03| Just Keep Running

       It's during the free period I decide to wander around the halls.

I have five periods, but no sixth period because I have no elective or P.E. I didn't meet the deadline date for electives, and I don't have P.E because I told them I already did a club sport. News flash, I don't do a club sport.

So now I've got the fifth period to wander around.

I've got my head buried in a book when I feel a presence around me, whipping my head around just in time to get tackled by a douchebag.

I yelp, opening my eyes as I feel myself being thrown over a shoulder.

  "Gene!" I slap his back.

  "Hello to you too, N/N." He chuckles, Sasha and Zenix come into view and I wanna punch their faces.

On the first day of school, they were the only ones who noticed that I existed. Gene says there was something about me that screamed rebellious and then tried to make a move on me, causing me to smack him. From thereon, Sasha says she adores me, Zenix thinks I'm hot, and Gene thinks I'm a perfect bitch for his group. Who knew being mean to someone would get them to like you.

  "Let's go to Jack Shack today, yeah guys?" Gene asks.

  "I'm down." Sasha grins.

  "Put me down!" I squirm.

  "Y'all hear something?"

  "This is kidnapping!" I push on his shoulders, trying to remove myself from his arms. It's a good thing I wear shorts under this stupid skirt; not that I wear embarrassing underwear or anything like that, but it allows me to move around freely without flashing anyone. "Come on!" I smack his back with the book.

  "Oh, stop being a bitch, enjoy the ride." Sasha smacks my head.

  "I cannot skip any more periods my-"

  "Your caseworker will kill you. We know. But come on, we'll go anywhere you want!" Peoples' eyes glued to us as we travel the halls.

  "I said no, I'm not risking getting in trouble. So put me the fuck down before I smash your face in with my foot." There's a pause before I slide through his arms and can have my feet back on the floor.

  "Sasha, Zenix, go warm up the car." Gene stares at me. I pull down my skirt and tie my shirt back, sliding my jacket back onto my shoulders as they walk away. "What is up with you lately?"

  "What's up with me?! You! You're what's up! You're too pushy, you're a douchebag, and I don't like you." I poke his chest. "I'm not like you, I can't do things by my own free will, I have people who keep up with me to make sure I don't do shit that you guys do. If I'm caught once doing illegal crap, I will go to juvie." He traps me between a locker and himself.

  "So what? That's a risk we have to take."

  "Well, not me. I won't spend months in juvie knowing when I get back out life is going to be the exact same."

  "Did the bitchface manage to find herself a boyfriend?" A werewolf snickers as he walks by us.

  "Better watch your mouth, pup!"

  "Shut the fuck up already!" He flinches from both of our outbursts, quickly turning away and walking faster. I let out a sigh and shake my head.

  "My answer is no, maybe next month. Respect that. Respect me." His hair falls into his eyes as he stares me down, eventually letting out a sigh and pushing off the locker.
