The Tough Ones

Chapter 2- The Academy

My back cracked in a fashion i didn't think was possible as i stretched my muscles awake. The pain from the ice was visible on my face from the moment I woke. And now I have to deal with school too. Urgh school. I couldn't even escape Jace at the academy. I thought about to stupid lables he throws at me inside and outside school, I mean don't get me wrong I'm not totally unpopular, he is just jealous of my skills on the ice. Or so you hope.

Determined to actual be on time today, I jumped into the shower to wake myself up. I lathered myself in soap and shampoo whilst belting out a terrible version of Alone Together. Defintely got the X-Factor there Lizzie.

I leaped out the shower, turns out i can waste 45 minutes in there getting ready, so i speadily got my uniform on and tided my long wet Brown hair up in a ponytail, quickly appling mascara, removing the mess of poking myself in the eye with it and then carefully applying my mascara which made my brown eye look alive. Shit I'm going to be late.

"Bye Mum!" i shouted before i grabbed an apple and ran to the bus stop, only just making it. 

I plugged my ear buds in and started to blast the Fall out boy all around me creating my little bubble of bliss and I was ready for my 30 minutes ride to school.

*****************

"Thanks Maurice" I said pleasently to the bus driver as I excited and made my was to the academy gates. Now let me tell you a think or two about the academy, St. George's Prodigy School. This school is from ages 7 to18 and offer you special training in or respected field but also gives you the essential GCSE's and A levels I would need for later on in life. If you can't tell I take the figure skating program and i am one of 5 girls taking it, also as pure cliche Jace Matthews happens to be taking Ice Hockey so that means at least one class a day with him but then he is also in my English lit, Maths and my Physics, but there is one lesson i can get away from him in. And that is dance. Sweet sweet mercy!! Halleujah!!! All those other rejoyce words.

When you look around the Senior entrance and yard you see the typical cliched groups. Jocks (the ones obsessed with their abs), The other Jocks and the cheerleaders (except me because of Jace. Dick), the nerds (maths and science kids), the hipsters (just cause you can act and sing doesn't mean you are cool and unique) and finally the cool kidz (obviously my group). I walked up to out usual table greeted by the load debet between Jessica and Kyle.

"What are they on about??" I leaned over to my best friend Tyler.

"Something about knives and forks and table manners," he said running his hand through his silky brown hair as my heart slammed into my chest over this simple movement, "I droned out when they started on elbows."

Let me tell you about Jess and Kyle, they have been dating since year nine (freshman year) they were head over heels since they had both liked the other one due to both of them being in the music program, Jess for Violin and Cello and Kyle as all the essentials in a rock band. This occasion had to have come from one of Jessica's (uptight) dinner parties that her mother hosts. And at some point during that meal Kyle must have fucked up.

"We will finish this conversation later Kyle!" Jess told Kyle firmly before turning on the heal and walking toward the school entrance, even though we still had 5 minutes before the warning bell goes. Kyle obviously heads after her leaving me and Tyler... Alone. Heavy breathing.

" Lovers quarel," Tyler says with his crooked smile planted on his perfect face. He was my first crush as we had both been here since we were 7 so instantly became friend due to us both doing PE as a main course, him focused on his ice hockey and me on my figure skating (unfortunately he trains at a different rink to me) and on the day I turned 13 i realised I was in love with him. Now before you start with that 'you're too young to know what love is' bullshit let me tell you something. He is perfect and nice and he makes me feel as fuzzy as felt. If this isn't love what is the reason that I cry sometimes when i think about him? (I'm a bit of a loser)

"HEY LIZ!!" Tyler shouted in my ear, "you space out again" he said whilst laughing, "you looked all sappy and stuff, you thinking about that guy you gotta crush on??" he grinned from ear to ear. Luckly he doesn't know I like him but he obviously doesn't like me back so I just grin back and go along with my best friend .

And that's all he'll ever be.
