I slept in. Crap. I race into some clothes and into the bathroom to comb out my hair, brush my teeth, and slip into the shower for about 15 minutes. As I put my name on all my homework I chow down on a granola bar. My mother comes down the steps as I whip open the door, yell good bye and hop into my Bug to head to school.
I park my car and take one last look at my appearance in the mirror. I'm not sure why I'm so exhausted. As I am waiting in the office for a pardon slip from the warden I noticed the double doors open for a mass of students to flood in. I study the crowd looking for any familiar faces, just as I am about to ask the purpose of the crowd the wardens honey sweet voice fills my ears.
"You've only got two periods left honey; and lunch is about to end. Are you ok, family issues?" She hands me my slip.
"Broken alarm clock." I chuckle. I notice her new nails are a shade of beautiful baby blue. Just as soft as the rest of her features.
"Ah. Don't let it happen again Miss. Smith." Ms. Brandy warns, quirking her eyebrows at me.
"Of course not, I'll go out and get a new one after I leave here." I give her a large smile and grab my book bag off the sofa.
As I exit the office a bunch of teachers are screaming at a large group of kids, almost all wearing dark colors. I examine them as I rifle through my locker. They were all pale, messy hair and rosy cheeks. "Who here is responsible?" Our security- Thomas - yells. Two hands come up, the people make way; I see Andrew and Jake with their hands up. Oh gee what did they do now?
"You." He demands, looking at Andrew. Oh no. "Ever since you've got here your grades have been fine, but you're always in detention, and you don't get along very well with anyone. Do you want to keep your education?" I look back at Andrew; he doesn't sigh or roll his eyes like he normally does, he admits defeat for once, lowering his head to the ground. He mumbles something. "I can't hear you Mr. Hunter."
"Yes sir." He says, looking into his eyes. God those chocolate pits drive me nuts. "My apologies, I assure you that this will never happen again." I can tell he isn't sincere, I know when people are lying and I gotta say - He's a darn good actor.
I close my locker and start walking to my next class.
"Eve?"
I turn and smile at him; "I assumed I could nothing about your attitude - what'cha do now Andrew?"
He laughs shakily as he strides beside me; "Me and a group of outcasts got together after first hour, we ditched school, trampled a few miles away to an amazing little hidden knook and had a little fun." He smiles at me - the biggest one I've ever seen on his face. Even offering me a single wink.
"It was amazing! You should've been there dude!" Jake says, coming to slap Andrew on the shoulder, they look at each other and Andrews grin widens, he's going to crack a mean joke I know it.
"Why would she do that?" He asks in an innocent tone, "She's all the teachers' pets." I don't know why but I punch him in the arm, alot harder than I meant too, now that I have his attention I use it to my advantage, and say something stupid.
"I am not. I can be bad whenever I want." I sneer. Andrew raises his eyebrows - impressed. Wait, his eyes are a faint shade of blue, what? They were brown a minute ago...
"So, next time we 'hang out' you'll come with us?" Jake asks, I look at him, "Unless your a pussy and don't wanna."
"I'd love the opportunity to at least try."
Andrew shoves Jake, Jake almost falling on his butt. "Leave her be, come on."
And with that we go to class.
