"Make sure to go through the next chapter in your textbook focusing on DNA and RNA and be sure to check the lab at the end of the chapter focusing on harvesting DNA from a banana. We'll be doing that next Monday, have a good weekend everyone," my biology teacher tells us as the bell rings.
"You're coming over tonight right?" Benjamin questions as he stuffs his papers into his bag.
"Isn't it your turn to come over today?" I reply as I organize my things into my bag. Unlike Benjamin, I like to know where my shit is.
"Oh shit, yeah, this weekend we're staying at your place. I'll catch you later, I need to talk to my functions teacher before I head out," he says bumping my fist before running out of the classroom. I should get going too, Charlotte is probably waiting for me outside with the twins.
We might be sixteen but our parents plus our uncle Jason still keep up the weekly sleepover rotation, not that I'm complaining or anything. Our house is twice as loud when we have Benjamin and his siblings, plus Oli and his siblings; if I wasn't used to the chaos of having all of us under one roof as I kid, I'd probably stay at a friend's house to avoid all that shit.
I stop by my locker to get my jacket, some more textbooks and take a couple of minutes to talk with a childhood friend from elementary school, making plans to meet sometime this weekend. I asked her out a couple of weeks back and we're taking it slow. She's hot but she also has a quick-witted personality. Brains and beauty; if it wasn't for her wanting to take things slow we'd probably be dating already.
I say bye to her and go down the stairs two at a time and jog to the front doors throwing them open and stepping into the fresh snow. It's November and winter came early this year, again. It's North American weather so what can you expect. I see my family's van parked at the curb and the windows roll down as I walk towards it, the twins sticking their heads out.
"Wren, hurry up you're so slow," Jayden yells to me as I get closer.
"You're like a snail, no wait an old man," Justin echoes and both of them start snickering. Jayden and Justin might look the same but they have opposite personalities. Jayden is the more vocal twin and Justin is the more shy and introverted twin but when he's with his brother you can't tell them apart.
"How was school Charlotte?" I ask once I'm in the car and she drives away from my high school.
"It was good Wren but shouldn't I be asking you that? I'm the adult and you're the student?" she questions, laughter in her eyes and I roll mine.
"But you also go to school too because you're a teacher so I can ask too," I counter.
"Well right now I'm not teacher Dawson so spill it," she says as she makes a turn.
"It's close to exams so there's just a lot of homework but we have a lab on Monday so I guess I'm looking forward to that," I say with a shrug.
"What do you expect, you're in grade eleven so the workload is getting heavier. Imagine how it's going to be next year especially since you'll be applying for university," she chuckles. "I think you'll be a better student than me, at least you didn't pick up my habit of sleeping in class."
"And you passed everything?" I ask in surprise.
"Do you think a nap in class would stop me?" she asks raising her eyebrow in a challenge and I roll my eyes already knowing that answer. One thing about Charlotte is when she sets her mind to something she sticks with it.
