I fight to keep my eyes open while trudging through the now empty hallways. I was now late but honestly, I couldn't care less. These past few days I've been really tired. Not in a way where you feel sleepy but like your body's on fire and your eyes have dumbbells stuck onto them. Turning around the corner I spot my class door. Preparing myself I turn the knob and enter.

As expected all eyes turn to me.

"Nice of you to join us Ms.Clinton" Mr. Casper speaks up through the awkward silence.

I shift my eyes towards him and nod with a sheepish smile. I actually like this teacher so there's no reason for me to get on his bad side.

"Have a seat. We were just going over the sheet from yesterday."

I scurry on over to my desk knowingly ignoring the stares I was receiving from the towering guy next to me. I sit down out of breath when I feel Aubrey nudging me in the ribs. I wince and glare towards her with an arched eyebrow.

"Ms I love school coming into class late? Now I know there's a story behind this. Spill!" For a second I think of spilling my guts out in front of her from all the commotion from yesterday but instead I shake my head and lie.

"My mom forgot to wake me up and you know how I love my sleep.." I state looking away from her. She could always tell when I'm lying so not looking at her directly in the eye makes it easier.

Fast forward, the bell for first period rings and I began to gather my things for the next class when Dante slips a paper on to my desk subtly so only I would notice and stalks away without another glance back.

Cautiously I pick up the folded slip of paper and open it.

See you at work Laura ;) -Dante

I find myself smiling at the silly gesture. Shaking my head I get up and walk out the door few steps behind Aubrey.

This'll be interesting
