Hold Me In Your Everlasting Arms

Part 3 Senior year

  I met Emily in the third floor hallway of our school. She was standing with our other friends Lux, Ali, and Blake.

  I made my way over to them noting their drab posture but excited gestures.

  "Hey whats up?" I gripped my book bag and waved to some Sophomores i recognized.

"Senior year, the sun is shining, the leaves are falling. . ." Ali started looking off to the right and parting her hands upward like she was displaying a dream. Lux interrupted "And our English teacher is hot." She raised her eyebrows rocking back on her heels.

"For the last goddamn time Lux, Mr. Richards isnt hot." Ali said harshly.

Ever since freshman year Lux has been hitting on the AP English teacher Mr. Richards and we've always joked, but lived in fear of it happening.

"Fuck you guys anyway," she jokingly huffed, but thay was the thing with Lux, was she joking?

I was contemplating her motives to be inlove with this pretentious middle aged man, and concluded that it was his arrogance and playfulness that tuggs at her. Not to mention the taboo thought of getting it in with a teacher.

We compared schedules and saw we all had the same lunch period. I also had a few periods with Emily, and a few with Blake but i didnt have English with Lux which I was slightly dissappointed about.

Me and Blake made off to our first period class.

About 5 minutes into the period Physics was cut off by our principal giving our yearly "new year better choices" announcement. I looked over at Blake sitting next to me whp cross-eyed mimicked the entire lecture.

The period came to an end and i made my way to Mr. Richard's class.
