BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEE-SMACK! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Harley groaned to herself. The shoe she'd thrown at the clock didn't work. Letting out a deep sigh, Harley pulled herself up out of her comfy den of blankets and pillows to walk to her alarm clock and shut it off.
CLICK! Rubbing her eye gently with a yawn, she turned away towards the door and headed downstairs for the breakfast she could already smell that she knew Aunt Jo was preparing for her brother and her. Eggs? Bacon? Hashbrowns? Pancakes?
'Geez, woman! You're not feeding an army,' Harley thought to herself, but the gesture made her smile inside. She loved her aunt very much, especially how she always went over the top to help her neice and nephew as if they were her own kids. In a sense, they kind of were now, considering she couldn't bare any children of her own. As Harley made it downstairs, Daniel shoved passed her and laughed when she stumbled a bit down a step.
"Not funny, Daniel!" she called after him as he disappeared into the kitchen. There was nothing she could or even would do. Boys would be boys, and if he wanted to act like a child at 13, let him. Who was she to stop him? Long as it didn't end in her death, she could care less.
Harley rounded the corner into the kitchen and saw both her aunt and uncle making food, Jo cooking the eggs while Rodney flipped the bacon in the popping grease pan. A collective 'good morning' sounded off from the both of them, and Harley smiled while returning the greeting. Not five minutes longer were they all sitting at the table chowing down on the morning meal before their uncle would go to work, Aunt Jo would tend to her garden and house chores of her own, while both Daniel and herself would be going to hell for 6 hours. I mean, school. Yeah, that's what I said.. Once breakfast was done and gone, Harley ran up the stairs and grabbed herself her clothes and a towel to head in and take a shower, which wouldn't take very long for her. After getting ready, Harley grabbed her folder and even though she was second to wake up between her brother and herself, she made it out to the bus stop first. They'd take separate buses, but they met at the same spot down the road. As the bus rolled up, Harley turned around to look for Daniel and saw a little spec down the road. She shook her head and mumbled
'Idiot, to herself, boarding her bus and smirked as his bus came to a stop behind hers. She couldn't help it, stepping down the steps against the bus driver's wishes as he called to her, 'Ma'am please take a seat.'. Harley hung herself out of the bus and yelled
"RUN, FOREST, RUN!" she laughed to herself and turned back, saying sorry to the driver before taking a seat near the front since the rest of the bus was practically empty but a couple of other students.
-LATER-
Harley hardly wasted any time getting to her homeroom, she'd hardly glanced at the printed schedule given to her on picture day for their I.D. lanyards. Mrs. Wiley was her freshman year English teacher and was super excited to see her again. The year before, she'd been known as Ms. James. She'd finally gotten married and was now a few months pregnant. Harley would make it a point to congratulate her at some point or another. The assembly took longer than expected, and Harley's boredom was just hitting its peak when Mrs. Wiley took them out of there and out to the football field where the small carnival put together had been set up. Harley had seen a couple of people she faintly recognized from the year before, but not personally. Besides Colton, of course. As sad as it may have seemed, she made it a point to stick by him once they left the auditorium.
Colton stayed a decent distance from Harley, not wanting people to think they were a thing anymore, but he stayed just in range to keep some civil conversation among exes to continue. It wasn't awkward, at least not much, to be hanging around Harley, but it did bring back painful memories of the time she broke his heart. Colton had remembered the Riley kid had waved to him before and turned to him when they all stopped at the field, nudging his elbow into Riley's arm.
"So, you ready for this 'last march' for us sophomores, man?" Colton let out a small chuckle, looking around at all the booths. The food smelled amazing, and Colton hadn't eaten breakfast for this specific reason. It was about to be chow time, that's all he knew. Hell, if this was the start of their
last march, Colton would willingly walk into the slaughterhouse.
