Im not listening

Juleps pov

I woke up to the sound of thunder. Hailey was still asleep beside me. I quietly got out of bed and utilities to my room. My alarm clock said 6:00 A.M. Since I had school I decided to just get ready now. I went to the closet and pulled out my favorite Wallflower jeans and a regular whit T-Shirt. I pulled off the black sweat pants from yesterday and pulled on the jeans. Then I took off Westons Jacket and my Blink 182 Shirt in exchange for the white shirt. I put Westons jacket back on and went into the bathroom.

I took all of my old makeup off and  're did it. Then I took off Westons beanie and took down my messy bun and brushed through my tangled hair. I didn't need to straighten it today since it was raining. My natural hair was wavy. I put the beanie back on and went back into the. room to find my Uggs. I don't really wear boots but today was rainey and cold so I would.

I pulled on the Uggs and grabbed my phone. Surprisingly I had Two messages. They were both from Liam. I sighed and put my phone into my back pocket. Then I grabbed my backpack and headed down stairs.

I so dreaded seeing Karen. It was going to be awful. I went into the kitchen and saw her reading some papers. She as drinking her coffe. I went to the coffe pot and poured myself a cup. I sat on the counter and took a sip waiting for her to say somthing.

" How are you getting to school today?" She broke the silence.

"The Mercedes."

" No it's in the shop. I got into a bender last night on my way home from the store." She didn't look at me.

" Then I don't know."

"Take your bike."

"No."

This seems like a normal conversation but there was plenty of tension. Trust me.

I put my coffe on the counter and slung my bag across my shoulder. I needed  find a way to get to school. I went to the front door and stepped outside. It was pouring. The rain was coming down really hard. I guess that eliminates walking. Ugh, the bus it is.

I went back inside and grabbed an umbrella. Then I changed out of my gigs and into a pair of black vans. Yes, I own ALOT of vans. I went back outside and Opened the umbrella. Then I walked to the corner of the street where a couple of kids were waiting.

There was a tall girl with blonde hair and wore way to much makeup. She was wearing a Sun dress and her umbrella was pink. When she saw me she flashed a smile and then agent back to play fighting with Some guy. He was tall and had Short Brown hair. He wore a grey beanie and Big fake Nerd glasses. Then There was a short dark haired girl with Her nose in a book. She occasionally looked up at the guy and the girl giggling. They were beating each other with Umbrellas. The last and final person was a guy. He was a little shorter than the first guy and he had Orange hair. I mean bright Orange. It hung as long as Westons. He also wore a beanie. He had a small lip piercing and gauges. He was staring at the girl with the book. I could tell she noticed.

"Hey, Aren't you That girl who stood up to Mr. Penn," The guy playing with the blonde asked me.

"Um, yeah." I replied.

He smiled and walked over to me. "You are my Idol. That was Awesom!" He put his hand up and I slapped it with a small laugh.

The blonde was laughing. I noticed she had a nose peirceing. A small white diamond.

"I'm Max." The One that highfived me said with his hand extended.

"Julep." I don't know why but I was laughing.

"I'm Christiana. Call me Chris," The blonde extended her hand. I shook it.

The girl with the book got up with an exasperated sigh and shook my hand with a giggle. " Anna."
