Late…Again

Ok this is my first chapter people, so bear with me here.

As always, Sally awoke in her cold, dark chamber. Instead of a usual groan, she gave a long happy sigh. Last night had been the happiest night of her life. Not only had she saved Santa Claus, she had gotten a kiss from the new love of her life. Sally had always had feelings for Jack, but that kiss really made her fall head over heals in L-O-V-E.

Sally remembered she had school. She glanced at her alarm clock. "Shit, late!" Sally screamed. Over in the bed across the room, a girl with blackish-red hair awakened groggily. "Yes I'll have the coffee cake," she said sleepily. "Lauren, we're late…again," Sally exclaimed, "did you turn off our alarm clock?" Lauren, still asleep, opened her hazel eyes wider, and registered what Sally was saying. "I didn't, maybe Finkelstein did, that no good, old, ducky…," Lauren started saying. "Never mind that, we'll take care of him later." Sally said. They hurriedly got dressed, grabbed their messenger bags, and started down the stairs of the chamber. Dr. Finkelstein could be heard from his lab cackling about his latest creation. They didn't really care, and just walked out the door, and down the street to school.

Lauren and Sally had been late so many times, it was just routine to go straight to the office. As they entered, the principal or the mayor, had his smiling face on. Then he saw who it was and switched over to his sad/annoyed face. He pointed to the late slips, and they filled them out. The mayor signed them, and they headed off to their lockers. "Why are we always late just cause of that, that stupid doctor?" Lauren questioned,"I'm so tired of telling that crappy math teacher, Mrs. Lockwart, the same old excuses. Just then the bell rang, and a huge crowd of students spilled out of classrooms all over. Sally started looking everywhere for a tall skinny figure in the crowd. Fuck where is he? Sally thought . Oh well, maybe I'll see him in art class later today. Lauren slammed her locker shut, and saluted Sally. "See ya later, Sal!". She called over the crowd. A few minutes later, Sally closed hers, and started through the crowd to get to class.

Later that day….

Sally had been waiting for Art class all day! Jack was in that class, and you got to pick seats. To her dismay, when she arrived, Jack was already seated at a full table. He was between a corpse boy named Victor. On the other side he was talking to a girl with purplish-black hair. "Who is that girl?" Sally whispered to herself. "That's Emily, Jack's Canadian cousin." Lauren said behind Sally. "She just transferred here, he must just be helping her around with her classes, Sal, relax," Lauren said with a reassuring smile. Sally looked over at Jack again, and he noticed her and smiled. Sally blushed bright red, which looked strange against her blue-green skin. Lauren and Sally found seats near the twin witches, Hilda and Gretchen. After they started their projects, the witches babbled about their upcoming party. Sally kept peeking glances over at Jack while doodling on a piece of paper. When she looked down, at her paper, all she had drawn was a heart with 'Sally + Jack' in the middle. Sally also noticed Lauren giving Victor a dreamy look. Sally gave that same look to Jack. Sally giggled at Lauren's dreamy gaze and it brought her back to her project. Lauren lightly kicked Sally's leg.

At the end of the day, Sally and Lauren headed out the door to the lockers. Just then, the witches walked in front of them. "Would you two like to come to our party, Friday?" they asked in unison. Sally and Lauren shot each other "let's piss Finkelstein off" looks, and smiled. "Sure, we'll go to your party," they both said at the same time.
