Open Your Eyes Part I

Senior year

"Ah, you're back," V says as I walk through the door. She's sitting at her desk, writing something.

"Yeah, that was my only class today, so I'm as free as a butterfly for the rest of the day," I beam, going to the bathroom to fix my hair.

"Lucky you, I still have 30 minutes before my next class and then right after that, I have another class to go to."

"V, it's not that bad. You don't have any classes after that for a couple days."

"I know, but I hate school."

"You're such a sad sack," I snort.

"Oh my God, Tara, you're so funny." She's so unamused. I hear a knock at the door and V gets up to get it.

"Hey V, is Tara here?"

"Yeah. Tara, Brian's here." Yay, Brian's here.

"Come in!" He walks in and hugs me.

"Hey, beautiful," he greets, kissing my cheek.

"Hey, what brings you here?"

"I was going to ask if you wanted to go and get something to eat."

"Will it be pizza?"
