Chapter 2
"There you are.." I hear the high pitched, unique voice trailing over my shoulders.. I didn't have to turn
around To know it was Tae.. She walked in front of me, sitting on the opposite side of the table, throwing
Her bag on the table.. "Bad morning?" I giggled , leaning on my hands.. I examined her outfit.. She was
Wearing her ROTC uniform, which she absolutely hated .. I don't know why , she didn't look like some
Of these other females, trailing along St. Dabney looking like lord-knows-what or why.. "I hate wearing this!"
Tae said, making a annoying pouty face.. I sighed "I know that Tae, you say that every time you have to wear it.."
I mumble while climbing out of the Seat, following her to the lunch line where we met up with the rude lunch
ladies, who hated all Teenagers who walked along The line .. I just smile and keep walking, taking my favorite: a
sausage biscuit With whatever juice the Lunch ladies pick for me and a Milk.. Seems like there is only one Lunch
lady at Our school, who enjoys what's she does.. You always get a smile and a "okay Sweetie, I got you" as you
walk out of the line. I then catch back up with Tae, At the table and begin preparing my biscuit when Kemi
strides in, With no food in her hand 'unusual ' I think.. Kemi always has some kind of breakfast item from a fast
food Restaurant or 3 dollars to buy a chicken biscuit, which she always gets a bad one, that has hard bread on
it.."Hey Kemi.." I say as she greets me and Tae before walking away to retrieve her Chicken biscuit. The students
Start arriving more and more. Here comes My Close friend Tayler, and My other friend Rose. I can say Tayler is
Really cool. We had it out a couple of weeks prier but settled out when realizing it was petty on both accounts.
We both know we can confide in each other.. Shoot, we see each other everyday almost, plus were stuck riding it
Out in the evenings against Tyler and his many confusing ways.. Although, they don't quite see eye to eye.. "Hi.."
Tayler says sitting her bag down next to me.. "Hey.." I smile then she joins rose as they go to get their breakfast..
When they come back and settle in.. Here comes Momo and Treona.. Both in their ROTC gear like Tae.. "Any
Homework?" Momo utters as her greeting .. I quickly start thinking, feelings relieved.. "Nope, not this time"
Treona and Tae both gave a huge breath of happiness at the same time.. Tayler and Rose join me in a giggle.. We
Sit and have conversation for a few minutes before I start think about Tyler. Today was a B day, which meant I
Went to all my favorite classes; English Comp, (fine arts), Math, (fine arts ) , then My extra class (fine arts)
Which means I got to see Tyler in the halls 3 times today, plus the time we have on the bus..
I get shaken out of my thought by The ringing of the bell and the corny joke given by Our assistant principal
Mr.Build "Section B , Be Gone" We all give him a glare as we clean our spots.. I quickly get excited "Tayler, come
On, Let's go to the Fine Arts Hall" of corse she would agree since Will, the senior she was crushing on, Locker
Was on that hall, Anyways Tyler's Locker was a couple down from My other close friend Ari's.. I could just
Pretend to either put my coat in Will or Ari's locker.. Just to see him that morning, or get a hug.. Which I
REALLY enjoyed.. We rushed down the hall trying to catch them both at their lockers, and We both were
Successful.. Tayler trailed off behind me towards Will's locker. I just so happened to look up and be eye to eye
with Tyler "Hey!" He says in his normal nonchalant cheery tone.. "Hi" I respond smiling brightly, something I
always Did.. " Did you Happen to catch any highlights on the football game last night?" I say, making
Conversation, I had heard , most guys Will be more Interested In a girl interested in what he is.. Frankly, I loved
Football ..so it was a plus plus for the both of us.. He shook his head starting to respond as our conversation was
Ended by the second bell.. By that time, Tayler pulled me down the hall before I could give a proper good bye
All I could do was laugh and wave, seeing him Look oddly confused , exaggerating a bit.. He gave a flirty smile
As he always did before placing his hands in his pockets, making his way towards class..
