Boarding School Rules

Fork Dispensers and Hot Sauce

I wake up and go to my closet and pull out the school uniforms. Just looking at them makes me want to cry. I put on the khaki skirt, a white button down shirt, and a black tie. I look at myself in the mirror and brush my hair out a little bit. I put on mascara and eyeliner and I seem satisfied with myself. Well besides the hideous clothes on me. I get out of the bathroom and I walk past Melissa and we don’t say anything to each other. I grab my schedule and walk out of the room. I walk up to Bryce’s room and once I get to the door I knock.

“What do you-“ Connor says answering the door. He looks at me and smirks.

“Well don’t you like fine,” he say leaning against the doorway. Did I forget to mention that he had no shirt on? And pardon my French, but holy abs.

“Thanks,” I say feeling awkward.

“And what about me?” he asks pointing to himself.

“You look great,” I say feeling a little less awkward. I can’t believe I don’t feel embarrassed saying this.

“You want me to walk you to the cafeteria?” Connor asks me.

“Um well I was going-“ I start to say but I get interrupted.

“There you are,” Tyler says coming into the doorway. He steps past Connor and stands next to me. He is struggling a little bit trying to get his backpack strap on.

“I was going with Tyler,” I say. “Sorry.”

“You promise me that I can go with you tomorrow?” Connor asks me.

“Yeah sure,” I say.

“Great,” Connor says closing the door.

“You ready to go?” Tyler asks me once he gets his backpack strap situation under control.

“Yeah sure,” I say.

I follow Tyler as he leads the way down to the cafeteria.

“You have seemed to warm up to Connor since last night,” Tyler says looking at me.

“I guess,” I say shrugging. “He didn’t seem as perverted this morning. He was more cocky.”

“Yeah that sounds like Connor,” Tyler says. He turns a corner and I see a whole room full of people. “And this is the cafeteria.”

I follow Tyler to the line and he grabs a tray and I copy his actions. I look at the trays of food and see pancakes. Tyler grabs three and I grab one. We walk towards the table and Tyler goes to a table near the door. He sits down next to a girl who blonde hair and blue dip dyes. She has her back to him and he taps her on the shoulder and she spins around.

“Hey Tyler!” she says standing up. She wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him.
