The beeping of my alarm clock always brings me into a mood. I swear the person who made that sound lived in his mother's basement and hated the world. So just to make everyone else suffer he invented the ring for the alarm clock. I'm gonna burn his basement. The ringing still continued, I rolled over onto my stomach and slammed the snooze button. And slowly opened my eyes.
"Oh wow, too bright, too bright," I said to myself as I grabbed my pillow and flung it over my eyes. The sun was finally shining and I'm hiding what's the matter with me!
I fling my comforter off and jump up, the pillow still shielding my eyes. When my I tripped over the only box left in my room, I felt my self falling forward.
"Not good!" I squealed. I landed with a thud, my face cushioned by my pillow. I really feel felt like a retard. I even felt the blood rushing up to my cheeks. This is stupid I'm in my room, by my self, and I feel embarrassed. I quickly jumped up throwing my pillow onto my bed. I looked at the alarm clock it read 6:30am. Ok good I still have half an hour till breakfast. I walked over to my closet and grabbed my uniform, along with my towel and shampoos. And headed toward the bathrooms.
I hummed a silly little tune that I made up in my head. When I walked in I almost stepped on some glass, which looked like it use to be a light bulb. I shrugged my shoulders and stripped off my pj pants and tank top and hopped into the shower. The water was cold, but that was okay I would have just fallen back asleep if it were hot. I stepped out of the shower and realized I forgot got my shirt. I gathered up my remaining things and quickly poked my head out of the girls bathroom doing a quick scan of the surrounding area, looking to see if anyone was there. There wasn't so I quickly walked down the hall. Praying no one would see me. I jinxed myself. I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I froze in mid step, and slowly turned around.
"Chase!" my voice squeaked. The blood rushed to my face.
"Uh, you dropped this," he said as he held up my school id. I snatched it away from him.
"Thank you," I said quickly and walked back to my room. I slammed the door and braced myself against the door. Trying to regulate my breathing, I threw everything onto the bed. When my id fell on to the floor, I didn't remember bringing it to the bathroom. Actually I never remember bringing my passport anywhere. I glanced at the door and then back at the id. The last time I saw it, it was in my wallet.
"Huh," I said as I clicked my tongue. "That's weird." I set it back down on my bed and got dressed. I found my shirt at the back of my closet. After I was ready to face the world I headed to the stairs. My stomach was on the verge of making an angry noise. I was in the stair well when Chase came and walked beside me.
"Hi Leila," he gave me a friendly wave.
"Oh hey, hey!" I said as I came out of my train of thought. That was about him, weird.
"So how have you been since I last saw you?" he asked. Okay he was trying to start a conversation I could deal with that. I was still a little weirded out about my towel incident and my school id.
"I've been good, thanks to you I have my school id back, I didn't even realize it was missing, so thank you," I said. I looked at the double doors in front of me, when I could have sworn they started to shrink. I tried not to freak out; I didn't want to look like a complete idiot if my eyes were playing tricks on me. But we both reached the door at the same time and tried to fit through it at the same time and ended up getting squashed. I was getting kind of annoyed. I turned side ways as Chase did the same thing but before we could touch again I slipped through the door. I wasn't sure if this was an accident anymore. And it was starting to get kind of creepy.
"That door way seems smaller than usual," I forced a laugh out of my lungs to try and hide my uneasiness. I started to walk towards the cafeteria.
"Uh hey Leila…could I ask you a question?" Chase asked me. I nodded my head.
"Well I was wondering if it was true that you were seeing Reid?"
"Yeah it's true," I replied. Why would he even care? I saw his smile fade away in am instant. And was replaced with a blank look on his face, it confused me to no end and it seemed to be getting to hot in here.
"Well…umm I'll see you in class I guess," I said as I departed and rushed to go find Reid and the rest of the gang.
I looked over my shoulder to see if Chase was still there when I knocked into some one.
"Do you mind!?" the flower killer screeched. I turned and looked at her.
"Sorry," I said. Hey it was an accident chill out! What, did she need to create a scene out of everything.
"So," she said as she smacked her lips, trying to look hot. I tried not to gag in the process. "Word is that you and Reid are going out…but who listens to rumors right," she did her fake little laugh. "I mean you couldn't even get a date in middle school, and now your dating Reid, big improvement, seeing how he just wants to get in your pants like he does every other girl," Kira seemed satisfied with her advice to me. I just rolled my eyes.
