Open Me Up

Chapter three: Project

Chapter three...

I woke up the next day to rain. Sheeting rain outside of my window. I smiled.

I took a nice, hot shower and then headed to my room to get ready for the day.

Honestly, I really didn't know what I was going to wear to school. I wish I had Roge and Clare right now to help.

I shook my head and forgot about it. It doesn't matter what I wear to school. Not like it's a fashion show. Unless you a 'schools pet', then yeah.

I pulled on a pair of red skinny jeans, a black tee that said 'GREEN DAY' on it and had a pic of Billie Joe, Mike and Tre on it as well.

I pulled on my hoodie and my grey high tops before fixing my hair and makeup and flinging my book bag over my shoulder. I trudged down the stairs and ran to the kitchen, pulling out anything that looked good.

I ate some Krave cereal, an apple, some orange juice and a muffin. After that, I got myself a small cup of coffee, drank that then ran up to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

I made it outside just in time to catch the bus. I climbed up and took my seat in the back and pulled out my music.

Today, I was in more of a Green Day mood, so I played every album till I got to school.

I walked to home room and took my seat, still playing my music. My hair draped over my shoulders and hid the wires of my headphones.

Once the bell rang, though, I had to pause ¿Viva La Gloria? (Little Girl) and pull out my notebook.

We were supposed to take notes till the bell rang for first hour, but I was only writing song lyrics on my paper.

I ended up writing the full lyrics of Holiday and all the lyrics for Black Veil Brides, The Mortican's Daughter.

Then the bell rang and I shoved my notebook back into my bag before I headed off to my first period.

Once I got to fourth hour, which was science, I was stunned to realize that we were doing partner projects.

I felt a little uncertain about it, because I had learned that most of my class mates only took interest in me by knowing my band. I sulked into my desk.

"Alright students, as you see on the board, today is 'Partner Project' week. You will all be assigned a partner to work out a body virus system presentation that you will present at the end of the week," the teacher told us. I groaned inwardly. I saw out of the corner of my eye, some chick raise her hand.

"Uh, yes?" the teacher asked the girl.

"Will we be able to choose our partners?" she asked lightly. I sat up straighter, curious.

"Uhm, no. I have already assigned your partners," the teacher explained. I sank back down into my seat.

I guess doing a solo project was out of the question.

"Alright, listen up. Here are your partners." The teacher began naming out all the pairs. I only listened when she mentioned my name.

"May Sharei and Alex Harpp," she called.

Who? Who was Alex Harpp? I looked around. Maybe he knew me, 'cause I certainly wasn't going to get up and look. I don't know him.

Do I?

"Uhm, May Sharei?" a husky make voice asked. I looked up, and froze.

He had shaggy, emo-styled crow black hair, dark green eyes, really dark. He was sorta pale, he had full pink lips and one bottom lip that was a bit fuller, a black lip ring and a small silver nose ring.
