As I walk back over to the school with Harry we talk. I invite him and Louis over after school and when the bell rings I walk him to our third period class. When Harry walks into class I leave, deciding to skip the rest of the day.

I creep down the hallway, passing the attendance office as I go. I send a wink to Dorcinda as I walk out the doors; she smiles and shakes her head. I know she’ll cover for me.

The rain has stopped now and when I push open the school’s back doors the sun shines brightly. I begin my walk home, being extra carful not to step in any puddles. The last thing I want to do is ruin my favorite pair of Converse. I’d had these babies since the beginning of high school and I’d grown a strong attachment to them over the years. They’d stuck with me through a lot.

When I get home, my Mom’s up and cooking, she turns to me and smiles.

“Hi sweetie!” She chirps, wiping her hands on her apron before coming over to me and embracing me in a huge hug.

“Uh mom?” I question. “You’re feeling better?”

“Yeah.”

“Oh. Good. Uh, the gangs comin’ over after school.” I say referring to my group of friends.

“Right, right. I made cookies!” My mom says, gesturing towards the oven.

“Thanks mom.” I mutter, turning on my heel to go upstairs.

I lie on my bed and pull out my laptop, signing into my twitter. I hear a commotion from outside my window so I walk over to it, peering outside I see Louis yelling at someone on the phone. He looks up to my window, I catch his eye and wave and he beckons for me to come outside.

When I get o utside, Louis is sitting on his front porch, lit cigarette hanging off his lips. I walk over to him and pluck it out of his mouth, taking a drag before handing it back to him.

“Whats got your panties in a bunch?” I ask innocently.

“Those fuckers from the airport lost one of my luggage’s!” He groans.

“Its just clothes Louis. They can be replaced.” I say rolling my eyes; Louis lets out a long sigh.

“I just miss being back home, you know.” He says sadly. I put my arm around him.

“It’s okay Lou.” I whisper, resting my head against his shoulder. Louis leans his head on top of mine and finishes his cigarette.

“Did you want to come over with Harry when school finishes? All my friends from school are going to be round, gives you a wonderful opportunity to get to know people!” I say trying to cheer him up.

“Naw, I think I’ll pass today. Gotta help me dad get things sorted out with the house.” He says.

“Okay Lou, if you change your mind you know where my house is.” I say giving him one last hug before getting up and walking back to my house.

My mom’s just getting off the phone when I re enter my house.

“Who was that?” I ask my mom politely.

“That was Auntie Margie. Her and your cousin Ryan are moving in for a few months come the end of this month.” She says happily.

Margaret Shaw, also known as Auntie Margie is my absolute least favorite aunt. She smells like socks and always pinches my cheeks. But Ryan and I were always close. She used to get bullied a lot when she was younger because everyone said she had a boy’s name.

“Great.” I say with mock happiness, rolling my eyes.

“Ria, come on she’s my sister and her and Ryan need a place to go, I’m not going to leave them out in the cold. Plus with my condition having a few extra sets of hands around the house wont be so bad.” Mom says.

I haven't seen Ryan since we were younger and I’m eager to see her again. If I remember correctly, she’s very tiny. She’s 17 and only 4’9, but she’s beautiful. I’ve seen her pictures on Facebook and puberty really did work wonders for her.

I decide to clean my room to help pass the time until school ends and it works because by the time I’m done the last bit of vacuuming there’s a knock on the front door. I run down the stairs two at a time, jumping off the last one and landing right in front of the door.

I unlock the door and swing it open to find Jessica standing in front of me, hair tied up, uniform skirt so short her ass cheeks are hanging out.

“Come on in slut.” I laugh, pulling her uniform skirt down when she walks past me.

“Okay, my English teacher is SO hot. I’m talking ten outta ten, would bang Ria.” Jess giggles out.

“Oh really?” I ask. “It’s your first day there and you’re already trying to fuck the teachers, man you haven’t changed a bit.”

“Says you!” Jess says winking. I just laugh.

“Where’s your mom? I miss her.” Jess says circling my house until she finds my mother. I can hear her shrieking about how much she missed Jessica from all the way in the hallway.

Not long after Jess arrived, everyone else shows up. I let them all in my house and bring them to my garage. I pull my purple Jansport backpack out of one of the recycling bins, the Jansport backpack that holds my beloved bong.

“You still have that thing?” Mitch asks, he’s sitting in between Hannah and Jess, Hannah’s acting like a whore, as usual but Jess is quiet, she looks sad. Probably because Mitch is here with his girlfriend.

