When you wake up in the morning, and get ready for school, you follow a routine. I follow a routine. I throw on a pair of jeans, a light hoodie, and grab my back pack for the day. It's always what I do.
My routine continues with getting on the bus and going to school. Quietly listening to music by myself and giving up my seat to the elderly lady at exactly 6:43 a.m. I always do that. She'll say "Thank you Aurora," and I will smile as a response.
I've never broken this routine, and I never wanted to. I get to school at 6:54 a.m. and I walk to first period which is three doors down from the principal's office. I wave as a hello, but never say a word or look him in the eye, as he merely grunts as a response to hearing my feet walk by.
"Aurora wait a minute," Principal Wilker said. I froze, my routine has suddenly been shattered. I walk back into his office and remove my hood and head phones, to look presentable. There are two kids in his office who appear to be my age. A blonde girl, simply breath-taking. Perfectly curved body, a smile as white as snow, she would be very popular here. A boy, tall with black hair slightly spiked and long. His eyes were an icy blue that when we made eye contact I felt like daggers were hitting me so I looked away.
"This is Mister Lou Dian, and Miss Thursday Guard, siblings who are new to this school." The principal continued. I nodded unsure where we were going. "Being a top student and them being your classmates I thought you would do best to help them out." I looked at them. Thursday was smiling and Lou was smirking. I looked back at him and nodded. "Excellent! Let the tour begin!"
The three of us paced together, I didn't know how to start a conversation or even remotely connect to them on a personal level. I felt someone slink their arm around me and I began to pull away, but Thursday was at my left holding me tight.
"Aurora? Like Aurora Borealis?" Thursday asked in a compelling tone. "Yes, my parents named me after it," Was the only think I could say.
"Delicious," she responded, she pulled me closer so I could feel her curves pressed against me. "You're going to be my best friend." I stopped walking and she dragged me along like a doll.
What is even happening right now?
"Call me Day ok?" Thursday asked. I nodded. I looked over to Lou, but his icy blue stare caused me to look away. I turned too fast and lost my balance. I was falling fast and it was going to hurt.
I close my eyes and braced myself for a face plant that was going to be humiliating. After a second the fall didn't come and I opened my eyes only to find my face buried in Lou's chest. I looked up and his blue eyes were looking at me. He smiled in a way that made him seem devilish.
"Mischief is never far with you is it?"
