Unexpected

•2•

Next morning at school was the worst! Ashley and I had to present our project. It was about Mesopotamia and how Mesopotamians created their civilization. Worst topic ever. Anyway, Ashley and I had to finish one more paragraph because we didn't have enough time yesterday. We asked our teacher, Ms. T (also know as Ms. Trevor) if we could quickly finish. But instead she decided to yell as loud as she could in front of the whole class. Everyone stared at us and I could hear some people saying, "Ooooh!" I got so pissed of that I ended up yelling at the teacher telling her that she can't tell us that we're not allowed to finish. After that I was sent to the principal's office then sent home. As my dad came to pick me up I could see the anger in his eyes. But, as he spoke he seemed so calm. "I'm sorry Olivia was acting up. Its just that we have been having some trouble at home. But I think I can fix her up. Thank you for letting me know right away." The principal nodded said a few things then walked away. As I walked inside the car I looked at my dad. "What was that all about?" I asked. My dad looked at me angrily and said, "Don't expect me to be calm next time or, Olivia Hudson I will throw you out of our house! That understood? You don't talk back to a teacher! You hear me?!" I looked at him and nodded. The ride home was quiet. I couldn't think straight because of all that had happened. I was especially irritated by thought of my crush, Brendon who was probably watching the whole fight and laughing at me. Brendon was my biggest crush. He had green eyes and brown hair combed to the side. His nose was perfect and he was tall with abs. All the girls loved him so I knew I didn't have a chance especially after today. But I sometimes thought he liked me from the way he looked at me to the way how he acts differently around me then all the other girls. But other times I would think he did that because he thought I was a complete weirdo. I always tried my best to act cool around him, maybe pretend to be texting all these people or maybe talking to someone and start laughing like I was having fun. The problem was that this didn't always work. Once I was pretending to text someone and I tripped over a rock and fell in dog poop while getting a big scratch on my nee. Instead of acting like nothing happened, I stared to cry. And of course he looked at me and walked away. It was so embarrassing. But I got over it. Well sort of.

Once I finally got home I got a a call from Ashley. "Hey Ash." I said. "You won't believe it! Brendon was so worried after you left. He looked really nervous! And guess what?!?" She said excitedly. "Oh my gosh! No way! What happened?! Tell me!" I said back to her anxiously. I could hear Ashley take a breath in. "I saw him pass a note to Jasper, you know that fat one and I saw the note close enough to see that it said, 'Do you think Olivia is ok? I'm worried about her. She seemed pretty upset.' And then I knew I had to call you as soon as I got home!" I gasped. You wouldn't believe what happened after I heard Ashley deliver the news...
