The Perfect Beings

Chapter 2

 I was truly dead scared about what she was going to say.

She leans close to me and in a harsh whisper she says, "Stay away from me! I don't care if we used to be friends! We aren't anymore!"

"Okay I'm sorry," I said back weakly as she walked away with rage.

As I walk on to my sociology class I realize that Katrina is in there with me! Oh, no! What am I going to do I thought to myself. Maybe I should pretend to be sick? No! I can't do that, If my mom finds out she'll beat me. Okay, well I guess I'll just have to get it over with  and  go on with my day. 

When the second bell rings, Ms. Sky tells us we will be doing projects about society and she will be picking our partners. 

"Brooke you'll be with Celeste, Megan you'll be with Erin, Grace you'll be with Amber. Charlotte you'll be with Kristina" she announces. 

 Oh, SHIT! How can I do this!? I knew I should have pretended to have an injury! Why am I so stupid?! 

"Alright get with your partners."

Well here goes nothing! Let's just see how bad this is going to be.

I walk up to her as she's writing something in her notebook. When I sit down she barely looks at me and says with a faint whisper, "hey."

"hi."

"So what do you want to do for our society project?" she asks

"I was thinking about doing a project about prejudice in today's world."

"Okay, that sounds good," she said with a little enthusiasm, "Do you want to come home with me after school tomorrow night and then I can drop you off?"

At first, I had to think because I couldn't remember if my mom was busy that night, but then I realized tomorrow was Friday.  That was the day my mom went to the bar and wouldn't come back until Sunday, so I decided to tell her sure.

I came home and my mom wasn't home, thank God! I looked at the clock and it said 4:00. My mom gets home around 5:30 and expects dinner done. She always writes the food she wants on our whiteboard. Tonight it looks like she wants Chicken Parmesan, so I better get working on that. I walk into the kitchen and start boiling the water for the pasta. Then I  got out the frozen chicken breasts, bread crumbs, egg, milk, and flour and started to coat the chicken. After I finished coating the chicken,I saw the water was boiling. I broke the spaghetti in half and put it in the pot. Then I put oil in the pan and fried the chicken and  tasted the pasta. It was done, so I took it out and put in another pan with sauce and mixed it up. I flipped the chicken over and it looked done. I took it out and added cheese to the top. Right as I finished plating the food, my mom came in. Good thing I remember to change my shirt before she came home.

"Good thing you are useful for something!" she says with a glare.

"I hope you like it ma'am." 

"I hope so too, for your sake." she adds.

I wait for her to finish eating so I can see if there is anything left for me to eat. Fortunately she's in a good mood today so she lets me eat the leftovers. 

"I actually liked this meal for once. Finally you've done something right."

"Thank you ma'am." I said in a surprised yet monotone voice while looking at the floor.

"LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!" she screamed and took a step towards me.

I looked up at her and said, "Sorry ma'am, I didn't mean to." I was really getting worried now. Gosh how could I have been so stupid not to have looked at her when I spoke. Now she's going to beat me.

"WELL I GUESS YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFOREHAND!" she says as she walks up me and grabs my arm. Then she yanks me down to the ground and grabs my lamp and hits me on the back with it. Then she turns it around and burns me on my neck with the light bulb.

"THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR NOT RESPECTING ME!"

I don't dare say anything back besides sorry because if I were to cry or say something wrong she would hurt me even more. Just then she puts the lamp back, picks me up by my hair and slaps me so hard I fall.  She left the room without saying another word. 

I sat there on my bed and started to cry, and cry, and ended up crying myself to sleep.

*********

I woke up at 5:30 and realized that I slept in. OH SHIT! I thought to myself I have to get up at 5:00 to get breakfast ready for my mother who wakes up at 6:00. OH GOD! Now I have to make something amazing in a short amount of time! How am I supposed to do this?! 

I ended up making peanut butter covered toast and scrambled eggs with melted cheese. While I was making this, I also made coffee and poured milk. 

She sat down at the table as I brought the food out from the kitchen. 

"Here you go ma'am," I said as I gave her food.

"Hopefully this is good, I'm hungry," she said, while I made sure to look her in the eyes.

She ate  and then excused me, so I went to the kitchen and made a piece of toast, which is all she allows me to have.. I ate  my piece of toast and headed up to my room to get ready for school.

************

I walk into school and head to first period which is chemistry. Of course when Ms. Hemsworth says to partner up I end up by myself because there is an odd amount of people in the class. 

Just then the door opens, and in walks the most amazingly handsome boy I've ever seen. He had dark brown hair, with beautiful green eyes, and a light beard. He was gorgeous!  

He walked over to the teacher and said, "Hi, I'm Lucas Williams, and I am a new junior here." 

"Okay Lucas, I'm Mrs. Hemsworth, and you can partner up with anybody or group that you want."

  Lucas looks around the room at all the different groups, while I finish my work. I figured he wouldn't want to be with me. I looked up for a minute to look at him again and he was looking right at me. Just then he starts towards me. 

Gosh he doesn't know what he's doing. Bad choice! I repeat bad choice! Don't pick me as your partner! No one will ever like you again if you do that!