"It's funny how when I left you couldn't either, but as I remember correctly Reid hasn't touched another girl since we started dating and what about you," I tapped my finger on my chin, classic Reid move. "Dating Aaron are we, hmm…big improvement, seems to me he's thinking of replacing you," I said as I walked around her and gave her a smirk.
"And how would you know something like that?" she questioned me getting all prissy.
"I know these kinds of things," I laughed as I pointed at a table. Kira turned around to see Aaron making out with one of the cheerleaders. "See you at practice!" I yelled just to get underneath her skin some more as she stormed over to Aaron and the poor blind girl he was making out with. At least I hope she was blind, because Aaron is not that pretty on the eyes. I walked over to a table in the middle of the cafeteria and sat down by Sara. The guys weren't in sight.
"Hey," I said. Sara stopped reading her text book and looked up at me.
"Hey, how was last night?" she asked. I shrugged my shoulders.
"Could have been worse I suppose," I sighed.
"Yeah, that must have been awkward," Sara placed her book mark into her book, and slid it to the side.
"Well I haven't really seen Caleb yet, only Reid has and they sort of got into a fight," I replied resting my cheek in one hand, as my elbow was resting on the table. I haven't told Sara about the boys "special powers" because the last place I want to be is in the asylum.
"Oh," she said as she folded her hands. I glanced down at them, they were tight and she looked nervous.
"Sara…is everything alright," I asked. Sara looked up at me with pleading eyes. I gave her a confused look. Why was she pleading?
"Well…see…I-I like Caleb-but after the whole Reid thing I didn't want to tell you because I was afraid you would get mad and he even asked me to dinner but I didn't know what to say," she said at super speed. I stared at her for a moment before I started to laugh. She looked at me as if I had just sprouted horns and a tail.
"What's? What's so funny?" she asked.
"Oh Sara, I really don't care if you like Caleb, in fact I'm happy for you and I'm sorry if I made you suffer from my little spat with Caleb even if I haven't seen him yet," I said as I hugged her. I felt kind of sorry for putting this on her then again it was good to hear that she cared about my feelings toward Caleb. "I'm sorry I laughed at you, but you gave me some comic relief," I said. "And make sure Caleb takes you some place nice."
Sara just gave me a big smile and hugged me again.
"Oh thank you!" she squealed. Just then the guys and Kate started to show up. Pogue sat on my left and Tyler on my right. While Caleb chose to sit by Sara (big surprise there) and Kate across from Pogue, I didn't see Reid come in yet so I figured he must have slept in late. When some one squeezed in between Tyler and I.
"Hey," Tyler whined. "Oh come on Reid, you get to make out with her why can't I just sit by her." I shot Tyler a death glare which would have killed a bug. But hey I'm working on it. Reid shoved Tyler all the way off the bench this time, and got more comfortable next to me.
"Tyler I hate to break it to you but boyfriends come before guy friends, sorry," Reid said as he gave Tyler a sarcastic shrug of his shoulders. Tyler got up and glared at him as he made his way over to sit across from Reid.
"Lee here is some breakfast," Reid said as he slid the tray full of food over to me. There was a bagel, banana, orange juice and some yogurt. My usual breakfast, I didn't even know that Reid knew what I ate for breakfast. I turned and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
"Thanks," I said as I had a spoonful of yogurt. "What are you going to eat?" I asked as I swallowed.
"I had some toast…and eggs, stop looking at me like that," Reid said. Was he trying to lose weight? "I eat a lot a lunch and dinner," he said trying to defend him self. He was doing it again. "Doing what?" Reid smirked at me. I gave him a small punch to the shoulder. He rubbed it like I had actually tried to hurt him. I would end up breaking my hand if I tried to really punch him.
"This is so cute!" Kate squealed. Bringing us out of our own little Reid and Leila world, I looked around to see Kate staring at us as if we had just done something worth while. Sara just smiled at us and Tyler rolled his eyes. Pogue was looking at Kate and Caleb was starting to get on my nerves with this whole silent treatment. I had just finished my breakfast and thrown my tray away when the bell rang. The first class of the day and the first day of the new school year. Yea! I'm jumping for joy. Not.
