Chapter 1: Going to school.

Tasha woke up to the sound of her alarm clock blaring loudly in her ear. She groaned and threw the alarm clock across her room, which shattered against the wall. Tasha started to fall back asleep but then her phone started to ring. It played a song called 'Bad Liar' by Imagine Dragons. Sophia was calling her. Tasha hit the answer button and put the phone on speaker.

"What do you want?" Tasha asked, finally getting out of her bed.

"Good morning to you too." Sophia said, seeming very stressed about something.

"What's up?" Tasha asked as she set her phone down on her dresser and got an outfit for the school day. There wasn't a dress code but there were differently styled uniforms if a student wanted to wear one but still wanted to show off their style.

"Well, I met up with Rogue and Layla at the park early this morning and guess who showed up? FRICKING BEN OF ALL PEOPLE!" Sophia yelled into the phone angrily.

"Oh god." Tasha said, "How bad is it?" Tasha heard a door open over the phone, Sophia was outside now. Over the wind, Tasha could hear yelling. Then she heard Rogue and Ben cussing at each other over the phone. Sophia went back into wherever she had been before.

"Is it too late to tell everyone I have the plague and can't come to school?" Tasha asked, walking down to the kitchen for breakfast.

"Yep. Everyone but Ben knows you're fine." Sophia responded. She started to cough quietly for a minute, then stopped. Tasha popped some toast into the toaster and started to get her bag ready. She set her phone on the coffee table in the living room and kept talking to Sophia.

"Do you remember the contraband list?" Tasha asked. It was their second year at Roblox High School, but Tasha still couldn't remember what was banned from the school.

"Nothing obviously bad. I don't think you're allowed to have your boombox in school though." Sophia answered. Tasha sighed.

"But I need good music!" Tasha complained, "School's gonna be the death of me!"

"We skip a lot of classes, Tasha. We bring a lot of banned items, we aren't good students." Sophia said. Tasha looked at her clock. She had 15 minutes to get to school, and she wasn't even ready yet!

"Where are you right now?" Tasha asked Sophia, pulling her burnt toast from the toaster. Dammit... Tasha thought angrily to herself as she turned off speaker on her phone and held in by her ear with her shoulder.

"Basement." Sophia muttered angrily, Rogue and Ben were a lot louder over the phone now. Sophia was raising her voice to be heard. Tasha got into her car and set GPS to Roblox High and then she started driving, taking a few bites of her burnt toast at red lights. Tasha parked and hung up, shoving the rest of her burnt toast in her mouth and wincing at the loud cussing coming from the school basement as she stepped out of her car. The bell rang as Tasha ran down the hall to P.E. class.

"No! Shoot!" Tasha cried as she approached the gymnasium. She burst through the doors just as her name was called for attendance.

"Tasha?" The teacher asked, looking around the room.

"Here!" Tasha gasped, seeing Sophia and walking towards her. The teacher nodded, giving Tasha a suspicious look. Then she continued saying attendance.
