"Another day, another torment." Jeanie thought to herself as she exited her old Toyota Corolla. She looked at the graffiti that had been sprayed on the hood of her car a few days prior. 'Dork Mobile'. How fascinatingly original. Just like the culprit itself, who was an archetype of the all-American cheerleader. Unfortunately she couldn't prove Tracy Brennan had sprayed her car, and the school's principal seemed anything but cooperative when it came to giving the parking lot's security cam footage. Sure, one of her friends could hack the security system and get the footage but Jeanie would only get herself expelled if she got the footage illegally.
Summer was about to kick off and most students were eager to finish the last few days of school. Jeanie herself couldn't wait to go to science camp this year. She'd finally be among people who were nice and were on the same level as her. People who were looking to get ahead in life instead of just 'getting head in life'. How there weren't any teen pregnancies after Tracy Brennan's Summer Kickoff Bash every year eluded Jeanie. Or maybe there were, and the abortion clinic got a run for their money every year as well.
Jeanie locked her car and walked towards the entrance of the school, contemplating ways of staying out of Tracy Brennan's way that day until... BANG. Frisbee to the head, bush, leaves in mouth. Of course, summer got out the idiots and their stupid outside sports. Jeanie made a mental note to one day spit on Walter Frederick Morrison's grave, the inventor of the frisbee. Before she could collect herself and remove all the leaves out of her mouth one of the jocks yelled if she could throw back the frisbee.
"Yeah, I'm fine by the way thanks for asking!" Jeanie answered while spitting out leaves.
"Huh? I didn't ask? I asked if you could throw the frisbee back?" the jock answered.
"Like your college career, sarcasm is lost on you too."
"What?"
"Never mind."
Jeanie wiped off the dirt from her blue tank top and blue jeans, but a certain green patch of filth didn't go off. "Great." Jeanie sighed as she realized her pants was already ruined for the day. As she walked away the jock who threw the frisbee seemed appalled with her leaving the frisbee where it was.
She entered the school and walked through the hallways. So far so good; no Tracy Brennan. Jeanie greeted a few of her fellow outcasts as she walked to home room. Here and there she could see a few people read newspapers or look at their phones. That new mystery disease that had Chicago and the other major cities in its grasp really had been all over lately. People behaving irratically, attacking others. There had been one case in Evanston a few days ago, but for the rest it was virtually untouched. It seemed like some kind of rabies from what Jeanie had read.
Then the bell rang; school was officially in session. Just a few more days, and the nightmare would end at least for a couple of months.
