see you at the strawberry field

B for Bitchy Westwood

The office door slammed close behind me and I shoved my middle finger to it. Ms. Young was ruthless and had given me detention for every afternoon next week.

"Aaarrgghh! Shit I'm screwed!" I yelled and sat next to Nathan who now had a smile on his face. "And how the tables have turned again! Karma really isn't on your side Thompson.", he said and laughed. I rolled my eyes at him and stood up. "Shit, I was supposed to get a prom date this week! Fuck, mum is gonna sue me if I don't go. Soooo Nathan?", I said and locked my puppy eyes towards him. "No way cowgirl! I'm bringing my date!" he answered quickly. "You think it's gonna last till next week, that's cute." I said and giggled. "Yeah we're done here." Nathan stood up and started walking away. "I'm betting you'll survive 3 days!!" I yelled after him still laughing. "Happy detention Thompson! And also, fuck you!" Nathan yelled back.

By 4pm I was finally done with my first detention and I slammed my locker door open. I blowed air put of my lungs heavily and took my french books from the shelf. The back of the book had two coffee stains on it and the letters were a little smudged. Suddenly a little yellow post-it fell down next to my legs. I crossed my eyebrows and lifted the note.

"eyes bright as the moon, laugh like a breath of fresh air. You always light up the room, I always look for you there." -X

I read the note over again and my eyeballs almost popped out of my head. What the hell, am I living in an american high school movie? This is ridiculous. I throw the note to my bag and head out.

I put on some music and my fingers wrap around on my messy headphone cabels. I hate how my thoughts go back to the note. Focus Aubrey, you don't have time to think about some stupid note that some middle schooler propably wrote to mess with you. Like move on already! I say to myself. "Look who's there!" I suddenly hear a voice and lift my eyes of my feet. It's Nathan, and... Lilith. "Hi, I answer quietly and take one of my headphones off. "Are you alright, you look a little pale cowgirl?" Nathan says smirking to me.

"Whatever Nathan I have stuff to do", I scoffed and started walking again. "I gotta go now, see you around", I say more calmer than the sentence before. "Okay bye then Thompson!", Nathan yells after me and walks away with Lilith.

I open my front gate and take the mail with me. "Hi." I growl and drop my things to the floor. "Well, hi sunshine", mom answers and raises her eyebrows at me.
Caitlyn/Mom: "So, late AND detention today, you're getting better!"
Me: "Give me a break, Ms. Young haaaates me."
C: "I'm just saying that I can't afford you getting expelled, It's hard to pay bills even now."
M: "I know mom I'll do better I promise."
C: "Well that's my mom moment, so tell me some gossip now."
M: "Like I would have something, I never talk to anyone, and nothing ever happens."
C: "Come on I'm stuck at here everyday, anything is more interesting than that!"
M: "Sorry to dissapoint", I raise my shoulders and grab the cookie plate with me as I head to upstairs. "Oh I almost forgot, I yell from upstairs: Nathan is now dating Lilith Westwood!". "Nathan is dating Bitchy Westwood?", mom yells back at me. "Lilith, mom, Lilith". I articulated back to her. "I know what I said sweetie", mom answered laughing and her voice disappeared into the kitchen as I closed my bedroom door. I take a cookie and sit on the bed with my diary, like a girl from a coming of age -movie would do. "Bitchy Westwood", I say to myself and smirk a little.
