Awful lunch and grumpy teachers.

The various chatters from various voices filled the hallway. As scents of different perfumes and sweaty bodies mixed together wafted through my nose causing it to slightly crinkle. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead as I made my way through the average sized school hallway that felt like a vast sea of swimming fishes just replace it with many sweaty human bodies bumping into each other.

"Hurry we're close" Alayah's raspy voice croaked out.

Honestly I was starting to get tired and frustrated with living like this. I mean I'm in flipping highschool! I'm supposed to be partying, having sleepovers,breaking into school with my bestfriend at night and running away when we get caught..the only thing I'm running away from are the bullies.

"I'm trying to catch up" I was panting as she sprinted. I was taller but she was way faster. We finally made it to the janitor's closet.

She shut the gate with a 'click' , plopping herself onto the ground and bringing out a bento box, stuffing her mouth with a veggie sandwich. I took in her features as she made big bites into the sandwich. Alayah was a very pretty girl, she had long ginger hair , emerald green eyes, a cute little button nose, pink lips that were slightly thin and freckles splattered all across her face like a map. I honestly don't see why she doesn't often get asked out, are all the boys here dumb? Sigh why do I even ask myself this question. But seriously! Alayah was so down to earth and humble despite being so damn rich!

"So how are things at home goin' ? " My thoughts were immediately drawn to my single mo-well almost single mom.

"Has the divorce gone through yet?" Her brows furrowed

" No..not yet...my dad's new wife literally humiliated my mom at the court last week! And all my dad did was stand there and talk to the judge like he was his therapist!" Her lips slightly parted as her eyes dimmed.

"Oh how I wish I could smack Tiffany across the face right then and there! And my dad too infact!" I realised I was raising my voice and muttered the last part out.

"Don't worry Sab! It's gonna be fine! Very soon this whole divorce drama will be over with a blink!" She shot me a bright smile clearly trying to cheer me up. I stared back into her bright green eyes giving a small smile.

"Anyways enough about me! How's things at your home going?" My expression shifting to a curious one. Alayah's house has always been one of madness, with parents that were barely home,three younger siblings and one annoying old one.

"Oh not much! Except Claudine starting a flipping podcast!"

"She started a podcast?" Claudine was Alayah's older sister only by two years though.

"Yes! It got a million views and like 5k likes!" My jaw drops cause ain't no way!

"I guess people enjoy girls who sound like a background character from 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' and boobs have more plastic in them than a recycle me bottle!"

I winced slightly from her aggressive words but I understood her though.

"Might wanna..tone down a lil' bit on the words but I get you."

"No seriously! All wake up , look dumb and judge your fashion sense!"

Her frown deepens as her brows furrow deeper.

I flick her forehead lightly "Relax the eyebrows babes or else you're gonna need an early age botox.." She laughs dryly at my bad joke.

The bell rings signalling to get back to class.

"Shit-! " I curse quickly stuffing olives into my mouth swelling it all down deeply "Sorry barely at a thing since we came here" She gave be a nod and got up.

"We best get to class quick! We have maths with Granny Karneki" I snort at the nickname we had given her.

TIME SKIP

We bolted into the class , sweaty from all the running , my lips pursed as she looked at us like we just committed a crime.

"Well look what we have cough cough here. If it isn't ginger freckles and cough Mary Poppins!" I glared at her words. Gosh I hated her so much.

Granny- I mean Ms.Karneki was the teacher for Mathematics period. And dang was she old. I mean I dont hate old people! I love them , their always the cutest, sweetest and kindest! Shut SHE was the opposite. She had short badly dyed black hair that was always tied into a tight bun with streaks of grey hair showing , big thick glasses that made her look even sterner, with tons of wrinkles , her face looked like a stretched out rubber band with to boobs infront of her that could be easily mistaken for saggy water balloons.

Alayah and I exchanged a look before she spoke.

"Oh we are so sorry Ms.Karneki! I know it our responsibility to find she square root of 437 and we are so disappointed at ourselves!" Alayah's voice was overly dramatic as she and I started slowly walking to our seats.

Ms.Karneki scoffed and rolled her eyes before talking about some formulas I didn't bother to listen to as I brought out my little diary and started writing in it.

Dear Diary,

Last week my mom and I went to the court to get the her divorce with dad done and over with. I still can't believe that dad could cheat on mom with her bestfriend and now get married to her! I hate Tiffany so damn much!-

My writing was cut short when my diary was roughly snatched away from my fingertips and I looked up in horror to see Ms.Karneki with that smug smirk on her face.

"How about cough I share what is so important you're writing that is better than the 100 digits of pie I'm teaching, shall we?" Her smirked broadened.

"Please no..." I muttered out clenching my fist.

"Too late...." She started reading it aloud....
