Sunday was boring for me. You may call me a pagan, but i really don't always go to church. What do i do?
Work. I work is all i do. Very ironic because I'm supposed to be the girl that has it all.
The girl with a multi billionaire as a father. The girl who lives in a subtle mansion. But here i am, working weekend morning shifts in a diner and by the fuel station at midday, and pretend to be over twenty by night where i work in a bar with the most dreadful boss ever.
My life sucks is an understatement, but who can i blame, i chose it, i chose this.
And anyone who knows the truth about me would think I'm stupid. But i have something called integrity, most people think that's just a word only people like Martin Luther King are supposed to use, but that is just a whole spring of bullshit they used to cover their lazy ass.
I have pride and high self esteem. I won't stoop down to the level expected of me.
Today begin Monday, which used to be my favorite time of the week, now my worst. I have to endure another long tiresome, annoying and noisy day of my life with many more to come. And what sucked the most was that he wasn't here to get me through with it. I tried calling a dozen times but it always ends up the same with the line begin out of service.
Per usual routine, Kyle would ride us if not the first then among the first people to get to the freaking Grayson's academy or whatever it is called, but now i have to take a bus. How i hate bus rides, over noisy teenagers and nosey old ladies that can't seem to get a day without gossip. It irritates me so much, but what can i say? I don't have a vehicle to transport myself by myself and i wouldn't say yes to any of Andrew's offers, so that's what i do, endure.
The air is fresh, day is calm and the only noise i could hear were the chirping of the birds.
This is one of those moments i call bliss. I can smell the beautiful silence and it's wonderful. Sitting alone like this in the back of the class with my hoodie up as the silence and cold air greats me.
I was just starting to drift away, thoughts of Jim invading my mind --but then the startle of the most annoying bell greats me, and I've never been so happy to hear it my entire life.
Okay maybe not. Not when you have a round and insensitive fifty three year old humpty as your history teacher that turns his shameful experiences in life to the discovery of Mount Everest.
I shudder at that thought.
My peaceful time of silence is now very over as students start trailing in muttering the latest gossip about Trevor Turner's new romantic interest, or rather play thing. Guys smacking each other over the head while ranting about how hot Sarah Jones is, because they are just the usual horny teenage kids.
I shake my head uncomfortably and head to my first Class trying to distance myself from the sound of hyperactive teenagers who clearly don't plan on being early.
"So, what do you think? "I'm slightly taking aback by the fiery platinum blondie smiling brightly in front of me.
"Um.. About what? "i swear this girl just shows up from no where most of the time and starts talking about some pointless stuff, i bet she's referring to her new mack cutex.
"My shoes of course! "she grins and flips her gorgeous platinum curls with red highlights. Well, at least i was close.
It's now i take my time to take in her outfit. She's wearing a floral blue dress that has a very nice v neck and shows off her curves, matched with a pair of silver strap heals and kc hand bag. She looks pretty, she always does but i really don't know what's special about the shoe's, I've seen a lot of strap or straight heals, whatever thanks to her. But i don't exactly know what the difference is except the color.
"Er... It's, pretty? "
"Oh come on Lex, you can do better than that "she tags on beside me and we both make our way to the class we have together.
"Is it some kind of new brand or something? "knowing Alice, it's probably some trending item she's been eyeing for a while now or else she won't be so enthusiastic about it, but then she'll definitely get tired of it by the time it leaves her feet.
"You bet! "she practically screamed "i saw this online and in that moment, i knew we were meant for each other "
Of course. I mentally roll my eyes.
"Oh, have you heard? "she suddenly blurts.
"Heard what? "
"I broke up with Greg "she says it with so much pride and a silly smile on her face like its some kind of accomplishment.
"Oh? " i ask with one lifted eyebrow.
"Yep! "
"I'm not even going to ask why. "
"Good "
That is Alice for you, and this is how our conversations about her exes usually go. I stifle a laugh. She's just like that, hyperactive and crazy about fashion, just the same about guys, their like a collection of Mary kay's to her, always switching with the new brand.
