Tick Tock Tick Tock

I sat in class staring at the clock, waiting, days dragged on blending together mixing like some sort of strange song, a symphony of sadness and joy I feel my eyes growing heavy 'I knew I should've got more sleep last night!' I lean my head against the wood of the desk, 'Don't Sleep Don't Sleep, fuck.' And with that thought the darkness consumed my vision.

"Sairento. . . Sairento. . . SAIRENTO!" I awoke with a start, my math teacher right in front of me her big frame sharing her look of anger. "Why are you asleep in MY class?"

"Sorry Ms. Kowelsky I just don't care about your class."

"Excuse me?" she replied with a pissed off look.

"You are excused." The class began to laugh, with that I was sent out the classroom I sat out in the hallway the silence of the school was meant to be soothing at this point, a glimpse of what the school is like when everyone is in class but to me, its a personal hell. I slump down against the wall looking into the class next door one of my friends sat in that class, right in front, Violets eyes tracing the work on the board, My best friend Jarred sat next to her writing all the notes he can into his open exercise book in front of him. I started humming a tune as I watched them work. They are the "smart friends" the only subject I'm remotely good at is music, well I'm good at poetry but that's because I can turn it into music. After another few minutes, I nod off again falling asleep slumped down between a wall and the lockers.

The sound of the bell wakes me up, everyones getting out of the class, I look up to see jarred standing over me.

"You pissed her off again didn't you?"

"Of course I did what'd you expect from me?" Jarred releases an angry sigh.

"Better, I expect better Isaac."

"Well that's just a bad expectation, you know me, I'm not a math kinda guy." We share a laugh as he helps me up.

"Now if you don't grab your bag, you'll be late home"

"Again" we both say in unison, I rush to my locker.

"You a bitch." Jarred mumbles.

"And you're a bastard." I stumble through the halls. Slipping when I got to my locker but just keeping myself up. Quickly grabbing my bag and everything else that I needed to do, excluding math homework. I rushed back to where Jarred is waiting, he's speaking with a girl just outside the building, I sigh as a devilish smile creeps across my face sneaking up to where Jarred was.

"Yeah, I can help y-you with the work I guess." Jarred had a rushed mumbling tone as I began to get closer.

"Alright see you then." The girls dirty blonde, almost silver, hair flowing just below her shoulders, she gives a warm smile as she begins to walk off. I give a chuckle as he sits there in stunned silence.

"Helplesssss, look into those eyes and the sky's the limit, you're helpless, down for the count and your drowning in 'er" I sing into his ear from behind him.

"Shut up," He lets out an angry sigh "Let's go we need to get to the bus stop."

"Heeeey I'm not done making fun of you Charlotte yet thank you very much."

"Yeah well do you wanna make fun of me and Charlotte or do you wanna get home in time for dinner?" Jarred snaps at me as I walk alongside him, I begin to laugh.

"Come on dude, You know My mums not even gonna be home until like eight and you've liked her since like 5th grade! Why don't you try, you know, asking her out?"

"Shut up!" we continue our walk making casual small talk when out of nowhere, SMACK I've been ran into.

"Sorry! So Sorry Isaac!" Violet speaks quickly.

"Violet, Apologising? Wow something's hit you hard in the head," She lets out a sigh "What's wrong?" her face was peppered with a blush.

"N-nothings wrong," She spoke quickly "I just thought I would apologize, that doesn't mean anything is wrong." She finished the sentence off with her normal, partially aggressive but mainly cheery attitude.

"Before you guys get into a flirting contest can we please get going to the bus!" Jarred practically yells, Violets face is again peppered with a blush.

"Yes, Sir!" I do an exaggerated salute, he shrugs off with another angry sigh.

"Bye, Violet."

"Bye. . ." Her eyes seemed saddened to see us leave so quickly but I was too busy getting pulled to the bus stop by Jarred to notice or really care at this point. The bus pulls up at the bus stop next to the school.

"Hurry the hell up Isaac!"

"Ok dude Jesus you're literally pulling off my damn arm!"

"Well if you would be quicker . . ." I wasn't listening I was too busy sending flirty looks at a group of girls, all of them giggling.

"ISAAC!" I snapped out of it as he stops next to the bus stop. Moving slowly in a line next to the bus, funnelling the people in "You're a douchebag, you know that?"

"Yeah, I know. . ."

"But you seem to never impress the girls you really like, eh?" My face red with anger and embarrassment. "I wonder how many girls you've actually liked that haven't been impressed, Hmm?"

"Shut up" the bus ride home was spent bickering with Jarred until it got to my stop.

"Later mate" I get off the stairs quickly waving thanks to the bus driver as I walk home. Being an only child to a single mum who was at work anyway I took my time, walking around for a while I was about 5 minutes from home when I feel a vibration in my pocket.

1 NEW MESSAGE FROM Violet.

"Don't forget to come to practice today"

"Since when do I forget to come to practice?" I mumble angrily as I reply to the message, walking into my house yawning. I head straight to the coffee. It takes me a few minutes of lazing around for me to finally get the inspiration to get up and grab my guitar, sling it over my shoulder, jumping on my bike and heading off to practice, something tells me this is going to be. . . fun.
