The Golden Eyed Girl

Aspen

I woke up to three loud knocks to his bedroom door. "Aspen wake up my little étoile, you have school today." I groaned at the aspect of school, the torment of Thatcher and his gang. They never failed to mention my father or the fact that I was pansexual. At least I'm not American, yeesh that would be bad.
When I finally get up I take a shower and contemplate what to wear. I choose a maroon sweater and black skinny jeans. My ratty old converse were a must and I grab a brioche for the walk to school.
I stop by Merlots house to pick her up and I know, I know weird name but it's pronounced Merlow and every time I ask she just looks down in shame and mutters " My mother.."
When I knock on the door she rushes out and starts fast walking down the street. "Merlot what's wrong!" I complain as I quickly pace after her. She just grunted at me while I pestered her endlessly. Suddenly she stoped and looked at me. "My mom is a little mad because I may have accidentally blew up the dishwasher trying to wash my guitar."
         "You did what!" I exclaimed. She only grinned at me and turned the street Corner so that we reached the school courtyard. "Merlot wait up!" She turned around and waited for me to catch up before we walk to the table Hadley and her friends sat at. "Hey Hadley. What's up." Merlot said as she slid next to her. Hadley was the most popular girl in school and had wide blue eyes, soft blonde hair and the most chirpiest personality ever. Everything was fine till Thatcher walked up to the table. "Hey look it's the lesbian, the pan, and the emo." Every one knew me and Hadley weren't straight but no one but Thatcher cared."leave them alone!" Merlot yelled.
Thatcher pushed my chest so that I fell on the pavement. "Fuck." I muttered when I fell. I decided to just wait for it to get worse instead of fight but I heard a sickening crunch and looked up to see what it was. Hadley had punched Thatcher in the nose. He ran off with his "friends" behind him. "Aspen are you okay" Merlot said. I nodded my head but my arm felt like it was on fire. The bell rang and I jogged to class.
