Erica hunched at her desk. It had been a long day at school and it was nearly lunch. She sighed as she flipped open her textbook and reached for a pen and began to write.
The first three periods were a complete drag for the bored and tired teen. It had been a long week, everyone is prepping up for their end-of-year exams and emotions are running at an all time high.
After only breaking up with her boyfriend of a good 9 months a few days ago, her small clique of friends could stem the loneliness that Erica was going through and the gap that he ex, Mike, had left behind. It was Erica that broke up the seemingly happy relationship. The teen wasn't happy with Mike's attitude when we was hanging around other people. Showing Erica off like she was a prize, another point on his score card to boost his immature and disrespectful ego.
But even with her friends by her side, Erica still received the odd snide comment here and there by her rival and her friends. Aakarsha. Or Aki, for short. Aki was a teen of the same age as Erica, but that was all that they had in common.
Aki was a confident and strong minded teen of Asian-Indian descent, that was beautiful no matter what angle she was looked upon, and she knew it. She knew how to work the lads, and the ladies, when she needed to use them for her advantage. Aki wasn't naturally mean natured, but she knew if she had an end goal, she would do anything to achieve it.
Erica's relationship with Aki begun many years before now, when they were friends in primary school. But as they grew up, Erica was more interested in her studies and personal fitness, than Aki was with her socialising and being generally the "popular one". But even then, they were still friends.
It wasn't until a night when Aki slept over at Erica's one weekend, on a Friday night when her parents were away. The two teens had raided the cupboard with the alcoholic beverages stored inside, a cupboard strictly for adults, Erica was told. After a few drinks and some time had flown by, Erica was winding down for the night, while Aki had different ideas.
As Erica was near-enough dropping to sleep, she felt something soft push on her lips. Mid-sleep, she didn't think anything of it and continued to fall into slumber. But yet again, she felt something soft and warm push against her lips, and then... Something warm and wet, something spongy.
Then was when Erica quickly opened her eyes, startled to see that Aki had climbed on top of her, although not actuallt making any contact with her body, but her face hovered just above hers, eyes closed and lips ever so slightly pursed. Erica initially freaked, pushing Aki to one side and nearly kicking her out of the house.
The two fell out completely and struggled to even pass a few words to each other without Aki scolding her with her sharp brown eyes. Erica always believed that had Aki simply asked or talked about what she might have wanted to do, she would have been completely open minded about her. But the fact that she was kissing her as she slept, made Erica wonder how far Aki would have gone had she continued to sleep.
Today, Aki and her group of friends had teased Erica in the form room and in her English class. Thankfully, that's all Erica had to see of Aki until after lunch for one more period for the day. There were other pupils that Erica got on well with, and not so well with in the school, but Aki was her real thorn in the side. She wish Aki would have been different, or even just apologized, but for now, that was a wish not likely to become true any time soon.
Erica scribbled her formula into her book, as did the rest of the pupils in her class. It was Chemistry, one of her favorite classes of the day. It was just a shame she was so down when she started the class! Today was not a day of education, but revision. The class was half empty, and only the pupils who wanted and needed some extra study time were here.
Erica hadn't even realised the time before the bell rung, and she jumped, knocking some liquid onto her hand as she was just preparing a concoction of different acids. The liquid sizzled her skin, making her wince and twitch in pain.
"Oww, Jesus! Just the last thing I need right now..." mumbled Erica as she left her desk and rushed to the sink, and quickly washed off the liquid. The burning sensation continued, but that was to be expected. She tidied her things away, and lifted her rucksack onto her shoulder and made her way to the lunch hall.
She feels the burning sensation in her hand become more and more apparent, so she decided to take a quick stop into the ladies...
