Shermer High school

Shermer, Illinois

January 2014

The bell, signaling the beginning of 3rd period rings, but Sadie's not sitting in AP Chemistry where she's supposed to be. Instead, she's leaning against the cold concrete wall behind the school building. She's never skipped a class in her life and she knows she's really stupid for doing it now, but she can't help it. She can't help the fact that she's crazy about Asher Cathcart, Shermer High's residential bad boy. When he suggested that they ditch 3rd period and go make-out somewhere instead, she didn't hesitate. And now she's waiting in the freezing cold for Asher to show up.

'Five more minutes," she tells herself. "Just five more minutes." She hugs her coat a little tighter around herself. She looks up at the grey sky and smiles a little. She doesn't know why, but she's always loved days like this, cloudy and on the verge of rain or snow.

She's just about to make her way back inside the building after glancing at the time on her phone, when she sees him walking towards her. Sadie exhales a small sigh of relief and smiles at him. Asher smiles back as he takes a drag of the cigarette he has in his hand.

"I was starting to think you weren't going to show."

"Sorry, gorgeous. I had to make a pit stop at my locker." He winks at her as he grabs onto her waist. He drops what's left of his cigarette and it extinguishes as soon as it hits the cold ground. She puts her arms around his neck and brings him closer to her. So close, that she can feel his warm breath on her cheek.

"Oh, my god you're gorgeous," he says right before he touches his lips to hers. She loves this. She loves the feeling of him all around her, of his hands entangling themselves in her soft auburn hair. They're so wrapped up in each other they forget about the cold. They don't even notice the snow start to fall all around them.

Sadie pulls away from Asher a while later, causing an agitated groan to escape his lips.

"Look how beautiful it is," she says, keeping her eyes on the snow covered football field. "When did it even start snowing?"

"I don't know," Asher answers, trying to continue where they left off.

"It's beautiful," Sadie repeats.

Asher laughs. "Sadie, you act like you've never seen snow before."

"I just think it looks really pretty today."

"But not as pretty as you," Asher tells her, a playful undertone to his voice.

"Shut up." Sadie laughs, pushing him away. It takes her by surprise when Asher picks her up by the waist and twirls her in the air. She squeals in delight and holds on tightly to his arms.

Whenever they were together nothing else mattered to them. It was just the two of them. So, it was no surprise that they weren't conscious of the fact that someone had spotted them and was headed their way.

"Hey, you two, aren't you supposed to be in class?"

Asher freezes mid-twirl, Sadie still in his arms. She feels the world come to a complete stop. She can't move. Can't breath. And she thinks she might throw up.

"Principal's office!" Mrs. Miller, the girls phys ed teacher yells at them.

"Mrs. Miller, I'm sure there's another-"

"Now!" Mrs. Miller points a finger in the direction of the office.

Asher slowly puts Sadie back on the ground as he whispers in her ear, "Everything is going to be okay."

She feels like she's going to die as they make their way to the office. Her Footsteps echoing loudly through the hallways.

"Principal Bender," Mrs. Miller says, poking her head into his office. I have two students here who thought it would be a brilliant idea to skip third period and make-out behind the school instead."

"Thank you Mrs. Miller, I'll take it from here." He's sitting at his desk, shuffling a stack of paper and setting it aside. She's almost too afraid to look at him as she enters his office. The palms of her hands are sweating and her heart's beating out of control.

"Take a seat," he says, gesturing to the two chairs facing his desk. "So, having a little make-out sesh instead of attending class?"

"With all due respect Principal Bender, could you blame me?" Asher asks, pointing to Sadie. Principal Bender's nostrils flare, and Sadie knows he's pissed.

"Mr. Cathcart you just earned yourself a month's worth of Saturday detention. Now get the hell out of my office." Asher hesitates, looking over at Sadie. "What, you need her permission to leave?"

"Just go," Sadie whispers.

As soon as Asher leaves the office, Principal Bender gets up from his desk and shuts the door. As he walks slowly back to his desk, Sadie seriously thinks she's going to have a heart-attack. She takes a chance and looks up at his face.

"Sadie Bender, what the hell were you thinking?" She flinches at his words and it takes everything in her not to start crying.

"Dad, please let me explain."
