Chapter 5: Third Time's the Charm

Chapter 5:

Rian’s POV

           My alarm blared at 5:30 the next morning.

Are you serious? I groaned and then let my head fall back onto my pillow as my alarm clock became ever more incessant. I slammed my hend down on the top of it and glared at it before pushing myself out from underneath my covers and slouching into my bathroom. When I stepped out after showering, my hair tied up in a towel and a toothbrush stuck in my mouth I picked up my phone. 8 text messages and 4 missed calls. Jules’ text seemed to be the most angry.

Jules: When are you going to tell me how it went!

Jules: I’m going to kill you! I had to find out everything through the guys!

Jules: Text me! Now!

Kennedy: How did it go?

Mia: How was it? Was there kissing?

Kennedy: You’re depriving me of a dating life. Do you know what it’s like to date the same guy for five years?

Mia: I need some details girl!

Sam Braddock: How was the date?

           Sam? Man. Guys gossip worse than girls. I thought, rinsing my mouth out. I undid the bun I had slept in, letting my hair fall down in a mass of curls and waves. I used bobby pins to pin back my hair over my left shoulder. I yanked on my grey pants, purple blouse and black platforms. I grabbed a muffin from the Tupperware on the counter and ate it as I texted Jules.

It went well. He’s going to call me today. I know you already know that so tell him I’m waiting J.

I grabbed my bag, purse, car keys and started my drive to school. I got stuck in traffic halfway there and as a result, I was screaming and cursing at everyone I saw.  I stormed into school 3 minutes late and slammed my stuff down on my desk, grumbling.

“Get stuck in traffic Miss A?” A ballsy sophomore asked. My students knew that the only time I was this grumpy was when I got stuck in traffic.

I grumbled a response and started the lecture.

It was lunchtime before I was bombarded by Mia and Kennedy asking me how my date was.

“How was it?”

“Did he kiss you?”

“Where’d you go?”

“Oh my god! How old are you two? 16?” I practically yelled over their voices.

“It went fine, he took me to the fair, I had a great time, and that is none of your business.” I raised an eyebrow as I finished my answers.

“I’m starving, can we please go get lunch now? I practically begged them, grabbing my wallet and starting towards the cafeteria. Mia and Kennedy were still pestering me as we entered the cafeteria.

“Dean! Sam!” I hurried over to the boys who were already scarfing down their hamburgers.

“Save me from your fiance’s. I’m begging you!” I slid into an empty seat away from the two women.

“Are you guys in high school?” Dean asked, giving us an incredulous look before taking a huge bite out of his burger.

“Apparently” I grumbled. Taking a sulky bite out of my wrap.

           On the way back to my room I stole another look at my phone. Nothing from Spike.  Should I text him?No. Yes? No. Definitely not.  I shook my head. Leave it to Spike Scarlatti to be the boy I worry about these things with. The rest of the school day was fine until last period. The troublemakers of the class were late to class and as I result, I had to give them a detention. I hate giving detentions. It makes me feel horrible.
