Shit. Shit. Shit.

I'm late.

I'm never late for school.

As I'm running out the door with an apple in my hand I stop dead in my tracks when I see Charlotte leaning against the hood of her car.

Why isn't she resting?!

We've been over this.

"You're supposed to be resting" I scold as I stop in front of her which causes her to smile as she looks me in the eyes

"Whatever" she says with an eye roll "I'm so bored laying in bed, doing nothing all day while you're at school" She says as Carolina rolls down the drivers side window

"Get in, You're already late" she yells which causes me to gasp

How could I forget so quickly?!

"Can you drive me to school?" I ask which causes Carolina to roll her eyes as Charlotte laughs

"That was the point of coming here" she says before she walks towards the backdoor and opens the door open for me

I smile at her before I slide into the seat. She gets inside of the vehicle after me before closing the door behind her.

Carolina quickly reverses out of my driveway before heading down the street towards the school.

"You look cute today" Charlotte whispers near my ear which causes me to blush in embarrassment as I look down at my lap

I'm wearing dark blue skinny jeans paired with a cropped white halter top. I placed a light grey cardigan over the shirt since I don't feel like getting dress coded. I lastly have on a pair of low top white vans.

"Thanks" I say awkwardly as Carolina pulls up in front of the school

Thank the lords that I don't have to sit here and be awkward any longer.

Charlotte carefully gets out of the car before I grab her backpack and carry it since I don't want her putting any weight on her torso area.

As I close the door and look around us it looks like everyone has stopped what they were doing just to stare at us which causes my breathing to become harsher.

Oh god, this is bad.

This is very very bad.

"Ignore them" Charlotte says soothingly with a smile before she grabs my hand and drags me into the school

As her hand touches mine I feel my arm start to tingle which causes me to internally freak out.

What the heck is happening?!
