we're getting to the school days, shiz aboutta get wild! xx kysnat
Aleah's P.O.V.
~~
"Have a great day, kiddos!" My mom chirps and waves before we all exit the car.
The student drop off area is packed with all the familiar faces I've been dreading to see.
I was in a fairly good mood, I had finally had my first natural a-okay moment with Jeremy since he got back.
A small smile was dancing on my lips all until I started paying attention to the conversation going on in the back.
Tatiana was bluntly telling Lani that she wasn't allowed to approach her during school. It took a whole lot more than self control to not jump back and attack her.
That's how I ended up bitter and moody, the vibe radiating off of me sharp and edgy.
My blood boils just thinking about it. And now I have to show them around the school? No thank you.
"Ahem." I turn on my heels meeting Tatiana's gaze.
"I think we'll manage." She mockingly smiles at me while pulling Jeremiah with her.
It's as if she's reeanacting a scene from the fifth grade yearbook in my head. "Um, no I-" I start off but never finish because Tatiana is already passed the gates and is ignoring my every word. Jeremiah is right behind her as she keeps her death grip on his wrist.
He helplessly looks back and mouths "sorry".
I dont mouth anything back because what can I say? 'Dont worry i know Tatiana is a jerk?' I let out an irritated sigh and look around trying to spot Lani but she's nowhere to be found either.
I'm now stuck, alone, in a crowd of people I dislike.
Great.
Sighing, I pull my phone out of my pocket and find that Lulu has sent me four alarming messages.
Lulu<3 : holy shizballs Aleah today is the day.
Lulu<3 : i always have the tea...and the tea is exquisitely flavorful today!
Lulu<3 : i hope you're not dead because girly...
Lulu<3 : THERES A NEW KID!!!
How does she know that?! It's only eight o clock, class doesn't start for another twenty minutes.
God, stuff spreads fast.
I shake my head which just worsens the feeling of the incoming migraine. Quickly, I text back.
To: Lulu<3 , From: Me- Jesus woman...meet me at the walkway in ten.
The walkway is exactly what it sounds like. It's a long dirty walkway at the back of the school and trespassing the gates is definitely illegal.
The bums of Canady High go there to sell and do drugs. Lulu and I use it to talk in private, though.
I start making my way there, stuffing my hands in my jean jacket. I walk quickly and in no time the walkway comes into view.
Lulu is already there, laughing along with a guy wearing a bandana and red vans. She spots me and smiles wide while waving at me.
I wave back and try to smile back. She bids her goodbyes to the bandana dude and walks towards me. "Aleah ohmygod I missed y-" Lulu starts ranting and I shut her up by hugging her.
She hugs me back almost instantly. "I missed you too, Lulu!" I beam as I'm pulling away.
"You won't believe how much I have to tell you!" Lulu said, a grin plastered on her face.
"I actually have to talk to you about the new guy situation." I say.
"Oh yesss..." She whispers and moves to my right side looping her left arm with my right one.
"I kinda know him." I cautiously let out.
"Oh my god, what do you mean??" Lulu leans in.
"Okay, remember the guy I told you about?"
"Oh my- Jeremiah?!" She whisper-yelled, shaking me by our linked arms. I nodded my head eagerly and my eyes widen.
Lulu knows about everything. She knows about how Jeremy and I used to be best friends and about my major crush on him and how Tatiana was and totally still is a jerk.
"Do you still like him?" She asks.
I almost laugh. "Don't be ridiculous, of course not! It's been four years." I try to brush it off.
Lulu gives me a doubtful look but brushes it away as well. "Sooo, is he cuter now or what??" Lulu's boy crazy side asks me.
I'm about to answer her when then bell rings. "Guess you'll have to see for yourself." I breath out already making my way to my first class. Lulu laughs and waves good bye to me as she also heads to class.
~·~
"Oh my god yeah the new kid is soooo cute!"
"He's so funny I could not stop laughing at his jokes!"
"Yeah I think his name is Jeremy?"
The murmurs went on and on and at one point I think I shoved into someone out of annoyance.
Annoyed that they acted like he was some work of art to analyze, annoyed that they talked about him like he was their's.
He wasn't.
He was mine.
He was the only thing I had left from the past and I wanted it to stay that way.
I had been so distracted thinking about Jeremy and what people thought of him, the day went by so fast and it was now lunch.
I walked into the cafeteria and sat at a table. Lulu usually comes in a bit later.
As I waited for her, a loud group of kids walked in. I unconsciously turn my head to see who it is.
None other than the popular kids. All the kids in our grade that thought they were better than everyone. The athletes and underachieving kids.
Jeremy never talked to them before. He didn't like them when we were best friends.
But I guess that's where he belongs now, being the "new kid" and all.
