The Reason it Happened

Chapter 5

Tuesday flew by quickly, before I knew it I had to return to my dreaded spanish class. It was 7:12 Wednesday morning. I really considered skipping spanish and just going to history. My thoughts were interrupted by Emma pounding on the door.

"Sonny wake up! You're running late."

I rolled out of bed. It was already 7:20. Man, time flies. I had no time for a shower today. I trudged to the bathroom and washed my face. I felt a little bit more awake now. I proceeded to brush my teeth and figure out an outfit to put together.

Now that I knew I would be seeing Micah on monday and wednesdays, I had to dress to impress. I walked to my room and threw on a crop top and some jean shorts that I paired with my high top converse.

I put on one of my favorite hats, and smothered on some vibrant red lipstick. Pop of color, check. I put on some deodorant and a spritz of my perfume.

I found Emma and Lainey looking dead, sitting down on the floor in their bedroom. I laughed slightly "What the fuck are you guys doing?"

Lainey looked at me "We put on our shoes and couldn't be bothered to get up." I just nodded my head, weirdos.

The morning air was crisp, and I was ready to take on whatever squirrel 'stache had to throw at me.

We left Willowbrooke right on time, my obnoxious alarm went off as soon as we stepped out of the building. "See guys we're early." I said smiling. Emma and Lainey just rolled their eyes, clearly not appreciating my enthusiasm so early in the morning.

"Walk or tram?" I asked.

"Lets walk. The air is nice, and the walk will help wake me up." I silently agreed with Emma.

The walk was silent, halfway through I asked, " so what do you guys have on the agenda today?"

"Today I have chemistry class. I hate it, and the people in it. They're so pretentious. After I get home I think Tyler's coming over, we'll probably grab a bite to eat. Then I have practice and homework. I can probably cook dinner tonight." I was glad Emma's coffee appeared to be kicking in.

"Sounds like you have a busy day."

She sighed "That's life."

"What about you Lainey?" She just looked at me "I'm doing the same thing I do everyday."

I stared at her, anticipating for her to continue her statement. She never did. At least I tried.

"So have you switched out of that spanish class? I remember you telling me about that insane professor?"

"Yeah I'm still trying to get out of there. I'm on the waitlist. Hopefully I only have to put up with his crazy ass for one more week. " Emma nodded in understanding.

"Do you know what you wanna switch into?"

"Anything is better than his class to be honest."

Before we knew it, it was time for all of us to part ways. I made my way into the familiar building and took the same seat that I had last class. I'm glad none of these idiots took my unassigned, assigned seat.

I settled and took out my notebook. The least I could do was pretend to be prepared for this class. I look around and everyone has their textbooks out, and they're reading material. OH SHIT.

I just remembered vaguely as I was running out of class last time I was supposed to check out his syllabus. I looked at my phone, I have 9 minutes until class is supposed to start.

I quickly pulled out his syllabus and in all caps it stated "THERE WILL BE A QUIZ AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY CLASS THAT CONSTITUTES 70% OF YOUR GRADE." Damn. I was screwed.
