My Honest Observation

I open my eyes, from a deep sleep, to the chanting noise filling my room of my alarm clock. My hair is a mess and I'm still tired. I groggily get up and go to shower. I pull clothing from the floor to wear. Black skinny jeans, Suicidal Tendencies shirt and The Misfits hoodie. I grab a bra and socks and panties and make my way to my own bathroom. I shut and lock the door and pull my Black Flag shirt and panties off. I jump into the shower and turn on the water. I make the water cold and I shampoo and condition my hair. I brush it out and wash all the stuff out. I turn the water off and I grab a towel and I dry my body. I plug in the hair dryer I brought with me and I turn it on and blow dry my hair. I look at the clutter of makeup on the counter. My hair is dry, finally, and I straighten it. My hair is medium length and black/brown. I get dressed and i put my bracelets on. I apply a thin layer of eyeliner and mascara onto my eyes. I unplug my phone and grab earbuds. I put my phone in my pocket and the earbuds in my hoodie pocket. I put on my shoes and I grab my backpack. I walk to the bus stop and Bob is sprinting out the door as the bus turns the corner. He makes it just in time for the bus. We get on and Bob goes and sits with Gerard. I take a seat awkwardly, alone. I pull out my phone and I start to play a game. The bus pulls to the last stop and I take a peek to see who's coming on. A guy with a kick ass fro steps onto the bus. I hear a "RAY!" From behind me, in Bob's region. 'Ray' smiles and walks down the aisle. The only available seat was beside me. I tense up as he flopped down beside me. "Hello there." He grins. I look up from my phone, "uh, hi." I smile, nervously. Ray smiles back. "I'm Ray." He introduces. "I'm Lauren.…" I stammer out and Ray looks at my attire. "Cool sweater." He says. "You're into The Misfits?" I ask. He nods. "And a lot of other bands. You seem pretty cool. Are you new? Wanna sit with me and my friends at lunch?" He asks. I am taken aback by this question. People actually want me? Ray seems so nice and he's pretty attractive… I nod. "Yes, I am and sure, I'd love to." I reply. "Well, great! I can show you around also. What grade are you in?" He asks. "I'm in the ninth." I answer quickly. "Same. Our conversation was cut short by the bus arriving at Belleville High. I follow Ray off the bus and into the school. He leads me to the office and we get my schedule and ID. He reads my schedule. "We have a few classes together." He states. He leads me to my locker and I put all my textbooks in it. I grab my science textbook and Bob and Gerard along with two other guys come up to Ray and I. "Hey Ray." Bob says. "Hey Bobert." He smirks. I stand trying to hide myself away from everyone. Ray turns to me. "Have you guys met Lauren?" He asks. Bob starts to laughs bit. "I don't think I have. We kinda just have the same parents, live in the same house and we're siblings, never met her." He sarcastically responds. I laugh, nervously. Ray rolls his eyes. "Well,Lauren," Ray points to a tall, lanky boy with spiked hair, an Anthrax shirt and glasses. "This is Mikey." Ray points to a guy next to Mikey who has tattoos everywhere and is almost as short as myself, "this is Frank. He may be short, but he could kill a guy." I smile. "Nice to meet you both." We exchange greetings as the warning bell chimes. Ray and I say our goodbyes and we all break away forming different partnerships. I walk with Ray to science, well, he directs me. We take a seat in the back beside each other. Ray collides with a paper ball and I'm hit with a spitball. I rub it off my neck and wipe the spit off my neck. People giggle and mutter words, "freak, emo, faggot, dyke." I look at Ray and he shakes his head and we sit. The teacher rambles on about genetics and what chromosomes are in what and why it's important that the cell bases need to be with the correct partner. In the middle of his lecture, Ray writes something in my notebook, "hey, Lauren, what's your phone number? It'll be easier to text than to telegram each other." It reads. I blow out an excess amount of air from my nose at this. I wrote my number down and Ray puts it in my phone and makes a new contact for me. He texts me with his name and address for his contact. I add him.
Ray: Hey, Lauren.
Me: Hey, Ray! :)
Ray: This class is so boring… ;-;
Me: I agree. It sucks. What's next period?
Ray: You and I have a spare.
Me: Oh, cool! What should we do during that?
Ray: We can go get coffee or go to a music store, I really want to leave school property.
Me: Oh, that'd be fun!

We look up to see the teacher looking directly at us. "Something funny, you two?" We shake our heads quickly. "N-no, sir." I say. Ray smiles, "I second that."
* time lapse*
The bell rang and Ray and I get up quickly and we run to our lockers and put our books away and we grab our bags. We walk out the front entrance of the school and down the street to the café. We walk in and I pull out my wallet. Ray stops me. "I'll pay." He says, with a grin. "I can pay… it's okay…" I say. He shakes his head and takes my wallet and puts it in my bag. I look at him and he rubs my back gently. I tense a bit and I ask for straight black tea with lemon and honey. He nods and I sit down and he comes back with our drinks. He hands me mine. "Thank you." He nods and we tap our cups together and we take sips at the same time. My text tone goes off and I check and it's Bob.

Bob: where r u ? wheres ray ?
Me: Oh, we're at a café getting coffee.
We both have spares.
Bob: oh ok bye

I put my phone away and Ray gets up. I get up also and we leave the café and we go to the local music store. Ray and I look Suicidal Tendencies the albums for a bit and he turns to me and looks me directly in the eyes. "I'm glad I met you tkday." He checks his watch. "Do you just want to go out for lunch? The guys will understand." I nod and Ray texts the guys. "It's good. They're fine with it." He smiles. We leave the music store and we walk to a diner. "I have to tell you something." Ray sighs and stops in front of the diner
