The Beginning pt. 1

"Good morning Jasper! It is a beautifully sunny day and its almost summer! At 6:50 we are- "

"God, what an annoying voice. It's too high pitch for me, especially this early in the morning." I complain as I crawl out of bed and start getting ready for school. I run a brush through my rat's nest of hair, somehow getting it tangle-free. I then proceeded to wash my face, and brushed my teeth. When that was all done, I pulled my hair into a low ponytail.

I took one look at the clothes my mum had set out for me the night before, and hung them back up. I got out my favorite red and black band tee, and threw my light-washed, ripped jeans on. I grabbed my Flash converse, and my jean jacket. I pulled them on, applied some mascara and Chapstick, and grabbed my keys. I pass by my mom and dad, giving them their respective hugs, and head out the door, 15 minutes early.

When I arrive at school, I grow increasingly excited because it's my senior year. I managed to convince my parents to let me take all the Get Ahead classes I could, so that I could have a relaxed last year of high school. The only class that wasn't offered in the summer was Anatomy. I also wanted to keep my French up to par, so I signed up for French 4 AP.

Anatomy was boring, as per usual. I always thought it would be more exciting than this; dissecting cats, looking inside a real heart or lung. No, all we do is sit and copy down vocabulary. Today, I decided, was a good day to not pay attention, so naturally I am the one the teacher calls on first.

"Miss Stone, what is the origin of the nickname 'funny bone'?"

"The origin comes from the anatomic name of your upper arm bone, the Humerus. If you hit the Humerus just right, you will get a funny, yet painful sensation. It is a play on words, your Humerus bone is very humorous, or funny." I said without even looking up from my book. The class snickered, and the teacher scoffed.

"Since you're so smart, tell me this: What is the name of the only bone in the body to be considered 'free-floating'?" She asked looking very smug, and sure of herself.

"That would be the hyoid, Miss Sims. This is also the way most Forensic Pathologists know if a person has been strangled." Again, I answer without looking at her. I am too engrossed by Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive to care. The class was relatively calm after that, seeing as how Miss Simms was too embarrassed to try me with another question.

The school day has ended, and I'm sitting with my best friend Miko Nakadai, whom I dubbed Mimi as my nickname for her. She is trying hard to draw again. She succeeds a majority of the time, but sometimes... I'm glad she shows it to me first.

After about ten minutes of talking to Mimi, I hop on my beloved motorcycle. It's something that took about five paychecks to accomplish, but I love it. It is white and black with teal accents. I have seen another one similar around town, except that one is navy blue where mine is black, and pink where mine is white. To get to my house I take the highway, so I pull my hair into a low braid, and tug my helmet on.

After driving not even a mile, I remember that I didn't eat lunch. My stomach grumbles, then I realize there is a drive-in where my friend works at not too far down the road. As I pull into the K.O. Drive-In's drive-thru, I see the two biggest jerks in the school in front of me. I pull my helmet off, so I'm ready to order. I hear some of things they are saying to the guy behind the mic, and I decide to be a jerk to them in return. I pull real close to the trunk of their car, and they turn around to yell at me, but then they see I am a girl.

"Hey, girl. You wanna go out sometime? You look good on that motorcycle." The blonde one in the passenger seat says. His name is Diego, and I had him for one class in freshman year.
