Here and Lost

Chapter 13

Awhile later I look at my phone and it's already 2:00. I decide to shop a bit more. About two hours and the rest of my money later I am satisfied. Spencer replied: so... We should hangout sometime :). I think I'll wait a bit to reply back though.
Dragging my 50 bags to the front doors to finally leave. I look out and the sky is covered in dark clouds and it's pouring. How can I walk 4 miles home in this? I can't call my mom. She's asleep and won't answer. I don't think I have any other option but to ask Spencer. This should be awkward.
Me: hey well I know this is a bit soon. But it's pouring outside and I can't really walk home. If you can't drive me don't feel bad.
Spencer: oh of course:) meet me by the food court
I head to the food court and wait. I feel so bad.
Moments later I see Spencer walking over waving with a huge smile.
"Hey, look I feel terrible-"
"Don't worry about it! I thought you'd never ask. Here let me help you with those bags"
He grabs my bags and leads me to his car putting the side of his jacket over my head to protect me from the rain. He first opens the passenger door for me then puts my bags in the back. He sits in his seat and starts the car.
"So. Why aren't you in school?" He says
"Why aren't you?"
"Who goes to school these days," he laughs.
"I know right?" We just sit there laughing as the rain rolls down the window.
"We really do need to chill sometime. I mean you're awesome, not to mention beautiful." He says keeping a his eyes on the road.
"Ha. It surprises me you say that because today I put no effort into myself. No makeup, didn't do my hair, wearing sweats," I laugh.
"Oh no, Melody you have natural beauty."
He pulls into my driveway. It went way to fast.
"So I'll see you again, right Melody? Beautiful name by the way"
"I guess if you really want. See ya later!"
I run inside trying to avoid the rain. I immediately run up to my room and shut the door. Spencer was cute, and very sweet. There is no way I couldn't like him. The thing is I will never ever get over Alex. Never. I love Alex more than any words can describe. He is the one, I already know. So unless Alex miraculously appears back in my life I'm screwed. I think Spencer and I can become good friends, but nothing more I'm afraid.
I go to my bed to listen to music and see that Savanna texted me.
Savanna: Hey! It's me Savanna:))
Me: Oh hey!
I have to say her and her boyfriend are the perfect couple, they are adorable together. I have to work on school work now. I get on my Mac and look at my email and see what I have for homework. I begin to work on all the homework from all last week and today as well. As I begin a paper for English my phone notifies me with a message from Savanna.
Savanna: my friends are having a party tomorrow night. You really should consider going...
A party. Never been to one. Never intended on it. Bad things always seem to happen.
Me: where is it at?
Savanna: Taylor and I can pick you up. What do ya say?!:)
Me: well why not
Savanna: yay!! Luv ya😘
Okay. I have to concentrate on school now. I'm a bit nervous if I'm honest. I don't know why I'm so scared.

I wake up at 6 to get ready. I was up until 3 trying to finish all my work but didn't get completely finished. I take a shower, get dressed, and dry my hair. I'm exhausted but I am going to school, for sure.
About an hour later Andrew and I head out the doors. Walking slowly Andrew tries pulling my arm motioning me to move along and I snap back. He should know not to touch me on these days. With everything I've been through I've never been as depressed as I am now with Alex leaving. I will never get better with this one. Depression has set in and is here to stay.
I make it to school. Through all my classes the teachers look curious to where I have been. But I act like normal. I try not to talk and I stay away. The bullying has seemed to of died down, which is good, because I would snap if someone said something at a time like this.

The day seems to go by pretty fast. School ends am I head out the doors. Walking down the sidewalk to meet my brother at the elementary.
When we get home I go to the bathroom to take a shower remembering the party I'm attending tonight. I really don't want to go. I need to though, I'm only getting more and more antisocial.
I get a text from savanna saying she's going to pick me up around 8. That gives me three hours, I'll be fine. I don't know what to wear. If I should dress up or just look casual. I decide to go casual because if nobody else is dressed up, I'll only embarrass myself.
I put a black tee and laced tights under my black shorts. I did my hair and makeup as usual. When savanna got here, she didn't like my "casual" look. So she took me to her house to "fix" me.
We walk in the front doors. Her house was huge, she obviously had money. Her bedroom was painted red with one wall lined with black bricks, it looked amazing. She opens double doors that to my surprise is her closet. She looks through her endless amounts of clothing and finally pulls out a black skater style dress and the top half has lace over the fabric. She tells me to leave my tights on. Next she sits me down in a chair and puts her finger by her mouth scanning my face. She puts more black sparkley eyeshadow on and curls my hair quickly. Before long we're all done and head to the car where Taylor is waiting.
