Breaking Rules

8.

I groaned as I shifted my body underneath the duvet of an unfamiliar. As I stretched my leg touched another and I turned to see the girl from last night. She looked hungover, but still hot.

At least drunk Harper has standards.

But what kind of psychopath sets an alarm on a Saturday morning. 

Oh shit. That's my alarm. 

I felt her stir next to me so I got out of the bed an found my way to the main area as quick as I could. As I walked into the kitchen I noticed a guy at the breakfast bar. My phone right next to him. Since my clothes were scattered by the couch I attempted to silently make my way there so I didn't go right up to this man butt naked. But a stupid fucking floorboard snitched on me as I approached the sofa. 

"Shit sorry babe." The man said as he glanced my way before swiftly turning his head when he noticed the position I was in. I pulled on my body suit and skirt from last night  before letting out a polite cough to let him know I was now clothed. 

"I'm guessing this is yours too huh?" He asked politely as he approached me with my phone that was now ringing. 

"Yeah it is, thank you. And sorry for, you know." I apologised as I checked who'd been calling me. 1 missed call from Amie and 2 from my brother. Shit I forgot he got back last night. 

"Its okay babe, I'm gay by the way, so I wasn't fazed. Jo's always walking around this place naked as one of those weird hairless cats. So nothing to be embarrassed about." I chuckled at his odd analogy and let out a sigh of relief that a random girl's random roommate wasn't going to try anything after seeing my tiptoe across his living room with no clothes on. 

"Jo's still sleeping?" He asked and tilted his head as he did. 

"Yeah, out cold." I checked my phone again after getting a text notification. "OH SHIT!" Raven had texted me asking why I wasn't in the locker room at school. I checked the time and I had 15 minutes until the bus left. I texted back saying I'd be there but not mentioning that I currently had no idea where I was.

"You good babe?" The roommate asked after my outburst.

"I have to be somewhere in 15 minutes and I completely forgot!" I replied while sliding on my underwear that I had just spotted from behind the sofa.

"I'll give you a lift hun, no worries." He smiled. Usually I'd decline out of politeness but I didn't have much of a choice at the moment. He was also heading to the front door and putting on a jacket, his car keys jingling in the pocket.

"Thank you so much! Oh wait!" I got a glass from the stranger's kitchen counter and filled it with water before running back into Jo's room and placing it on the bedside table. As a thank you.

"Okay I'm good now." I smiled at the roommate before grabbing my heels, that were still lying by the door from the night before, and headed out the door with my new friend. 

Once we were in his car he introduced himself as Tyler and I told him my name. I gave him directions and ten minutes later we were outside school and he was handing me a bottle of water and a strip of gum for my breath. I thanked him and ran towards the locker rooms, my heels in one hand and my water in the other as my blistered feet slapped against the cold floor.

When I got to the locker room everyone's eyes turned to me and trailed down my body, obviously judging my appearance. Ms Gonzalez stepped out of the gym teacher's office and crossed her arms before also looking at my appearance. I gave her a sheepish smile before finding my new kit and changing into it, borrowing a sports bra from Raven, who just happened to have a spare one, and boots from the departments box.
