Everything Led Me To You - [Underwriting]

Chapter 2 - Unkempt

I entered the hallways of Stanton High, one of the most esteemed schools of Greenville, South Carolina. It was packed with some freshers and I could guess which ones were the juniors. The first thing that I did was look around for my friends.

"Aye! Not like we met after a month but missed you!" exclaimed Rachel.

"Rach, be sensible sometimes at least", interjected Anne. "We were at Skylar's place just two days ago but sure, missed you both too."

"Even if I spend an entire day with you two, I would still not get bored of your lame asses the next day," I said.

"Awh. So, what are your plans for the day?" asked Rachel. To that, Anne answered, "Just gonna jump from class to class, meet you two in the breaks, have lunch, make new friends and by the end, I'm going to Alvin's for dinner."

"Damn, looks as if you've put a lot of thought into this. I have no plans for today. I may meet up with Damien. We all could have a group date actually!" said Rachel, excitedly.

She usually doesn't think about what she speaks before she does.

"Rach, group date? Our lady, Skylar, standing right beside you is still single," Anne corrected Rachel. All I did was put up a sarcastic grin on my face.

"Nonetheless guys, I have something with me." I discreetly told them about the condoms and how I desperately want to either be kissed or get laid.

"DUDE. You haven't even dated anybody good enough for you and you've already made plans for sex?" tried Rachel to 'discipline' me.

Anne had to add to that by saying, "Listen, you've got a wide range of options to choose from. You'll find someone or the other. Don't be so desperate."

"You both just don't understand! Rachel, you can booty-call Damien anytime and Anne, you can kiss Alvin whenever it pleases you two because they are your boyfriends but I don't have anybody even when I have enough choices!" I ranted.

Just then the bell rang. Rachel and Anne gave me a tight warm hug, said" You'll find the one soon!"and we headed to our own classes.

Rachel, Anne and I had been best friends for the past six years and we knew all details about each other, in and out. We shared embarrassing moments from the past, our downfalls, happy moments, deep secrets and basically everything with each other, ex-boyfriends too for that matter. Our families and houses were each others. I could hop into Anne's house at any time and her family would not have minded it.

For a fact though, I used to date Anne's ex and Rachel currently dates mine. Seeing my ex-boyfriend, Damien, fall for my best friend had been very exhausting. I still had feelings for him when they started dating and that's why I felt Rach had broken the "sister code".
