Just Another Stupid Love Story

Chapter Two: Poison

I finished putting on my old school uniform as I buttoned up the green button on the side of the green plaid, pleated skirt that fell just below my knees. The skirt was rather long and most girls seemed to roll it so it’d reach a few inches above the knee just to get yelled at by a teacher. The girls not only had to wear these insanely long skirts but had to also wear a white, button up blouse along with a button on tie that had the same design as the skirt.

On our feet we had to wear plain white socks that had a simple green rim around the top along with polished black sneakers that seemed to break after the first month of owning them. If we were to wear our hair up or put any sort accessories into it we’d have to use either green or black and it couldn’t be too large.

The teachers at the school were fairly laid back aside from the principle, the vice principle, the secretary and my maths teacher. Running a brush through my bright blue hair I stared into the mirror at my reflection. I had the sort of eyes that seemed to change to different shades of blue due to my mood. I could never figure out which colours were which other than that light blue meant happy.

My blue hair seemed to fall a few inches past my shoulders. I had straightened my normally wavy hair and pulled my fringe to the side with a small black bow. Placing the brush onto the table I wandered back into my bedroom as I ran my fingers through my now knotless hair as I walked over to my bed where the rest of my uniform laid.

I pulled the brand new black blazer over top of my uniform, only year 11 and 12 being allowed to wear blazers due to ‘Senior Privileges’ as our principal says. The blazer wasn’t just black but was lined with a matching green material while on the pocket that seemed to rest above the heart on the left side sat the school logo along with ‘Riverside High’ written a bit below the school symbol.

Letting out a half hearted sigh I flicked my hair over my left shoulder before picking up my white cat collar and putting it around the upper, part of my left wrist. I never went anywhere without one of my cat collars, I had many different colours and types but today it was just a plain white one that had around 20 small, fake diamond studs along with a silver cat bell.

Smiling I headed towards the right side of my bed where my school bag had been placed. My school bag was a large dark green bag that had been sold at the school. These bags were compulsory for every student to have, the bags were all the same colour and all had the same logo on the pocket at the front.

Picking up the heavy bag that contained far too many books and unnecessary items for my concern, I chucked it over my shoulder, groaning when the bag put its full weight on my back. I was about to stand up when a small glint caught my eye. Furrowing my eyebrows I pushed back the sheets that were falling off of my unmade bed to reveal my old diary that I had abandoned when it had been filled.

The cover of the diary was a blotchy green that seemed to contain all shades of greens while on top of the green it seemed to have an abstract sort of golden vine growing from the bottom of the diary while the back of the diary remained the same blotchy green as the front. Picking up the diary I began to flick through the pages, my messy writing difficult to read.

“Alisa, your bus is here!” I heard my mother scream from below over the radio she played every morning.

“Thanks Ma!” I yelled back before stuffing the diary into my blazer pocket and racing down the staircase.

On the way out I waved a goodbye to Ma as I placed a quick kiss on her cheek before leaving the house all together. The bus driver opened the doors when he noticed me racing out of the house, him nodding in a way of a greeting as I hoped onto the filled bus. I grinned happily at him before moving to an empty seat at the front of the bus.
