Esme's life was nothing short of normal; if you include being a loner normal. Although she didn't have friends, she had a happy family to go home to.
That all changed after the death of her father. Left behind was a broken widow with rash, destruct...
Getting up for school this morning was harder than usual. Even though I took two naps yesterday and had a full 8 hours of sleep, I was still exhausted. Yesterday must've worn me out more than I thought. Not having enough energy to care about my outfit, I threw on a zip up and sweatpants.

I pulled my hair into a messy bun and rushed outside. Hitting snooze too many times; I was running late.
With heavy feet, I entered my math class. I knew that asshole teacher was going to have something to say about my tardiness. I clenched my teeth, preparing for the snarky comments to come.
Just as I predicted I heard, "Miss Rose, I'm glad to see you've actually decided to come to class. Since you've already missed half the lesson, if you could quietly take your seat." he finished with that smug smile of his.
Yes your majesty. Anything for you.
AGH! Like I wasn't going to sit quietly in the first place!
He has no consideration for anyone's circumstances. It's only natural for a high schooler to be late sometimes.
I can't wait until the day he's late for class himself.
Biting my tongue, I gave a curt nod and walked to my seat. My legs seemed to have a mind of their own as I walked over to Minseok and plopped onto his lap. Still in my daze I wrapped my arms around him and nuzzled my face into the crook of his neck.
It wasn't until I heard, "Miss Rose!! What in the world do you think you're doing in my class?!" that I snapped out of my stupor.
I jumped at the sudden noise, looking around and assessing my current position. In the past I would've been incredibly embarrassed with my bold actions, but today I was a new person. I had no idea where this willful behavior came from, but I looked the teacher in the eye, giving a devilish smirk and proceeded to flip him off.
Then just as calmly, I returned to cuddling into Minseok's chest. It wasn't until I heard the sound of stomping that I lifted my head back up. Before the fuming teacher could take a step closer, Tao was standing in front of me. I didn't have time to be amazed by his speed, cut off by the teacher's yelling.
"Move Tao! This insolent girl is to be sent to the principles office!"
Tao didn't budge, only letting out a dangerous growl.
Just as the teacher opened his mouth to belittle me again, Tao cut him off, "Stop. I'll take her to the office myself. Now step back." he said with authority.
Surprisingly he listened and moved aside. I grabbed Tao's hand and followed him out of the room. It wasn't until we turned the corner that he stopped walking. He let go of my hand and turned towards me, worry painted across his face.
