Purple top closes her locker and adverts her eyes as she scurries away down the hall. “Whoa Tiger, pull the claws in. This isn’t a Mean Girls movie.” I tsk at her.
“That was Marlana,” she screws her nose up at me, “didn’t anyone tell you ahead of time about her purple as fuck hair?”
“I can’t remember,” I shrug, “the girl looks like a kicked puppy.”
“She better stay out of our way this year or she’ll be a dead one.”
Yup, my sister has somehow tarnished Adri without even telling her what she does in her spare time.
“Okay Tiger. Homeroom.” I grin at her, fuck she looks hot when she's angry. Do not pop a boner, Emmett.
Mrs. G fucking loves me. Especially when I confessed to her how much I love to pray to Jesus every night before I sleep. I even closed the class today with a prayer for everyone to have a safe and productive first day. I could just feel the Holy Spirit rising out of my body just for her. My father was a practicing Catholic and we did church every Sunday even while he was in jail. So, I know my way around the Bible and I can certainly spout nonsense verses in my fucking sleep, which was a plus today in winning over one of my teachers.
“You are so fucking full of shit.” Adri giggles while we leave the classroom.
“You’re just jealous.” I shrug.
“What’d I miss?” I hear his deep voice to my right. I turn and see Travis leaning against the wall. Looks like he undid a few buttons at the top of his shirt and his golden chest contrasts with the white shirt perfectly.
“My prayer for everyone’s safe keeping on their first day of school.” I widen my eyes innocently.
“Must’ve soaked Mrs. G’s panties.” He snorts.
“Fucking right.” I nod.
“Gross,” Adri groans and rolls her eyes. “I’ll see you douches at lunch.” I watch as she turns on her cute little kitten heels and walks away down the hall, her fucking fine ass swinging in her kilt.
“Ready for chem?” Travis breaks through my thoughts.
“No.” I shake my head, “but maybe I can make it interesting by blowing something up at least once a week.” I wink at him.
After chem is over I am thankful to finally have lunch. My brain is fucking hurting and I am just realizing that maybe my homeschooled life just wasn’t up to par. Thank God my sister is a fucking straight A student, looks like she’ll be using her spare time tutoring her brother so we can both graduate together.
Travis and I both head to the cafe and we find Adri standing in front of the doors. She has taken off the blazer and her blouse is also rolled up at the sleeves. I can see a bit of a tattoo peeking out at the crease of her arm and she has on a pair of black, thick framed glasses. I pray my brain doesn’t alert my dick to how fucking hot she looks standing there.
“Hey!” She calls out with a large smile on her face. “How was chem?”
“Shit.” Travis grits out and moves past her to the cafe.
“Why the fuck is he so moody with me?” She huffs as her hands form fists.
“Not sure,” I go with the honest route. “You should probably ask him.”
“I don’t care anymore.” She shrugs her shoulders. Liar.
I hold my arm out for her and she blushes as she slips her hand through it. I see the little spade tattoo on her hand, just under her thumb and it’s so fucking cute.
“What are we eating today?” I ask her.
“Your sister loves the grilled chicken salad here.” She looks up at me.
“And we both know my sister is a little crazy.” I wink. Obviously, she knows nothing. “I want something not intended to feed small herbivore animals.”
She lets loose her full laugh and I just stand there in all its glory, happy I’m the one that keeps making her do that.
“I’m telling her you said that.” She snickers and leads me to the line, “I like the burgers here and the crispy fries with gravy.”
“Sounds pretty close to perfection.” I nod.
I follow Adri to a table and pass by Travis’. Looks like he’s eating with the jocks. As if sensing me, he looks up and our eyes lock. He does a slow perusal of me from bottom to top and I’d be fucking lying if I said I wasn’t sporting a chub right now. When he reaches my eyes he gives me a quick nod and goes back to talking to his friends.
“He used to sit with Ember and Vin when they were here. Sometimes I would sit there too. Most of the time I sit with my friends. You’ll like them, they really loved Ember.”
“Cool.” I nod at her.
She leads me to a table with a few guys and one small pixie like girl. Her white blonde hair is just a few shades lighter than her pale skin and she has the biggest blue eyes. She looks like a literal fairy.
“That’s Cara, Jordan has been in love with her forever. Just a warning.” Adri says with a slight scowl on her face. It’s fucking cute that she looks a little put off about me potentially liking another girl.
“Not my type.” I shake my head as I stare into her eyes.
“Okay.” She smiles a little and puts her tray on the table. “Guys, this is Ember’s twin Emmett. Emmett, this is Jordan,” she points to a tall, built guy with a man bun, “that’s Jake,” he’s a slighter build with a dark mop of curls on top of his head. He also has a skateboard propped up beside him. “And, that’s Cara.”
“Hey.” I wave to each, “love the board, dude.” I point it out to Jake.
“You skate?” He raises a brow.
“It’s been a while but seeing that makes me want to.”
“We usually do the skate park a few days a week.” He mutters shyly.
“Oh
