Our Story: Harvey's Life

"Tess,wake up. We're gonna be late for school," my best friend, Ivy Martinez shook me.

"Nu-uh. Just a little more of it," I murmured with my eyes still closed.

We had a sleepover the previous night and we slept at about 2.am even though we knew that we had school the following morning which was now.

"Come on Tessy," she nudged me.

I squirmed in my bed like a worm and muttered some swear words away from the hearing of Ivy. That girl really hated swear words.

"I'm set already," I heard her say.

"What!"

I rose up with a startled look. I scanned the room frantically before resting my eyes on the black beauty.

I assessed my friend and she was right.

Her hair was nicely put in a bun.

After a quick shower, I came out fully refreshed and slipped on a v-neck D&G shirt with a huge brown hoodie over it.

I scrambled over to my closet and fished out a black jeans that was ripped at the knee.

I sat down in front of my dresser as Ivy arrived with a plate of pancakes and maple syrup.

I took a pancake and squeezed it into my mouth before grabbing my hairbrush.

"Shouldn't you do something about this thing?" She murmured, pointing to my hair.

"It's my hair, not a thing." I picked a rubber band from the table and put my hair in a high ponytail.

We walked down the spiral staircase and Ivy rolled her eyes."One could spend minutes on your stairs."

"Let the credit go to rich mommy and daddy."I said, still stretching a bit. She giggled and a phone beeped.

"Mine or yours?" I strolled to the kitchen and grabbed a chocolate bar from the counter.

"Mine, it's Scott. He's outside."

I grinned and that earned me a smack behind my neck.

She opened the door for us to walk out and I closed the door

How did she get there so fast?

I shrugged and walked to the car. I entered into the backseat and they disengaged their morning romance,both faces flushed.

I smiled at Scott. We've all been together since seventh grade and understand each other.

When, a month ago, Scott had revealed that he had feelings for Ivy, I couldn't have been happier. He didn't mind her skin color like most pricks do.

Even though I hated it when they start making out in front of me, I would say to myself,"They're just teens with hormones that are hard to control."

"Morning Tess," Scott greeted as he turned swiftly at me.

"Hey blondie,"I replied back , ripping off the protection on the chocolate bar.

I plugged in my earphones and Drake's God's plan blared into my ears. I could see Scott and Ivy whisper into each other's ear.

They looked really happy unlike me, my life sucks.

Scott pulled over when he found a spot to park in. I got out of the car and Scott said to us,"In case you haven't noticed, he's coming back today."

"Luke."

Luke Henderson, biggest jerk of all time. He had the looks anyone would want to die for.

Looks that could kill. He's been arrested many times and last week was one of those many times.

Behind every successful jerk, there is always a successful bitchass.

His cousin,side kick and best friend,Lucas Henderson.

"Great. More troubles." I muttered.

We walked in towards our lockers. Mine opposite Ivy's and Scott's. I groaned as I heard some chattering behind me.

Some people, for some reason, can't learn to keep their mouth shut.

I strained my ears and heard a high-pitched voice you wouldn't wanna hear early in the morning.

I turned on my heels and saw Alessia,the biggest slut at Preston high.

She was facing Ivy with her minions behind her. Long lashes (fake) with a very heavy make-up.

She batted them at her and my friend looked really scared. Where the hell was Scott?

I was going to ignore them until I heard,"I don't even know why they allow blacks in this school."

That's it. She has gone past her line. I lunged forward at her with a full fist and she hit the ground with a heavy thud. Ivy was on the verge of tears as she tried pulling me back.

That didn't stop me from rambling.

"What? Blacks? You're lucky to have been born white and let me tell you something, that color doesn't suit you,bitch."

Her eyes widened."What? Bitch?" She tried to get up but her stupid heels prevented her.

I pulled her up with her hair and slammed her back against a locker. A crowd had already formed around us. "Don't make me mad." I growled. The bitch tried to spit at me and she earned a slap.

"What is going on here?" Mr. Philips,our principal,scowled at us and people scurried to their classes except Alessia,Ivy and I.

"Ms. Harvey,to my office now." He walked off and I trailed after him.

"She was being damn racist!" I banged a fist on his table and he flinched.

"Ms. Harvey, I'm going to let you off the hook because of your anger issues but there won't be a next time,are we clear?"

His glasses perched on his nose. I stared at him blankly.

I actually felt like punching him for not allowing me to beat the hell out of Alessia.

"Are we clear?" He barked again.

"You can leave," He pointed to the door.

I swung my bag and opened the door. I got out,closed my eyes and breathed in deeply.

"Really? Anger issues?"
