Chapter Five- Life Lessons.

A N N A:

My alarm obviously doesn't realize how I'm dreading today as its been beeping non-stop for the past 15 minutes. Honestly, I don't even feel the need to live anymore... I mean whats the point when you'vE GOT A drugged up dad, a mom who you don't even remember and no friends. No point right? I finally drag myself out of my bed and stumble into my walk in closet ( AN: Outfit above!) I pick out a suitable outfit and slide down the stair handle. I slowly make my way through the mirror in crested corridor and into the kitchen. I see mom standing in the corner tapping away at her IPhone. "Morning sweetie, how are you feeling?" She asks me, taking a moment to look up at me a caress my cheek. "I've been better." I sigh, managing to force a small smile. "You take it easy okay baby? Don't let anyone get to you and keep your head high. Khloe's picking you up today." She chirps giving me some words of wisdom. Ha ha, words of wisdom. I like that. "Got it, lets go..." I mumble. *skip the car ride* "Remember what I said?" Mom asks looking me directly in the eye. I nod my head and give her a quick peck on the cheek. I step out of the Jeep and almost immediately receive stares. I ignore them until I recognize two familiar figures standing by the entrance of the school. Cameron and Lauryn. I leisurely make my up to the entrance avoiding all eye contact but I can't help but quickly glance over at Cam. He looks... Helpless, I don't know. Somewhat guilty I guess? He looks at me, his exotic hazel eyes shimmering in the broad daylight. He clenches his jaw, open and shut. Shut and open. I look away feeling my cheeks become warmer. I guess they're back together. Just as I thought, Cameron's a jerk. A jerk who used me for pleasure. All those pointless years I thought we had something. Something special. I thought wrong...

Last night was the worst. I lost the girl of my life, Anna. You thought I was talking about Lauryn, right? Well, no. She called me late last night crying on the phone asking why I her friend would do such a thing and all the=at time I was sat there thinking; I should be in Anna's place. Ma and Lauryn got back together and agreed that we would put that behind us. I'm not even sure if I'm in love with Lauryn anymore; was I even ever in love? I don't even know what love is. I snap out of my thought and see Anna's car pull up outside the school and her step out of it. Everyone stares at as she makes her way past them. I guess Lauryn had written a really long essay on Instagram about the situation then. We make eye contact for a split second and then look away. Her eyes, I could just stare at them all day. She's never liked them because she says that she's got a small brown bruise which is hardly visible but unattractive. Bruises covered over them or not; she still is gorgeous. She walks past Lauryn and me; Lauryn shooting glares at her. The bell suddenly rings and everyone rushes in beginning to make their way to class. We finally arrive in class and I spot Anna sitting in her seat, looking down at her desk. I dodge around the chairs and take my seat right next to her. She jumps at my sudden movement but doesn't turn to look at me. We sit there in an awkward silence until her phone begins buzzing rapidly. She picks it up and types in her pass code. Her facial expression changes. Her eyes are stacked with tears and her lips are trembling. "Anna! Are you okay?" I ask, placing my hands on her shoulders. "Don't touch me!" She screeches. The whole class becomes silent. "Th-this is your fault! Leave m-me alone Cameron!!" She screams, her voice breaking and her blemished face being attacked by billions of tears. She picks up her bag and runs out the class grabbing a pair of scissors... The whole form turns and looks at me. I turn to look at Lauryn and she also is crying. A tear slips her eye. I walk over to her and hug her emotionless. "Right settle do--" Ms Vinclet shout but then lowering her voice as she realizes the class is silent. "Alright... Good, you have adapted to my ways." She unsurley. I take my seat whilst Ms V begins the register. "Rachel... Yes... Cameron... Yes... Anna..." She stops scanning the classroom for Anna. Oh shit, she ran out. She would never miss a registration though. Whats taking her so long? "Anna?" Ms Vinclet repeats once more. "Uh, Miss? Anna left the room just before you entered." Lauryn says calmly. She's smirking slightly because she knows what'll happen to Anna. She'll get a detention. "Well, well, well. She's just gained herself another detention. What is up with Anna? She was such a lovely girl just like a... a... Sunflower! Now she's just a--" Ms Vinclet looks around the room attempting to find a word to finish off her metaphorical phrase. " Pair of razor sharp scissors!" She smiles to her self. Her personification phrases are shit. No offence Ms V. Wait, hold up! Before Anna left she grabbed a pair of scissors, she doesn't go to art club in the mornings anymore... Oh no no no.

She's going to attempt suicide.

OOOOOHHHHH... Shit just got real. It's going down, I'm yelling timber!! Anyway what do you think'll happen. Will Cameron get there in time? She's been gone for a pretty long time though so it might be too late. I'll be updating probably tomorrow so you'll have to wait until then to find out what happens.

Baiiii xx
