"Hey ya'll! What's up!" exclaimed Terra. A huge smile appeared on her face as she cocked her head to the side. Raven shuddered at the sudden helping of hyper. She and Terra had never really seen eye to eye.
"The sky, I suppose," answered Kori innocently. Richard grinned and hugged the redhead. Terra shook her head. Soon, everyone was talking about school and work. Each had responsibilities. Gar worked at a pet shop, while Raven served coffee at a local café. Kori worked at a day care and volunteered at the hospital every Friday. Richard and Victor were employed at a garage and Bee sold flowers at a shop on the corner. Tristan and Jennifer worked at the movie theater and Roy and Terra sold fast food at McSquiggly's.
Plus, they had other obligations at school, as many teens do. Gar was on the soccer team, Tristan was on the swim team, Roy was on the track team, Victor was football captain and Richard was the co-captain of the basketball team. The girls had tasks as well. Kori was a cheerleader, Bee was drill captain, Raven was on the debate team, Terra was the track team manager and Jennifer was student council president.
Bee noticed that Victor was oddly quiet during lunch. She placed a gentle hand on his knee. He looked up and smiled half-heartedly. Concern filled the girl's eyes. The feeling was shaken off temporarily once she resolved to question him after school.
The bell screeched and a mob of students formed at the entrance of each hallway. Jennifer sighed. She hated traveling from class to class, risking her life in the halls every 50 minutes. She turned to say goodbye to Tristan only to find that he had left already. Another sigh escaped her lips. Their relationship was out of sizzle. She knew it was worthless to hang on to what little spark they had left, but she couldn't bring herself to give up. Jennifer walked quickly through the sea of students, squishing herself through the tiny gaps between bodies. Before she knew what had happened, she was on the ground. A small hand was shoved in her face.
Jennifer pushed the hand out of her view and got up. A boy with light brown hair, a yellow shirt and red pants was rubbing the back of his neck in front of her. "Sorry about that… My name is Wally! Nice to meet 'ya! Bye!" he said quickly before taking off. Jennifer arched her eyebrow to no one in particular before braving the halls once more.
"Beautiful poem, Raven," said Mrs. Day, the English teacher. Raven nodded her head in response. She wasn't exactly a social person.
Gar poked his head in front of her to read the poem. An irritated expression spread across the girl's face. "Believe it or not, I prefer not staring at the back of your head," she told her boyfriend in a calm voice. He leaned back into his own chair and smiled sheepishly. She rolled her eyes. Garfield had to be the most annoying person she had ever known. Yet, she couldn't help loving him.
"Please get started on your group projects," came Mrs. Day's voice over the shuffling of papers and murmers of gossip.
"I was thinking about our project. Do you think we could-"
"No, Gar. We can't add a comedy act…" she interrupted, knowing all to well what the boy was about to say. He groaned. Raven smirked as she got her binder out of her backpack.
Terra walked along happily to the office. She had office duty this period. Terra loved office duty. Basically, she saw it as a whole class worth of filing papers. In other words, barely any thinking involved. Yes, this is what she considered a free period.
Another reason, however, that she liked office duty was that the principal, Mr. Wilson, was in the office. Terra had a crush on the man. It was a dark secret that she desperately wanted gone, but the thought always fluttered across her mind. Little did she know, Mr. Wilson wasn't exactly the nicest person in the world. Yes, he too had deep, dark, perverted thoughts about someone he should not.
"Miss Markov, please go to the principal's office. He would like to see you," said the secretary, Stella, not even looking up from her notes. Terra smiled and walked over to his office. She opened the door and walked in. Mr. Wilson turned from his window to face her.
"Hello Terra."
