When Lauren woke, the bump on her head from the night before had taken its toll on her brain. She swayed lightly as she stood but grabbed the duchess and regained her balance. Monday…God she hated Mondays, but Lauren knew if she was to get a good job then school was her only choice. The holidays were over and even the events from the night before weren’t enough to pull her away from her studies. The little wardrobe was cluttered with old clothes, Lauren pulled out four pairs of jeans that were too small for her before she found the little black school skirt and the un-ironed white top. She stumbled into the shower and sat on the cold floor under the warm water. She didn’t hate her life…She didn’t hate much at all, but at the moment she hated herself for the things she said to the one person who really cared for her. Jake had been her best friend right through primary school and high school, it was only natural for them to get together. But now it was unlikely that he would ever talk to her again. She fell back onto her bed with the towel wrapped around her and her wet hair left a damp pool of water on her satin sheets. Lauren slowly sat up and pulled a brush through her short black hair. Her uniform was getting that little bit to tight but she couldn’t afford a new one. The bag containing all her books seemed so much heavier than she thought it was, as she walked out the front door. GOD…She really hated Mondays. As Lauren walked down to the foot path she tripped on a loose stone and almost went tumbling but…there again were the strong arms she had felt the night before.
“Watch it…Maybe you should watch where you’re going next time”
“Sorry…I tripped. There was no need to be rude about it.” He looked at her and she looked back hoping to find some sign of an apology but was soon disappointed
“Don’t look at me like that…Ur not gonna get an apology out of me. I meant what I said” He looked at his feet again and let out a small sigh “How’s your head?”
A faint smile filled Lauren’s face “Its throbbing actually”
“Maybe if you were smart you would take an aspirin” Then he just turned on his heels and walked away from her. Lauren shouted in frustration but regretted doing it when her head shouted back at her. The walk to school was also a lot longer than she remembered, people waved to her but she ignored, not because she was a snob but because she was side tracked. Her head felt like it was in the clouds and her ears were telling her it wasn’t with loud throbbing noises. The large gates of her school loomed in front of her but she didn’t even notice them. As she sat in form and her schedule was handed out Lauren found herself think about the boy next door, What school was he enrolled in, What classed could a person like that take? Lauren laughed to herself. They might have to make up new classes just to fit his IQ. The door to the class room burst open and a familiar face walked in “Oh god not again”
