Kennedy's Pov
"Kenny!" Diane yelled into the bathroom as I'm finishing up my shower.

"Yeah?!" I yelled back.

"You're Dad and I are headed out a little early today! I made you some breakfast!"

"Okay! Bye!" I responded. She left and I finish up my shower. I wrapped myself in a towel and brushed my teeth before going into my room to get dressed.

"Hmmm. Cute or lazy?" I wondered to myself aloud.

I slipped in a pair of dark ripped skinny jeans. Then I put on a blue sweater and tucked a small part of the front into my pants for a French tuck. Sometimes no makeup is the best makeup. I put on my white slip-on Vans, combed out my hair, grabbed my things and went downstairs.

I walked into the kitchen for breakfast. But then one look at the time and I bolted out without even grabbing one slice of bacon.

"Seven fifteen? Seven fifteen?! I have fifteen minutes until class starts! How long was my shower!?" I shouted at myself as I ran to Bertha.

"Kennedy! Sweetie! Are you okay!?" Vivian, my old lady neighbor, yelled. I looked at her.

"I'm okay Viv. Have a nice day!" I exclaimed and got into Bertha. I buckled my seatbelt and drove off.

~~~

Five minutes. It took me five minutes to get to school. I'm pretty proud of that. I cut my commute time in half.

After parking Bertha, I grabbed my things and ran inside. I have ten minutes to get to first period. But I'm hungry. I'm really, really hungry. I need food ASAP!

"Hey jack off. Where are you going in such a hurry?" I heard a familiar voice ask that stopped me in my tracks. I turned to see the devil herself smirking at me. She walked closer and I stepped back, slamming myself against the lockers.

"It's too early for betrayal Alyx. Take a hike." I said. She towered over me with a glare.

I hate that she's always been taller than me by so much.

"Don't be mad at me for your stupidity Kennedy. I told you he cheated on you." Alyx said. My jaw locked and I can't even look her in the eye.

"Yeah. You were doing me a real solid huh?" I scoffed sarcastically.

"It's a shame you never got to experience his sensational, vigorous love making. Peter really knows how to make a girl feel good." Alyx teased and bit her lip.

"You disgust me." I gritted pushing her away from me and walking away.

"Sure whatever. See you in first period, bestie." She called after me. I clenched my fists in attempt to keep myself from crying.

I have cried enough over the weekend. I'm done crying over them. They were toxic all along. I should be happy they're gone. They deserve each other. Really.

As I'm walking around the corner after I get up the stairs I accidentally bump into someone who is leaning on the lockers.

"Sorry." I apologize and look up to see that it's Jason. I kind of smile just a little at the sight of him. He smirked a little bit and pushed himself off the lockers.
