Very Unexpected Relationship at the Wrong Time... Chapter 17

Previously...

It was Tuesday. My heart seemed to ache at this news. I've spent the last half-hour staring blankly up at the ceiling in my room. I know that I'm not supposed to be dreading about this, but I can't get over what just happened yesterday. It seemed like it happened minutes ago than 17 hours ago. 

 And then I said I was going to introduce him to Matt! Why did I do that? When it was so obvious he was so unwilling to, but no I was so stubborn and pushy that I practicly made him to.

I sighed as my phone started shrieking, announcing it was time for school. I simply just laid there and let the thing shrill and shriek.

Then came my mother, who snatched my covers to the side, and pushed me to the shower. Then minutes later as my hair started drying up I walked downstairs, totally unaware of my surroundings.

After I had finished my oatmeal and bacon I was out the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was like a zombie. Walking through the halls of school like a groggy zombie, but instead of eating people I was eating myself up. And alive.

Yeah, maybe I was exaggerating, but I didn't think so. 

As I started spacing out, Jodie nudged me awake and cheerfully said,"Arielle? Didn't get much sleep, huh?"

"Yeah. That's it" was my dull response.

I didn't look at them, but I could sense the stir I just created.

Seth cleared his throat and said,"So, uh, Arielle, are you going to the party? I think I am. Well, not like 100%, but its in between there. So, are you?"

I furrowed my brow as I really thought about that. I took a deep breath and said," Maybe. And if I do go I will already have a costume. It's like a faerie costume. Something like that, anyway."

"I think you should go. You may think I'm being pushy, but I think it will be a good idea since you seem like you need some fresh air and letting out. Like, partying until you get sick and just partying! How's that for summarizing a "dreadful" party?"

I actually smiled at the idea and I officially agreed there. "That actually sounds nice and exciting. So, I think I am going. It's like 2 days from now. Wait, woah! That was fast! Anyway, should we meet or like how should we do this?"

Jodie tapped her jaw with her forefinger and snapped her fingers in expectation. "I know! I think we should all meet at Seth's house 'cause it's the closest to school and we could go their like at sevenish or earlier. Wait, what time does it start?"

Ruby told her and Jodie continued,"Oh, okay. Then we'll meet at 7:30. Sounds good? Is that alright Seth?"

Seth nodded and said in a fake booming voice,"Get ready to see the ultimate Scream! And to get slaughtered in pieces my friends."

We all laughed and feigned horror looks at Seth. He just grinned and nodded.

Then Seth widened his eyes and shook my shoulder. "Oh hey didn't you say you were gonna meet up with Matt? Yeah, well he's right over there for your information." He turned me around by my shoulder and I spotted his lazy slouched beside his aunt and the principal, Mrs.Brewett.

They were pointing at us, well, actually they were pointing at me. I stared in confusion and then after a few seconds of exchanging some words they made their way over here.

Matt tagged along and had a half-smile plastered on his face. I smiled back, but my eyes were focused on the adults.

Mrs. Brewett smiled at us and said,"Hello Mrs. Martinez." She nodded to the others who waved. "I'm here to say that since you know Matt over here that you would show him around the school and how to get to his classes. I would really appreciate it and since you both know each other that you wouldn't have much problems in communicating. So, are you in?"
