"Mmmm…. Wait… what's that noise?"
Garfield Logan, animal extraordinaire and extraordinarily shit at getting out of bed.
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP
"Wait.. is that?"
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP
Gar shot open his emerald eyes and looked at his alarm clock, the bright red numbers read 8:15.
"Oh SHIT!"
Gar quickly jumped out of bed and pounced into his wardrobe, he started to throw out random items of clothing like a dog digging a hole. He looked at each piece of clothing before he tossed it behind him. "Nope not this" "Nope not that" "DEFIANTLY NOT THAT!" Gar had pulled out a ROBIN costume out of his wardrobe that he wore for Halloween last year. He kept on throwing clothes out of his wardrobe until he came across some dark blue jeans, a black top with blue patterns all over it and a blue jacket. "Bingo!" He looked over to the alarm clock it read 8:20 "Crap!" He got changed so fast that he put his jacket on inside out…twice, sorted it out and went over to the bathroom "No time for a shower" he said and went over to the sink to brush his teeth. He grabbed the comb and sorted out his soft green hair (he was born with it and doesn't want to change it) his bangs swept over his emerald eyes, some taking a seat on his eye lashes. In other words he looked SMOKING HO- "Gar honey! You're going to be late again!" shouted his mother. " Yeah I know! I'm almost done!" Gar lunged for his deodorant and sprayed it all over himself, grabbed his black backpack and bolted down the stairs. He ran into the kitchen and yelled "Bye, I gotta go now, love you!" "Gar wait!" Gar turned around "Can you make this fast? I really gotta go!" he pled. "Aren't you forgetting something" said his mother smirking "Like what?" said gar in a annoyed tone. "Well it's something I like to call footwear" Gar looked down at his bare feet "OH FOR FU-" His mother looked at him disapprovingly. "I mean… FOR FLIP SAKE!" With that said gar bolted back up stairs and put his black high-tops on, he looked at the alarm clock again, 8:35
"SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ITT!" He ran down stairs, kissed his mother on her cheek and lunged out the front door, he looked around and saw his best friend Victor Stone. He was sat in his car with his girlfriend Karen Bleecher. "VIC!" Gar yelled, Victor looked up from his steering wheel and grinned "YO! Finally, we've been waiting here for 15 minutes now get ya green but in here!" Gar smiled to his friend and got in the back of the car, he didn't think Vic would wait for him. They drove in silence for a few minutes. "So I hear there's a new girl in school" said Vic breaking the silence, Gar found this to be interesting, there was not many new people that join his school. "Really? What's her name?" Said Gar curiosity taking over him. "I dunno but the rumours are that she's a total ice queen and talks to no one unless necessary" Said Vic. "Oh" said gar a bit disappointed ,he always likes to make new friends, he doesn't care how old they are, where they're from or what they look like. He only cares about the personality.
"Ahh, don't worry grass stain, apparently she doesn't "do" friends" Vic used his fingers to air quote the word "do". "VIC put your hands back on the wheel!" yelled a angry Karen who sat next to him. "heh sorry". Gar wasn't listening to their petty little argument, he was just focused on the situation on hand. "No friends"? Gar innocently questioned "how can someone live without any friends?" he asked sadly. Vic and Karen turned around from their current argument to face him, their faces filled with a puzzled look then Vic suddenly remembered that he was the one who was driving and swiftly turned around swerving out of the way of a oncoming car. "Why you so sad Gar?" questioned Karen "yeah grass stain" said Vic butting in "why are you feeling sorry for a girl you've never even met, she doesn't want friends, why should we feel sorry for her, it was her choice" Gar sighed "I know but imagine not having any friends, she must be so lonely. I mean…I wouldn't know what to do if I weren't friends with all you guys" "Aw! My little grass stain you know we love you right?" said Vic in baby talk. "Don't be going all sappy on us Gar" interrupted Karen with a smirk, Gar just laughed, puffed out his chest and said in a deep voice "Don't you worry Karen! I'm a man I don't do sappy!" "oh yeah? What about the time where you, me, Jade, Jenny, Toni and kori had to watch that anime Clannad that Kori forced us to watch?" Gar sprang up and started to silently beg her not to carry on and tell Vic, he'll never let him live it down. "OOOO why what happened?!" said Vic begging for the gossip "well" Karen