Burn My Soul

Amity

My knees began to ache as the clock turned 7:46, my body was resting against the brick wall just outside of the hall entrance decorative and full of school spirit, students sprinting past me in rush and elation. I had just about finished my assignment for Mr Green's class, doodling and correcting any mistakes in my grammar, placing my notes and pens back into my bag, I glimpse up at the nearing teenagers walking casually alongside the entrance.
Louis stands out, projecting through the crowds, he was wearing a tight black jacket exposing his chest, a carmine scarf and some stylish vans to assist his outfit, he was walking by himself this time, his bag was in hand, his fingers nuzzling his dreadlocks.

"Heya Clemmy"!!!

"AAAAAA for FUCKS SAKES DucK"!

"Geeee I'm sorry I wasn't aware
you have a crush on Louis Dan-"

"What"?!
"NO I do NOT"!
My body tensing in intolerance.

"I was only ducking yaa"!
He quips jabbing my shoulder.

"So how's life when your not annoying people"?

"Well if you must know Mitch Denford punched me-"

"What a shocker"...
I squint my face in exasperation, crossing my arms in a composure like way exhaling.

"HIIII CLEMMY CLOOS"!

"Hey Gen".
I beam at her devilish smile as she walks towards us juggling her phone and her red satchel.

"Oh fuck youuu".

We both giggle, her playfully bumping my elbow.

"What's kickin Duck"?
She smirks wrapping her arm around my neck, in a way that was so comforting.

"Just chatting to our new favorite recruit"!

"Say what now"?

"Duck was our newest member before you came along Clem-"

"Wait wait wait DUCK is-"

"Of course I was gonna be hanging out with the coooolest kids in school I'm not a nerd or anything".

"That's still a matter of debate"...

We both burst out in stitches while Duck rubs the back of his head in denial and slight humiliation.

"Me and Clem's gotta get to Algebra"!

"Don't wait up Duck"!

"See ya GURLS"!!!

Her hand smaking his arm he rushes to his class and us to ours, making our way through the seafoam and parakeet halls.
As we came through the door I glance rapidly around the room.
I've always loved the smell of the classrooms in the morning, like cleaning products and chalk. But my stomach began to churn as I caught sight of Minerva.

"Oh fu-"

"Back of class, now".
She gently pushes me away from their sight, we settle at the back of the classroom, Genevieve pulling her desk closer to mine with much enthusiasm.
