Chapter 1 : Azaleas
You were staring at the class board without a thought behind your eyes, it was just History after all and you were good at most of your subjects so there was no worry when not listening.
A hand moved in front of your face waving desperately for your attention, you looked over to your friend Riley who was grinning from ear to ear. They had long blonde hair and big grey eyes and their smile was held together by their braces.
“ Didn’t hear the bell?” they asked giggling a bit
“ wh- huh?” you were stunned from being snapped out of your empty thoughts
“ IT’S SUMMER BREAK (....)!!!!” they shouted. You got up and dragged your goofy friend before they could make more of a scene than that shout caused.
“ Soooooo...” they started as you both walked down the hall, you raised an eyebrow at their mischievous smirk , “ wanna hang out later today? We could even have a sleepover at mine! Or yours?”
They were suddenly spilling with ideas of what to do for the rest of the day. “OR ooh! ooh ! we could go to that new diner place?”
“ oh god no” you shivered,the place gave you the creeps
“ awwww but it might be fun! “ you shook your head as you stopped at your locker to discard unwanted books.
“Fuck to the no Ri” you shoved a bunch of books into the locker “ Those creepy ass animatronics scare the living shit out of me,” you closed your locker and swung your bag back on “ plus isn't it for kids?” you questioned but Riley was already thinking of other things , Bella Ramirez more specifically.
She was a beautiful latina girl with smooth, tan skin dotted with beauty marks that the sun blessed upon her and wavy hair that she had up in a ponytail with a cute pink headband bow. She wore mostly pink with hints of white or ,if she was feeling daring, black. She always had a lil drawn on heart on her cheek.
She was beautiful and she knew it, you and Riley always felt so lucky that she had decided to be your best friends. “ Hello you two!” she embraced you both in a hug and gave you both quick pecks on the cheeks. ( she said french people did it)
“ Summer break can you believe it?” she said still holding onto you lightly, she was a sucker for physical affection,
” it almost feels fake” you said nodding to the doors so the two would follow.
Once outside you could feel the hot heat from the sun blazing down onto your bare neck, birds were singing and you could clearly hear all the noise from the rowdy teens in your year including a brown haired Brit boy with a fox mask and his gaggle of friends.
Now you don't know why you hated Micheal Afton with a passion but you did. Maybe it was because he was British and you were Irish, natural enemies, or maybe it was cause he was a massive cunt.
“ OI (....) !” Micheal called out, Bella was holding your arm and walking just ever so faster to move past the boys for eveyones sake because you and Michael always ended up fighting, but Micheal was lanky and so fucking persistant “ Hey! Ever learnt some fucking manners?”
He caught up to you and grabbed your wrist from Bella’s hold “ Feck off Afton-”
“no need to be a git-”
“ You started it you fe-”
“ I did not i was simply catching your attention and-”
“well maybe I didn’t want to give you my attention now-”
“do you ever shut up and list-”
“Ex fucking scuse me?” You barked back at him and like that you both continued rambling over each other while both your groups of friends watched in confusion,a few of them came from different cultural backgrounds but whatever the two of you were spouting and spitting it was not comprehensible to them.
Bella started to pull you towards her car ever so slowly while Michael followed suite still yappin about anything he could think of meanwhile Bella and Riley were struggling to get you in the passenger seat cause you had a lot to say to this fecker.
Finally a teacher came out to see what all the yelling was about and shut you both up quickly “ Sorry Miss..” you both said in unison to the angry teacher
“ You two really need to start getting along , it's becoming a daily migraine dealing with the both of you!” She finally walked off to the staff room to probably take another pain killer.
Michael turned to you “Now that you’ve finally shut your bloody mouth,” you were about to start up again before he quickly cut you off “ Could you tell your brother to meet us at the lake ‘round 6?” you pondered on whether to be a bitch again or just say yes and never really deliver the message
“ I’ll think about it” you plastered an obviously fake smile.
“Listen if ya can’t be bothered-” You rolled your eyes at him
“Fine! I’ll tell him since you can’t be arsed to do it yourself…`` Before he could say anything else you got in the car and looked at Bella , she understood quickly and started to pull out of the school.