My garage door swings open and in walks Harry. He takes the only empty seat, filling the space between Hannah and myself. We’re sitting in a circle; I’m beside Jess who’s beside Mitch who’s beside Hannah who’s beside Harry who’s beside me.

“Who has the weed?” I ask the group of teenagers sitting in the garage. Jess shrugs, Hannah rolls her eyes, Harry looks uncomfortable and Mitch produces a folded sheet of white paper from his pocket. When he hands it to me, the strong smell of skunk appears indicating it’s strong weed.

I smile as I unfold the paper revealing about 4 grams of weed.

“Scissors?” I ask the group politely, Mitch reaches into his backpack and produces a pair of large pink scissors that look oddly familiar.

“Hey!” I shout out. “These are mine, aren’t they?”

“Finders keepers, losers weepers.” Mitch says, sticking his tongue out at me.

We take turns taking hits off the bong, each time the bong comes back around to me I find myself feeling lighter and lighter, sort of like I’m floating.

“What is this shit?” Hannah coughs out after she finishes her hit.

“Dunno, got it off some guy at school. He called it Black Fire.” Mitch says.

Hannah shrugs and passes the bong to Harry whose eyes are practically shut because of how squinted they are.

“Uh, I think I’m done.” Harry mumbles out, the whole garage laughs.

“Pussy.” I hear Jess mumble under her breath. “Well, if he won’t go I’ll take his turn.”

Harry laughs and hands her the bong that she happily fills up with weed and smokes. She coughs a lot when she exhales, her eyes beginning to tear up.

“I’m going to get water.” Jess mumbles, getting up from her seat.

“I’ll come with you, I’m thirsty too.” I say to Jess giving her a knowing look. She nods her head and we go inside together.

“Okay, what the fuck is she doing here?” Jess practically screeches, referring to Hannah.

“Mitch insisted she came.” I say rolling my eyes and grabbing two water bottles out of the fridge.

“Well I don't like it, I can smell the slut stink from all the way in here.” Jess says annoyed and we both laugh.

I toss Jess a water bottle and we walk back through the house and into the garage. I catch Hannah giving Jess a dirty look when we walk in. Uh oh, this wont be pretty.

“Uh Hannah, Halloween isn’t for another couple weeks. You should probably take the mask off.” Jess growls at Hannah. The look on Hannah’s face is priceless.

“Excuse me?” Hannah asks in shock.

“Oh, I think you heard me slut.” Jess replies walking over to her chair and taking a seat. Hannah stands, walking over to Jess.

“Coming from the girl that fucked an entire foot ball team? Yeah, sorry Jess I don’t think you’re in any position to be making that comment.” Hannah says placing her hands on her hips. I stare at both of them in shock as Jess rises. She towers over Hannah as she glowers down at her.

“You know that’s not true.” Jessica states coldly.

“Oh by the way Jess, the sex clinic called they wanted to know if they could bring you into schools to show the students what a walking STD looks like.” Hannah says smirking.

I hear Mitch gasp and try to hold Jessica back but it’s too late, she’s already pounced on top of Hannah. I hear a bone crunch as Jessica’s fist collides with Hannah’s nose. Mitch hauls her off before she can do anymore damage.

Hannah rises, blood flowing freely down her nose.

“You bitch! Look what you did! I think it’s broken!” Hannah cries out in shock, hand reaching up to touch her obviously broken nose. Jess just rolls her eyes.

“Roll your eyes all you want, but at the end of the day I’m still fucking the boy you ‘love’.” Hannah says, air quoting the words love.

I see something flash behind Jessica’s eyes and I move to grab her and hold her back before she can hit Hannah again.

“Are you fucking serious Mitch? You’re going to let her talk to me like that?” Jessica says, trying to squirm her way out of my tight hold on her.

Mitch just stares at the ground. He looks from me to Jessica and then back at the ground, when he finally looks back up he directs his gaze to Hannah.

“Get out.” He says, his normally bright eyes have gone cold.

“What?” Hannah whispers out.

“You heard me Hannah, you aren’t welcome here. Not after the things you said to Jess. Get out, we’re through.”

“Bu-but” Hannah tries to speak but Mitch cuts her off.

“I said leave!” Mitch yells. Hannah’s face turns white and she scampers off out my garage door.

“Mitch-“ Jessica starts.

Mitch walks over to her, enveloping Jess in his arms and cutting her words off by kissing her. He smiles pulling away from her.

“Sorry, been wanting to do that for ages now.” He laughs out.
