His Bride

Chapter 2

When my mom starts the car and backs out of the drive way we are on our way to my favorite place on earth....high school. At one point I tried to convince my parents that it would be for the best to home school me, but they refused everytime I would ask. So eventually I had given up on that route and I had to stay in the public school system, yay.

Although if I hadn't stayed in public school I wouldn't have met my best friends Olivia and Ned, so I guess in the long run it really was a good thing I stayed. Even thought I absolutely still hate even having to be here but it's almost over and done with.

Sometimes I dont know how to feel about graduation there are moments where I cant wait for it to get here because then my schooling will finally be over. Yet I find myself dreading it because at the ceramony I'm supposed to meet Akela and I'm not excited about it at all.

Till this day my parents still haven't told me why I was enagaged to him they wouldn't tell me when I would try to pry it out of them. I just hope that maybe if I talk to him about this there could be a way that we can back out of this engagement. Hopefully it isn't something like my parents are in debt to them and I was their payment, if that were the case I would be absolutely pissed.

When we finally pulled up to the school me and my brother jumped out for the car and said goodbye to my mom. Even though I was eighteen and  yes I have my license my parents refuse to let me drive or get me a car. I have a feeling it's because they are afraid that I would drive away and run away to get away from the marriage with Akela, which they would be right but that's not the point. So my mother sometimes my father drops me and my brother off at school and picks us up after it's over.

Walking up to the front doors I head in and walk down the halls towards the senior hall where my locker is, when my locker is in sight I see that Olivia and Ned are standing there waiting for me at their lockers. We got super lucky that our lockers were right next to each other usually we would be spread out but lucky was on our side I guess. "Hey Olive, Hey Neddy what's kicking?"

I unlock my locker and start emptying my bag of my afternoon class stuff and putting textbooks and notebooks in my bag for my morning classes. "oh nothing much just waiting for you Ash, but you won't believe what just happened like 5 minutes ago!"

"Alight I'll bite, what happened?" Generally curious and usually when Olivia has seen something and tells me about it I know its gonna be good. She tries not to gossip to much but when there's something she's excited about and cant keep to herself  she tells me and Ned. " We just saw Jason and Caitlyn break up and it was because Jason found out Caitlyn was cheating on him with Daniel."

Jason and Caitlyn have been dating since sophomore year and have been lovey dovey ever since but when Jason never knew was that every once in a while Caitlyn would sleep with someone else. This time she picked the wrong person to sleep with behind Jason's back because Daniel is his best friend and Daniel is the kind of person to feel guilty about everything and is a pretty truthful guy. So he probably told Jason out of pure guilt, but the weird thing is everyone else knew what was going on and one or two people over the years tried to tell him but he didn't listen.

"Now there's a shocker I didnt expect that one till after graduation, but it's better sooner than later" I turned back to my locker to shut it and the three of us walked down the hall to our first class we had this first one togeather than I had Periods 3,5,6 with Olivia and Periods 2 and 4 with Ned. Unfortunately I had Period 7 without Olivia or Ned and surprise surprise the class is gym class, Classic.

My first period was Math then it's Muliticultural America, English, AP Chemistry, Lunch, free period, Music Production, gym. Almost every year they gave me math for first period except my sophomore year I got biology, yuck. I think I prefer math my first period I hated biology luckily Ned was there with me but we never got any work done most of the time and when we did only one of us did and the other copied the others work. Except for test and quizs cheating on those is a big no no , I rather  not get caught doing something like that during one of those.

On time Ned brought in some of these jelly beans that had different flavors but its was flavors like skunk, toothpaste, Dog food. I wanted to die when he ate the dog food one it almost made me throw up literally I was gagging at the trash can trying not to throw up it was worse then the skunk. I told him never bring those near me again they smell awful when someone eats them, I didnt even eat them and they smelled so bad.

The school year is almost over and honestly I'm also gonna miss high school not because I'm gonna miss going to class because I'm gonna miss making fun memories with Olivia and Ned. I hope where ever Akela is that it isn't far away from home I wouldn't be able to survive without those two, they mean everything to me their my best friends. I still haven't even told them I'm engaged to him I didnt want them to see me differently because of it but I'll have to tell them soon.. I only have 3 days left.
