Walls

Chapter Four

Why is waking up the worst part of the day? Waking up at six thirty in the morning is living torture!

I finally manage to sit up, my hair flopping infront of my face causing me to let out a groan. Well, a shower is now what i need.

Standing up i drag my feet into the bathroom. Running the water to get that perfect temperature, I undress from my night wear, throwing them to the side. Stepping into the shower i let the warm water run down my body. I could stand here forever. Although sadly i cannot.

Putting shampoo in my hand i lather it up and scrub it on my head. Then rinse. I do the same for conditioner. What was next is body wash. Reaching over i grab my favourite vanilla wash. Putting some in my hand, then all over my body, and rinse.

Once out, i wrap a towel on my head holding my hair, and a towel around my body. Walking back in my room I hook up my speaker to my phone. This honestly motivates me to get ready. Don't ask why cause i dont know.

Im ready now. Smoothing out my uniform skirt, i look in the mirror. Perfect. Not to much make up, untamed hair is now straight and tamed. Lets go!

In the kitchen i grab and granola bar and the money my father left me. Heading out the door and into my car, once again jamming to muisc.

I arrived at school, actually being able to find a parking spot. I sigh as i walk into Charleston High School. Also known as CHS, the school full of cliques. As I take my steps down the halls and to my locker, it's booming with chatter about the previous party on saturday night.

I had heard that it was the shit. Everyone dancing, drinking, enjoying themseleves. And yet of course i didnt go. Im no partier like my friends. I can remember when Grace went to a party at some girls house. At first she was skeptical about going, but after a while she had fun. The next day she was telling me about all these fun things that happened, and wished i had gone. Although i didnt regret staying home. I was curled up in many blankets, eating a bowl of popcorn, and watching movies. What more could you ask for?

Finally arriving at my locker, i enter my lock combination, and bam, lockers now open, magic. I place my book bag inside, and grab my needed books. Biology. I heard we are doing a lab. Most likely dissecting something. Oh joy.

Walking once again in the halls wasnt very special, but walking into class it seemed like a mad house. Everyone is bouncing around, practically yelling about the stupid party.

The list of lab partners were written on the board.

Shawn & Casey
Luke & Kristy
Grace & Jason
Camila & Theodore
Michael & Izzy
Willow & Carly
Dan & Jacob

Theodore, I've only seen him a few times. I know its strange, we are both in the same class but have barely seen each other. In my defence, i sit in the front and dont see much of anyone in the class excpet for Grace, plus school practically just started.

A ring sounded across the room, and the rest of the school. The teacher instructed us to now go to our stations to set up and start the dissection. Getting up, i grab the goggles, gloves and lab coat. I always feel cool wearing this thing. I walk over to my, well Theodore and I's station and wait for him.

Not long after a tall figure stands beside me. Before I can mutter a hello he speaks.

"Its finally nice to put a face to the back of a head" his voice isnt high pitched yet not very low. Its sort of husky if i do say so myself. Although i just look up and give him a confused stare.

He mutters a chuckle "since school has started, all i have seen is the back of your head. So its nice to see what the other side of you looks like, and to say, I'm not disappointed" i already feel my cheeks flush. Play it cool! "Im Theodore by the way, but you can call me Theo"
