Excuse the mistakes

 “After you divide the number by X, you—”

The bell signaling the end of class rang loudly, cutting off the words of my math teacher. I slammed my textbook closed and let out a sigh of relief. Pre-calculus wasn’t one of my strongest subjects; not because I was bad at math, but because it was my first class of the day, I was pretty much asleep.

I shoved my textbook and notebook into my backpack, which I then hefted up onto my shoulders. Then, I filed out of the classroom behind two girls gossiping about which of their friends had gotten drunk and had sex with some guy.

As I wove my way through the crowded hallway, I reached for the side pocket of my backpack and felt for my phone. However, I didn’t feel the usual solid square, and I realized that it was still in my jacket pocket, which was in my locker.

I debated leaving it in my locker until lunch, but let’s be honest. I’d rather be late to class then go without my phone. So, I turned and went the opposite way towards the stairs. Quickly, I hopped down the stairwell and turned down the hallway to my locker.

As other kids started to enter their classrooms, and the hallway became emptier and emptier, I grabbed my phone from my locker and slammed it shut. Then, I practically ran through the hallways to get to my class.

As I turned sharply around a corner, I practically smashed into two people. However, I managed to skid to a stop and only stumble into them slightly. I regained my composure and started to mumble an apology, but I stopped when I saw who I’d run into.

Standing in front of me was Maya and Triss, together. Maya, who was usually dressed in cute summer dresses or skirts was dressed, well, slutty. She had on a pair of shiny black leggings and a white t-shirt that was translucent enough for me to make out the seams and shape of her pale green bra.

Instantly, I knew that she wasn’t on my side anymore.

“Excuse you,” Triss said, her mouth clenching together in what was supposed to be an intimidating expression. Instead, the girl honestly just looked constipated.

“No, I’m fine,” I replied, crossing my arms over my chest.  

“You’re something, Reed, but I don’t think it’s fine,” Maya scoffed, and she and Triss smirked. I just rolled my eyes.

“Ouch,” I deadpanned, “That really hurts me so badly. Excuse me while I go pitch myself off of a cliff because two girls tried to insult me.”

“Good,” Triss said, and I got the feeling that she hadn’t picked up on my sarcasm. The look Maya gave her confirmed that I was probably right. “Then, I can have Parker all to myself.”

“Really, Triss,” I said with a sigh, “We’re going to fight over a guy?”

“Why fight when I’ve already won,” Triss replied, shrugging, “You’re just a phase. Pretty soon, Parker is going to realize what he’s missing, and he’s going to come back begging for me.”

“Oh,” I said, feigning shock. “Well, if that’s the case, I’m going to have to get my fill of Parker before he abandons me for a depressing-looking threesome.” I looked from Maya to Triss and grimaced. “Yeah, that doesn’t look like fun.”
