"She better fucking be ready." Brian pulled the hood of his jacket over his head, it had started to rain. He had stopped by Melissa's house, one of his best friends since elementary school. It was their senior year now, and he had been giving her rides to school since he got his license two years ago. Not that she couldn't drive herself, she was notoriously lazy.
He walked up her driveway, the rain was just a sprinkle at the moment, but the thunder that rumbled was a sign of harder storms to come. He raised his fist to knock on the door when it flew open and a very flustered Mel stormed past him. “I know, I know we’re late. Let’s go, everyone else is probably waiting for us!” Brian rolled his eyes, and followed after her, she was already waiting in the passenger seat when he got to his car.
He was in a rush, he had told Demi he'd meet her way before classes started. She was probably wondering where he was.

Melissa had slept in pretty late, and was shocked she had managed to get out of the door just in time. Her parents had left for the week, and no one was home to make sure she listened to her alarm. She knew Brian would have been pissed if she had been late. He hated school, but he hated being late even more. She was slightly nervous to see Mathew, they had had a bit of an argument over the phone that night. Just something petty. She hadn’t gone and hung out with the rest of the group during lunch, instead she had been studying in the library. He didn’t believe her, they each said some things they hadn’t meant.
She was worried he was still upset. When they arrived at the school, the rain hadn’t yet picked up, and it was still drizzling.
“There’s Matt…” Brian pointed to Melissa’s boyfriend, he stood well over her, and was much larger. Though she knew he’d never hurt her, Melissa was nervous and could only nod, as they parked the car and made their way over to the group.