Don't ask me how i know Mary Kay, or kc.
I honestly know nothing about fashion or make up, but when a bundle of lipsticks and foundations are thrown in your face a hair full of times, you learn to grasp a few things.
"Have you heard from Kyle? "she asked causing my faint smile to fade .
"No " i frown
"Do--"
"Miss McCarthy! "she was cut off by the creepy sound of Mrs Becker's voice "so good of you to finally grace us with your presence "
Oh shit! Sarcasm. She only uses sarcasm when she's really pissed.
We stay rooted to the door with the audience of the whole classroom starring at us. I got distracted by Alice again and now I'm late to chemistry. I'm never late!
"Sorr-"
"Hi Mrs bee "Alice cut me off walking in and waving at our stone cold teacher like nothing really matters.
"You're late "she scowls at her.
"No, I'm exactly on time. See "Alice pulls out her phone waving it at Mrs grumpy's face "lecture starts by ten twenty exact. "
"The bell had gone off ten minutes ago"
"That's because it goes off ten minutes before the actual class. "she twirls around and finds herself a seat leaving us both stunned.
With a tight smile directed at Mrs grumpy, i follow suit to take my sit beside Alice.
It doesn't take long for Mrs grumpy to recover and reattach that usually frown and scowl she loves wearing, clears her throat and starts speaking.
"I need your total cooperation now if you want to rest of this lesson to go on without any more uncalled distractions. "she shoots me and my partner in crime a cold glare.
Did she say lesson! This woman never gives lessons, she only throws random pages from our textbooks at us and comes back to drop a test. Her classes are almost always theoretical instead of practical.
"This... "she drops down an envelope "...is your test results from last week "
If there was one thing i loved about her classes was her ability to command silence.
Moving from table to table she carefully dropped each script for their owners.
"I suppose you emerged the highest again Lexa "her tick Scottish accent drew my attention to her still scowling face, as she spared me a brief nod. I gave a shallow smile and returned my attention back to the script lying in front of me.
"Conduct yourselves on the next topic in your text books--"
Figures.
"--Our next class would take place in the lab. "and with that she picked up all her stuff and left.
"Psst... " i heard someone call from beside me.
"What's your score? "Alice whispers .
I frown "why are you whispering? She's gone "
"Well, you like to keep it low so-"
"There's no point Ali, the others have already taken it upon themselves to make sure the extra hour doesn't go to waste, i can't think straight either ways"
"I got a c on forty seven percent, what about you? "she said ignoring my statement.
That is when i actually take a good look at my script.
"A, eighty... Wait! Eighty seven? "
"Expected as much. "she smirks.
"No, no, no, i can't have an eighty seven Ali, I've never had anything below ninety five before. "how did this happen!
"Oh chill out nerdy "she rolls her eyes "you have an A. That's big! Not everyone is as smart as you are.
Really.
I don't feel so smart anymore.
"Come on, stop scowling and let go okay? "it wasn't a question, it was a demand.
I hate this, i really hate this.
