"Stephanie pick your head up, bad enough you came late, but now your sleeping! Just great, open up your book and turn to page 77 NOW !" Mrs. Williams bellowed in front of everybody. Stephanie picked her head up and slammed her book open, she hated everything about the class, from the location of the room, to her assigned seat, the subject matter, but most of all that cunt of a teacher that somehow always rode her back about something. Today's lesson was about congruent triangles. But Stephanie's mind was far from that - way far. The previous night held firmly to her attention even with her failed attempts to shake it off. She couldn't help it, after all if you had been her shoes you wouldn't have either. As soon as the bell rang she bolted out the door and caught up with her friend full of energy now that she was out of class.
What she considered her friend others considered someone who had a bad reputation and needed an unsuspecting person to befriend and then ruin their own reputation. She came from a broken home and in the small town they lived in, a broken home meant a broken girl, a loose one, that all the concerned mothers in the town shunned their daughters and sons away from. But when your new to town and your mother's main priority is to provide as a single mother for you and your brother, a loose girl is the least of her concerns. But Stephanie wasn't popular at least she wasn't until she became friends with Julissa, then the same boys who shoved past her in the hallways became the same boys who chased her down the hallways and slip their number into the cracks of her locker. And of course she ate it up.
Her and Julissa talked briefly about what they would be doing after school as it was a custom that they always found some tedious thing that they knew their mothers, Stephanie's more than Julissa's, wouldn't approve of. After compromising on going to the school's homecoming game and hang out under the bleachers with a few of the boys from the rival team being that Julissa met some of them at a party in which she was the party favor.
