She Was The Challenge He'd Been Waiting For

I yawned and looked over at the clock on my bedside table. When I saw that it read 7:02 am I jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom. "Fuck! I'm gonna be late!" I screamed while turning on the shower quickly and running back into my room to grab clothes. Once I had put my clothes on the counter in the bathroom I hopped into the shower and washed myself in record time. While trying to be as fast as possible I dried off. Between brushing my long red curls and shoving my legs into my black skinny jeans, I fell forward onto my face. After jumping to my feet I brushed my teeth before grabbing my backpack and running into my parent's room. My dad was already gone for work but my mom was asleep in bed.

"Mom, you need to wake up and drive me, if you don't I'll be late!" I shouted trying to shake her awake. When she didn't wake up or even move I scowled. She couldn’t be counted on for anything and I just wasted three minutes by trying to wake her up. Deciding it was pointless to keep trying to wake her up, I ran out of the room and then out of the house.

My feet pounded against the cement as I sped down the street. A part of me wanted to just give up and say fuck it but the other part told me I just might make it if I kept running. Skidding slightly I whipped around the corner and my school came into view. No one was outside but that didn't mean anything yet; I could do it I told myself as I sped up. Just as I was running up the stairs the late bell rang loudly and I groaned; just my luck! Going straight to my homeroom I walked into the back while still trying to catch my breath and sat down at my usual table. I had just placed my head on the table when two loud voices filled the classroom suddenly.

"If you boys are going to come in late than at least come in quietly, is that too much to ask?" Mrs. Aville asked, the annoyance clear in her tone. I looked up to see Alex Gaskarth and Jack Barakat walking in and going to where the bitches sat. Instantly I pursed my lips as I watched them sit down directly behind the girls. Alex was average height and skinny with long brown hair and light brown eyes. Jack had long black hair that had blonde streaks in the front and dark brown eyes; he was also extremely tall and skinny.

When they sat down the head bitch, Megan, stood up and walked over to Alex and put her arm across his shoulders. He shrugged her off instantly and she looked hurt before walking back to the giggling mass of girls. I snickered at her expression before tucking a stray piece of my hair behind my ear. Megan's blonde hair was long and came to her shoulders. She was stick skinny and her boobs were pushed up and were falling out of her very low cut shirt. Her tan legs were barely covered by her short skirt; I was surprised her ass didn't fall out. When she saw me looking at her she stuck up her middle finger and then turned away. I turned back away as the bell rang and I stood up, straightening my shirt a bit.

"Hey! Leah, wait up!" I heard someone shout. Immediately I knew who it was and I turned around to see Jack walking towards me.

Jack and I had known each other since fourth grade but we didn't become friends until seventh grade. I stopped and waited for him but then scowled when I realized Alex was close behind. Alex was a pig and annoying and I didn't like him at all. Alex was only put up with because we had mutual friends; Jack being one of them. When Jack caught up to me, we started walking again.

"What's up Leah, you look pissed," he said. Instead of answering I adjusted my backpack and kept walking. "Leah, tell me what's wrong!"

"Nothing, Jack look, I have to go to class, if I'm late again Ms. Erickson will kill me and I don't feel like dealing with that," I said before walking quickly off to the other side of the school. When I got into class Kara, my only friend that's a girl was already sitting in the back of the class with her boyfriend Rian at our usual table.

Rian was nice guy who had brown hair that wasn't too long but not short either and he had a cute smile that I knew would be even cuter once his braces came off. He was average height and kind of a bit chunky. Kara was really pretty and had brown hair with blue eyes. She was tall and skinny but not creepy skinny. Kara's long brown hair was falling down onto the desk and she was writing on a paper when I got into the back. I sat down next to her and Rian smiled at me.
