The Unchaste Punishment

"Alright, are you strapped in your seatbelt?" Leighton asks and I look at her.

"Of course I'm gonna get in my seatbelt Leigh I'm not five" I remind my bestfriend as I take hold of my seatbelt.

Leighton is a blonde, brown eyes and average height. She's actually a little bit taller than I am…only a little.

I've got ginger hair, I got it from my mom and hazel eyes.

"Do you have your cute pen?" Leighton asks.

Last school year, I bought  this cute pink pen with a teddy bear on it from Amazon and I've been buying the same one since. Everyone knows my cute pen.

"I do" I say.

Today is the first day of senior year and for the first time since the first day of Sophomore year, Leighton Reyes was up and out of her house at 7am. She wouldn't have been up at 6am if it wasn't the first day of school, she's never gonna be up this early till maybe the first day of College. We do this together on the first day of every school year.

We just finished our McDonald's meal in McDonald's parking lot and now Leighton is driving us to school. School isn't far from here and I like to be early, I've never been late for school in my entire life.

"So, on a scale of 1-10 how ready are you for this year?" Leighton asks me.

"Well…I'd say 10" I say and that is a lie actually.

Leighton glances at me. "Really?" She sounds surprised.

"Yeah, I mean why wouldn't I be? Do you want me to not be ready?" I ask and chuckle nervously.

Leighton chuckles. "No, I'm just glad that you're ready" She says.

"Are you ready?" I ask.

"Sure, I'm ready for school but not the classes though" Leighton says and we burst into laughter.

It's wonderful how we're opposites yet we tolerate eachother. Leighton doesn't like school whereas I love school.

"Don't worry, Rio and I are here to help you" I say and Leighton sighs.

"I am so glad I have nerdy friends, a sentence I never thought I'd say, but I am glad" Leighton says and I smile.

"Also, I can't wait to be out of these uniforms for good" Leigh says.

We wear uniforms to our school. Leighton's not the only one who doesn't like this, a lot of people don't but I like wearing the uniform. It makes you look smart, grey pants for guys and grey pleated skirt for girls, white shirt, grey tie and grey blazers. Beautiful, if you ask me.

Now, why did I lie earlier when I said that I was ready for today? Because I'm not ready for today. Before I go on, let me take you back a few weeks ago to when my heart was shattered into a million pieces.

It was a Saturday evening and Jaxon, my ex was having a party at his place. Jaxon and I started dating towards the end of Sophomore year, I never thought that the day would come when I'd have a boyfriend talk less of him being Jaxon. Jaxon Otto has a history of playing girls, infact everyone knows how he is so if Jaxon is flirting with you, know that he's not serious, he just wants to get in your pants.

So, I'm basically one of the smartest people in school. I only hang out with my friends, Leighton, Rio who is my guy best friend, Poppy who is a sweetheart and Carmen who is also Leighton's boyfriend and bestfriend to Jaxon. Leighton and Rio mostly, this is because I am not a social butterfly and socializing is not my thing. I never used to do parties or any crazy stuff then I met Jaxon and some things changed. I started going for parties often, I started drinking more, everyone noticed that I'd changed a bit including my dad.
