Go to school

Getting ready for school seems to take no time at all the next morning. Maybe it was the fact that it was a Friday or maybe it was just the realignment to a full day of hard work before a long weekend. The rain still gushed down outside and the sky was so dark that by the time you left the house at 7:50, the street lamps were still blazing looking oddly distorted among the downpour.

You reach school with 10 minutes to spare before homeroom. Students who had recently arrived were soaked, including you. As you reached your locker, Minnie, a close friend and fellow classmate spotted you and walked over.

“Hi Jay” she said cheerily.

“Hey” you reply shaking water out of your hair, “it’s fucking wet out there.”

“Yeah I know” she chuckled “I had to bus here in it.”

“How’s the project going for English?” You ask trying to bring the subject of the conversation away from a depressing matter such as the weather.

“Uh, well, I finished the research part but I need some help with the write up. I just have no idea where to begin!” She replied sounding flustered.

“Come to think of it” you say a quizzical look appearing on your face, “I guess I could use some help on that too. Are you free this evening?”

“Yeah it’s open. Why?”

“Can I come over? We can work together better then rather than over FaceTime.”

“5 o’clock?”

“Done” you say

She beams at you, gives you a quick hug, then turns around and flounces off, her kilt bouncing revealing a considerable amount of leg underneath.

Well. At least you had one thing to look forward to today, and you turn on you heel heading to Biology class.
