1. Everytime
It was three a.m. when you woke me up and we jumped in the car and drove as far as we could go, just to get away...
Nia (Knee-ah) was pulling at her hair in frustration at the roots, the burgandy streaked dark brown hair falling over her hands in a short waterfall. A sharp sigh escaped her lips as she stared down at her textbook, nothing soaking in. This wasn't where she wanted to be, this wasn't what she wanted to be doing. She wanted to be rollerblading outside in the courtyard of her prestigious high school, Eden Hall Acadamy. Rollerblading was her security blanket whenever something bad happened to her, and that day was not the best day that she'd had in her high school career. She heaved another sigh before grabbing her rollerblades and ipod and leaving her dorm room to skate around the courtyard and reflect on the day.
She tore down the halls like a bat out of Hell, jumping down the stairwell three stairs at a time, making people stare at her as she went by. 'If only I had a friend here...' Nia was only sent to Eden Hall at the beginning of this year by her rich step-dad, and the transfer at the beginning of her senior year in high school wasn't easy for her. The teachers never let up on the homework that the students got, but she got it all done with time to spare, usually.
When she got down to the courtyard, she pulled her chin-length hair into a messy ponytail, and cuffed her low rider pants legs up so she could pull her rollerblades on after removing her purple high-top chucks. After she rolled her pants legs back down and stood up on her blades, she readjusted her black tank top that ended right at her belly button revealing a tattoo of a moon with a pink and purple night cap on her right hip bone and a dragon with tribal symbols, and the Chinese symbol for "wolf" around the tail, on the small of her back. There was a Fairie holding a colorguard flag on her left forearm, being covered by an armguard, and a mushroom on the underside of her right wrist covered by her studded pink leather wrist band. The angel tattoo on her right bisep was something that was important to her, it had the initials of both of her grandfathers, her dad, and one of her friends on the angel's robe. She put her ipod on its arm band on her left arm and The Used blared out of her headphones. She kissed her left index and middle fingers and touched them to the angel before starting to skate.
...We talked about our lives until the sun came up now I'm thinkin' 'bout how I wish I could go back, just for one more day, one more day with you...
Nia took a deep breath as she thought about the day's events. She had failed an important test in her Advanced Placement US History class that morning, she didn't make the colorguard even though she didn't mess up at all, but the biggest shock had come at luch. She had been sitting outside under a shade tree in the courtyard eating by herself when she recieved a text message from her boyfriend saying that he had found someone else. He couldn't even say it over the phone or wait until she went back home to break up with her. He had to do it on a stupid text message. After everything that the two of them had been through and everything that she had done for him, he had the balls to break up with her.
Distracted from her skating, Nia fell on her butt. She pulled her knees up to her chin and started rocking back and forth as she was crying, letting out all of her emotions. It figured that ever since her mom had married her rich step-dad, everything in her life would go downhill. She hadn't heard from any of her friends since school started, she was starting to fail, her mother didn't want her to come home, and now Bryce broke up with her just when she had thought that nothing else could go wrong in her life.
A boy passing by happened to notice Nia on the ground crying, so he went over to see if there was anything that he could do to help.
"Uh...are you alright? Is there anything that I can do to help?" he asked awkwardly. She looked up at him with her hazel-green eyes and laughed bitterly.
"What can you do?! Unless you can travel through time and make it so my life doesn't suck, what can you do?!" she demanded getting up and grabbing her chucks and skating to the elevator in her near by dorm building, not listening when he called something back out to her.
...Everytime I see your face, everytime you look my way, it's like it all falls into place, everything feels right. Ever since you walked away and left my life in disaray, all I want is one more day. It's all I need is one more day with you...
