Chapter Three-Bitch The Rainbow

Beep Beep Beep Beep

I groaned. Another day of hell.

Of course with it being the second day of school I wasn't nearly as put together as I was on the first. Instead of there being an outfit set out from the night before there was nothing, no plan. Oh well, I started ripping through the piles and piles of clothes to find an outfit suitable for today. I grabbed black leggings and a gray knit sweater. Then brushed my hair roughly before taming it with a french braid I learned how to do on youtube. Satisfied, I ran down stairs and made myself some coffee. While waiting for the coffee machine to finish I then poured myself some cereal and started scrolling through Instagram.

After putting my coffee into a water bottle I started on my way to Jade's house. The walk to Jade's house was familiar. Comforting. I walked past h houses that I'd seen a million times before and smiled at the sound of the fall leaves crunching under my feet. I rang Jade's doorbell and could faintly hear her yell:

"COMING!"

I heard her rushing down the stairs to open the door.

"You're early." she said.

Her long dark hair was pulled up into a messy bun on the top of her head. She wearing an oversized flannel over a white shirt and some dark washed jeans. On anyone else it would've looked messy, but Jade had that thing where she could make a bathrobe look elegant.

"You're late." I replied shrugging.

She rolled her eyes before disappearing back into her house; only to reappear a couple seconds later with some toast and black backpack slung over her shoulder.

"Run bitch run!" she yelled

I watched as she dashed ahead of me on the route to Hayes' house. Then I rolled my eyes before running after her.

-----------------------------------------

"I win!" she yelled doing a victory dance YOU SLOW!"

Rolling my eyes for the second time in 3 minutes. I let her have her moment.

"Whatever let's just go" I replied chuckling

I knocked on Hayes' door silently laughing in my head at Jade's dancing.

"What did Jade win?" asked Hayes locking the door behind him.

"A 'race'." I said making visible air quotes "She just screamed and started running here."

Hayes nodded. This wasn't completely out of the ordinary after all.

"JADE!" I screamed "Let's go! We can't be late on the second day of school!"

-----------------------------------------

When we arrived at school I instantly scanned the yard for Caleb. Finally spotting him, near the trash bin I ran over to him, not really caring if my friends were following me.

"Hey." I said out of breath

"Hey! How was your sleep?"

My heart fluttered a little in my chest.

"Good. You?" I asked, trying my best to sound as casual as possible.

"Good."

We kept talking and just chatting. I nervously played with my hair, a habit of mine that i've had since I was little. Soon the bell rung and we kept talking all the way to our homeroom. The both of us sat down in the same desks as yesterday continuing our conversation quietly until we were interrupted by Mr.Roshmer burst into the classroom.

"Listen up chumps! You better be quiet or you'll have detention until you're eighty!"

The class went silent. Apparently it was a dictator kind of day.

"Now, I'm going to do the attendance and you will NOT SPEAK unless I say your name."

The class nodded silently.

"Now, Louise Anthe?"

"Here."

"George Bethy?"

"Here."

"Oliver Beti?"

"Here."

"Caleb Franz?"

"Here."

"Joshua Githy?"

"Here."

"Kaitlyn Guth?"

"Here."

"Eleanor Hart?"

"Here." I said blushing at the use of my full name.

It continued like this until he had listed all 26 names from the list.

"There are no announcements. So, just do homework or something like that."

I let myself rest my head on the desk. This was tiring.

In the cafeteria, I saw Jade and Hayes wave at me from our usual spot. The table at the far end, the one closest to the garbage and closest to the vending machine. We're probably the laziest students to HAVE ever lived, we legit just didn't wanna get up to throw out our shit and to get food. We even named the fricken table, of course it was Hayes' amazing idea to spill all of my skittles (from the crappy vending machine that never works) on the table, so we named it "Bitch The Rainbow"

"Howdy bitches" I said as I sat down with my tray of crappy mashed potatoes and a chocolate bar.

"Hey" Jade replied not looking up from her phone.

Hayes was chugging coke and i gave him the look saying: "Don't tell Jade about Caleb"

The thing with Hayes was that he wasn't very good with secrets. One time in 7th grade, I told him that I liked his old best friend, Dylan Swansea. THE hottest guy like ever. Hayes swore not to tell anyone, but as soon as Dylan nudged him to go play soccer, he blurted it out. I was the laughing stock of the whole school for WEEKS. Dylan wouldn't stop laughing at me so Hayes left him and now he's with us... best decision of his life if you ask me.

"So how's Roshmer?" Hayes asked with a smug grin on his face.

"He's aight... I guess, I mean like today he-"

All of a sudden I saw him. Caleb. He was wearing a flannel top and ripped baggy jeans. His eyes looked brighter than ever, and his lips up curled into a smile as soon as he saw me. I felt like it was all in slow motion, I was gonna get the guy this year I could just feel it.
