The Broken Girl

5."Hey Neighbor"

Julienna's POV

"You could've told me if you wanted a ride to school," Nichole says as I got in her car. You see, I was on my way to school and Nikki saw me walking by and told me we'll go together. After a long debate, Nichole won, and here I am sitting in her car, on my way to school.

"I didn't want to trouble you. Besides my house is nearby and it's healthier" I answer her.

"Trust me, it's no trouble for me, Julie. In fact, from today onwards, I'll pick and drop you. After all, what are friends for?"

"Thanks a lot, Nikki but it's ok as I said I'll walk. By the way, could you please not call me Julie because Julie is my neighbour's pet bunny's name. So, whenever someone calls me Julie, I feel like they're calling the bunny. No hard feelings, I hope."

"Sure, how about... Letty?" Nikki says as she chuckles.

"Anything is fine as long it's not Julie" I reply back laughing with her.

"Letty, about going to school, I'll give you a ride every day. It's Final.PERIOD."

"ok, since you're insisting I'll agree, Thanks so much gal."

"No problemo," Nichole says as she slightly increases the volume and silently hums along.

The minute Nichole drives through the huge metallic gates, the song is covered by the loud noises which mark our arrival at school. Nichole parks the car and we step out onto the crowded ground. We go to our lockers and grab the books for our class, Nichole has Economics and I have Arts. " See ya at lunch Niks."

"See ya, Letty."

Since my class is at the opposite side of building and not wanting to be late to class, I take huge steps, move swiftly and swerve amongst the crowded hallway.

Must make it in time Jules, just go between the gaps and you'll make it girl. Focus. Find a gap, Go through it before it closes. Simple. See you're doing great. Just trust your instincts. Now faster, faster, fas-

"OWWW...FUCK FUCK FUCK." My forehead collided on something hard, I look up and come face to face with the guy at the park.

 " FUCK, I'm so sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going. Ok, I was, but I didn't see you. I'm not blind or anything, but I guess I way up in my head. This is totally my fa-"

"Hey Ms.Talk-a-lot, It's chill and if I had to bump into someone, I'm glad it's you, princess."

"Aww... That's so sweet. The name's Julienna. "

"I'm Ashton." 

Wait, Ashton? The name does ring a bell, but I didn't talk with him at the park, I just said a Thank you. Wait a minute...

" You're Ashton Blackwood?" I ask him.

"Yea"

Ohhhhh..... He's my project partner from that Timekeeper's class. Speaking of Timekeeper, SHIT I NEED TO GO TO CLASS. I immediately run as fast as I can to my Art class.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Today all the luck are with Ms Julienna, She just made it into Art Class in time.

As I sit down on the chair and take a huge breath, Mrs Heminalot enters the class and, we all greet her. Then, most of the students resume their previous artworks and, the other continue their chatter.

I'm walking towards lunch right now with an empty stomach. I'm starving WOMAN. I open the lunchroom doors and go wait in the line. Today its Cheeseburger with Chef's Salad, Flavored Milk and Carrot Sticks. I grab my lunch and walk over to our table.
