Simple

Our lives can be simple as we know it. You live, eat, love, and breathe. Everything is important because one day everything will end. Your life will disappear right before your eyes. We don't know exactly when or where this event will take place, but it is always sooner. It's unexpected like a pop quiz. You learn normally, but then out of no where you get a quiz. You freak out, but theres nothing you can do, you just depend on your knowledge. Same as death, you live and do everything you can, but one day you die while your whole life goes ahead of you, hoping you did everything you wanted. Then you're dead. Sent to another "world" or place. Depending on your religion, you believe in different places. For example, christians believe in Heaven and Hell. Well, everyone would love to go to Heaven, but some people just don't believe it. Everything could be fake, or real, we may not figure out...

The obnoxious bell rings as I quickly pack up stuff into my backpack. While shoving countless supplies into my abnormally large bag, Alex pops right next to me. "Hey Cassie, wanna walk to the band room together?" Alex questions. Without any thought I reply with a sure. He IS my crush right? YOLO it! I zip up my backpack and walk out of class with Alex. "So, how's life?" Alex questions with a grin. "Eh, just stressing a lot I guess" I shrug. He usually asks that EXACT same question, I wonder why he does. My life is full of stress if I think about it. Being judged by my looks, band, and especially Alex. I like him a bunch, but I'm not sure if he even likes me. "Well, I'll always be here for you Cassie", he exclaims as he pats my head like always. He gives me this feeling of assurance and hope. That's why I love him. "Thanks Turtle" I laugh. Turtle is his name I gave him. He's a great swimmer and he's cute and cuddly. We get to the band room and we go our separate ways to our lockers. I obnoxiously wait for some idiotic guy infront of me to get his trombone. Just an FYI, I absolutely HATE that guy for one simple reason. He.Is.Always.In.My.Way. Like get out of the way dude... My god! I have an instrument too retard. I laugh at my thoughts and he turns around giving me this questioning look. I quickly put on my resting face and grab my French horn. I turn around to see Alex behind me "Boo!" He screams. I fall backwards and hit my head on the locker walls. Before I know it, tons of classmates gang around me forming a circle. "Omg! Are you alright?" I hear from tons of girls. "Haha... Just my friend scaring me is all. Thanks for the help guys!" I exclaim shyly. Here's one thing you should know. I hate other people that I don't know/ hate talk to me. I'm just extremely shy as you may tell. Alex pulls me up while everyone leaves. "I'm so sorry about that Cassie, I didn't think about it through" he says shyly. "Oh, it's fine, you didn't know" I say with a smile.

After he drops me off I'm stuck at this awful place. The 5th and 6th grader Intermediate school. I wouldn't be here if my idiotic Dad would just pick me up. I walk through the doors pushing the small kids out of my way. My stepmom is the art teacher here. She's alright, I'll give her respect. I remember exactly when we first met. We wen't to an indoor water park when I was 8. Me and my "soon to be" stepmom were sitting on the pool chairs while everyone else had a blast. I didn't exactly know what was going on in my mind at the time. I just really missed my mom. While watching the crowds of people have fun, I asked her a question. "Will you be my new mom?" I questioned. I seriously thought she would replace her, I guess I was wrong. "Of course not sweetie, your mom will always be yours, she can never be replaced" she reassured. I felt a sigh of relief. I honestly did not like her. So now I'm here, waiting in her classroom to get this day over with and home.
