As the weekend went by, I dreaded school even more. I begged my mom to let me stay home but she told me I had to face them sometime. Ive faced them enough, and look where that's got me. I laid in bed staring at my ceiling while letting my thoughts take over my mind. I didnt want to see Sandra, or James and certainly not Amanda.
I dragged my sorry ass out of bed to go to the bathroom. I stopped infront of the mirror amd stared at the reflection looking back at me. She looked tired, confused, hurt and depressed. She was definitely not something I wanted to look at in the morning. I shook the image out of my head and got ready for school. I looked for one of my long sleeve shirts and a pair of shorts. I brushed my hair and let it loose, allowing the soft waves in my hair frame my face. I didnt bother putting on any makeup and headed down to the kitchen.
"Mom.. do I really have to go to school? Cant I be homeschooled?" I asked.
"Chloe, you are staying in school. Now eat your breakfast so I can take you to school. KEVIN! Get down here right now and eat your breakfast! We are not going to be late!" She shouted.
I stared into my bowl of oatmeal and took a few spoonfuls. I got up and packed my bag. Okay Chloe, you can do this. only one more week left before the 1D concert and camp. And then I can run away from all of this.
On my way to school I got a text from Amanda that said:
*Hey Chlo.. can we talk over lunch today?*
I ignored her. She kept sending me text messages and I just kept ignoring them. I walked the halls looking straight ahead, trying to avoid eye contact. I finally reached my locker safe and sound. I grabbed my binders and headed to history class. As I walked in everyone looked up and stared at me. I walked to the back away from everyone. They all kept turning around and staring at me, whispering and laughing. I slouched down in my chair and hid my face with my hair. Just before it got even more awkward, Mr. Chase walked in to start class.
"Good morning class! Sit down in your seats please. Alice, get off your desk, you're not a display please. Thank you. Alright, now I have some news about the trip everyone. Principal Carson approved it!"
An erruption of applause filled the room. Screaming and laughing, already planning what they wanna do.
"Alright. Now I am going to need forms in as soon as possible, before Friday everyone."
I sat there zoning out through the whole conversation. I wasnt going so I didnt need to listen. Class finally ended 90 minutes later. As I was heading towards the door Mr. Chase called out my name.
"Chloe, can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure."
"Is everything okay Chloe?"
"Its fine." I lied.
"Its just that you're so quiet and down lately. Is anyone or anything bothering you? You know my door is open all day."
"Thanks Mr.Chase but im fine." I lied again.
"Alright, if you say so. Dont forget to bring your form in before friday. Take it easy Chloe."
And with that I walked out of class to get my stuff. I didnt know what to do for lunch. I had no one to talk too. I grabbed my sweater and wallet and shut my locker door. There stood Amanda. She looked at me with a concerned expression on her face.
"Hi Chlo."
"Hi."
"I sent you a few texts"
"Yeah I got em'."
"Oh. Well, can we have lunch so I can explain?"
"Explain WHAT exactly Amanda?" I shouted.
"Well I uh-"
