Angelina Prudence

"Angelina!" He's so fucking sexy . "Angelina!" His lips look so soft. "Angelina Blair Prudence!" I look away from Ace and look up at Ms.Feller as her wrinkled lips twitch, "Would you care to share with the class what you were thinking about?" I rolled my eyes and said, "I was just thinking about how much I hate your class and everyone in it except for ACE". I brought my attention back to my work and started to read problem 43 as Ms. Feller went back to teaching to the class.

"Work with the person sitting closest to you and finish problems 43 to 50". I quickly grabbed my math textbook and took a seat next to Ace. "What are you doing sitting next to me Angie?" He asks looking at me. Mmm if looks could kill. "Ohhh we're giving each other sexy nicknames now, I don't think your pet would appreciate that," I stated with a smirk on my face. "But if you want to keep it a secret I can do that too." Ace was about to answer me but the bell rang and he didn't. He grabbed his stuff and left. I placed my things in my Louis Vuitton bag and made my way to the school counselors office.

I knocked on the door softly and waited for Ms.O'Neill to open the door. Ms.O'Neill reminded me of my mother. She always made sure to check up on me and see how I was doing academically. "Hey honey have a seat. How was your summer?" I sit in the purple bean bag setting my beloved purse on the table. "It was great miss I'm just trying to see where my relationships go this year," I say looking at my manicure. "I see you've made a new purchase, I'm guessing that it was about $400 give or take?" "Oh this old thing, I got it on my cruise in Europe after going on a Paris shopping spree with my sister. Oh and it was actually $600, close enough." My eyes make their way to the brown JC Penny bag with the faux leather chipping away. I say nothing waiting for Ms.O'Neill to speak up.

"I see you've made a new friend in June but since you left early for your cruise I wasn't able to talk to you about it." I try to think about who she was referencing, "Oh right, Ace. He's not exactly available but I should be able to change that soon." The counselor looks at me and says, "We've talked about this. Boundaries exist. You can like him but don't push yourself on him, we don't want a repeat of last year." I look at my shoes and bite my lip. My vision starts getting blurry as I stand up. I straighten out my outfit and grab my bag. As I'm heading out the door I turn to look at Ms.O'Neill, "By the way, I tried to get you a purse while I was in Switzerland. But when I was shopping online I saw a better one in Tokyo so you can deliver that one to the Salvation Army. I'm sure they'd appreciate it, a new addition to their sad collection of purses. Your new one should come in soon" I put on my Gucci sunglasses and leave her room heading to the bathroom to check in with my girls.

When you get to know me, you realize quickly that I don't like to wait. So when my girls showed up late I was in a snappy mood. "Hey Angelina sorry we're la-," I interrupt, "Save your sorry I don't want to hear it let's talk about operation get rid of egg rolls." Let's just say my minions aren't the brightest, so when Erica spoke up I was already tired of her. "But I love eggrolls. Their so warm and crunchy. I think their serving them during lunch today." Brittany gags, "Ew too many calories, I could never, since when do you eat school lunch." I rub my temples viciously, "Oh my god FOCUS! This is not the time to be talking about your food obsession or your lack of. Can one of you imbeciles talk about something that's at least useful?"

Erica looks at me and says, "There's a back to school dance Friday, maybe you can ask Ace to go?" This I can use. "Oh my gosh, you're right. I knew I was friends with you guys for a reason. Alright cool, now leave I'll see you both at lunch and we'll talk more about this later." They hurry out and I start scrolling through my phone looking for a dress for this dumb dance. When I found the perfect one I squealed and started to leave. As I made my way out the door I heard a sigh and turned. Someone's in here and I need to figure out who.
