I'm updating quickly, go me. (:
I don't own Twilight.
I yawned as I closed the door to my car. My eyes were fixed on the ground as I made my way to my homeroom. There was no one else in the parking lot; I was late as usual. This was just going to be a typical day. Go to school, get yelled at, go to Brian and I's spot and get high, go home and do homework. But I couldn't shake this feeling as I slammed my locker door shut. I felt like I had something to look forward too. Like something exciting was actually going to happen today. Shaking my head, I convinced myself that I was still blazed from yesterday.
"Ms. Aria, I assumed you know you have detention again this afternoon, you know the room," Mr. Abey scolded me as I walked past him. I merely just nodded, not really in the mood to be sarcastic. He seemed shocked by this but went ahead with today's lecture; slopes. How fun. Unwillingly, I tried to focus on the lesson and do the worksheets but I just ended up doodling on my paper.
My worst class was next, Chemistry. My opinion of the subject was it was impossible and screw it. Chemistry was the only class I had lower than a B in. A few minutes into class I stared blankly at the board. PV = nRT? What the hell is that? I copied down the foreign language Mrs. Lopez had written in my notebook. It was hopeless, I couldn't do chemistry! I blew my bangs out my face in frustration. My eyes scanned the class; it seemed I wasn't the only one having trouble with it. I looked back down at my notebook again, hoping that the answer would just come to me. Nope.
I heard the door open, "Ah, Mr. Call and Mr. Black, nice of you to finally show up. I hope you have a reason for missing the past two and a half weeks?" I looked up to see two very large men. They looked like they were in their twenties but they were juniors in high school. They couldn't be over 18. They both had the same russet brown skin like everyone else at this school – besides me. One had chin length black hair and the other had short, shaggy black hair that covered his eyes. Everyone in class was staring at them so I decided to look away. I still listened to their conversation though.
"We had an emergency back home," A smooth voice said. "We're sorry Mrs. Lopez."
Mrs. Lopez was silent as if she was debating whether or not to ask more questions or just let it slide, "Okay well Mr. Black we had a new student so your new seat is behind your old one. Copy down the notes from the board and the rest of the notes from someone else, we have a test next week." I assumed the two guys nodded because it was silent besides the shuffling of feet towards desks.
It hit me then. Mrs. Lopez mentioned a new kid, I was the new kid. That means I had to sit next to someone. I had been so relieved when I found out I didn't have to sit next to anyone in this class. I kept my gaze locked on the paper in front of me.
The chair next to me scooted out and I felt a warm presence. I refused to look up but I heard a cough from next to me, "Can I copy your notes?" A smooth voice asked. I didn't say anything but slide my notebook over to him, changing my gaze from the table to the board. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him quickly writing down the notes but also solving the problems that I had erased holes through my paper trying to do.
My head turned fully towards his work, "How are you doing that?"
He seemed surprised that I had talked to him, "Uh, it's kind of easy. P stands for pressure, V for volume, R is a constant and T is temperature. You just plug stuff in." Say what? I looked up at him to see big black eyes staring back at me. I felt a sudden pull towards him. It was like something just clicked inside my brain. I have only ever had a few crushes in my life but this felt more. I had only seen him for two complete seconds and I already had a complete school girl crush on him. I still must be high.
He started back at me and his slack jaw turned into a dazzling grin, showing off perfect white teeth, "Hi, I'm Embry,"
"Aria," I bit my lip, feeling a twist in my stomach.
"So do you maybe want some help? I could tutor you after school—" He asked, hopeful.
The annoying ring of the bell interrupted, "Sorry, I have detention. Maybe some other time," His eyebrows furrowed into a confused expression. I packed up my things, leaving my notebook with him so he could copy the rest of the notes and headed to lunch wondering what just happened.
I sat down at my normal table and pulled out my iPod and book. I was just about to block out the whole world when Brian walked over. "Hey, I heard you got detention. That kind of works perfectly because I have to be somewhere after school today," I nodded and waved as he left. I glanced to my right to see Embry Call staring at me from a different table where four other tall boys sat with him.
My feet pounded against the pavement. Fuck Mr. Abey. I just spent three extra hours in detention because I was two minutes late to detention. Two minutes! It's nothing compared to the twenty minutes late I usually am to class. He was being ridiculous. It was now six o'clock as I clutched my bag. I barely registered the fact that the hard pavement turned into dirt and leaves. I didn't even wait until I got to the log to take out the small glass tube. I stuffed a little of the earthy smelling grass into the bowl. I took out my lighter from my back pocket and lit it up. Inhaling, I held in the smoke for ten seconds before letting out a huge puff of smoke. I immediately felt better.
I was never one to smoke drugs. I always felt it was stupid. Why waste time doing something completely idiotic? That was until I tried it once back home with my cousin. It was the most fun I've ever had in a while. I only did it that once until I came here. Brian offered me some and I took it. Yeah, I thought I was being a complete dumbass for doing it.
After a couple hours of returning back to normal, I walked home to take a shower and start on some chemistry homework.
Review please. Next chapter might be in Embry's POV. Would you want that? Or should I keep it in Aria's?
