Title: How to Get a Good Locker
Summary: After English Alex, Lily, Ryan and Talon talk about their lockers.
"Where is your locker?" Lily asked as they exited English together. They all different classes now but were all heading down to the first floor classrooms.
"The English hallway," Talon answered with a sigh. It was one of the worst places to have a locker. The hall was always busy due to the fact that all the students had to take at least one English class throughout high school. That led to constantly full classrooms and always busy hallways between classes.
"Guess you won't be going there much," Ryan said sympathetically.
"Not except for lunch," Talon said and then added, "Or if I'm late for class."
They all laughed before Alex answered the original question, "I'm in the east hallway on the third floor."
"How is it?" Talon asked as the opened the door to the staircase.
"Not busy but the lockers are so fucking small," Alex said. "I'm just going to share with Romeo. His is in the foyer again."
"Lucky," talon said wistfully.
"Mine's in the east wing on the first floor," Ryan said. "It could be worse. I have classes down there and its not that busy. Not as bad as the English hallway at least."
"I'm never going to hear the end of this am I?" Talon said, glaring.
"Nope."
"Well its not like I chose the damn thing."
"That's what they all say," Ryan teased.
"Where is yours Lily?" Alex asked. attempting to distract Ryan and Talon.
"Mine's in the foyer as well," Lily said, smirking at the boys.
"Lucky bitch," Talon muttered.
"How the hell did you manage that? They're for the grade twelve's normally," Ryan asked.
"Flirted with the guy working the locker assignment desk on registration day," Lily said. "See you guys later."
She took a left turn once they reached the bottom of the stairs and the boys went right.
"Sometimes she still surprises me," Alex said with a shake of the head.
"She surprises everyone," Ryan said. "See you at lunch."
Ryan went into the classroom with a wave goodbye to his friends. Talon and Alex quickly separated as they got to their respective classrooms.
