"Jasmine!" a voice with a thick accent yelled from the bottom of the stairs.
"Cinq minutes de plus!" Jasmine yells back, still in bed.
"Vous allez être en retard pour l'école!"
"I don't care about school!" She rolled over in her fluffy white bed, burying her face in a pillow.
"Breakfast is on the table!"
Jasmine groaned and slid out of bed. She lazily walked over to her closet. Jean shorts, black turtleneck, oversized yellow sweater, white converse. She rehearsed as she got dressed.What am I forgetting? She scanned the room. Glasses! She grabbed them off her bedside table and bolted downstairs.
"Morning." She grumbled to her parents as she packed her backpack full of essentials; headphones, phone, bus pass, notebook, meds.
"Breakfast!" Her mother exclaimed, shoving a plate of food in her face.
"Late," Jasmine replied, grabbing a slice of toast and walking backwards to the door. "Good day!" She bowed as she walked out the open door.
As soon as she turned around, she bolted to the nearest bus stop.
"Yeah, Cameron Walker." She smiled, playing the hem of her Rolling Stones shirt. She was wearing long pants today, so no one could see her prosthetic, but her limp was still noticeable. Cameron had never learned to show people it without feeling self-conscious.
Lotus smiled back. She yawned again, "Why does school start so early?"
"'Cause teacher's live to torture us." Cameron sighed, leaning against one of the locker's in the hallways.
Lotus laughed a little, "No they exist to bore us. And warn us about the 'dangers of video games'."
"Late," Jasmine muttered to herself as she ran out of the bus, the courtyard was already empty.
Lotus laughed a little, "No they exist to bore us. And warn us about the 'dangers of video games'."
Cameron chuckled, shaking her head slightly. "Oh please, video games don't do anything. Let me tell you this, algebra rots our brains."
Lotus frowned slightly, "But I like math. Though I despise English. And I have this crazy ability in science to make anything combust."
"Oh lord, the science teacher actually despises me. I have that same tendency to make everything and absolutely anything blow up." Cameron laughed, running a hand through her hair. This was the first person that she had ever really gotten along with.
"I'm so glad someone else has this problem," Lotus smiled. I'm socializing for once and they aren't half bad, "Like this one time in seventh grade when we were dissecting frogs. Somehow mine caught on fire. I don't even remember how that happened!"
Cameron laughed at that. "Once, I knocked the entire row of chemicals off of my desk and we couldn't step into the room for two weeks. It was great."
Lotus laughed, "Oh man. I remember that! I was honestly really grateful that it didn't happen to me."
"I have a knack for embarrassing myself." Cameron replied, a small smile tilting the corners of her lips up.
The bell rang and Lotus groaned. She looked to Cameron, "Guess what I have first period?"
"Science?" Cameron smirked, raising a brow.
Lotus grinned, "Yep. We're doing a lab today with chemicals. Wish me luck so I don't end up burning the school down."
"If the fire alarm goes off, I'll know that it's you." Cameron grinned, waving to Lotus as she walked towards her own first period class. The terrible destination of utter doom. . . Ms. Paulson's English class.
"See ya," Lotus walked off to Mrs. Phos's science class. She was so dead.
Jane woke up in her king sized bed, in the top floor of a tall building. Her room. Or rooms would be more accurate. The maid had already laid out her five thousand dollar designer outfit for the day. Her parents had left. She got up and dressed and left for school in her private limo. When she got there, she hopped out and ran into her science class, five minutes late. "I'm so sorry! I won't be late again!" she half shouted.
Sprinting to her English class from the gate, Elizabeth made it just in time, sitting down right when Ms. Paulson walked into the room.
Cameron chose to sit in the back, her head resting on the desk. No wonder Ms. Paulson isn't married. She probably bores her dates to death. She sighed, and glanced up when she walked into the room.
Lotus sat in the back of the class. She paid no attention to Jane who had run in late.
Because Elizabeth was late, the only seat that was left in the back next to a girl she belived was Cameron. She quickly sat down giving a small wave and smile to the girl and taking out her English books.
Cameron looked over to the girl and smiled, swinging her legs back and forth in her seat. "Don't worry, you didn't miss much. Only Ms. Paulson complaining above her non-existent love life."
‘Awe, dang It! I missed my daily dose of boredom??” She said with a small laugh. “Thanks. I really was worried I was gunna miss something.”
