Mindless Love

14: The Apocalypse

*Leah Pov*

"Get up Leah!"

"Ahhh!"I screamed, springing upright in my bed. When I saw that it was my mother, I groaned and slumped back down, knowing exactly what today was. It was the end of all things good. It was the day that would instill pain and suffering upon us all. It was the apocalypse.

It was the first day of school.

Well, it was my last year in high school, so I guess it wouldn't all be bad. But then I thought about having getting up so early, piles of homework, and impudent people that I would have to deal with five days out of the week, and I wanted to curl up in bed.

I dragged myself into the shower half asleep, and when I was done bathing I was slightly more awake, but still exhausted. I really regretted staying up last night on the phone with Chres.

When I got back to my room,  I dropped my towel and roamed through my walk in closet to find something to wear.  In the end,  I settled for a tribal black and blue crop top with a black skater style skirt and black Tom's.

"Leah, do you want me to take you to school? " My mom asked barging into my room. "Mom,  I'm naked! " I screamed, hiding myself behind my clothes. She laughed at me and rolled her eyes. "Do you want me to take you to school?"

"No, its fine, Serena's coming to get me. Now will you please exit the premises?" I asked. She just continued laughing at me as she walked out my room.

I was putting the finishing touches on my outfit, when Boss Ass Bitch by PTAF started blasting from my phone. I rolled my eyes. That song was exceptionally ghetto, and embarrassing when it went off in public, but I had to admit that it was sorta catchy. Serena on the other hand loved the song and set it as her personal ringtone so I could be reminded daily that, and I quote , 'Ima boss ass bitch, bitch, bitch.' So on and so forth.

I answered my phone, bringing a comb through my shoulder length hair. I didn't even have a chance to say anything before Serena started talking.

"Leeaahhhh! Get your ass downstairs,  I don't wanna be late!" She yelled through the phone. "I'm coming now. " I said hanging up and putting my phone in my bag and scooping up my binder.  "See ya Momma!" I called as I shut the door behind me.

Once I got outside,  I spotted Serena in the front seat of Craig's car waiting for me. I opened the car door and settled myself down in the backseat while Craig started driving. "Hey Craig, hey Rena." I said , my voice lacking excitement. "Hey Leah, what's up?" He asked. Before I could even reply, Serena cut in excitedly. "Its the first day of school and we're seniors, that's what's up!" she squealed. I rolled my eyes but Craig just laughed. "Is she always this excited on the first day?" I sighed in exasperation. "Every year."

The whole drive Craig and I had to listen to Serena ramble on about all the joys of being a senior. As soon as he pulled up in the school parking lot, and into a space, I darted out the car, desperate to get away.

While walking up the school, a motorcycle sped right infront of me, almost running me over in the process. "Aye next time watch where you're driving that stupid scrap of metal! You almost fucking killed me!" I shouted at the driver. He took his helmet off and laughed at me. "Leah chill out, I wasn't gonna hit you. We haven't even fucked yet, that would be a waste." Chres said laughing, hopping off of his death trap. He looked sexy ass hell in his Jays and matching Obey snapback and shirt. I wasn't about to admit it though.

I walked over to him trying to contain my laughter. "Like I'd ever have sex with you." I teased. He smirked. "You didn't say that when I was kissing all over your body in Ocean City." he teased back. I chuckled and slapped his chest. "We still didn't have sex, so shut up and be happy with the hug I'm about to give you." He smiled at me while I put my arms around his neck and he slipped his around my waist. We hugged for a few moments, just taking in each other's essence. I actually missed Chres a lot. I've only had the chance to see him twice since we left Ocean City. We weren't dating, which is what everyone else thought. Even I was beginning to wonder why he hasn't asked me out yet.
