Bashful Beings

08 Back To School

[HEATHER'S PERSPECTIVE]

A new day. I can't believe that I'm so lucky. I have the best life ever. Since Josh came, he filled the hole in my heart. Anyway, I need to change. What should be my outfit for today? Okay, I'll wear my yellow sundress and a denim jacket. For my kicks? I'll wear my Timberlands.

"Bye Dad! I'm going to school"

"Drive safe."

Sometimes I feel shy driving my BMW to school. I don't want people to take it the wrong way. I don't want people to think that I'm bragging about my family being rich. The downside of being in my family is that you will live with a divorced couple. I usually visit my Mom at the weekend. She's now married to someone else while my Dad is still busy with the business, which is the reason why they got divorced. My Mom is a self-absorbed egocentric woman, but I still love her anyway. I don't want to take sides, I'm in between. I just live with my Dad because I don't want to live with my Mom's new husband. I don't hate my parents. Maybe they're just not meant for each other.

I arrived at school and parked my car at the same spot. I turned off my stereo that was playing Chvrches. I put trapper inside of my sling back and continued to walk inside the campus. When I entered the campus, two hands covered my eyes.

"Who is this? Is this you Josh?"

"Nope."

"Mike. Michael?"

"Yes."

"What do you want?"

"After party at my place on tomorrow."

"I already knew about it."

"You coming?"

"I'll come with Josh."

"Okay."

"Kay."

I don't want to tell anyone that I date Michael because he was such an asshole! I mean, like a total asshole. He forgot about our anniversary, not just once but twice. The only perks of dating him is that, I always feel secured when I'm with him. But he's still an asshole. Anyway, I need to go to class.

[RICK'S PERSPECTIVE]

I woke up with Sam in my arms. We slept together. We're late.

"Sam! We're late. Wake up"

"Oh my God.

She quickly wears all of her clothes and she immediately drove home after kissing me goodbye. Last night was a blast. I can't believe she slept at my house. Anyway, I'm getting late. I ran into the kitchen and I drank a glass of milk. I immediately hop on my bike and drove off to school. We got there, I ran to our classroom and forcefully opened the door, which gathered everyone's attention.

"Mr. Webb, you're late. Again" Uttered Mrs. Garcia.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Garcia. I promise you, it won't happen again."

"I know it won't. Go to the principal's office."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Okay."

I can't believe that I was sent to the principal's office. While on my way, I saw Michael.

"Yo Dude."

"What Mike?"

"Where are you going?"
