I'm basing their school off my high school. It's not really a "high school" but a "college preparatory school." We have a student lounge, free periods, plus we're allowed to use laptops! Except that it's all in a WAY smaller campus and it's only one main building. (I'm currently at summer school there so almost half of the whole story is written there)The downside is, that like a college, you have to pay tuition. (But I'm not going to include that in the story. But everything else will be.)
"I like grapes." Barry started his hand in a plastic bag with some grapes.
"Oh, can I have one?" Kara asked, already reaching for the bag.
Barry nodded, "Do you want one Ollie? Can I call you Ollie? If not it's okay! I can still call you Oliver!" A red tone dusting over his cheeks.
Oliver smiled, "Sure, the only person who called me that was my sister. I mean, she's not dead! It's just that she grew out of it. She's in 6th grade now." He popped a grape into his mouth.
"I have a sister too!" Kara exclaimed, "She's older than me though, she graduated last year. She's started college last week."
"What about you Barry? Do you have any siblings?" Oliver asked, biting into his sandwich he had packed the night before.
Barry scratched the back of his head. "Technically? No. I don't have biological siblings. But I have a friend who's basically my sister and her younger brother."
"Iris is really nice! Oh hey, look! We found the cafeteria!" Kara said, scanning the room for an empty table. "We can sit over there!" She pointed over to a semi-empty table.
After they had all settled into their seats, they had started to compare schedules.
"Oh I have English next period," said Barry. "Then, choir and then Latin." he scanned the paper containing his schedule.
Oliver glanced at his schedule as well, "I have English, study hall, and Latin"
Kara let out a small cheer. "I have choir, English, then Latin!"
"We all have Latin together!" Barry exclaimed just a bit too loudly, earning a few stares from other tables.
Kara giggled.
"Okay, we have about seven minutes," Oliver said once they had finished eating. "You know where the choir room is, right Kara?" the person in question nodded. "Well then, me and Barry can walk to English together then. See you in Latin, Kara."
"Okay then," Kara looked around to check if she got everything. She shrugged her backpack on, "Bye guys!" she waved and left the cafeteria.
The two boys watched her leave and then turned to look at each other. "Well, Ollie, let's go."
"It's room 402 right?"
"I mean yeah but there is no fourth floor in this building, we're on the highest floor," Oliver said, confusion lacing into his voice.
"Let's ask a teacher," Barry suggested.
"Wait, didn't Kara say something about that new wing that they added on the first floor that the students refer to as 'the fourth floor'?" Oliver asked.
"Well shi-"
"Language Bar!"
"Oh, we have a minute two get down two floors," Barry said.
"You said you were a good runner right?" Oliver asked.
"I mean yeah but I don't get what this has to do with anyth-."
"Hope you can vault over stairs." And with that Oliver Queen all but jumped down a half a flight of stairs.
"Oh my Go- know what," Barry began to run down the stairs while yelling, "Oliver! I said I was a runner, not a long jumper!"
Barry leaped into the room about two seconds before the bell rang. The teacher raised an eyebrow. "You do realize that this week you guys get an extra minute before counting you guys as tardy right?"
Barry turned his head slowly, "Oliver Queen, I'm going to kill you."
"That's fair."
"English wasn't all too interesting," Barry said.
"Oh yeah, I mean besides the fact that we have to read 6 chapters by tomorrow and write a 500 letter summary!"
"Wait, what?" Kara came up to them, out of breath.
"Uh, yeah we have homework on the first day." Barry answered.
Kara groaned.
"So how was choir?" Oliver asked.
"It was..." Kara paused, trying to regain her breath. "It was... exciting."
"Great, so if I don't show up to Latin, you'll know why."
Kara patted his back, "Good luck. It's on this floor, east wing"
"Well, now I have to find where study hall is."
"Actually, you get to go where ever you want actually. It's like a free period basically."
"Lucky." Barry grumbled. "Well, I have to go. See you guys in Latin!"
With that Barry Allen spun on his heel and started walking towards the choir room.
"Off to English I go. Bye Ollie." Kara proceed to walk off in the opposite direction that Barry was going.
Oliver was left alone in the hallway. He stayed there until the bell rang two minutes later.
Oliver didn't really know what he was supposed to do during this period. He had started to do the reading but really wasn't into it.
The book was boring. He was bored.
So he ended up going to the student lounge. He had gotten a bag of chips and a bottle of water from the vending machines and started walking around the school.
He passed a few teachers in the hallway. They really didn't seem to care that a student was just in the hall, hand in a chip bag, wandering the hall.
Guess Kara was right. Oliver thought.
Oliver had nothing else to do, so he went to the library on the second floor.
He shook the chip bag to get the last crumbs and threw away the bag. He looked at his phone's clock. 2:03. He had 27 minutes before his last class with Barry and Kara.
He entered the library. It was quiet with a few students scattered around the room. He set himself up on a chair near an outlet so he could charge his computer and his phone connected to his computer.
He started to roam around on the internet and before he knew it, a few of the students started to get up and getting ready to leave. Oliver followed their example. 2:27.
He had just managed to get out of the stairwell onto the first floor before the bell rang. He waited for the two right outside the stairwell. The Latin classroom was with the rest of the foreign
"Hi Oliver!" He turned to his left and saw the cheerful blonde waving at him.
He smiled. "Hey Kara. You ready for Latin?"
"Yeah. We just need Barry and we can go." She responded.
Just on cue, Barry came up to them, and like Kara earlier, was out of breath. "You know what Kara," he paused to catch his breath, "you were right."
Oliver raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What do you guys even do?"
The two others laughed. "We played musical chairs believe it or not." Kara responded.
"Room 318 right?" Kara asked.
"Uh, no? I have 319." Barry responded.
"Wait, what? I have 317." Oliver said.
They all groaned.
"So the office just messed up all of our schedules? And none of them were even right?"
"Apparently, at least it wasn't on a different floor,"
"So why couldn't they just put 320 on there?"
"Who even knows?"
The whole schedule thing really once did happen to me and my friends. It was in 7th grade though and the building was way smaller.
Hope you enjoyed! Let me know of any errors!
