. I followed her down to the canteen and threw my stuff into my arms to begin texting.

"I've got to tell Sky, she will lose it." her thumbs texted at lightning speed as I kept glancing back towards the entrance of the school. Ordering our lunch we decided to causally walk back up to the front where there was small groups of people scattered around. The table was empty and there was no sign of the boys anywhere. A few moments later we were joined by Jess and our other friend Dana.

"Dude, where they at?!" Sky exclaimed with excitement before the bell for first period rang.

"We could meet them on the stairs, or they could be in our class." Serena slapped Sky's arm vigorously unable to contain her own excitement. Dana and I walked ahead towards the stairs and headed to class, yet there was no sign of the 4. We settled down in our legal studies class and everything seemed normal until the door opened with a slight creak and two of the four walked in.

"You must be the new kids, take a seat and start copying the notes down." the teacher said as Violet and Tattooed knuckles kid sat down a row behind us. I felt the whole row go tense as our chatter ceased to exist. With a sigh I jotted down the notes before making small talk with Serena beside me, I barely raised my voice from a whisper when I felt the tap of cold fingers on my shoulder. I turned to see the blonde boy smiling at me.
