-------//-------//-------//-------
'OH FUCK!' I hissed. 'STUPID TABLE!' I clutched my toe while hopping around on the other foot in hopes it would actually stop the pain. 'Stupid Mondays. Stupid mornings. Stupid Kim. Stupid table. Stupid me.' I ranted, hopping my way into my room. I sat down on bed and inspected my toe. Thankfully it was still in one piece considering the amount of attacks by mean furniture edges. I scowled at the toe.
'This is why I've told you to walk like a girl and not a drunk.' I remember my Grammy telling me when this happened earlier. Wise words, Grammy. But a girl being too girly is overrated.
Gently putting my foot down, as if testing the waters, I went towards my closet and picked out my outfit. Plaid shirt and Capri pants. You can't go wrong with plaid. Or Capri...
This is the last week of school! Yay! Her comes the boring holidays. Ok I'm kinda weird when it comes to summer. I hate school. And I hate the holidays cuz it's too boring at times... So I guess I'm in between. Like an island in the middle of two seas. Like the No Mans Land.
I made myself a quick chicken salad sandwich using yesterday's left over chicken kebabs and waited for my ride. It wasn't long before the bell rung and I met my ride.
'Hey.' I said.
'Hi... Ready?' I shrugged.
'Okay. Let's go then.' He mumbled pressing the G button on the elevator taking us down.
He walked ahead of me to a black Hyundai i30. Eric unlocks it with the remote key and climbs in, gesturing or me to as well. I climb in shotgun and buckle up.
'Nice ride.' I say to avoid the awkwardness.
'Thanks.' He mumbled backing out of the parking slot.
'Your own?'
'Yeah,' he says with a glance my way.
I nod and look out the window.
'Mind if I stop for coffee?' He asks.
'Go ahead.' I mumbled.
He pulled up at Starbucks and asked me if I needed anything. I shook my head. I slumped in the seat. I hate Kim... So much right now. If I cycled I wouldn't have stopped for coffee. And if have been there earlier since I could avoid any traffic but no. She has to get her prince fucking Charming.
I was startled slightly by the sudden click of the doors being unlocked when Eric got back, a coffee in hand.
The rest of my epic journey to school was filled with silence and awkwardness from both of us.
'So how was your morning?' I asked Kim.
'Oh great!' She smiled.
'Good cuz this is the end of your life!'
'Woah woah woah!' I struggled against Derek's grip. 'As much as I'd like to see a real live bitch fight, I need to ask, what the fuck is going on here?'
'This woman is just totally mental! I swear she just came at me!' Kim pouted and fake sobbed.
'Yeah? I could've taken my bike to school and come here faster than you're little lover boy!'
'Oh that's the problem.' Derek chuckled. 'Kim's boys.'
'Yup.'
'Ok you can continue.' He said releasing his hold.
'WAIT WAIT!' Kim shrieked attracting now the whole schools attention. 'Youre helping you're best friend... You know I'd do the same for you in a heartbeat.'
'Would you?' I asked sarcastically.
'Okay maybe not.' She admitted and I grunted. 'BUT! But I am you're best friend... It's in the unwritten rules to help me in times like this! You're supposed to be my wing women!'
'Sia? Sia! OI Anastasia!'
'Huh huh what's up?' I jolted up.
'Detention is what's up. See you in my class after school.' And a paper slammed on my desk. I stared at it. All that stupid Kim and her someday boyfriend!
'And next time remember you sleep at home, not in class.' Mr David said before walking back to the board.
I groaned silently and slumped on my chair, very much aware of the staring Eric a few rows away from me. I turned and glared at him causing him to turn away super fast.
'Im so sorry...' She tried.
'Dont talk to me.' I grumbled, taking a bite off my sandwich.
'What happened?' Caleb asked sitting beside me.
'What happened is this Missus here is the reason I'm walking home today after detention cuz she had to make her future boyfriend give me a ride.' I said.
'Aw you poor thing... Come ere...' Caleb cooed, embracing me.
'Thank you. I love you.' I said with a pout.
'I love you too.' He said, rubbing my arm, trying to make me feel better.
'Hey...' I looked up at the demons spawn.
'Oh hi Eric come sit down.'
'Oh hi Eric come sit down.' I said in an overly fake voice so only Caleb could hear me. He burst out laughing, his chest rumbling beneath my head.
I finally sat up straight, Caleb's arm still draped over my shoulder, and returned to my food.
While Kin chatted on with Eric, I had my own conversation with the two amazing boys next to me.
'Sia I swear I will kill you if you say anything to Ari about that.' He warned while Caleb and I laughed.
You see, my dear friend Caleb, set up this whole cute seductive room for Ari, his girlfriend (who doesn't go here) and guess who walks in? His mom!
'Oh my gosh!' I wheeze before taking a huge breath and laughing again.
'Whatcha guys talking about?' Kim asked suddenly and we all fell silent.
'Nothing.' I mumbled. I wasn't pissed at her but I just gave her a hard time. I hated playing Cupid. It's the worst job in the world. Seriously you never know when you're going to screw up and that was a chance I hated to take. But she's making me.
'Oh come on you can't possibly-'
'Oh yes I can.' I replied with sass.
'Fine be that way!'
'Fine I will!'
'You're such a drama queen.' Derek whispered and winked.
'I know.' I said returning the wink. Derek and Caleb are used to my dramatics. They love it as well cuz who doesn't like a little drama at times?
I swear time goes slower when you're staring at the clock, watching the second hand move from second to second slowly causing the minute hand to turn. So I counted with the second hand. That turned out to be fun till I started forgetting numbers. I started forgetting what comes after 7, or what comes after 46. I'm a freaking genius, I know. I yawned loudly, waking up the guy next to me. He looked at me as if to say 'what the fuck is that noise you call a yawn' before going back to sleep.
You see, sleep is a magical thing. It comes when you need it, not when you want it. For example: I need sleep when I'm in class because I don't sleep at nights that much. However, I what sleep now cuz I'm so fucking bored but sleep just hates me right now.
I looked at the clock one last time and started counting down the last two minutes of hell.
'54,55,56,57,58,59...60! Yes!' I said to myself before picking up my stuff.
I kicked a pebble as I walked home. The pebble was my new best friend. It kept me company and listened to my ranting. But soon I heard a car slowly approaching me.
'Oh shit... This is it little pebble. I'm going to die. I love you. You are a great listener.' I mumbled to the pebble as I heard the vehicle stop next to me.
'Oi!' I turned to see Kimberly. 'Get in, bitch.' She said with a grin, reaching over and pushing the passenger door open.
You see that, ladies and gentlemen, is a real friend. I smiled and got in and buckled up.
'TO THE CUP CAKERY!!!!'
