The Debacle Named AvaRafe

3.School

Waking up from a dreamless sleep in the morning might not be such a big deal in this world. But for me, it really meant that my life has overturned overnight! You see, I live in fantasy. And dreamland has been my abode since time immemorial. So when I wake up from a dreamless sleep, it indicates that I didn't really catch any sleep at all.

The whole night I lay awake, staring blankly at the ceiling, finding various patterns of shadows made by the objects outside my bedroom window, whenever a car passed through the street. I know that I'm over reacting, but I can't help it. I've always wanted this to happen. We are basically babysitting our respective siblings, but still my brain can't stop reeling about the possibilities that could occur during this so called 'Date'.

Cuddling my pillow, I turn around and that's when I notice, it's already way past my waking time. Even if I do skip shower, I would be a good 20 minutes late to first lecture. Instantly I shoot up from my bed and dash towards the bathroom. I find myself in a critical position. I can skip shower and still get a detention for late arrival or get a shower and totally skip the first lecture and get a detention for bunking it. Deciding on the second option since the punishment would be the same, at least If I showered, I won't smell sweaty, I hop into shower.

After my shower, I get dressed in a white plain shirt that I bought from the target store for a discount of 40% and my baggy jeans. I leave my hair in a messy state, deciding not to waste anymore time. I make my way downstairs and find the house all empty. Obviously since everyone might be in so hurry this morning, they might have forgotten to wake me up. I enter the kitchen and find a note stuck to the refrigerator.

It says "Won't be home tonight, there's money in the dailyneeds-wallet, order something for dinner and babysit Phil."

This is a pretty much everyday scenario of this house. You see my Mum is a fashion designer. So she has to keep travelling around, attending different fashion shows with the models. Yeah you really might be surprised here, since I'm nowhere nearly as dressed up as a mere teenager and my mum dolls up ramp walking models. She has tried millions of times to atleast make me wear some girly dresses, but I'm nowhere near to giving up on my baggy Tees and sweats!

Grabbing an apple from the fruit basket, I hurry up to the door and start my walk to school. Usually my dad drops me to school, I know I'm too old to be dropped off by dad, I don't mind it though. Its not like anyone cares how I reach school or leave , for that matter!

After the 15 minute walk, the tinted glass building I aimed at arriving comes into sight. The hallways are deserted since the first lecture is still ongoing.

Since there are still a few minutes remaining for the second lecture to start, I turn towards the one place I can really stay in peace and enjoy myself. Yep, the library. Call me a nerd, but to me books are life. Before you start assuming that I'm so sincere and studious, hold your train of thoughts right there! Yes, I love books, yes I truly adore them, but the books I love reading are nowhere related to the study material taught in the school.

Wishing Ms. Prudy, our librarian a 'good morning', I hop to my favorite aisle: Thriller Novels. Yep, thats me for you. When girls my age are so into High School Musical and Mean Girls, I watch shows like Sherlock Holmes and The Mentalist!!

After searching aisle for a few minutes, I find the perfect book to be read. Getting it issued by Ms.Prudy, I rush out of the library. Again my clumsiness catches up on me, and I find myself tripping yet again and making my way down. Unlike the other time when I ended up in that devil's arms, this time around, I drop down unceremoniously on the ground. I feel my muscles tensing and I groan in pain.

There's laughter coming a few steps away from my position, and soon enough I hear footsteps making way to see me in my worst. How can people find pleasure in watching someone in pain is beyond me! I look up in order to chastise the person, but my words get stuck in my throat. Ofcourse it has to be Rafe Karrington! He seems not to have recognized me yet, and so he's pulling on his famous-charm smirk in order to help a lady up on her feet, offering a helping hand. Any other girl might have jumped right into his arms, seeing as seldom does he take notice of a girl. But not me, if he's thinking I'll be all thankful for his help, he's in for a big surprise!

Gathering my things, I ignore his hand and get up on my own. Without as much as a small glance his way, I turn around and start walking in my second period class, which happens to be maths. I so love maths! But before I take even three steps, I'm suddenly twirled around and come face to face with Mr. Arrogant. His eyes are blazing in fury. And for a moment, I feel scared to have brought out this reaction from him.

"What do you think you are doing here, sweety?" He says poison lacing around the word 'sweety', "Don't you know who's talking with you? Are you new here?"

Yea right, how the hell did I think he took notice of me at the park! He never really sees a girl in order to know her, it's always for using them as Ragdolls!

" Hey, I'm talking to you! What? Are you deaf ?...or mute maybe??? Huh?? You're nothing but a piece of shit. And how dare you reject my hand when I was trying to help you??"

"Help me? Or help yourself! I'm not going to let you walk all over myself! Just stay away from me!"

" Oh, so the shit talks too! Well nice to meet you there! My name's Rafe Karrington, and I'm the king of this school. And you are basically treading on thin ice, seeing as you're in my territory! I can make your life a living hell if I want to. But since you are a bit of a beauty, I'll cut you some slack! How about a date this afternoon?"

What the actual fudge? Is this boy for real? Not moments ago, I rejected his idea of using me and he's actually asking me out on a date? The nerve of this boy!

"Are you really that dumb or is today some special day? I just told you to buzz off and stay the hell away from me, and here you are, asking me out on a date? Nuh uh... I'm not going to be a laughing stock of this school after you are done and over with me! I, Avarose Kenny, reject you off of your god damned proposal!"

I whip my hair in a dramatic way, I'd seen someone do in those mean movies, and walk off, leaving him stunned.

When I reach the ladies' room, I come to my senses. I replay all that happened out there and all my sense of victory goes down the drain.

Although Rafe Karrington might be sweet for those he cares about, but when you get into his bad books, hell is to follow!

Congratulations to me, I just signed up for my own death wish!!
