[color=forestgreen]"Hey, dipshit."[/color]

The rude awakening was met with a hard pillow to the chest, followed shortly by muffled grumbles.

[color=forestgreen]"We're laaaaate, Kelsey. Get out of bed, shit, it's already seven and it's still a ten minute roll to school. Mom's gonna be pissed if she finds out we're late today."[/color]

Another pillow. Kris took both pillows and slammed them down onto the bed. She had tried to wake Kelsey up four times in the last twenty minutes, and she was not happy with being at late to their first day of high school. Knowing how quickly Kelsey got ready, they wouldn't get there until much closer to eight.

[color=forestgreen]"Kelsey, I swear to god you get out of bed right now or I will drag your punk ass to school,"[/color] Kris threatened, taking a pillow and throwing it down at Kelsey again. [color=forestgreen]"I'll just strap you to your skateboard or something. I dunno."[/color]

Kelsey slowly raised her head from the pillow, giving Kris the sleepiest glare.

[color=skyblue]"You touch my skateboard, you're fucking dead."[/color]

[hr]
Kris led the way on her roller blades, Kelsey following closely behind. It was already fifteen minutes to eight, and the two girls were just arriving to school. Hopefully with the carnival, nobody would really notice the two girls arriving almost an hour after they were supposed to.

The sisters snuck around to the back of the bleachers, staying out of sight until the freshmen were finished dispersing into the carnival.

Kris punched Kelsey in the shoulder. [color=forestgreen]"We missed the first roll call. Wake up on time tomorrow,"[/color] Kris said with a hint of bitterness. She wasn't too upset at her sister, as the day wasn't nearly as important as the start of classes the next day, but it was getting into the habit that mattered. Kelsey would probably be on time when classes started.

[color=skyblue]"Look, I bet we didn't even miss anything important. Chill out,"[/color] Kelsey retorted, rubbing her arm where Kris punched her.

[color=hotpink]"Shut the fuck up over there. You're ruining the moment."[/color]

The girls looked over to the source of the new voice. Kelsey smirked; she knew exactly who this bitch was.

[color=skyblue]"Hey, you're Jess Grossman, right? Is it true you fucked three people at the same time?"[/color] Kelsey jabbed. She had heard rumors that a new girl was moving to town over the summer; as any honest gossip would, Kelsey did her due diligence and researched the living [i]shit[/i] out of Jess. Most news websites weren't too helpful, but that's what Twitter was for. Jess' mentions were a gold mine for a natural gossip like Kelsey.

All she got was a roll of the eyes, followed by a puff of smoke from Jess' cigarette. She had no interest in entertaining this bullshit. She came back here after the freshmen were dismissed to hide for a quick smoke before dipping out. The three girls stood in silence for a moment, before Jess spoke up. [color=hotpink]"You two didn't miss shit, so get your heads out your asses, stop hiding behind these bleachers like fuckin' babies, and fuck off, already."[/color]

Predictably, Kelsey just couldn't resist throwing another punch. [color=skyblue]"Oooh, we're getting help from our new resident slut. Does that mean we're part of the in-crowd, now?"[/color]

Kris hid her face in her hands, before pulling Kelsey away by the forearm. [color=forestgreen]"She's literally just trying to help us, Kels. Stop being such an asshole and let's go."[/color] Kelsey flashed one last smirk at Jess as they rounded the corner from behind the bleachers, as if to say that this was a war that was only just beginning. Kelsey didn't get to see, but Jess' only response was a slow shake of the head, met with yet another puff of smoke.

[color=forestgreen]"Do you know anyone here, Kels?"[/color]

The shorter sister glanced around, scanning for familiar faces. [color=skyblue]"I... think so. It's hard to say."[/color]

[color=forestgreen]"There's a lot of people."[/color]

[color=skyblue]"Yeah."[/color]

[color=forestgreen]"Like. A lot of people."[/color]

[color=skyblue]"Yeah."[/color]

[color=forestgreen]"What do we do? We just gonna carry this shit all day?"[/color] Kris motioned to her roller blades hanging from her backpack by the shoelaces, and the skateboard Kelsey was holding by the trucks.

[color=skyblue]"Hell yeah we are. I'm not getting our stuff stolen from us on day one. Hold onto that tight."[/color] Kelsey lifted her skateboard to eye level and squeezed the trucks for emphasis. She began to wander off into the carnival, completely lost in the maze of people, Kris following closely behind in her sister's shadow.
