chapter one.
Sylvie Montoya's lavender Jansport pounded against her back as she ran. Arriving at their meeting spot, she dropped the burden and gasped, twisting her letter lock until it spelled VERY, her maltipoo puppy's name. Seniors narrowed their eyes at her, but she was used to it. A freshman having a locker in the senior's wing, right next to her best friend? It happens when your other best friend's dad is dating the school secretary.
Becca Reed looked down at Sylvie, her Pacsun sunglasses sliding down to her nose.
"Sleep in again?"
Sylvie rolled her eyes and grabbed the thermos out of Amy Winter's gloved hand. She flipped milk chocolate colored locks out of her face and gulped steadily. Then a queasy expression came upon her face.
"It's lukewarm!"
Amy gave her a 'what can you do?' look and took the thermos back.
"It's coffee. I told you, coffee waits for no one. Not even you, hon."
Sylvie took a deep breath and then put on a small smile.
"Where's Kaylen?" Becca checked her Pantech Laser.
"With her new boyfriend," Amy checked the silver watch that glided along her dainty wrist.
"Shocker," Sylvie muttered.
The bell rang.
"Trig," Amy sighed.
"Bio," Sylvie responded.
"Yearbook, bitches!" Becca grinned. Yearbook class was also known as FMT to the females that took it; Facebook Modcloth Tumblr.
"Hey Becca," Amy called as they all walked in opposite directions. "How does Chipotle after fourth sound? I have a huge test in English."
"Fine," Becca said, "but Sylvie picks the music."
"Whatevs," Sylvie shrugged. She had long since stopped being scared of missing class. Mr. Winters was well into wooing the secretary, Miss Preston, and there was nothing that woman wouldn't do for Amy and her friends. Kaylen often joked that Miss Preston would even commit murder if they asked her to.
Sylvie hesitated outside the door to her Biology class, there was still two minutes before class started. Her Motorola Backflip vibrated, and she opened her text with recently painted emerald green nails.
kaylen: I need to talk to you, asap. break? you know where.
sylvie: sure. a&b too?
Kaylen responded almost instantly.
kaylen: NO. this is between me and you. please don't mention anything.
Sylvie was confused. The four shared everything.
sylvie: ??? alrighty.
kaylen: thanks. love you.
The bell rang and Sylvie hurriedly dropped her phone in her pocket and scurried into class.
