For the first time in forever Lindy Watson walked into school on the first day, begrudgingly. She was dressed in sweats and her hair was a rats nest on her head. She didn't have time to brush her teeth in the morning so she chewed an old piece of mint gum to freshen her breath and held a jumbo coffee mug in one hand and her phone in the other. Logan, her twin brother, pulled up beside her and rolled his eyes.
"Linds, come on!" He said exasperated. "It's the first day of school. You love the first day of school."
"Not this year," she growled and pushed him aside as she made her way to her locker. The opened it up and threw her backpack into it. She pulled out her history book for her first class. She may not want to be at school today but she still wanted to pass her senior year.
"Whatever," Logan muttered. He left his sister and went to his own locker. He felt a pair of arms wrap around his waist and turned around smiling. "Hey babe, how's it-"
"Babe? You mean it?" Standing behind him was none other than Charlotte Dupree. She had transferred to DITKA last year and has been all over Logan for the past 6 months.
"Um, no," Logan said awkwardly scratching the back of his neck. "I actually thought you were Jasmine. You know Jasmine? My girlfriend."
Charlotte's eyes narrowed and her jaw clenched. "Right... Jasmine, your girlfriend." She said last part with so much venom in her voice, Logan was sure she was killing Jasmine and her mind.
Logan cleared his throat. "Um, well it was nice talking to you, but if you'll excuse me, I have to go to class." He went around her and bolted toward the east hallway where he found his girlfriend at her locker, reapplying her lipstick. He went up behind her and hugged her, taking in the intoxicating combination of her vanilla shampoo and lavender perfume.
Jasmine giggled. "Miss me much?"
Logan laughed. "A little. Also I encountered your sworn enemy."
Jasmine's expression quickly darkened. "Ugh," she groaned in disgust. "You talked to Charlotte?"
"Yeah. She snuck up behind me and I thought it was you. So when I realized I was sadly mistaken, I ran here as fast as I could."
Jasmine smiled. "Aww! You hate her as much as I do. You're the best boyfriend ever!" She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him.
Logan smirked. "I know." He gave her s peck on the cheek.
"Ugh! Get a room!" Lindy yelled at them. She walked past and entered first period history. Logan groaned at being rudely interrupted, but Jasmine was concerned.
"Is Lindy okay?"
"Yeah, she's just still not over her breakup with Mathew." Logan sighed.
"But they've been broken up for like a month. Shouldn't she be over him by now?"
"To be fair, he was her first serious boyfriend. I mean, they've been dating since sophomore year, like us. And it doesn't help that she has to work with the jerk. And Lindy won't quit her job because she loves working at the animal shelter. "
"Aww poor Lindy!" Jasmine said. "We need to cheer her up. We need to do something for her."
"Believe me, I've tried everything! It's no use. My sister is officially broken and I don't know how to get her back." Logan looked down dejectedly.
Jasmine held his hand and hugged him. The bell rang and they made there way to class. Logan sighed. It's going to be a long year, he thought.
