Treinta walked into the high school from the freezing air outside and was blasted by warmth escaping through vents in the ceiling. The day was one of the coldest they had had in years, most definitely the coldest that far into the season. She rubbed her gloved hands together and pressed them onto her face, trying to regain some feeling on her skin. She was jostled down the hallway, and waved to a few friends who passed by her on their way to homeroom. She looked at her watch.
"Seven seventeen," she said aloud to herself. She looked up and noticed she had almost passed by the hallway she needed to walk to in order to get to her locker. As she turned into the hallway, her breath started coming out in large silver puffs again.
This building is menopausal, I swear it, she thought to herself. One hallway could be seventy-five degrees, and the next hallway would be five below zero. She looked up and noticed that walking in front of her was a girl, who she recognized as Gina Trenatelli from her Psychology, class bundled up in a scarf, jacket and mittens holding a cup of Dunkin' Donuts coffee. The steam rising from the slight opening in the cup made Treinta salivate. She had had the opportunity to get coffee that morning as well, but she had decided not to drink any coffee for a week and see if she could sleep any better. Insomnia had struck her at the worst possible time.
Coffee... coffee... you want the coffee, the words ran through her mind, tempting her, teasing her. No! She said. Stay strong.
It was after this internal dialogue that she noticed that the girl was no longer in front of her. She must have already gone up the stairs. I really have to stop spacing out like this. Then she felt a huge force throw her against the wall. The girl stood in front of her, pressing into Treinta and holding one arm into her throat while waving the coffee in front of her face.
"You know you want the coffee. Drink it. DRINK THE COFFEE! DRINK THE COFFEE!" Gina yelled in Treinta's face. Gina pushed the cup up against her lips, and Treinta struggled to pull her head away. Considering that Gina had pushed her up against a concrete/brick wall, that was not a simple task. Gina tipped the cup and scalding demon liquid poured out all over Treinta's face. She spit and sputtered and tried to breathe through her nose, but the coffee was blocking all her airways.
"DRINK THE COFFEE!" Gina kept yelling in Treinta's face maniacally. Treinta then opened her eyes long enough to see Gina's face. Her green eyes were shining brightly with the eye-juice of a savage beast. Her red cheeks were puffed and glowing from the exertion and the freezing cold of the hallway. She also noticed that Gina was using both of her arms to subdue her, leaving her open. Treinta brought her leg up and kicked Gina in the stomach, pushing her back against the wall.
Gina grabbed a fistful of Treinta's hair at the last second and pulled with all her might. Treinta screamed at the shock and slapped Gina across the face. Treinta grabbed the front of Gina's shirt and took a step back and pushed Gina over her foot, tripping her in the process. Gina yelled and attempted to regain her balance, but the judo trick was too much for her. She fell back and smashed her red-haired head against the brick wall. Her eyes closed and she muttered in her unconscious state, "I will make you drink the coffee. You will drink the coffee..."
End of scene 1. Stay tuned for more. Hahaa
