Just For Laughs? | J.H.S [On hold]

E I G H T

I lay in my bed wide-awake that night.

Who could sleep after a day like this anyway?

I couldn't understand what had gotten into Leo.

"He's probably just overwhelmed by the exertion of travel and stress of having his dearest grandma hospitalized..." I tell myself and try to sleep.

Instead, I end up wondering how can new geographical discoveries be the reason as well as an effect of Renaissance.

I swear that's exactly what my High school history teacher told me.

But then my blinks started to get longer and longer and
Oh, sleep.
Final-

*Beep beep beep beep beep beep*
6:00 A.M.
*Beep beep beep beep beep beep*

"Curse you!" I yelled at my beeping phone.

This is the only time I hate my phone- when the alarm is ringing.

I don't care.

I'm gonna sleep.

College? Never heard of it.

Skipping? Ah, my best friend.

I pull the covers back over my head but then it felt too hot so I threw them off again.

"I should probably text Scar..." I thought.

Scarlett is like my only friend in that hell.

I picked up my phone.

You:
Scar, I'm skipping.

She replied instantly, like she was waiting for my text.

Scar:
Cool, so am I. Let me sleep now.

Ohk, good then.

That's when I got another text-
Tony:
Hey, I'm sorry. I just don't like you doing all that so I may have overreacted....

What? That's not even an apology!

I chose to ignore it for now and get back to sleep.

I'll sort this stuff later.

Sleep comes first.

But since the whole universe was set against not letting me sleep, the sunrays started falling on my face now.

Oh no, not today, Satan.

Stop me if you can.

I stretched my leg and managed to grab the curtain's corner with my toes in a few attempts.

In a couple of few more tries, I finally succeeded in pulling the curtain over the window.

Ha! Take that!

I turned on my side and fell asleep.

°°°

Ah! It feels so good.

The world is so beautiful.

You:
Morning!

Scar:
You're awake already?! It's not even 1! Go back to sleep.

You:
I mean, since you texted back, you're up too.

Scar:
Shut up. Ttyl.

Fine, she can dream all she wants. I'm gonna eat something....

I'm so hungry!

And of course! There's nothing in the kitchen.

Or anywhere else, for that matter.

I have to go out.
Damn.
Why?

I wear something decent, which basically means, you know, jeans and tee and grab my sling.

At the supermarket, I bought some heat-to-eat stuff and some groceries,
A box of oats and cereal to claim I'm eating healthy and....

Sprite.

Oh! Look, there's Sprite cranberry too!

I paid for my stuff and walked out.

And I saw something in the parking lot that I probably shouldn't have.

But I'm glad I did.

Mr. Leo, kissing another girl.
A blonde girl.
Her name's probably Tiffany, judging by her shrill laugh and impossibly full lips.
She reminds me of Mia.

I...
Well....

I knew he was trouble when he walked in....
So shame on me now...

I didn't even realise when I walked to him, tapped his shoulder and punched his nose.

"Jesus Christ! What the hell Skye?!" He exclaimed, wiping the blood off his nose.

"Don't you take my name from that bitten-by-blondie tongue. Get out of my life and never, EVER, come back." I spat and gave a nice judging-you look to that botox'd blondie before turning on my heel and walking off.

"Wait! I can explain! She's just....I love you!" He started running after me.

I stopped and faced him.
I took out my phone and showed him his morning text.

"Yea, real romantic. Now back off before you can get a nice black eye to match with that broken nose of yours." I warned, boiling with rage, and walked away.

He doesn't deserve to see the tears brimming in my eyes.
Oh no, I can't give him that satisfaction.

His chapter, in my book, is closed forever.

I go home and take out my bottle of Vodka.

Damn, I had bought it with him.

I almost smashed it when I thought "that's not the bottle's fault."

So I opened it and took some long gulps.

If someone would've told me today would be so happening in the morning, I'd have laughed.

But I don't find this funny anymore.

Was he with me.....
Just for laughs?

A/n: I give you, Scar!! AKA scarlettromes!!!
