He saw the sky had turned to gray
And the clouds started rollin' in
Got no use for what they say
Got no use for where they've been

Days Left: 30
"Damn Garfield." Rachael mumbled underneath her breath as she cut another piece of silver duct tape. Kori had left a couple of hours ago and Rachael was trying to duct tape her window before the rain began to start. Glass was shattered on her maroon rug and books were scattered across her desk. Next door, Rachael's grandmother was talking to Rita Dayton about the damage he had done to her window. From where she was, Rachael could see Rita giving her grandmother an ashamed look and shaking her head. After placing the last strip of tape on her window, Rachael exhaled and examined her work. It looked messy and ghetto and just looking at it made Rachael's blood boil. Deciding that glaring wasn't going to change anything, the pale teenager closed the curtains and flipped on a light. Her room was an untidy mess, clothes and books strewn everywhere. It was in no way the condition that Rachael would like it to be. There was a gentle knock on Rachael's door and before she could say anything, Garfield walked in, hands shoved in his pockets. Rachael rolled her eyes.
"What, did you come here to destroy the rest of my room too?" Rachael said mockingly as Garfield glared at her.
"Sorry." he mumbled.
"What was that? Couldn't quite hear you over the sound of broken glass under my feet." Rachael replied, narrowing her eyes at him.
"I'm sorry." Garfield repeated, this time a tad bit louder. Rachael appeared to mull it over before smiling at the blonde teenager.
"You are not forgiven. Get the hell out of my house." she said, pushing him out of her room.
"What? B-But you smiled!"
"What can I say? I'm a lovely actress." Rachael replied, slamming the door behind him and locking it for good measure.

"Mrs. Dayton offered to pay for the damage done to your window." Rachael's grandmother, Caroline, said as the two sat at the dinner table.
"Good." Rachael said curtly, pecking at her food.
"You know he didn't mean it." Caroline sighed.
"Yeah, sure." Rachael snorted sarcastically.
"He's a nice boy, really." Caroline tried. This time, Rachael nearly choked on her food.
"Like hell." Rachael muttered beneath her breath.
"Language, Rachael!" Caroline hissed.
"I'm sorry, I'm just...not really hungry. I'm going to go upstairs." Rachael replied. Caroline merely sighed and nodded.
"Don't forget to do your homework!" she said.
"Already done." Rachael replied as she reached the top of the staircase. That being said, she walked into her room, dreary eyed, and glared at the duct taped window she so despised.
"Stupid window." she muttered, picking up papers from the ground. She really did need to clean her room; it was quite messy after all. And littered with glass. Sitting cross legged on her bed, she pulled her laptop closer to her and typed in her password. Once that was done, Rachael opened her window, expecting to see an email from Kori on how to solve a specific math problem she was having trouble with. Instead, however, she found an email from someone she least expected and least desired.

Rolling her eyes at the "internet speak" he was using, Rachael typed her reply.

Rachael's eye began to twitch. Had he even remotely paid attention in Biology? Had he even so much as glanced at textbook at all these past four years?
To:
Fr:

Yet again, Rachael's eye twitched. She took a deep breath in and slammed her laptop shut. Never in her life had she met someone so moronic.
