5 Burrito Barrio

I wake up to the sun beaming on my face, I raised my hands to my face to block out the sun. Turning my head to my bedside I read the time on the clock, 6:15. I need to get ready for school.

15 minutes later...

I hop out the bathroom with my toothbrush in my mouth and slide on my underwear and my bottoms. I finish brushing my teeth and put the toothbrush in the bathroom and wipe my face with the nearest dirty shirt. I slid on my Howard sweatshirt and slim down my biker shorts. I sling my backpack over to my furry chair and put on my white shoes. I start to pack all my supplies in my backpack and throw my hair in a ponytail, comb out my bangs and head downstairs. I enter the kitchen to see grandfather making coffee and muffins.

"Good morning Grandpa." I say as I wrap my arm around his neck and kiss him on the cheek, I go on to say, "What's on the agenda today?"

"Good morning to you too Quinneth, I was going out to the record store to look for some records and I have a da..." He says as he mumbles the last part.

"Wait, I say as I turn around with a muffin and coffee in hand, "what did you say I didn't pick it up."

"Oh, I said that I have a date with Irene from The Tribune ." He says in a shush tone, but I'm able to pick it up. I don't know why he was nervous to tell me. Grandma died over 6 years ago I wanted him to get out there and find someone instead of sitting in the house and watching reruns of Sandford and Sons.

I sit down my coffee, muffin and backpack and walk over to Grandfather. I put my hands on his face and lift it up to look at me. I look into his eyes and say, "Grandpa, grandma died years ago, its ok to go out and date it is actually quite normal." I say as I stare into his eyes so he'll know I'm serious. He nods his head at me, I nod my head in an agreement and grab my stuff I tell Grandpa goodbye and jump in my car and head to school.

My school is like every teenage coming of age school. You've got the cocky football players who date the stuck-up cheerleaders. The smart kids associate with each other, same as the goths and foreigners. Me and Lyra are the exception I suppose. But that's Batcaver's Highschool home of the Bats. Ronald L. Batcaver's was the mayor of St. Helena, but he died from a heart attack. Every year we say a prayer on his statue in front of the school. From what I heard he was a very good and nice guy.

I pull up to the school, park my car and grab my bag and head on in. I head on over to my locker to see a flyer that said, "The Blondes Bash". The Blondes are Sara and Tara they always throw the coolest parties, from what I hear anyway. I crumble up the flyer and throw it in my bag. I open my locker and start taking out my books for my first three periods. As I doing that, I feel a presence behind me, cologne dances up into my nose, it must be Jack. I throw my bag in my locker to not be greeted by Jack, but Myers.

"What's up Worthingshire did you hear about The Blondes party tonight?" He asks as he pops his gum.

"Yeah you going?" I said.

"No, I was maybe going to watch some T.V." I said as I adjust my books in my arms.

"Oh come on we have to go. Afterwards we could go to burg-oh-wow and chill." He said pressing his hands together in a plea hoping I'd say yes. He is pretty cute and I love burgers.

"I'm down see you there." He gives me a smile and walks on down the hall.

Lunch Time...

I walk into the cafeteria to see it's pouring with students. All the cheerleader sitting with the jocks, nerds as they call the smart kids are usually in the library. I walk over to the lunch line to see what's to eat. The menu has a list of things such as: Burrito Barrio, Mac and Chesse, Salad and lastly Pizza. I pick up the Burrito Barrio, a water and an apple. I go up to the counter to pay. Rita ,my favorite lunch lady, Is at the register. She sees me coming and wave me in.

"Hey Quinneth honey how's your day going today?" She says in a happy tone. I don't know how she could be happy here, most of the lunch ladies are all mean looking.

"It's going. "I say to her with a chuckle. She sees what I have on my tray and charges me $4.75. I reach in my pocket and take out a $5.00 bill and tell her to keep the change.

"Oh, good enjoy your lunch and have a good day!" She says with still a smile on her face. I wave her off and look around for Lyra who is sitting by the window tables. I start to walk over to her and sit down immediately.

"Hey, how's your day so far?" I ask her as I open up my water to drink it.

"It's so boring Mr. Elroy gave me a C on my homework just because I turned it in late." She says as she rests her head on her hands.

"Well, that's what happens when you turn in work Late." I tell her as I laugh and take a bite out of my Burrito Barrio.

"No, I disagree these teachers have no respect for student don't they realize that we have lives too I can't be doing homework every night I have to work!" She says as she wades her finger in the air like she's a politician.

"Whatever you say Lyra, so I guess I'm going to The Blonde party tonight." I tell her in a surprising tone and her eyes bulge wide open in excitement.

"Yayyy omg we are going to look so hot tonight maybe you could land a man for once." She says in an excitement voice as she waves her hands in the air.

"Oh, Lyra you are the only person I need." I say in a sweet tone.

"Awe how sweet Harley Quinn." She curls up her lips in an I-got-you face.

"So, what are you going to wear to the party something short or mid-long?" I ask her in a curious voice. She always wears something short and outrageous. She mostly wears it for Jack she says he acts crazy when he sees her.

"Mhm, I guess my little purple dress or my little red dress with the strap. Well what about you prude going to wear a church dress?" She says in a smug way.

"Ha, Ha I was going to wear my butterfly dress with the white shear over coat with the fur on the ends." I tell her in a matter of fact tone.

"You know what I couldn't even come up with an insult, that it is really a cute outfit. It actually makes your butt pop you are going to get SOOO many guys." She says as she drinks her chocolate milk and bites her pizza.

"That would be the first thing that comes out of your mouth."

"You know you were thinking too." She says as she points her finger at me.

I belch out a laugh and rise up a little out of my seat and throw my food away then sit back down. The bell rings and everyone spreads out the cafeteria. Me and Lyra say our goodbyes and depart ways.

The rest of my day was rather OK did a couple of group projects and some notes. I head on out the building and start walking towards the parking lot. I get to my car and feel someone looking at me. I look over my shoulder to see that wolf again I saw from the other night when Lyra was over. Jet-Black fur and those damning green piercing eyes. It moves his head from side to side like it's trying to tell me something, again. God is it following me or what? The wolf turns around and runs back into the woods. I shake off the stare down and get in my car to head to work.

20 minutes later I pull into work get out the car and head into the store.

"Hey Ida I'm ready to work." I semi yell out to her as I go behind the register.
