The Story of Us

three

Monday..  the start of my senior year plus a sprained ankle. I have a lot on my mind right now; an angry Natasha, sprained ankle, unfinished business with Elina, and Veronica.

"What the hell happened to your foot?" Veronica, my one and only friend at school asked me as I exited from my vehicle.

"That's the first thing you say to me?" I roll my eyes as I gather my things from the car.

"Oh, hi Yana, how are you?" folding her arms on her chest, "now answer the question."

I shrug, not really wanting to tell her the truth, "I trip on the stairs to my aparment."

"When did you start using stairs?" she eyes me, "come up with a more believable lie, please," she scoffs as we head our way to the school building.

"I slip in the shower, better?"

She raise her eyebrow not believing anything I said, "meh, I'll take it."

There was silence for a while between us as Veronica greeted the other students. Between Veronica and I, she was the polite, kind and an angel while I was the opposite.

"So what did you do during the break?" I ask breaking the silence.

"We went to Greece and I forgot to bring you back anything, I am sorry?" She grins at me.

"Whatever, I don't really care," I shrug

"Hoe about you Adri- I mean, Yana? Where did you go?"She knows I hate being called by my full name because of many reasons.

"I had a trip to Japan during the first week and look," I pause as I got something out from my white moschino backpack, "I bought you this." I hand her the bag.

She took it and gasped, "a kimono?" now hugging and choking me.

"Stop it," I groan and she pulls away from me. "You're like the bestest thing ever." She kissed my cheek. I can't really call Veronica my bestfriend since she's the only friend I got, the only one to tolerate all of me.

"Eww Nica," I wipe my cheek as we walk down the corridor. People were talking amongst themselves and making a commotion.

The other students greeted me as if I'm the boss of this school, which I am so I ask one of the student on the sides, "Hey, what's all the talking in here?" The boy looks at me not hiding being intimidated by my presence.

"Oh, hi Yana, it's-," he fidgets his finger not looking at me, "there's a new teacher that's why," he finally finished as he exhaled heavily.

"Relax dude, I'm not biting." I pat his shoulder and walk away with Nica.

"Please behave Yana," Veronica say.

"I haven't done anything." I fix the strap of my bag on my shoulder.

"I know you'll do something."

"Why'd you say that?" I ask, now stopping and facing with Veronica.

"Because the last teacher quit because of you." She furrowed her eyebrows.

"That was because he was annoying."

She looks at me with her puppy eyes, "please?"

"Ughh, fine, I'll behave." I shrug, then someone caught my eye.

The lady had her back towards me and apparently was wearing a long ugly skirt and a shirt that didn't match her outfit. She's probably the new teacher the students were talking abouy.

"For a few seconds," I added, sticking my tongue out and smiled at Veronica.

I hear her say "Oh god no," I walk closer to the lady and shove my shoulder against her making her stumble to the wall. I make my way inside the classroom and to my desk in the middle while I heard Veronica apologize then sat on her desk at the back.
