chapter 5: Nah, i don't do pride.

The older you get,
The more you realize that
It isn't about the material things,
Or pride or ego.
Its about our hearts and who
They beat for.

I am so exhausted. I guess that's what I get for staying up all night chatting to Carlos. My alarm clock rang right after I shut my eyes.
Oh well.

“Rouge... Rouge! Wake up we are at school. Geez didn't you get enough sleep last night? You know what don't answer that question, I'm running late. Get out. ” I heard mom say but it didn't quite reach my nerves because my legs aren't moving.

“Rouge! Get—”

“Okay okay I'm going! Bye! ” I said jumping out of the car and shutting the door.

Damn. I couldn't even get it through the drive to school, now I have to stay awake for the whole school day. Why is this happening to me though. I reach my locker and start packing my books for the first lessons and the first period only starts in 10 minutes. Maybe I can make this time useful...

“Rouge your head does not belong in your locker. ” I heard someone say behind me which made me jump up and hit my head on the locker door.

I turned to see that it was Kendrick. He stood there laughing at me and I swear I could of killed this guy if I wasn't this sleepy.

“Argh you poor thing. It's only your second day here and you're... Half dead. ” he said, laughing.

“Well I wouldn't look half dead if it wasn't for your best friend keeping me up all night. ”

He looked at me with a surprised faced, well rather confused.

“Did y'all... ”

“Noo... No. What? No. Why would you think... No. ” I said while walking away from Ken as fast as I could.

“Okay okay, geez wait up it was just a question. ” he said trying to keep up to me.

We walk to our first period and we enter the room to find Carlos sleeping face flat on his desk.

“I wonder what keep him up all night. ” Ken said, sarcastically.

I walk over to the desk Carlos is sleeping on and hit the corner of it trying to wake him up.

“Wake up sleeping beauty. ”

“We all know that sleeping beauty wakes up with a kiss. ” he said, smirking with his eyes still close.

“Argh, do you ever stop? ”

“Come on, Red. I know you like it. Come. Join me. ” he said, shifting to  the left so I  can sit next to him. “I know you as tired as I am. ”

I sit next to him and lay my head on the desk. We look at each other for a while but this doesn't last long 'cause my eyelids had a mind of its own and just closed shut. A while later I heard giggles but my eyes were too stubborn to open so I ignored it. It was probably nothing...

“WAKE UP! ” the whole class said including Mr uptight grumpy-pants. I almost fell off the chair and as for Carlos... He fell off at the moment they said the word 'wake'.
