ANNABELLE ATTEMPTED to avoid the photoshoot going on in the living-room the next morning. "oh! i want to see those pearls. yeah!" her mother squealed happily as dustin flashed a smile. "who you gonna call?". belle grimaced at the singsong voice that came out of her mouth.
she entered the room, unconcerned with the events that were taking place before her. "oh, annabelle! just in time, come join me!" dustin instructed his sister as she groaned, grumpily walking towards him. "you look a mess" he spoke as annabelle readjusted her sunglasses, regretting not applying any makeup.
"dont listen to him, you look beautiful" her mother smiled sweetly before taking a photo of annabelle ruffling dustin's hair mockingly.
"i've gotta go" she excused herself, know she'd be late otherwise.
"bye!" the other two yelled as she exited, continuing with their antics.

annabelle drove to school in silence, something she rarely did. once arriving, she spared no time in getting out of the car and walking hurriedly towards the entrance.
"you look even worse today than you did yesterday" she heard a familiar voice comment as she walked past.
"fuck off".
"now, that's no way to greet a new student" billy tutted mockingly.
"i am this close to shoving a pen down your throat" she threatened.
"i'd rather i shove something down your throat" he flirted, earning a frustrated groan in response.
"pig" she shook her head, walking away.
"i love it when you talk dirty to me" he hollered after her, a smirk plastered onto his lips.
"why are the first conversations of my mornings with complete assholes" she asked herself silently as she slammed her locker door closed to be faced with jonathan.
"i'm offended" he spoke, faking hurt.
"not you johnny boy" she smiled, booping his nose playfully with her finger.
"don't do that, i hate it when you do that! and don't call me johnny boy" he groaned.
"oh you love it, johnny. that's what makes you so chuckalicious" she teased as they walked towards first period. "i called last night, joyce said you werent home. does nancy wheeler have anything to do with your absence?" she questioned, playfully shoving him.
jonathan's eyes widened in realisation that he'd mistakenly ditched annabelle, apoligising profusely for it. "it's fine. nancy also ditched steve so we were on the phone for a good two hours just bitching" she reassured him as he nodded, a small smile tugging on his lips.

"rebel-rebel, you've torn your dress. rebel-rebel, your face is a mess" steve and annabelle sang as they entered their last class of the day; late.
"late, again" the teacher announced.
"sorry, we had to-" steve stuttered, thinking of a lie.
