"Just...a few...more...minutes…" Julia grumbled, fumbling for her alarm. When she didn't hit it, she groggily opened her eyes, and in the few moments it took to register she screamed in horror. How many times had she hit snooze? It was 8:00!
Julia sprung from bed, dressing as quickly as possible and getting ready with record breaking time. She sped down the stairs, shoving anyone and everyone out of her way. Annalise, her sister, ran up with the question of "Where are you going?" in which Julia hissed at her and continued. Her mom looked at her, concerned.
"Julia?" She asked as her eldest child ran about screaming.
"YES MOTHER?" Julia replied anxiously, "I'm going to be late!"
"It's Wednesday, Julia," her mom sighed, and Julia halted. Oh goodie. That left her with more time to stress about the homework that didn't exist.
After the appropriate time she left the vicinity of her home and made the walk to school, land of wonder. Ha. Julia hated school, and would probably avoid it altogether if she didn't need it to get anywhere in life. She had friends and all, good ones in fact.
Savanna, on the other hand, was doing something different. She slumped dejectedly against the wall, waiting for school to start. She didn't have anything to do, and that was bo-ring. Ugh. School was boring. Life was boring, she thought unhappily, glaring at the ground. Boring boring boring boring-
"Helloooooooo!" Julia popped up behind her, and Savanna yelped before laughing cautiously, even as Julia began to walk around her, in a pacing motion.
"Julia!" Savanna said, putting her head down and rubbing her eyes. Savanna shuffled her feet and breathed out a shaky laugh.
"Yes? What is it?" Julia waited, but apparently Savanna had simply said her name, and tilted her head, "Well, I finished all my homework. You?"
"I didn't," Savanna shrugged, rummaging through her binder. Elliot odd as they were, was elsewhere.
"I'm blue da ba dee da ba daa," Elliot sang, scrolling through their phone with headphones over their pierced ears.. They then ran into a wall, scrunching their nose and furrowing their eyebrows with a scowl on their face. Elliot looked around to see if anyone saw, pulling off their headphones and putting them around their neck.
"Hey, El," Noelle said, eyes still on her sketchbook, "You should watch out for walls."
"It wasn't my fault, I was looking at the news!" Elliot squinted, "or Twitter, I guess."
Noelle looked up from her sketchbook. "Twitter is not the news, Elliot."
The blonde glared and elbowed the artist. "Whatever."
There was the sudden shriek of the bell, and Elliot strolled to History, not caring if they were late Noelle got up, seeming tired, and gathered her things.
"Hey!" Julia rammed into her, and Noelle skitted away frantically, avoiding the all too energetic girl that constantly tried to befriend her. Likely just so she would draw her things.
"No nonononogoaway," Noelle shoved her away. Julia boomeranged back to the artist. Noelle looked at Julia with fear in her eyes. "Hey.."
The freckled girl did a 360 and walked down the halls to her Literature class, not saying goodbye to the hyperactive girl. Noelle quite liked Literature. Her teacher was a respectable woman and didn't take shit from anyone. Probably the best part was one of her close friends, Marinette. Marinette was a little more extroverted than Noelle, which made their friendship even better.
"Hey! Noelle!" her navy-haired friend said, tapping the table beside her frantically. "I've come up with some new designs that I want you to see!" Noelle chuckled at her friend's behavior and sat down beside her.
As class went on, Noelle couldn't but let her eyes wander around the classroom. She noticed some new posters that her teacher had put-cheesy literature puns-and how the pencil sharpener hadn't been emptied. She jumped out of her daydream as she heard a book slam on the desk and someone's chair being scooted across the tile floor, aggressively. Noelle looked over to see Benjamin "Benji" Walker fuming and glaring at his. He muttered a few things under his breath that she couldn't quite catch.
Benji raised his voice a little louder at the request of his teacher. "I don't fucking get it. I don't understand one goddamn thing at this godforsaken school." He lifted his head. "I have tried and tried and there's nothing that makes any fucking sense!"
Noelle raised her eyebrow and sat up, interested in where this was going. Benji spoke up once again. "What's the point of studying a bunch of people who are already fucking dead! We should be focusing on the future instead abiding on the past!" The teacher eyed the boy and told him to leave the room. He complied and packed up his stuff. Benji left the room with a scowl on his face and his essay in his clenched fist.
Noelle looked over at Marinette. Her friend looked troubled, with her eyes wide and hand on her. She had these ladybug-esque earrings that she never took off. At least from when she first received them from somebody. Noelle never bothered to ask from whom.
The brunette drew her eyes away from her friend and looked at the clock. 10 minutes. 'Gross' she thought to herself.
"Miss! May I- uh-I-um go-o to the bathroom!" Marinette stuttered suddenly, shooting her hand up. Noelle looked back to Marinette, you had a weird sorta smile on her face. The one she uses when she talks about her earrings. 'Odd' Noelle thought.
The Literature instructor said yes and Marinette raced out of the room. As Noelle watched her friend go, she saw Adrien Agreste, the talk of the school, run up beside her and took off together.
