Hard life?

Chapter 7 paige

It's is a Monday morning as I walk down the halls to my first class. I haven't seen carman which is good, but it could be bad cause she could be worst when she doesn't do anything to me all day.

"Hi Taylor " a familiar voice says, I turn a round I see Rex " hi Rex " I say quietly
" Taylor have you seen Matt, I heard his a really good football player and since I am captain I would like to see how he plays " I shake my was to say no he sighs and say "thanks anyway" I keep walking to my class and I was stopped again.
"hey tee" I know who this it Molly is the only person who calls me that.
" hey tee" I say
" Are you ok you sound down "
" Yeah I am fine I guess "
" No I know you tee you are never like this unless there something wrong".
She was right I was only ever like this when I am down.
" I just have a lot on my mind" I say with a frown.
" It's it because of your mum and the dance" this girl know me to well"
"Yeah" I look down at my shoes.
" lol Taylor if you want u won't go and we can have a sleepover instead"
"No you are going with pages brother conner if you like of not"
"But - " I cut her off
" I will be fine nobody is going to ask me anyway "
" no I bet there's lots of boys who would like to go with you but doesn't have the gut to ask " she say with the buggest smile I smile back at her and we walk to are class. we walk in and take a seat in the second row.
"All right class "Mr mc gowen says "today we will be learning-" suddenly the door flys open and
Matt comes in and says " sorry mr mc gowen I got lost on the way here I couldn't remember which classroom was yours"
"It's ok just take a seat beside Taylor there in the second row" he walk over and sits beside me Mr mc gown continues something about history I wasn't really listen.

When class was over me and mo walks out and we were stopped by Paige I don't think this will go well because Molly is going to the dance with her brother conner.
" Molly you didn't tell me you were going to the dance with my brother" she whines and sighs
"Sorry I thought you would hate me for it"
"No I wouldn't hate you for it I was surprize my brother could get such i nice and pretty girl"
molly smiles at Paige.
"So Paige who are you going to the dance with" I say
" I am going with jack Connelly who are you going with to the dance"
"I am not going with anyone and I am not even going to the dance anyway" Paige stops and stands in shock when it comes to these things she a bit of a party girl and hates when someone's not going.
"WHAT why?" She asked in a cross tone
" I have to look after my brothers and jody"
"Call a babysitter then"
"I can't do that"
"Why"
"It's kinda a long story"
"Well can you tell me after school"
"No I have to work today"
"Well I will walk to work with you and you can tell me on the way"
"Ok" I say with a small smile.

After school I walk to the front door where I see Paige waiting for me at the door I walk up to Paige and say
"Hey Paige "
"Hey tee" she called me tee she must of picked that up from Molly
"Ready to tell me the long story"
I tell her about my mum leaving and my dad never talking or coming out and why I work and more.
"Oh " she seems a bit shocked
"Well I can get my older sister melody to look after them if you want she won't ask any quations about your dad"
"Sure but I don't have anything to wear and I am not going with anyone and I don't want to be a third wheel for Molly or you and I don't really want to go by my self "
She sighs and say "ok but if anyone asks you to the dance tell me and I wills ask melody to watch your brothers and jody" she smiles
"Thanks Paige " I say it really nice of her to think so much about me
"No problem" I give her a hug and walk to work a run into the bathrooms to get changed and walk out into my bosses office and say " do you think I could not work as much"
"What do you mean Taylor" my boss Julie.
"Well I love working here but my brother Nick got I job so I have to take some days of to look after jody and the boys "I say.
"That's fine what days " she asks.
" My brother works Friday's and Saturdays so can I have those days of "
"Sure but that's when we need you the most because those are the busy days but it ok"
"Thank you" I walk out and take an order from table twelve.
After work i realise I haven't seen carman and her 'gang' today whixh is good I start walking home humming to myself when suddenly I was box straight in the eye a fell to the ground in pain a look though my good eye it's was carman she says "where you trying to avoid me today"
"Noo" I whine in pain. She pull me up harshly and doesn't say anything but she slams me against a tree lots of leafs all of the tree she lets go of me and I slide down the tree on to the ground and land on my bun as she walks away. I try to get up but I couldn't. I say still bot moving when "Taylor" someone's say in shock I look up and I say Rex. I sigh and he helps me up and says " who did this to you " I didn't want to say who did it so I just said "u need to get home to my brothers and jody. he looks at me and says do you want me to come with you o say "no it's ok I will be fine "I start walking and my eye is really sore and I can fill it swelling up as I started to come down the lane there was a shop and I went into the shop and bought a ice pack and put it on my eye.I kept on walking when suddenly someone taps me on the shoulder I jump because it scared me I turned round and saw Molly looking at me with a worried look.
"What happened tee"
"Carman happened"
"Do you want a ride home my mum is waiting in the car for me"
"Sure" I sa as we walk to the car I climb into the back of the car and Molly mums looks at me and sighs she know what I go though and she hates to see me when I am hurt. we drive for about eight minutes and I get out of their car and wave to them Nick opens the door and looks at me.
"Are you ok" he say looking at my eye. " yes I am fine I am sorry u an late I got Friday's and Saturdays off so you can work" I say as he gives me a small smile I walk into the kitchen and it the ice pack in the freezer and grab my school bag and start my homework.
