Starting Over

Ch. 3// Making Memories

I left my house at 7:00 a.m. to be at school at around 7:30. I was in a good mood. So I wore my favorite outfit, did my hair, and put makeup on. For the first day in a long time, I actually wanted to go to school. When I got to school I went and sat right by Casey on the bleachers.
" Hey Grace." said Casey, in a low almost monotone voice.

" Hey!" I said.

" I didn't do any of my homework last night, I don't know what I'm going to do."

" It's okay, it's okay!!" You can borrow mine and just copy the answers down."

" No I can't do that! It's cheating!"

" It's okay as long as you remember to study them."

" Okay, but, never again." Casey copied all of my answers down in a rush. Something just wasn't quite right with her today. I don't know how to explain it, but she was different.

"Are you okay?"

" Yah, I think I'm getting sick or something." Maybe the flu I dunno."

" That sucks." I've only been sick like 5 times my entire life and I'm 13."

" I know, I threw up like 3 times last night, but my mom forced me to go to school." I have a doctors appointment at 4:00 p.m.

" Well, I hope you feel better.!"

" Thanks."

"No prob" Do you wanna hang out after your doctors appointment if you feel up to it? We could go to Shelbys Candy/Cafe ?"

" Only if I can, and If I feel up to it."

" Alright." Btw: if we hangout we can definitely study that homework you "cheated" off of me!!!!!" HaHa!!!"

"Haha ok I'll have to see about that." Just don't mention it in front of my mom." She's a Science teacher in Clindale University. She will kill me!!"

" I won't." Oh and what's your email?!"

" It is McfieldsCasey@yahoo.com"

" Thank ya, I'll text you my address."

" Kay.!" As I was walking to 3rd hour I bumped into this guy named James. He was a total hottie. I've obviously never had the nerve to talk to him. But he was sure something. I've always had a "little" crush on him. He moved here in the 5th grade, and ever since I've been planning out what to say to him.

" Ummm. Hello. I mean sorry I mean ummm hi?!" Sorry I bumped into you."

" It's fine. I should've been looking where I was going anyway." said James.

" Well c'ya around then, I guess?"

" C,ya , I guess.?" UGH! I TOTALLY just blew that. He's never going to talk to me again. Not in 1 million years! NEVER. I can't believe I said that. How stupid am I?! He probably thought I was retarded. Everybody already does, so I don't see why he wouldn't either. I definitely just ruined that chance to get to know him. He just totally dumped his girlfriend yesterday for cheating on him with his little brother. Which would literally suck. That would be embarrassing if that happened to me.
After school I went home and cleaned my room and studied For the tests that are Friday. I get a text from Casey saying.....

" Hey, sorry but I can't hangout. I'm really sick.

" Okay maybe another day."

" Maybe, it just might be a while though."

" Why is that?"

" When I say I'm really sick I mean, I'm dying."
