A.P. Freshmen

Chapter 5

*Paige POV*

Lunch. I can finally breathe.

School is suffocating, and i already feel the iron clutches of despair begin to strangle my heart and soul.

I know, I'm dramatic, But my life is so boring that fabricated drama is the only way I'll have something interesting to think about. Not that I want real drama. Real drama is much less appealing when it actually happens.

I scan the lunchroom and don't see my only two friends, so I take a seat at the only empty table available. As I take out my lunch, a salad and a roll, I see my friends walk over.

Aurora walks poised and elegantly, somehow keeping her willowy frame balanced on a pair of black heels. If I tried walking in those things I think I would end up killing myself. Impossible you say? I would find a way. She looks as if she swallowed something bitter.

Ivy however doesn't seem to care about hiding her emotions. I can almost see the storm cloud hanging over her head. She slams her brown sack lunch across from me on the table a few seconds before Rory sits down smoothy next to her. Ivy takes the contents out and swears loudly.

"The same goddamn lunch! I've eaten the same goddamn lunch since the first grade!"

She tugs angrily at her leather jacket.

"Obviously someone or something has got you pissed. What hapenned?" If I know Ivy, It'll be something that most people would just brush off. But she always had a knack for making things worse than they really were. Texting with her was basically looking at a sea of caps.

She opens her mouth to speak and I prepare myself for the rant sure to come. I always was better at listening than Aurora. I'm very patient.

*Ivy POV*

"I sit next to this grade-A douche named Trent Mckinly, who's OBVIOUSLY a total player--can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would want to ride on THAT pony--and he's always stealing glances at me and winking! Not even fucking Shakespeare could distract him! Like seriously What the fuck?" I said, all the emotions from second period flowing out of me like, well, a period. I shook my head, saying,

"Never mind just forget about it."

I knew I'd just brought up a new topic of conversation--boys. The one thing Rorey is an expert on, besides science, that is. She perked up at the mention of Trent, and quickly finished her bite of salad, with vinegrette dressing, her favorite. 

 *Rorey POV*

I started paying attention as I heard a name of which boys would be called. I poked my head to listen in more on the conversation. Ugh Of course the only thing she would be saying about him would be bad. Yes, I know. My parents would be so dissapointed if they knew how much of a horny person I actually am, not like I've done anything with anyone before, I just talk about things like boys and their attractiveness, and all that jazz. Who can blame me, they are great species. I really need to stop thinking about this now, I could go on for days.

"Oohh, Trent." I said in a mocking sort of tone.

"Shut up, bitch, he's annoying as hell. I do NOT like him. If anything I want to rip off his balls and shove them down his throat." Ivy finished stabbing at her sandwich as if it were Trent. I leaned over and whispered to Paige.

"The only throat she wants to stuff balls down is her own, I know sexual tension when I see it." I couldn't help laughing at my own words, especialy when Paige cackled her loud, definately unique-cackle. I knew what was coming now, and it was going to be deadly. Ivy looked over at Paige and I and got completely pissed off.

"Ugh! Excuse me bitch what the fuck did you just say?" Ivy said giving us that look that screams death.

"Nothing!" I laughed, I have known Ivy all my life, she doesn't scare me.

"Bitch, what the fuck did you say? You have to tell me!" She finished, I kept my mouth shut but Paige spoke up not wanting to die.

"She said that you wanted the balls in your throat, and you are building up a lot of sexual tension." Paige cackled again and I laughed some more. As much as she may want to deny it, it is totally true.

*Paige POV*

The three of us are so different, yet somehow we all came together as friends. I'm barely able to keep tears out of my eyes as I laugh.

Hopefully the second day of school will be better. If not, I will always have these two to complain to.

*Ivy POV*

Despite myself and my horrifying first day as a freshman, I laugh along with my friends at the stupid balls-down-my-throat joke. Obviously Rorey is the one who'd like to do that. 

The way things are going so far, I already know that every day, I'll be counting the minutes until lunchtime.

*Rorey POV*

I'm not quite sure what I think of this day. Well actually that's a lie. I'm dreading going home to my dad and having to tell him that I embarassed myself infront of my whole entire chemistry class, and that I may be rapped by some senior who wants a passing grade, but as far as I know, I'll be just fine.
