I finally went to school the day before Valentine's Day. Why couldn't I have gone to school after Valentine's Day?
The school called home and asked for me to come to school.
That day, I got out of bed and put my hair in a messy bun. While walking to school, I got a call from jace and he asked where I was.
"I'm on my way to school." I said.
"Good, now turn around." He said.
I turned around and I saw him about a block away.
"And you couldn't have walked to me?" I said smiling.
"But that would just kill my romantic ways." He said walking up to me and kissing me.
We walked into school together and everybody was looking at me.
I guess everyone knew that my mom died.

"Why is everyone staring?" I still decided to ask even though I already knew why.
"I don't know." Jace said.
Then we went separate ways to class.

During lunch, I sat with everyone.
Me, jace, Sarah, Aran, Harry, and Bree.
"It seems like so long that you've been here in this cafeteria." Sarah said.
"I know.." I said sighing happily.
I thought this would have been a miserable day but it wasn't, I was never happier to be back in school before.
Of course I was behind on a lot of assignments but I'll do it all.
After lunch was English, my worst subject.
"Ms. Peterson." My English teacher said as I was trying to take my seat.
"Hello mr. Mitchell." I waved.
"Can I have a word with you?"
"Sure." I said.
"You have missed a lot because of your absences." He said adjusting his glasses.
"I'm afraid if you don't get them all done, I'm gonna have to fail you. You're a bright student, care to tell me what's going on?" He asked.
"I'll do it." I said shaking at the thought of not graduating with my friends.
"Here is all that you missed." he said handing me a pile of work.
I went back to my seat looking at the work.
Two essays, short responses, other assignments and a project. Due next week right before midwinter recess.
Great.

When I got home, I went strait to my room and locked the door. I was really desperate to not fail.
By the end of the night, I finished the essays and six of the assignments. Before I could finish with the last sentence of the assignment, I fell into a dreamless sleep.
I was woken with a knock on my door.
"Hey maya, it's me." I heard.
When I opened the door, it was jace.
"Busy with hw?" he asked me.
"Yeah." I said in a sleepy voice.
I took a break and sat next to jace.
"So, you've been busy these days.." Jace said.
"Yeah, with my moms death, hw, and my job, I don't have time to do anything." I said.
"I know, but what about now? Your free right?" He asked.
"Well I was taking a nap." I said.
Jace got up and gave me his hand and led me downstairs.
There was food on the tables and my dad was setting it all up.
"Jace was so nice to get us dinner today honey." My dad said.
"Aww your so sweet." I said kissing him.
"Please not in front of me." My dad said embarrassed.
"Fine." I said.

After dinner, jace left and I went back to my room to finish my assignment.
Before I could finish, I got a call from Sarah.
"Girl, what do you say about going camping during the break?" Sarah said excitedly.
"Oh my god!! Your kidding right!!" I shrieked.
The last time I went camping was when I was 11.
"So who's going?" I asked.
Me, Aran, Harry, Bree, you and you could bring jace if you want.
"SUREE!!" I said.
Camping would be a great way to give my mind a break.

After we finished talking, I finally finished the last sentence. I finished this faster than I had expected. Now I just needed to finish the project.

(This chapter was kinda boring to write but whatever. Byee)
