I rolled over onto my side smacking my annoying ass alarm clock that had been beeping at me for the past 20 minutes it felt like.
Was it really Monday already? The first day of junior year.
Normally people would be excited to go back to school, not the case for me.
Learning, boys, and drama. Quite literally the only things that happen at my school.
I sat up on the edge of my bed and rubbed my eyes.
"Lilly..did you take my sweatshirt again" I shouted while looking over at my chair where my hoodie wasn't, even though I put it there last night, like I always do.
No response from Lilly, she's my little sister. It's her first year of high school.
I got up and threw on some pants over my underwear and walked out of my room and into the bathroom. I grabbed my tooth brush and put this nasty mint toothpaste on it. I brush my teeth for a solid minute then walked down stairs to the kitchen.
My older brother Luke was making toast.
Why was he cooking? I'm wondering the same thing.
"Why are you cooking" I said while opening the fridge and grabbing out the bottle of orange juice.
"Because...I'm hungry??" He snapped back.
"Someone grumpy" I said making fun of him.
The toast popped out of the toaster, the smell of burnt bread filled the air, the whole kitchen basically smelt like burnt bread now.
"Oh look, you burnt it."
"Shut up Ashley" He replied.
"Sorry sorry" I said while snatching a slice of the partially burnt toast and chomping down on it. I've never spit out a piece of bread so fast. It tasted like charcoal.
"Ewwww Luke" I said while grabbing a glass from the dishwasher and pouring the orange juice into it and quickly taking a big sip.
"Why would you eat the part of it that was the most burnt" he asked with a snarky tone.
I ignored him and rolled my eyes.
"Where's Lilly" I asked.
"She left for school already. Kids a little excited." He replied.
"Are you not excited?? It's your last year of high school bro" I said while pulling out the stool and sitting down.
"Not really. It's the same thing every year" Luke said while eating the burnt toast.
"Understandable" I said while chugging the rest of my orange juice then walking back upstairs to my bed room.
What to wear? Jeans? Sweats? Shorts? Tank top? T-shirt? Ugh.
I opened my top drawer of my dresser and grabbed out a black cropped tank top and a black lace bra. I didn't have much boob, but let me tell you. This bra. Did magical things to my boobs, made them look like they were THERE. Anyways, I pulled open my bottom drawer and grabbed a pair of grey sweatpants. A size bigger then my normal size, just made them even more comfy.
I threw on my clothes and grabbed my black converse and set them by my back pack so I remembered which shoes to wear.
I walked over to my stand up mirror with my makeup bag in my hands and sat down on the floor and threw on some concealer over the stupid breakout I just got on the side of my face near my eyebrow and some mascara.
I took my hair out of the ponytail it had been in since yesterday afternoon. I brushed out my knotted hair while squinting my eyes the whole entire time. Ouch.
"Luke can you drive me today" I shouted down the stairs as I was tying my shoes up.
"Sure" I heard back.
It was 7:45 AM school started at 8:00, to early in my opinion.
I walked down the stairs while throwing on my zip up grey hoodie and my backpack over my back.
"Ready?" I asked while turning the corner of the stairwell.
"Mhm" Luke said while walking to the front door.
Once we got to the driveway I got into the front seat and toyed with my rings. I guess I was nervous, Luke always said junior year was the year people actually obtained decent looks. Oh boy. Was I in for a treat.
"Why don't you drive on your own?" He asked me as he pulled out of the driveway.
I'm 16, just got my drivers license over the summer.
"I'm lazy" I replied.
"True" he agreed in a joking manner.
Once we arrived at school I hopped out of the car before Luke could get the chance to park, I walk over to the entrance of the school I was meant to go in this year and my jaw dropped to the floor. Well, not really. In my mind it definitely did.
Man was I staring at the finest boys I had ever laid my eyes on. All of them looked so different then they did last year.
I was in shock. As I was in the middle of being zoned out staring at everyone before I know it one of my best friends Alice jumped up behind me.
"Holy shit" she said
"I know." I replied
"Why does everyone look so..grown" she added
"Wish I could tell you. I guess we look older too?" I said
"In a way sure" she replied.
"Look at Myles, Alice- oh my god. I remember when that boy had a pedo stash and bowl cut..no way that's him." I said
"Good thing I like women." Alice teased.
Me and Alice walked into the school after hearing the first bell ring,
"What's your first period?" I asked
"Math." Alice replied
"You?"
"I have history first" I answered.
We went our separate ways for the day.
While I was walking to history I ran into jack, one of my best friends from middle school. Gosh he was fine.
Turns out we have the same first period, we both walk into the classroom and pick our seats, I choose the seat in the middle of the room, jack sits next to me. The desks are aligned in rows there for I was like directly centered in the room.
Next thing I know Myles, Myles Jordan, walks into the classroom and takes the seat on the other side of me. Keep in mind, this is like one of the finest men in the grade.
He slouched low in his chair toying with his messy mop of hair he had.
I stared out of the corner of my eye.
"Hello class" I heard the teacher say hoping she would gather the classes attention as the second bell rang.
"Today we will be starting off strong with a partner project on a review of what you all went over last year, sort of like a pre test. Just more interactive."
Really? A project..it's the first day of school man.
I heard groans come from half of the class.
"Sadly i cannot let you choose your partners since it has to be someone who took the same course as you last year, or was in your class last year. First we have
Jack, and Alyssa.
Emily, and Eva.
Emma, and Adam.
Liam, and Hellen.
And
Myles, and Ashley."
Eyes wide, all I could think of was the word what.
What. What what what.