ANDREW"So how is it going with Lexa? "Brittany asked as she sipped in her glass of wine that i just refilled for her.That's something that had been nagging me for quite a while now. Sitting here at the top of the roof with the sunset view in Chef Molly's, away from work and all the disturbing reports on my company from the media. I just wanted to let go for once and enjoy this moment with her without having to worry about the rest of the world."Not good "i reply honestly. This is going to be really harder than i thought."How are we going to do this then? "she twirls her glass and her fingers giving me that look that I'm all too fond of."I don't know really "my voice sounds almost defeated."I just don't think this is going to work out if you still keep waiting on her. You know she stil
LEXA.I've been sitting on the pavement of this fuel station waiting and waiting for a costumer to pop up because honestly, I'm stressed and is it weird that i like to relieve my stress with more stressful stuff?Okay, don't answer that.I always tell rob his business is slacking but the old dude as usual, turns a deaf ear on me.What's a girl got to do except pretend not to notice all the flaws in this job and just go along with it. I've only been here for a week and I'm already starting to regret coming here. It's not like the pay is all that anyway, this was the only job i could find available per time so i just had to cope with it.No complaints here.Just when i was about to take a leave considering there are no costumers, the sound of a screeching tyre brought back my attention to the
"Ice cream? "I asked stepping into the usually busy ice cream parlor here in Granville, which surprisingly isn't really busy today.Looking around i spot Michael behind the counter handing a vanilla cone to a little girl holding on thigh to her mummy's hand, shinning his perfect set of white pearls at her encouragingly.It's been long since I've seen him and been in here."Just what you need "Kyle plays a soft smile while pulling my arm to the platform. Every step we took the overwhelming smell of chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, banana and pineapple filled my nostrils and makes my stomach turn.I didn't even realize i was hungry until now. Hungry for sweets."Lexi " Michael grinned upon seeing me."Hey Mike ""You haven't been here in a while "if b
Stepping into this house was like an empty void filled with unwanted memories and hate. Every passing day that i had to sleep here and pretend like everything was alright was like a blow to my stomach."Aren't you heading back? "i asked the half English brunette trailing behind me while dangling his car keys."I know you won't survive another second without me love, you don't have to worry about it. Besides i don't want you blowing up my phone every five seconds and begging me to come keep you company "I just shake my head and roll my eyes. He does this sometimes. Saying stuff that a corny boyfriend would say to cheer his girl up, or pretend I'm a whinny girlfriend who can't go a second without him.I swear i have the weirdest bestie ever. And i still don't know how it happened.Oh.... My mom and
BRITTANY"Miss Raies "I walk into my office confidently in my strapless pencil dress, feather jacket and three inch heels, taking every step graciously with the young accountant trailing behind me.Hmm, miss.That would be over soon. I think twirling the massive gold and diamond on my ring finger.Taking my seat at the back of the huge desk, i put my elbows down on the polished wood, intertwining my manicured fingers together under my chin."So tell me Mr Jerome, how is the mobile distribution going?"It's been four months now since i started working in this company ,and in that s
LEXA."Posters are out already! "Alice exclaimed as she pulls out one of them from the notice board. "our final exams are just three months away !"she said flipping her platinum hair over her shoulder with a small pout on her red lips as we walked over to the cafeteria together."Already? "i ask.I'm not prepared, after the hole slacking thing in my last chemistry test, i don't know if I'm ready to jump into finals now. I've been so busy with work and everything else that i barely have time to study now."Yeah it's all over the school walls, and I'm not even half way ready "she sighs and i throw her a glance "okay, I'm not ready at all " a defeated look passes her face. "maybe I'll just drop medici
"What did you do? " i whisper to Alice referring to the little stunt she pulled back in the cafeteria. After she left with Finn he hasn't showed up to me again... Yet. And I'm starting to wonder what the infamous Alice Neama did to get rid of the all so famous jerk of the century.She simply shrugs and winked at me going back to pretend to listen to what Mr Louis whom i personally prefer to call humpty was saying.You can't blame me for striking up a conversation during class. I mean it's history, even I can say that i never listen during this class, although that has something more to do with the old humpty we have as a teacher, because trust me I'm not the only one.The guy just literally keeps talking to him self none stop, and that is all he does. Sit and talk b
Crap! I'm running late again for the what?... The Fifth time this week?.I'm screwed, yeah. Definitely screwed .and my feet hurt, i can't tell how many times I've had to run on heals anymore and i don't think i can ever get used to it because these things hurt like hell.Damn heals!I should have just gone with the vans but i can't. Because victor is just a regular asshole.Finally getting to the bar, i met it extremely crowded with an extra busy Jim.This is the thing about down side, it has absolutely no age limit and doesn't give two fucks about illegal teenage drinking just as long as it's making good money. Which is why on Bu
