The Tire Swing

Chapter 4

-Annie met Dillen and we found out Grace has been in a coma for 2 months in the last chapter U_U-

The morning arose like any other, the birds chirped outside. It was an ordinary day. Annie got up at 6 AM. "It's time " She mumbled to herself, "And the first day of high school." She got up, put on her new dress, and curled her hair. 6:45 AM. Like any other teenager, she started going through her insta. "Oh, look, it's Dillen." She smiled. For some reason, she had been looking at his posts for the past week. Her face got hot when she saw a picture of him at the beach last weekend. 7:45. "Damnit! I'm going to be late!" She panicked. She ran out of the door leaving it open and forgetting her lunch. 8 AM, school started. "Hey, Annie," Dillen shouted from the other side of the hall. He sprinted up to her and started to cough, "asthma." Annie laughed right as the bell rang. "Let's walk to class together." Dillen smiled, Annie opened the door, hugged Dillen, and walked inside closing the door. 12 PM. RIIIIING! The lunchroom was packed, Annie still hadn't made any new friends, she decided to sit at the one table that had nobody at it. She grabbed her backpack and noticed she had no lunch. Just like every time Dillen walked up to her and gave her a sandwich. "My superhero." Annie sarcastically batted her eyes. "I know. What would you do without me?" He flexed. "Hey, Dillen! Get over here!" A guy at another table yelled. "Oh, who's that?" "Oh, that's just Michael. But don't worry I'm gonna sit with you, princess." Dillen smiled. They finished eating lunch but after Dillen was the only thing Annie could think about. "I don't know a lot about him, we should go hang out again. He is kinda cute when he smiles. I hate it when he calls me princess, but it's kinda cute. Do you think he'll go sit with those other guys? Nah." She thought. "Good evening, class. My name is Mrs. Linger I will be your social studies teacher this year. I would like all of you to go around the room and tell your name, and what you did this summer. Let's start with you, Miss." She pointed at Annie. Annie panicked and stood up out of her chair. "Uhm, hi. My Name Is Annie Grey. I have a sister named Grace. I haven't talked to her in months because she is in a c-." Dillen looked at her panicked, he knew that something was about to happen like she was gonna cry. The phone started ringing so Mrs. Linger stopped. "Annie, you have to go to the office." Annie ran out of the room thankful that she could make it out of there. She made it to the office and mother and father were there, crying, "Annie, your sister moved."