began before she was cut off by Gar "ALL THE GIRLS STARTED CRYING AND I HAD TO COMFORT THEM, BYE!" Gar yelled and tried to franticly open the car door but Vic had locked it. "Ha!" Karen snorted "More like the other way around! Our little green friend was in tears hugging himself!" Vic let out a laugh that would put the joker's menacing laugh to shame, he was laughing like a mad man. Gar sunk lower into his seat and put his head on the window for the rest of the journey to school. When they finally pulled up Vic was still laughing and wiping the tears from his eyes because his girlfriend also showed Vic the video of Gar crying at the movie. "YOU SAID YOU DELETED THAT!" Gar shouted causing a few other students to look their way. "How could I delete THIS? ! , This is pure blackmail material!" said Karen looking quite pleased with herself . "Yeah whatever I gotta go, later you guys" said Gar as he waved walking backwards "AND DON'T SHOW ANYONE ELSE!" "You got it grass stain!" shouted Karen. As Vic and Karen when off to their lesson Gar walked lazily to his, Gar pulled out his old Gameboy and started to play Pokémon "Come on! Don't use that full restore shit on me!" Gar shouted angrily at the screen. Gar started to walk down the stairs when he tripped over his shoe lace "WOAHH!" He shouted as he tumbled down the stairs successfully knocking someone else over and sending them down with him in the process. When they landed Gar's Gameboy flew out of his hand onto the floor. "NO! my Gameboy!, my precious baby!" He got up and ran over to it and held it lovingly. 'yeah it's fine I'm okay' thought sarcastically. The dark girl knelt down and picked up her books when Gar turned around and noticed her "Oh my god, I knocked you down the stairs didn't ? Urggh! I'm so stupid! Are you okay?" he asked face filed with concern.
He looked at her more closely and realised he couldn't see her face because of her black hoodie. She wore dark blue skinny jeans that commented her legs very nicely and a pair of black converse. "I'm fine" she answered and started to walk off "Wait! I don't even know your name! my name is Garfield Logan but you can call me Gar"
She stared at the ground and muttered "Good for you" Gar looked at the floor, 'Ah well she's a sarcastic one isn't she?' Gar thought.
"Wait you still haven't told me your na-" before he could finish his sentence he looked up and she was gone.
'What? Where could she have gone? It's just one long corridor with no doors but the boiler and staff room' Gar thought. 'Probably a fast walker'
Gar looked at his watch, class had started over 5 minutes ago. " Crap!" Gar picked up his pace to…to… "God damn it! What class am I in?!" He stopped and thought through all the possible classes for first period when… "history, that's it" He then sprinted down the corridor and swung open the class room door and came across a teacher doing equations on the board. All the students in the class looked up from their work. "Shit, wrong class sorry!" He quickly shut it and heard the roar of the students laughter. As the teacher went ballistic, opening the classroom door and shouting him to go back to him and threatening him with detentions Gar turned a corner and saw his class. He'd been going this school for years now and couldn't believe he was still getting the rooms wrong. He swung the door open and apologised to the teacher for being late, sat down at his desk and put his head on the table slowly closing his eyes when… " Rachel Roth, I know your new here but surly you know that it's impolite to keep your hood up when making a first impression." 'New?' Gar thought as he sat up to look where everyone else was looking he turned to face the girl he knocked down the stairs earlier. "But sir, i-" before she could continue the teacher cut her off " No but's I don't care put it down now" Rachel sided and looked down at the table before removing her hood. After she removed her hood everyone gasped. Not because she was ugly or had hideous marks on her face, it was because she was breathtakingly beautiful. Her long violet hair cascaded down her porcelain face, her eyes where dark amethyst orbs which were intoxicating. She was as pale as a ghost and had soft pale lips in other words she was the most beautiful girl Gar had ever seen. When everyone gasped she looked down at her desk, her cheeks going red with embarrassment. 'Wow she sure hates attention' Gar thought. 'I wonder someone that beautiful would want to hide their face, well obviously to avoid attention but still.. WOW!.' Gar realised he had been staring at her and quickly turned around, he was glad she sat next to him she seemed nice underneath that sarcastic ice queen façade she was putting on.
