You grumbled as the sound of a song started waking you up from your sweet dreams. You already can’t remember what the dream was, you just knew that your favorite song suddenly became very annoying for waking you up. You cursed a little under your breath as you reached for your cell and saw that it was Beka calling you. You answered the call “Beka! Do you know what time it is! Its seven in the morning!” You hissed as you rubbed your head.
“Yeah, and did dummy know school started today! You’re going-“ You didn’t even here the rest of her words as you hung up and sprung out of bed. You had completely forgotten. Summer break was over and it was your junior year of high school. How could you forget?
You started the water to your shower and began brushing your teeth while the water warmed up. You frowned as you realized you wouldn’t have time to style your hair and it made you even more irritated. Why didn’t mom- oh yeah, mom is at a conference. You had to remind yourself of your mother’s being out of town as you hopped into the shower and quickly bathed yourself. You didn’t even bother with the conditioner because you knew it took ages to wash it all out and you would rather your hair be dry that greasy looking.
Once you were clean enough you turned off the water and rapped a towel around your head so it would start dying your (h/l), (h/c) hair. After dressing in your lucky shirt and dark skinny jeans you quickly laced up your converses. In one swift motion you pulled the towel off your head and grabbed your messenger bag and rushed out of your room and into the kitchen where you grabbed your favorite flavor of yogurt and gulped it down.
Finally you were able to head out the door and into the morning. It was damp and humid in the air from last nights rain. God, muggy weather sucks, you thought as you jogged down the sidewalk to your school.

You burst into your first class right when the bell rang. Your hair was a complete mess and the fits of laughter from your biggest bully made you growl. Surprisingly it silenced her and made her look away. That’s right. Buzz off, Amanda. You smile smugly as you walked to your seat that was right up front. Sadly neither of your two besties was in this class, but thankfully Kaylee would be in the next one.
The teacher came in and began the droning lecture, but like a good student you listened intently and took detailed notes. You did your best to ignore the random paper balls that would smack you in the back of the head and the snickers from your attackers as you clenched your hand. They were really annoying. Why did this have to be the first class for the rest of the semester? You couldn’t help but drop your head into your desk, causing a small thud. School officially sucked like always.

The bell rung, dismissing you from your third class and telling you it was time for lunch. You skipped through the crowds, excited to meet your friends. They were waiting for you by the entrance and you tackled them in a hug. Beka laughed out and hugged you back while Kaylee shrunk into your grasp, looking to the floor shyly. Beka’s waist length brown hair swayed while she pulled you and the other girl to the line. “Its been so long!” Beka cried while her green eyes sparkled with excitement.
The blonde haired girl shook her head, her blue eyes showing concern. “Beka, it has only been two days since we last saw each other.” You laughed as she let out a deep sigh. She was always the logical one of the group, never too excited. You wondered why she still hung out with the two of you. Both you and Beka were nut cases.
“It has felt like a long while.” You admitted while you rubbed your head and smiled at her. This made Kaylee smile and nod. “I suppose.” She said as the three of you finally made it to the front of the line and grabbed your plates. You all settled on pizza like every day at school for the past two years. You realized this year would be no different, but that wasn’t a bad thing, was it?
You thought on this while you walked behind your two besties and let them find a seat in the already crowded lunchroom. You had been wishing for something to change recently. Your life wasn’t really horrible… but it was boring except for when you were with your friends, which was rare besides school and the occasional day on the weekends when you could meet up.
Both Kaylee and Beka had a lot of things they’re parents let them do. Beka was on the swimming team and the track team. She had a tall and lean build, so it fit her perfectly. Your shorter friend, Kaylee, was smart and cunning. She was in several clubs such as math, debate and science. She also took vocal lessons.
You were the odd one out even in your group of friends. You didn’t really have any talents and you weren’t really athletic. You weren’t a genus but you managed to keep your B average throughout your schooling. Even your own mother admitted to you that you weren’t important and wouldn’t go far in life. It made you angry, to say the least. But not at them, it wasn’t their fault you sucked so much.
“(F/n)? Heeeyyy~” You shook your head and looked up to see Beka’s hand in your face as she waived at you. “Oh sorry, what’s up?” You asked as you tilted your head. Both your friends sighed before Kaylee piped up, “You were out of it for a long while. Everything okay?” She asked you and you quickly nodded and smiled big. “Yeah its just that my mother’s out of town and I was hoping she was okay. I haven’t heard from her in a few days.”
“Oh! We should spend the night!” Beka shouted and looked too excited. Kaylee looked at her with skeptical blue eyes. “Oh? It’s a school night, baka”. The blonde girl chopped her hand over the other’s head and it made her flitch. “Oww… Kaylee~” She pouted and the other only crossed her arms and huffed.
You smiled gently at the two. Kaylee may be smaller but she could pack quite a punch. You always wondered if they might have a thing for each other but you couldn’t be too sure and you didn’t want to intrude. They’re bickering was interrupted when a boy came up to the table.
“Hey, are one of you (F/n)?” Your friends looked at you, and you looked at them before the three looked back at the boy. You hadn’t seen him before and you all wondered who he was. “T-that’s me.” You said a little unsurely as your (E/c) eyes examined him with curiosity. He had shaggy black hair that looked puffy and soft. And his eyes were a deep brown that looked oddly like chocolate. Chocolate. Oh it would be good to have some chocolate about now.
He looked down at you with a teethy smile. “Well hey, I’m Joshua. I was wondering if you wanted to hang out sometime?” Your two friends nearly squealed and jumped out of their seats, which made you jump yourself. You felt your face turn a light pink as you avoided eye contact with the boy. “Uh… Sure? I guess.” You nodded your head. “Yeah that could work.” You fumbled your two index fingers together, which was a nervous habit you started since you were young.
Joshua’s smile grew and he leaned over to hug you in your seat, making your body go ridged as a wonderful smell of cologne filled your nostrils. You had to keep yourself from swooning. He pulled up but kept his hands on your shoulders. “Great. Then here’s my number. Text me sometime.” He handed you a piece of paper as if he had been planning to do this. He walked away, waiving. You slowly waived back but before you could look at the paper, Kaylee snatched it from your hand and looked at it.
“I… It looks legit.” She mumbled as she stared in disbelief. You were just asked out on your first day of school. Oh wow, could life get anymore interesting? You smiled giddily and took the paper back from your friend and put the number in your cell.

It was the end of the day and you were standing outside of the school talking with your friends. You saw Kaylee look at her phone and gasped. “I need to go, I have practice.” You watched as Beka checked the time herself. “Yeah same here. I’ll see you guys around” You smiled at the two, a little jealous that they actually had somewhere to be. All you had to do was go home and laze around. You said your byes and turned to head home.
