Red Light

The first bell

The bell rings and i drag my feet into the depressing classroom, this class is the reason i hate remy and i not being in the same class, its filled with a bunch of jocks, perverts and bitchy ass cheerleaders. I rolled my eyes at the thought, I have absolutely nothing in common with any of them  and im not mad about it. My teachers name is Ms.Fox, she teaches these rejects english, she is truly a sweetheart but her students, not so much, they really give her a rough time.
..... I take my seat by the window, pulling out my supplies ." Well hey there brooke" tanner says turning to me with a shit eating grin, hes our star quaterback and captain, how? I have no clue, let me know when you find out. He is always high, eyes all red, and you can literally smell him before you see him, i could almost feel a contact high from just sitting next to him but i have to admit , hes kind of cute in a goofy pothead kind of way. I smile "Hi tanner", he leans closer "I was wandering if maybe you would like to hang out with me at the party tomorrow night?" he said lightly touching my hand. I lean back shocked "Umm? Me? Brooke? Nerd? hang out with you?", he chuckled running his thumb over my fingers. Goose bumps rose on my arm "Yes, why is that so hard to believe?" he asked smiling "Maybe because ive known you since the fourth grade and you have never even said two words to me, not even "HI"" i said mimicking his voice asa i shook my head in disbelief. "Come on, dont be like that. To be honest, i thought i had no chance with you. Youre smart, and beautiful, and kind, and just.. well.. perfect and im just a stoned, bonehead, jock" he said looking straight in my eyes, i moved my hand away trying to control my breathing "Sure thats what..." before i could finish my sentence the second bell rung and students flooded into the room. Seeming to lead the pack was tanners ex-girlfriend,tina, she shot straight to us smacking his hand off my desk as if it was infected "Really tanner, youre THAT desperate? I mean i could take you back if you ask nicely" she said pushing out her chest in his direction. He curled his lip in disgust "Fuck off, i get the feeling that youre the desperate bitter one, because youre just last years dirty laundry. Im moving on to a real woman, just accept that." She flipped her weave over her shoulder snorting "Whatever tanner, you were so head over heels in love with me, like a helpless puppy. I broke up with you, remember?" His face turned slightly scrunched up with anger. He stood up straightening to his full height, towering over her "I dont care who broke up with who, ive obviously moved on and im definately not "inlove" anymore. Brooke and i were having a private conversation which you have officially ruined". I butted in looking at the both of them basically blowing steam out their ears "Listen tamera, its tamera right?-" i asked knowing her name was tina, i didnt give her a chance to reply before continuing "Tamera, tanner and i were just having an innocent conversation about graduation. I have better things to do than intertain you about a boy who wont be a thought in your mind a year from now." I stand up grabbing my stuff, before taking the seat close to the door for a speedy escape once this horrible class was over. They looked after me speechless, tanner looked slightly hurt and tina looked utterly confused and humiliated. I sat in my new seat and prayed for this class to end as quickly as possible, for the rest of the class they were pushed completely to the back of my mind, like i said i have better things to worry about.
