Dear Agony

[BeautifullyxMad]

Ryan looked to Edie and nodded. "I would rather not think about what anyone would say about any of us. Those girls had it coming. Sometimes I wish they were guys so I could deck them and be done with it. Girls take things to a completely different level of cruelty." he whispered, shaking his head. It was true, but to see the look on the girl's face when she got up was priceless. It was a mix of anger and shock. Ally was by far one of the most reserved people in the school, and probably wouldn't be on the radar if it wasn't for the group. He shook his head and sighed, looking to Logan.

"Looks like we'll cover each other's backs for now and later we'll just eat lunch off campus so we don't have to deal with the main lot of them." he closed his eyes and gently tapped his head against his locker. He couldn't remember for the life of him what his combination was and began spinning the thing in the combinations he was coming up with. Nothing. Finally he remembered and made a mental note to write it on his hand for later.

"So, I really think we should all bail out half-day. I don't even want to be here... now." he yawned in between his words, but at least he was still awake, right? A few of the guys on the football team walked over to their lockers and Ryan just gave a small wave and they did the same back. Ryan had played football the previous year in attempts to get a scholarship in line for this year, but after shattering his forearm, he hadn't been able to play.

He looked to Edie. "Where's your first class? Mine's just art. They're making me take it." he stuck out his tongue a bit at the thought.

Ally looked at Logan when he scared off the people staring. "Thanks." she whispered, "Now you're a superhero." she poked a bit of fun at him, trying to get back into the swing of school. It was nearly impossible though, and how badly she just wanted to run away. She wanted to go into the music room, lock the door, and work on her song for talent night. Since the previous days the most she could get was a few edited lyrics to the ones she already had, but nothing else came. She was close to scrapping it and starting anew, but with the weeks ticking away she really couldn't. Not if she wanted to produce something original.

"Please let Mr. Tullner be sick." she mumbled to herself, taking her books into her arm and allowing her purse to hang over her shoulder. Inside she had her song journal and her musical score in progress. She was hoping that music class, her fourth class, would at least be somewhat okay. The choir was alright, the lack of male parts making it a bit harder on the teacher to get them into contests, and since she was resident pianist it seemed, she really couldn't produce her own voice.

At least she got to play daily. That much would calm her nerves, even if just a little. "Is it bad that I want something to go wrong with school, so we let out early?" she asked him, quietly as they walked to his locker.

Logan laughed. "I hope not. That's what I wish for every day." He walked Ally to her locker, then went to his own, sorting through the few books he needed for the day. He'd finished most of his important credits early, either by doubling courses in his junior year, or taking classes at the local community college during the summer--mostly to be out of the house. He took jobs tutoring where he could, though he didn't need the money. He just hated asking his father for it, though the older man had more than enough to spare, as he rarely did anything but work nowadays.

Logan hefted a few of the books into his bag. Tullner taught physics, one of the three classes for which Logan TA'd, though he hadn't been in a week and so didn't know whether their teacher would be there or not. Logan was also taking AP biochem, AP calculus, and AP world history. He had PE with Ryan at the end of the day and English with Edie right after his lunch period (with Ally and Ryan) and before hers.

Closing his locker, he turned back to Ally as they began walking down the hall toward their class.

"See you in English, Ed," he called to his friends as they left. "We'll bring you something back from lunch."

"It better be a huge something," she grumbled, though she was smiling, almost.

"You won't even be able to lift it," he promised, then continued with Ally.

"Here," he said, holding out an arm for her books. "If Tullner gives you a hard time, I'll tell him I was helping you catch up on last week's lesson, okay?"

Behind them, Edie was grinning at Ryan. "Those girls would love it if you punched them in the face. At least you'd be paying attention to them," she giggled cruelly. "I can hear them now: Oh, he only punched you once? I mean, that's great, but he pushed Megan down some stairs."

She laughed and hefted her bag over her shoulder, turning down the hall. "I have Spanish first," she said. "I guess it's an okay way to start." Edie's grades had never been as good as Logan's, but Spanish was one of her best classes. She had vague memories of her mother's grandfather, who was half Columbian, singing her lullabies in Spanish before he died. Edie wanted to get a job as a translator somewhere after graduation, maybe working with little kids again.

"Do you have any classes with Ally?" she asked, making sure her phone was on vibrate before she tucked it into her pocket. "I have second and third with her, but then I don't see her 'til the end of the day."

[Just sort of made up a schedule. If anything doesn't work, lemme know.]

[BeautifullyxMad]

[It's fine. I'll reply later. I'm in computer class currently. And this keyboard is really noisy. ha ha. What should be second and third period though? 0.0]

[DotCom]

[[Doesn't bother me. English, math, PE, computer, home ec, geography (is that a class...?). Whatever you want. =)]]

[BeautifullyxMad]

Alrighty. My comp is acting up so it may ne tomorrow before you get a reply though.

[BeautifullyxMad]

[Sorry for taking so long. I've had classes and I've not been feeling the greatest.]

Ally smiled slightly to Logan and when they walked passed Edie and Ryan, she gave Edie a hug. "I'll be sure to put some ice cream in with your lunch." she assured her. "See you next period." she waved to their friends and she looked at her schedule. Physics, PE, Geography, Music, Math, and English.

She was at least thankful she had Logan this class period. She honestly couldn't remember how she had gotten into Physics at all. Probably something to do with a placement test or something. She generally wasn't strong in that part of academics, but somehow she was in this. "You're going to help me though, right?" she asked him, looking at the book they were issued. "I don't have any idea what I am doing or why I am in this class period."

She couldn't wait until after PE, at least then her classes wouldn't be so stressful. PE was for the sole fact of she was always sick and had trouble with the units. She wanted it to be music class though. Really wanted it to be, and if she felt like she couldn't take it, she would run away from class and go to the music room anyway.

Ryan chuckled at Edie's statement. "I'll remember that." he assured her, but shortly after shook his head. "Not since my PE class got moved. Logan and I are in PE together. She's alone the last half of the day, but at least those are all the classes she likes, aside from math if I remember right."

He yawned and closed his locker, giving Edie a hug. "I'll see you later on in the day. Can't miss a day of painting." he waved his sketchbook that was required for his art class and sighed. "If you need me, come by the art room and I'll find a way to get out." he assured her. "Ally and Lo are stuck until next period, I'm not."

[also, sorry it's short.]
