Today was okay.. I guess. I say I'll be out of that..that..Dystopia... in no time. The principle is a total geek brain who probably only cares about himself. What a loserville. But that kid..um..what was his name? Geez I'm so bad with names. Ton...Mon...Ron...uh..oh yeah...John! Yeah John, I think it's John...Oh well. Anyways he seemed nice...for a ginger. He showed me around the school and everything. The only problem I have against him is that he seems too..good and neat. I suppose I'll have to fix that.
"Lights out," Gloria commanded, turning Lucy's light off and leaving her in the dark.
"Thanks for the warning," Lucy called out.
"Just get to bed," Gloria said.
"I am in bed," Lucy explained. "Be more specific you old hag!"
Anyway I'll have to change Mr. Methodical into Mr. Bad Ass! Well not entirely, I don't think anyone could take him seriously. With those freckles he has on his face and those large ears, that I'm pretty sure have their own gravitational pole. He's lucky to have a friend like me. You know someone who cares.
"Go to sleep Lucille," an orphan girl instructed.
"Shut up Becky! No one likes you," Lucy said. "And my name is Lucy."
"Well my name isn't Becky, Lucile, it's Jean you dumb butt!"
Lucy fluffed her pillow and lied down. "Whatever."
The next morning it was the same as the day before. Lucy was caught up in her thoughts and Gloria had to drag her to the van. Then they bickered on the drive to her school, until they got to school and Gloria drove away leaving Lucy just standing there staring into space.
"Lucy," the ginger boy waved his hands for her to see him. "Hey!" He walked up towards Lucy.
"Oh hey Johnny," Lucy said blankly as she walked towards the school, with him walking closely behind.
"Well act..actually it's Donny, but it's okay if you call me that..I guess.."
"Um..okay," she agreed not really paying attention.
"Do you want to walk together to home room," Donny offered.
"I mean...sure...wait," Lucy stopped, making Donny bump into her.
"Sorry"
"Have you ever ditched school before?" She asked with a bright grin on her face.
"Once when my dad and I went to the worlds biggest Bueno Nacho - Wait a minute. Why?"
"Oh no reason," she replied, still having that grin on her face.
"Lucy," he called out suspiciously. "What are you thinking?"
"Just come on," she said taking his arm and leading him away from the school.
"What are you doing Lucy," he asked. They heard the bell ring. "Now were late. We better go inside before were even more late."
"Come on you big baby," she said pulling his arm more.
"Where..where are we going," Donny asked, looking back at their school. "Lucy! I don't know about this!"
"Just relax kid," Lucy told him. "We'll be fine..unless.."
"Unless?"
"Unless a bunch of gang members come and beat us up."
"What!"
"I was just kidding," she announced. "Geez you worry about everything, don't you?"
"Where are we going," he asked again.
"I don't know," she said with a smile. "We can go anywhere."
"Anywhere?"
"Yep," Lucy nodded. "..Oh.. I know this place up ahead that serves great donuts." They started running until they got to the donut place.
"Won't..won't they know...were skipping school?"
"Keep that guilty face up," Lucy explained, "Then yes they will know. Just try to act like we belong and if anyone asks any questions then let me do the talking." Donny nodded in agreement. They walked into the store and there noses were instantly filled with the delicious scent of donuts.
"Hey," the cashier clerk noticed them. "Shouldn't you two be in school?"
"We would sir," Lucy explained. "But there was a big explosion this morning so they let the survivors go home."
"What," the man said shocked. "I didn't hear about this on the news."
"It just happened sir," Lucy told him. "The news crew isn't even there yet."
"Well thank goodness you two are okay," he said welcoming them. "Come in. I'm sorry I fussed."
"It's okay sir, you didn't know." They heard someone chuckling behind a shelf full of chips. The kids turned around but the person hid. Donny looked at Lucy and she just shrugged and started walking towards the donuts. "Mmm," she licked her lips.
"Lucy," Donny whispered. "How are we going to pay for this? I didn't bring any money."
"Don't worry.." she whispered back. "Its..uh..free donut day.." They heard another chuckle. Who was that? "Just put some donuts into my backpack," he began to do so, cautiously. "..But don't look suspicious...we don't want to get in trouble..for something that is okay and..uh not illegal at all." She was lying through her teeth. Donny continued to put donuts in her backpack, trying not to look suspicious. "Okay that's enough..now lets just walk around for a minute so he doesn't suspect..I mean lets just look around." They looked around for a while then walked out.
"Be safe kids," the clerk told them. What a ninny. The kids smiled and waved goodbye then left.
"Come on," she said. "I know a great place to eat these." They ran until they got underneath a bridge. Lucy sat down and patted the ground beside her, for him to join her. Cars were driving above them, honking their horns and pulling there breaks. He sat next to her as she took her backpack of her back and began to pull out the donuts.
"Too bad it wasn't free drink day also," Donny said, taking a bite of his donut. "I'm parched."
"..yeah..too bad.." she faked a smile. They finished there donuts.
"So what do we do now?" Donny asked. Lucy thought for a moment.
"Is there a mall around here?"
"Yeah just a couple of miles North. Why do you -" She got a smile on her face. "Oh no! Why do I open my big mouth?"
"Come on," she said, pulling him up off the ground.
