A City of Bright Lights

New Year, Same Me

Christmas break had ended and it's a new year, which mean back to school.  Yay.
I'm on the bus since my parent couldn't drive me too school today and it's really cold.
I actually don't think the heat is on. Its painful, extremely, cause i sit in the back of the bus and I'm not wearing a coat. Which is actually a fault on my part for waking up like 10 minutes before the bus got here and then running out with a bagel so I didn't miss the bus.
Arriving at school I have around 6 minutes to get to class. So obviously, me being me, I'm going to take my dandy time and nearly be late for class. As usual.
See here's the thing, my school is weird. I don't like the layout or the fact that my locker and homeroom is in the basement.
Or the fact we have first period first, then homeroom.
Or every thursday we have extended homeroom for class meeting.
It's so dysfunctional and when there are half day or class meeting days i never make it to class on time. So just overall, i hate my school.
At my locker I put the combination in and open it, after putting everything in for in for my first periods off the day i put my book bag in and grab my gym bag which i had previously sat on the floor.
Yeah I have fitness fusion first. It makes me regret my existence.
Bright side other than ab workouts we do Zumba and I kinda like Zumba so. Whoo.
As I'm Walking I see the clock. 7:28
Oh god I'm actually not late. I have never walked in this classroom before the bell rang, what the hell I, don't like this. I open the door anyways and walk in the changing room, most of everyone is there and hanging already so I walk over to my locker and change. Ya'know.
Gyms not really exciting so imma make it easy for you and skip my struggles of exercising.
It's a win win for the both of us. All I'm going to say is we did washboard ab workouts. That's it though and it's never being mentioned again.
After changing back to my clothes I put in my headphones and shuffle my music.
I walk to home room like this everyday and that will never change.
When I get everything I needed from my locker and put my gym bag away I open the door and walk in.
I sit in my seat till we have to say the pledge and then a few minutes later when home room ends I go to my next few classes. They really aren't eventful. And since I don't particularly have friends in those classes they aren't exciting.
I finish walking into chem and take my seat. After sitting my stuff down I look up and see a girl staring at me.
Taking a headphone out I ask "Is there a problem, ma'am?," crossing my legs and leaning forward on the desk.
"Matter of fact, yes there is a problem. I haven't seen you since yesterday and you haven't greeted me? How rude can you be?" She questions leaning forward on my desk and pointing her finger at me, eyebrows furrowing together.
"I'm sorry, Would you like a proper hello or what?" I respond sarcastically.
"Obviously bitch I didn't ask for no reason. Say hi."
"Hello Kayleigh"
"Hello Aubrey"
"How's it going? What's poppin?"
"Y'know the usual" she slides a piece of hair out of her face and leans back.
"How about you? How are you?" Leaning forward I whisper to her, "to be honest, I'm fine. I got to eat a lot of food yesterday and sleep when I wasn't eating. Never felt so refreshed" She rests a hand on my shoulder and squeezes it
"I know, I was there" I begin swatting at her hand she let's go and I frown
"When did you even leave, I woke up and you were gone. I had to eat Chinese food without you" she smiles bittersweetly
"Dad came and got me, and you ordered some for the both of us what did you do with mine?" kayleigh turns to her desk and looks at the time before turning back around.
"I ate it"
"How the hell did you eat all of that? We ordered a lot"
"I was hungry don't judge me" I lean away and cross my arms.
Mr. Richard walks in with a stack of papers, must have forgot to print them early. Kayleigh turn her head and looks at him before turning back to me and quickly and leaned closer to me.
"We'll talk later" she whispers before whipping back around in her chair.
I nod even though she can't see me and turn to look at Mr. Richard who greets us cheerfully and begins handing out papers. I hate chemistry.
Chemistry ends so I go to my locker again before finally heading to the cafeteria. Kayleigh is waiting for me when I get their arms crossed and looking around. I wave at her as I walk, she saw me and walked towards me before grabbing me arm and pulling towards a table. As I sit I place my bookbag on the table and lean back.
"Where you lunch?" I peep over at Kayleigh as she sits her lunch down and looks quizzically at me.
"Ah, well, I was going to be late for the bus and didn't have time to pack it"
Kayleigh stops unwrapping her sandwich and turns to me.
"Aubrey are you kidding me?" I adjust myself in my seat
"You're such a stupid bitch, you know that right?" Digging through her lunch bag she brings out a bag of chips and a bag of carrots with ranch in a small container. Ripping the sand which in half she gives me a side.
"By the way are mom and dad working late today?"
"Yeah they won't be back in time for dinner" frowning she flicks my forehead,
"Okay so you and I will go get food and pick some up for them while out? Okay?"
I open the bag of carrots and nod, "yeah, for sure if you want to you can spend the night today mom won't mind driving you to school." Smiling she bites into her sandwich and nods,
"As long as you didn't throw my stuff to the curb."
" You know the password to my house, If did that you could kill me"
Shrugging she eats the last of her sandwich and rubs the crumbs on her pants.
"Eh, no"
"Why you to weak?"
"No I'd stab you and then start crying and call the police"
"Christ Kay you would rat yourself out to the police?"
"Yes I would feel bad"
"You just murdered someone your not supposed to feel bad your supposed to feel like a god or something"
"I'm very emotional, your a cold heartless bitch who would actually kill someone"
"Your words hurt but I'm not going to Deny that"
I grab the apple and bite it, Kayleigh just rolls her eyes and sighs
"Why do I even try" she takes the apple and bites the other side
"Nasty ass, I don't want that now"
She smiles and slaps my arm
"Well i don't want it either"
"They why the hell did you bite it?!"
"I don't know!"
People begin to stand up and walk to the entrance
"Throw it away and let's go I don't want to be late to English cause a petty argument"
She obliges and grabs her stuff, I follow lead and help her grab the trash.
While walking towards the entrance we stop and throw it away. The bell rings so we walk to the edge of the stairs the the second floor where we part.
"See you later Aubs"
"You to Kay"
I wave and walk away, putting my headphones back in and walking up the stairs the the last three periods of the day.

Super late, Sorry 😐
