If age is just a number

I Just Can't Touch

"Miss Hart! It's nice to see you here so bright an early" Mr Matthews greeted as I showed up to the front of the school where busses lined the front gate "as if I had a choice" I mumble back unamused

I loaded my bag onto the bus beside Riley's before standing back and waiting with her until we were allowed to get on "maya..I was gonna sit with Farkle, is that okay?" Riley asked me as we stepped into the bus. I nodded "sure I'll sit with Smackle" I replied, gesturing the the dark haired girl behind us

I sat by the window, Isadora Smackle sitting beside me. Her, Riley, Farkle and I were like a group of four, we never interacted with anyone else and that was okay with us. Isadora was more like me then Riley and Farkle, she was more realistic and didn't live on a cloud like Riley tries to.

"Don't talk to me for this whole ride" she moaned as she pulled out her earphones from her bag and began untangling them. I chuckled, "only if you don't talk to me either" I replied, getting my earphones too. I pushed them in my ears, shuffling the playlist and waiting for the bus to start moving

"..Maya..Maya..we're here" Isadora nudged from beside me, awakening me from my sleep. I opened my eyes slowly, looking around the area outside the window to reveal a small lodge with lush bushes and trails all around, neatly mowed grass and butterflies flying around with birds in the morning air

"What the fuck have we walked into" I mumble to Isadora, unenthusiastic about the quieter side of life compared to the rush of the city. "I know right" she replied as she took a step off the bus in front of me, me doing the same just after her

"Alright guys! Grab your things, you already know your rooms so just go in and get unpacked, we are just chilling out today" Mr Matthews shouted to the group of 100 or so kids. I pulled my heavy ass bag off the bus and waddled inside with it, Isadora and Riley close behind me

"This is it" I say to them, reaching room 201. I unlock the door with keys we were given, pushing open the door to a medium sized room with 3 single beds and a small bathroom "I call the bed by the bathroom!" Riley shotgunned from behind me

I lunged over to the bed by the window, not wanting to be in the middle bed and chuckled when I saw Isadoras face. We didn't really unpack because there wasn't wardrobes or anything, we just set our bags in places where we could access them

Riley rummaged through hers until she found her makeup bags, yes bags. She sighed in relief, opening up the bathroom door to touch up her Victoria secret model like makeup. "Do I wanna change?" Isadora mumbled, talking to herself rather then me.

The same thought went through my head, should I change? I decided on doing so, switching a pair of jeans for some grew baggy sweatpants and a dark green Toronto jumper, leaving on my heeled boots to at least look like I'm not homeless

"Alright I'm gonna go scope out the hot boys" Riley squealed as she emerged from the bathroom "you literally have a boyfriend" Isadora stated blankly. Riley gave her a look before replying "I can look I just can't touch" she defended with a cheeky smile before slipping out the room

"I'm gonna go look around..you coming?" I spoke after a few more moments. Isadora contemplated "nah I might just take a nap to be honest" she confesses, her eyes not leaving the sight of her bed. I laughed humorously, leaving without saying anything else and making my way down to explore the rest of the lodge.
