Magenta
Waking up, I wasn't sure if the weather was supposed to be a sign of how the day was going to be.
The sky was full of grey clouds and rain poured down from the sky, covering my window with an endless tread of raindrops.
Soon after, Dad had woken me telling me he cooked pancakes. I hadn't felt so happy in a morning for a while. He had been so busy with Andrea but now that Dad had talked to her, and left her as a result of their heated conversation, he was really here for me.
"These are amazing". I try to say through a mouth full of food.
"I'm glad." He says as he sips coffee and reads his newspaper. "You should get ready though, don't want you to be late for school."
I nod and finish up the pancake in my plate before racing upstairs to get ready. I change out of my pyjamas into a comfy black sweater and denim skirt. Deciding not to brave the cold, I pull on a pair of stocking and then slide on my warm boots.
After neatly doing my hair in a low, loose bun and grabbing what I need for class, I bound downstairs to find some food for school.
"Alright I'm off." I kiss my dad's cheek.
"Have a good day." He says, throwing an apple that I catch.
I run out the front door taking the umbrella from beside the front door and glancing at the clock as I leave seeing I have almost enough time to get to school by walking. My usual walking speed is slightly increased and I try to keep it constant so as to not be late. Having science first means that if I'm even two minutes late, my teacher will report me as truanting. My umbrella blocks most of the rain from hitting me but every now and then the wind will blow it to the side and allow a surge of rain to wet me and my clothes.
Suddenly, a strong wind pushes me to the side and I stumble, almost tripping over a crack in the side walk. My umbrella flips inside it and I'm instantly almost soaking wet. I groan trying to fix my umbrella but with no success I give up and start to run.
Beep
I turn to my right to see a familiar black BMW pulling over. "Hop in."
Unlike last night, I jump in with no hesitation. Connor throws inside out umbrella over the back of the seats into the boot and I sight feeling the warmth of the car.
"Thank you so much, and sorry about getting your car wet." I wince as I see the water dripping out of my hair.
"Don't worry about it." Tristan says.
When I look up, I'm surprised to see Tristan in the passenger seat and Brad driving.
"Wait you can drive Brad? I thought you failed your driving yet."
"I took it again and passed so Tris is letting me drive to school." He smiles earning a scoff from the taller boy.
"Actually, your mum called mine practically pleading for me to let you drive to build your confidence."
"Yeah whatever." I can practically hear Brad's eye roll and stifle a laugh.
We pull up to school and Brad takes my hand. I hesitate before wrapping my hand around his with a smile. The bell had just rung so not many people were in the hall but some were and they gave us curious looks.
Sometimes I forget that these boys are literally the kings of the school. They all seem like your average goofy teenagers, not at all the boys who everyone looks up to; wanting to either be them or be with them.
I feel Brad squeeze my hand reassuringly and realise that I've stopped walking.
"Are you okay?" He asks.
"Yeah, I was just thinking." I trail off before shaking my head. "It's nothing."
He nods before letting go of my hand. "This is your class."
I look at the door in front of me and realise it's my geography classroom. Suddenly Brad pulls me tightly into him, wrapping his arms around waist and my arms go around his neck without thinking.
"I'll see you at break." He winks as he pulls away and I nod.
I cheekily blow him a kiss and he pretends to catch it before walking off with James and Tristan. Connor stays with me as we're in the same class and we go in together, getting in just because the tardy bell goes.
We settle into our seats and take out our books to quickly write down what's in the board. Throughout the lesson we pass note to each they and hide our laughs behind our hands when the teacher looked at us.
I hadn't really talked much to Connor before, but it turns out that he's pretty cool. He's Scottish (which is obvious from his accent) and he owns a pet bearded dragon Rex, which explained out past confusion about who Rex was.
He tells me about his favourite bands and why he started to play the bass guitar. I find that we like quite a few of the same bands and we bond over our shared interest in them
The bell for the end of the double period rings and we stumble out of the class laughing as the teacher glared at us.
"You two look happy." James raises an eyebrow as we enter the cafeteria
"She's pretty funny." Connor shrugs and I laugh.
"I'm not funny, you're just easily amused."
I smile at Brad but see he has a small frown on his face which makes my face fall.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine."
The rest of break is pretty quiet apart from James' rambling about a girl he met. Apparently she goes to another school but she's thinking of transferring here. Finally the bell rings and I sigh in relief. Brad's silence has my mind racing, wondering if I've done anything wrong. Seeing him walking to our next class I run to catch up to him.
"Brad please talk to me, what's wrong?"
"Nothing," he sighs. "It's stupid."
"You can tell me, you know that." We stop and face each other as I look up at him with concern.
"It's just...I don't know I saw you all happy with Connor and I got jealous." He mumbles.
I couldn't hep it, I laughed.
"Are you kidding?" I ask while giggling but only receive a frown.
I stand on the tips of my toes and lightly kiss his cheek. "Brad, I like you. Not Con, not Tris. You."
"I know, I told you it was stupid." He takes my hands in his and we just stare at each other.
Slowly, he leans lose so that I can feel his hot breath tickling my ears. "By the way I never told you, you looked so fucking good yesterday in your running tights and sports bra."Then he straightens up and walks away as the warning bell rings, leaving me stunned.
It takes me a moment to regain my composure before running to my music class. I run through the classroom door apologising to the teacher and sit down in the chair next to Brad. I turn around to smile at Jackie and she gives me a look clearly confused by my flustered state. Tris smirks next to her and I refrain from sticking the finger up at him. I turn back around and jump when I feel a hand rest itself on my leg. Glancing to my right, I see Brad looking straight ahead like his hand isn't creeping up my stocking clad legs towards the hem of my skirt. I give him a 'really?' look and a small smirk places itself on his face.
"Alright so the groups are..." I tune out only returning my attention to Mr Cate when I hear my name. "Magenta, Brad and Abigail."
My heart stops and I look at Brad whose fingers have stopping tracing circles on my leg.
"Well this will be interesting." I hear Tristan mumble and I turn around to shoot him the hardest glare I could muster.
Hola! I feel like every chapter I'm saying sorry for a late update, but sorry once again I truly am terrible at updating. But I'm going to try and make the next chapter funny or interesting, or both :)
I hope you're having a great day and you're happy
How was your Halloween?
