Against My Mind

Chapter 1

*ring ring ring*

The bell rung and the students started to rise from their chair.

"Hey Els, wanna party?" Sandra asked right after she got in my seat.

She have a blonde hair and her skin is white, pale. Her eyes are colored like the sky, blue. Today she wears her crop top and ripped jeans, her usual attire.

"Nah, I'll pass this time." I replied like it's my usual way of talking.

"Why? Got something to do?" Sandra asked again.

"Something like that and we just got on party yesterday, I'll need my rest girl." I answered with a tone like I'm saying a trivia.

"Ok, suit yourself. Just call me if ever you change your mind." She said calmly not bothered by my absence.

"Sure girl." I assured her and carried my bag to go home. "See you" I continued and just walked out the room, not waiting for her answer.

Not waisting any time, I started walking to get back home. I don't ride bus or car because... I just want it. Walking is fun. It can make feel at ease. Our house is far from my school but I don't mind.

After a while I got home right away. Opening the door carefully, not wanting to draw attention eventhough I know there's no one home then went inside. Luckily, I got to my room without any hindrance. I changed my clothes right away and did my homeworks. I still have two hours before seven at the evening, before my parents come back. It's enough for me to finish my homework.

⏩⏩⏩

Time goes fast so did I. I finished my homework at the best speed I can. I can't let my parents to see me here.

I grabbed the money my parents left me on the dining table and rushed out of our house. I managed to get away with my little bag on me. I pulled my phone in my bag and dialed.

"Hello?" I greeted on the other line.

"Hey girl! Have you changed your mind?" Sandra asked on the other line.

"Yes, where are you guys?" I asked while playing with the rock on my foot, kicking it in a weak way.

"We're on Collins house."

"Okay I'll be right there. See you."

"See yah." and with that she turned off the call.

I walked to get to Collins' house. It's far from our house, but I can get there on time. I can't afford to spend my money for riding a bus.

After my long walk, I got to Collins' house.

*Ding Dong*

The door opened. There, a guy in brown hair and brown eyes. He wears his bored look and cool gestures. But when he saw me, he became alive again. Like he is excited to talk to me.

"Yes?" He asked when he saw me.

"Hey, can I join the party?"

"Of course beautiful. Come in." He welcomed me gesturing like a gentleman inviting a lady inside.

When I went inside, there's many visitors already, guess I was just in time.

"Want me to get you a drink, beautiful?" The guy told me.

"No thanks. I'm good." I answered while I'm on my playful smile on. I know this guy, he's Brian, a basketball player. I don't usually talk to him but every time he talk to me he always call me beautiful. Well almost all of the guys is calling me that.
