The cold water rolls down my back as it cools and releases my muscles from being tightened from my run, the shampoo washes out and runs down my back, after I climb out and dry myself completely, I straighten my hair and start my makeup before placing it all back down on the table in front of me, deciding to stick to just some concealer and mascara. I get dressed into a loose oversized white t-shirt, a suede tan pencil skirt and an oversized distressed jean jacket I put some grey slip-on van and make my way down the stairs. I walk into the kitchen and jump onto the island.

"Hey honey, do you want some breakfast, or coffee?" Mom pops her head around the pantry door to see me, she looks at me inquisitively waiting for a reply.

"Just coffee, but I'll get it." I jump down and round the island kissing Mom on the cheek as I pass, I grab my mug from the open shelves as I pass, I pour myself a cup of coffee so it's almost spilling of the top. I put the coffee jug back in the machine and put some sweeteners in my coffee before I walk back around the island, concentrating too much on not spilling my coffee, and sit on one of stools by the breakfast bar and sip at my coffee. I hear muted music getting louder and louder until I spot the reason why, "River can you turn that down." He ignores me and I get slight aggravated. I wave my hand in front of his face and he becomes suddenly present in the room. "Sup?" I roll my eyes and his lack of use of his 'A+ in English' in his day to day life. "Can you either turn that off or turn it down?" He rolls his eyes and pull the earphone cord from his phone. "Mom, can you pass me the Lucky Charms." Mom put her arm out of the pantry and pass River the Lucky Charms. "How are you not fat?" I roll my eyes at River before picking up my keys and phone dropping the mug in the sink as I pass it. I walk pass Dad on my journey to the front door, I kiss him on the cheek and then continue to walk to my car, texting Alexis to let her know I'm leaving.

"Drew's giving me a ride home to night, so you Hun are off the hook." I smile at her, as I reverse into a parking space. "I very much appreciate it, gorgeous." She leans over and kisses me on the cheek and rushes to jump out the car as soon as I switch off the ignition. "Hun... Elijah at four o'clock." I spin my head and spot him, he's sat on the hood of his car, his basketball mate all surrounding him. "See in a bit gorg." I kiss her cheek and run over to Elijah he smirks as I walk up to him. "Hey boys... can I steal 'E' for a bit?" The boys start whistling and coughing. Elijah pushes himself of his car and takes my hand in his.

"Elijah we've got class in two minutes so you better make this quick." I say trying my hardest to not sound out of breath and try not to become too distracted by Elijah's lips on my collarbone and his hand under my shirt and his fingers creeping under the waistband on my skirt. "I never do anything quickly babe." I giggle slightly and kiss him again, our lips moving rhythmically together. His hands have moved to my leg now, running his finger along the hem of my skirt. I then hear the creak of the gym door swing open, Elijah steps back and straightens out his jacket and shirt, I pull my jacket back on my shoulders and shake my hair so I look semi respectable. I jump down from the metal box I was previously sat on, pulling my bag back on my shoulder as I follow Elijah out of the gym. I look down at my phone, seven text's from Alexis, I then realise I'm twenty minutes late for class. "Same time tomorrow babe?" He runs his fingers along my jawline as I roll my eyes. "Elijah, I've told you not to call me that, It's not like we are together." He smiles and presses his lips to mine. "I know, babe, see you later, babe." I roll my eyes and bite my lip as he walks away and I walk in the opposite direction, the bell went off as I got to my homeroom. I put my back up against the lockers outside and wait for the mocking to begin. "And she finally rolls in." I roll my eyes and put my arm around Alexis as we stand and make our way to our next classes.

I walk into the my next class and roll my eyes when I see Leo sat in my seat, I sneak up behind him trying to stay quiet, which is pretty easy because of the earphones in his ears. I pop one out of his ear, "First of all, you are in my seat, and second, if you want to know something about me ask me no one else, okay hun." He spins to look at me, and smirks mischievously, he raises to his feet so he's towering over me, "Understood ma-lady." He winks and turns taking strides out of the door. I stand slightly lost for words. And slightly intrigued, wanting him to comeback and lay one on me.
