I sigh, dashing into the school ten minutes late. My boots click on the tiled floor, the chains clinking together loudly. The messenger bag slung over my shoulder slips, and I adjust it as I run. My locker comes into view, and I skid to a halt in front of it. Hopefully no one notices how late I am.
"Amelia, you're late. What happened?" Upon hearing the british accent, I turn to see Alice walking towards me. Her blonde hair is done up in pigtails, which are secured by skull ribbons.
I smile at her, knowing that the pastel-coloured floor-length skirt and soft sweater will be replaced with ripped galaxy leggings under a black mini skirt and a torn band tee once school lets out. I should know; my punk phase was brought on by hanging around her and Arthur, her older brother. Her forest green eyes stare at me coldly, and a goofy grin finds its way onto my face.
"Alfred didn't wake me up, so I overslept. Am I in trouble?" My best friend sighs heavily, pinching the bridge of her nose.
"No, because I was late as well. My brother also left me at home, so I guess we can kill them together." We both smile, and Alice opens my locker while I grab books out of my bag. Once I have everything I need, my bag is shoved into the bottom of the metal cubby and the door is slammed.
We speed-walk to class together, since we both have History first hour. The teacher has her back to the class, which makes it easy to sneak in. I slide into my seat just as she turns around, and her ice blue eyes lock with my sapphire ones. I smile charmingly, causing the class to chuckle. Alice lets her head hit the desk, tearing the attention away from me.
"I should have known you would be a trouble maker, Ms. Jones. You're just like your brother. Ms. Kirkland, I expected more from you. You're usually such a good student." I share a glance with the closet punk, and we both crack a smile. Class carries on as normal, with me passing notes while Alice focuses on what the teacher is saying.
Towards the end of the hour, a slip of paper finds its way onto my desk from behind me. I glance over my shoulder, but there's no one in the seat behind me. Confused, I unfold the note. A picture falls out, and I pick it up and examine it. The photo is of me and Alice sitting on a bench eating ice cream, laughing about something. I scan the note, now thoroughly freaked out.
I want you two to meet me behind the school today at lunch. Nothing personal, just business.
"What the hell?" I mumble, causing a few people to glance at me worriedly. Folding the note back up, I toss it onto Alice's desk. She reads it without missing a single word the teacher is saying, but her pencil freezes when she finishes it. She scribbles on a blank sheet of paper and slides it to me.
Who is this from?
I have no idea. I fold it up and toss it back once my response was written.
Are we going?
Of course we're going! Someone directly challenged us, so we have to.
Bloody hell, Amelia…
I'll text Alfie and see if he knows anything. Do you want me to ask if he'll come with us?
Yes please.
I chuckle at my friend's reaction, causing the teacher to once again look at us. I whip out my phone when she turns away, snapping a picture of the mysterious note and sending it to Alfie, my older brother. His reply is almost immediate, making me smile.
Alfie: Who the hell is threatening my baby sister?!
Me: Calm yourself, bro. It's just a note. Alice was wondering if you would come with us.
Alfie: You aren't seriously going, are you?
Me: Yeah. Yeah we are. You comin' or not, bastard?
Alfie: I guess I have no choice. Meet me by the doors as soon as you get to the cafeteria. See ya, bitch. :)
((Hey guys! This is my first long story (on here at least) so please send me reviews to tell me what you think. For those that don't know, Amelia is Fem! America and Alice is Fem! England. Sorry, but characters will be OOC. I will try to update every other day, but please be patient with me! Catch you in the next update!))
((P.S I just fixed things, so please don't get mad! I also know that I have been MIA for a while, but again, please don't get mad!))
