Fiction
Maybe this'll be fun...
I woke up still in my clothes from yesterday, including his jacket, I looked at the clock, 6:45 am. I scrambled out of bed and ran to the bathroom to get ready. I shed my clothes of fast and got into the shower, I forgot to take one last night.
I got out of the shower and ran into my room to get dressed. I found my black tank top to wear with my flannel long sleeved shirt with some jeans and my combat boots. I went back into the bathroom to do my makeup, thick black eyeliner and some concealer to hide my stupid acne. I grabbed my backpack and put on my glasses as I ran out to the kitchen and choked down a granola bar and chugged some milk before I left.
I ran out the house and started walking to school, we didn't live that far from the school and I don't have my license yet. I stared at my boots as I walked, the air smelled like leaves and rain and it made me smile. I grabbed my phone out of my back pocket and plugged my headphones in, I started listening to some Pantera as loud as I could take it. I walked in the rhythm of the song and cherished the moment before I had to go to that hellhole of a place.
When I approached my school I felt my stomach drop and my breathing quicken. 'I really don't want to do this' I thought to myself. I seriously hate school, it makes me depressed, stressed and hate everything. 'Fuck' I thought, 'I forgot to do my stupid homework'. 'Eh who cares I'm gonna be a rock star anyways.' I thought, smiling as I took my headphones out.
I got into homeroom just before the late bell rang, my homeroom was math which sucked. I had math with all the stupid populars and none of my friends so that just made it worse, not that I had a lot of friends, just Alex, Rebecca, and Lisa mostly. But I only see them at gym and lunch, I mean there are people I get along with in almost every class but people usually don't talk to me, which I'm mostly glad for. 'I mean there's Jimmy, but yesterday was probably a one time thing,' I thought. 'He's a junior and he has a bunch of friends.'
When it was time for lunch I was both happy and dreading it because of the stupid fucking food no one can choke down. I walked in and went to the line for food, 'yes pizza!' I thought. The only edible thing they serve. I walked over to the place I usually sit.
"Hey Alex!" I exclaimed as I sat down.
"Hi Shauni." She said smiling.
We usually only sit with each other, her friend Stefanie and maybe a couple people that have no where better to be. I wasn't really friends with Stefanie, whenever Alex would leave it was just awkward silence.
"What were you doing yesterday? I tried texting you but you never answered." Alex questioned.
"I went to the bookstore and Starbucks. Sorry I didn't get your texts." I apologized
" Its okay, I was just wondering." She said. "What books did you get?" She asked.
"Fablehaven, and this Edgar Allen Poe book but I lent it to someone." I said.
"Fablehaven? Haven't you read that book like 3 times already?" She asked surprised.
"It's my favorite." I said, giggling.
A couple minutes later Jimmy walked over. 'Why is he coming over here? He can't be done with the book already.' I thought to myself. He was smiling slightly as he walked over, sitting in the available seat next to me.
"Hey shortcake!" He joked.
"Hey Jimmy." I said, rolling my eyes.
"Do you still have my jacket?" He asked. Alex gave me a questioning look.
"Oh god, I forgot. Sorry." I apologized.
"It's okay you wear it. If you want." He stated, smiling as he walked away.
"What was that about?" Alex asked.
"Yeah isn't he a junior?" Stefanie added.
"That's Jimmy, he gave me a ride home last night and let me wear his jacket. It's not a big deal." I said
"Yes it is! What if he likes you!" Alex exclaimed.
"He doesn't, trust me, he was just being a nice guy." I explained.
"You guys should go out!" She exclaimed.
"Shut up! He might hear you and I guarantee he doesn't want to go out with me." I said angrily, lowering my voice. She frowned.
The rest of the day was just me trying act like I was doing work long enough so I could just get out of class. Mrs. Johnson gave me shit for not doing my homework, I don't care if she's mad but when people yell I get really bad anxiety. That's why I hate when teachers yell at me, I couldn't care any less if I'm failing just don't yell in my face you'll make me hyperventilate.
When the last bell rang I sighed in relief, 'finally' I thought. I walked out of the classroom quickly. When I got outside to walk home I took out my phone to listen to music as I walked, I put my headphones in and listened to some music, the song was Clown by KoRn. I turned it up so I didn't have to deal with the rest of the world anymore, because when everyone else is abandoning you, music will always be there for you no matter what. Music is in my heart.
I was barley away from the school when I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I took one of my headphones out and looked up to find a grinning Jimmy looking down at me.
"Hey." He said. "Can I walk with you?" He asked me
"Um sure." I said, apprehensive. "So do you like the book?" I asked him.
"Yeah! I love his poetry, I've been looking for that book for so long, I tried to get it online but everywhere was out of stock." He explained, happily. I smiled at his reaction. "...So where are we walking to?" He asked me.
"Well I'm walking home." I said, chuckling.
"Boring." He stated as he stopped walking and I did too. "We should go to the mall or a party or something." He exclaimed.
"Why? Why not somewhere with no people" I asked him.
"You're kinda antisocial aren't you." He said.
"No I just... Nevermind."
"Come on! I can ask Matt to pick us up he has my truck." He said excitedly.
"Matt?" I asked.
"Oh he's a friend of mine, he's cool don't worry." He stated as he got out his phone.
"No don't," I said thinking of my sister. 'Wait' I thought. 'Why should I care what she thinks, she thinks I'm a stupid little girl.' I thought to myself. "Nevermind, I'll go with you." I said slightly smiling.
"Yeah! That's what I'm talking about!" He yelled happily as he dialed the number into his phone.
'Maybe this'll be fun' I thought. 'I hope.'
