I slam my hand onto my buzzing alarm clock in annoyance. Groggily turning over I look at it. 7:00 am, I groan at the thought of school, I have to be there by 8:00 or Ms. Diaz will have my head. I forcibly yank myself from the warm comfort of my bed before slinking over to my closet. We've only been back to school for a week and I've somehow managed to be late everyday. Time management is definitely not my thing. I hastily grab a pair of skinny jeans and slip them on before throwing on a light green top. I than go to my mirror and throw on some masscara, light pink eyeshadow and finally a simple lipgloss. I quickly finger comb my naturaly curly locks and hastily put on my light pink Converse. Yeah, I'm one of those girls, lipgloss is my salvation, and Converse are practically my religion. Checking my wrist watch I see I still have 20 minutes to waste till school starts. Knowing my luck Better not chance it, I think to myself before grabbing my bag and heading out. I only live 10 minutes from school but somehow I'm never on time, it's a gift I swear.

I begin my walk to school and make it without any incidents. Checking my watch I see it took my 15 minutes on what was suppose to be a 10 minute walk. Only having 5 minutes left I rush to my locker and than race as fast as humanly possible to Ms. Diaz's class. Right as I sit down the bell goes off. I look over at Ms. Diaz with a smirk. She scoffs and than addresses the class. "Today we will be studying..." I drowned her out and look out of the window by my desk.

My window just happens to face the field where the cheerleaders practice ;) just kidding I picked this seat for a reason and no, its not for the fresh air. It's so I can watch the cheerleaders practice in their cheer outfits. Veronica may not know I exist, but believe me when I tell you I definitely notice her. She has naturally blond hair that ends just after her shoulder blades, the most incredible blue/aqua eyes which I would gladly drown in. And no, I'm not being dramatic, she is literally Aphrodite reincarnated, Hell she might even be the original Goddess. But regardless of her Goddess type looks, she's still a raging b***h. In her mind even the slightest inconvenience might as well be the end of the world. Her lips look like two sof- *ring* *ring* *ring* I look up at the school bell, I am so gonna fail this class if the cheerleaders keep practicing out there.

Grabbing my bag I hastily make my way out the door. Now I really don't wanna sound like one of those cliche w*****d books but...I ran into a wall on my way out I ran into a wall, and by wall I mean Veronica. I quickly wrap my arms around her slim waist when i notice her start to fall form the impact. "Damn heels" she mutters, I giggle slightly, she looks up as if just now noticing me. "The Hell!? Let me go" she says I lean in close to her ear. "Careful baby" I lightly kiss her cheek ans than disappear into the crowd. That is gonna bit me in the ass later I think to myself shaking my head.
