BENEATH A PRETTY GIRL SMILE

TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS

So I had a blast for a Friday night to say the least Saturday and Sunday wasn't that fun in a blink Monday is back. I woke up earlier than usual with a pained shoulder. I guess being off the tracks for a couple of weeks almost months have its down side effects, was I riding that hard? Guess so. I went down stairs and grab a pack of ice no one was out yet so I got to avoid the questions and glares of course which was great for me. In the process I put a ham sandwich in the microwave. I went back to my room and got settled in the shower with the ice pack on my shoulder it wasn't swollen but it had a reddish kind of look and it hurts. After a few minutes I remove the ice pack and took a shower. If Chin was here she would say fun comes with pain but as usual she would be my doctor and my cover planner - meaning she would come up with an excuse to why my hand is like that or if I got caught getting the ice pack she would always have an excuse ready and waiting. I miss her sometimes I wish I could just forget that part of my life or better yet put a back up on my life that would be awesome honestly, but that's not the way life is right. With memories and regrets in my head I got a shower and got dress for school I wasn't into the dress up mood so i just wore a knee length dress and a flats you know girly modern style.
"Baby girl your sandwich is ready" my dad voice called from down stairs. I make my way down the stairs.
"Thanks dad" I returned as I opened the microwave.
" Honey what time did you get home last night, I didn't hear when you come in" my mom popped in with a frown on her face. taking a breath not wanting another fight like every other mornings I just simple turn to her "around seven mom" i said knowing that's not entirely true but its better than her bringing  up the accident again right??. Without another word she just nod her head. I on the other hand sat myself down at the dinner table and ate my sandwich. From the ride last night I felt different although I was in a little pain but I will get used to it again right, yeah totally. My father was busy getting his things ready for work my mom on the other hand was talking on the phone with I have no idea who. She is busy lately just thinking about it I wonder if she is working on getting a job. Back home she was a infant school teacher, I miss that kind of mom though, the one who Chin and i would go to talk about everything a mean we almost told her about our visit to the track but then again that was then. I was pulled out of my trance when I saw a hand waving in front of me, in a flash my eyes interlocks with a pair of crystal eyes and a smile slowly went on my lips mirroring the one am getting. Jay what the hell is he doing here at this time. Instantly the voice of that girl draws me back to reality, he had a girlfriend and he kissed me what a jerk. Without even much as hi I look up to him the smile that was forming was replaced with a straight face. He look taken aback by my sudden change of mood. Trying to lighten the air he spoke first
" am here to ride with you to school. I open my mouth to answer but instead Kevin answer "Her car is in the garage heads up here is the key" With that said my brother shoot me a mischievous grin. Jay walked out with my baby keys. Totally not in the mood to argue i just wash my hands and grab my back and head out.

"Bye mum"

"Bye hunny” with that I went towards my car. As expected Jay was well seated in the front waiting on me. I get in and without a word I drove to school. I didn't even as much glance at him but I know he was giving me weird stares. I parked my car in the usual spot and make my way to class. Jay on the other hand try to catch up with me but thanks to the Jessica that didn't happen. I stroll through the hall looking for Sash at the point of giving up I saw her talking to Jays brother and the others. I slowly make my way to the group.

"Hey you guys what’s up"

"Hey sweet cheeks" The boys greeted in at once. I roll my eyes as normal. To my surprise Sash was blushing to something that Jackson said. Weird though how she and Jackson seems to like each other a mean not that it's a bad thing but with Jackson reputation I really don't want Sash to get hurt. Without another taught I heard some footsteps coming our way me being me I spin around in a flash and my eyes connect with Jay's again for the second time this morning he seem to be reading into them slowly searching for something am guessing answer but before he could step closer to me the bell rang, (saved by the bell) the other guys weren't even paying attention to what just happen so thank God last thing I want is their questioning faces and assumptions.
Taking the bell as a cue I grab Sash and head to class.
"Bye guys" I said without even turning to see Jay's reaction. As soon as we were in front of our first class Sash pull out of my gasp
"What the hell was that for girl" she ask raising both eyebrows.
Really not wanting to tell her the real reason I just said" miss Lewis don't like late comers" I blurted out. I know Sash is cool but I myself don't even know why the fact that Jay have a girlfriend bothers me so much is it that I like him or do I?? I don’t know, but that kiss It had to meant something not just to me but to him right??? Right I guess.
So wrap up in my thoughts that I totally zone out Sash.
"GIRL are you sure your okay??" She half shouted in my ear.
I jump a little. My hard thinking face was quickly replace with a genuine smile as usual "yeah gurly am fine was just thinking about something, backseat? I ask trying to remove that suspicious and concern look on my best friend face.
"Yeah sure" we both make our way to the back of the class. Back in my pervious school I would be at the front of the class with blond glue to my left that memory never left my mind. Those were the days.
Unfortunately Miss Lewis was late for the first time something must be wrong because from being here she was never ever never ever late. Am almost here for a month and to the way I have picked up and have adjusted to the environment is excellent for a new comer. Well am now popular I think since every student know the "blonde bitch", as Jessica and her minions put it. A mean I did nothing to them well according to them I am stealing Jay's attention a mean Yeah he is hot but come on you can't tell me who to talk to, might as well put a name tag on him. Dwl- (dead with laugh) just a suggestion Smiles.

Class started a bit late but nevertheless thanks to textbook we got tons of notes to write about the melting pot
