HIGH SCHOOL GIRL

Chapter 15: Delirious

Lexi

Aurymar likes Zach. She totally Approved of him!

We had a blast and Aurymar and Zach got along so well that they were practically best friends!

I went home satisfied but it didn't change that little annoying thing in my head called my father. I can't deny that i'm scared. In fact i'm terrified.

My dad seemed really serious about sending me to boarding school. I really don't want to go, all my friends are here! I lived here all my life!

After i've changed and was laying on my bed and hugging my stuffed panda I got a text.

Meet me outside.

-Rick

Rick is outside my house? I get up from my bed and walk downstairs and out the front door. Surely enough Rick was outside leaning against my mailbox.

"Rick?," I start walking towards him. Rick had a frown on his face. "What are you doing here? "

"What? Not happy to see me?" Rick didn't say it jokingly. He looked serious.

"Of course i'm happy to see you; I always am!" I say this in a 'duh' tone. "It's just not a good time for me right now. There are some things on my mind."

Rick takes a deep breath and a flash a nervousness crosses comes and leaves his face. "I need to talk to you." He says. "It's really important."

I hesitate for a minute but then I nod. "Okay, real quick."

Rick takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. When he opens them he looks straight at me. "I like you Lexi."

"You came all the way over here to tell me that?" I almost laugh. "Well of course you like me, I mean were friends."

Rick shakes his head. "You don't understand.," He takes a step closer to me. "I like you more than a friend. Lexi I think i'm in love with you."

I am frozen. I am shocked. I am in big trouble.

Lola

I ask to work full-time at the mini-mart during summer. I work and work and start making enough money to start a savings account for a used car. As soon as I finish high school I plan to leave for L.A. As soon as I become famous i'll use my money to go fetch my brothers and Elsi and we'll all live together in a big mansion.

What a dream.

After work today I go home and I find Elsi with the kids. They looked like they had a fun time at daycare because they jumping around.

My dad had to be upstairs passed out or else they wouldn't be downstairs at all. Maxx was drawing on the walls, Marcus was jumping on the couch with Linus and Leo was being bounced on Elsi's lap.

I almost smile.

I walk into the kitchen feeling a headache coming on.

"What are you plans for the summer?" Elsi asks me.

"Work and take care of my brothers. What else is there?" I mumble pouring myself a glass of water.

"I hear that their teaching acting classes at the community classes." Elsi starts. "Its 4 hours a day for a week and there's supposed to be an acting agent looking for new talent."

"So." I mumble even though I know where this is going.

"I think you should go."

"How much does it cost."

Elsi hesitates before say, "$50 a day."

I snort. "Yeah, right. You and I both know we can't afford that."

"I think this may be a great opportunity. And we could probably pay for it now that your helping to pay for our expenses." Elsi explains.

Man would I love to take an acting class. And the fact that there's gonna be an agent there gets me really excited. But why should I even consider this? Any of this? There's no way I could go to something as expensive as that regardless what it is.

"Listen Lola, you've been looking more depressed then usual and I think this may be a great way to get you mind off... Conner."

I flinch and I feel my heart pinch at the sound of his name. Conner. I've been trying so hard not to think about him. But hearing his name out loud just makes me want sob.

I take a while to answer Elsi. Its silent except for the sound of the kids playing.

"Okay." I say after a while. "But if it becomes too much i'm getting out of it."

Elsi gives me a smile but has a look of pity in her eyes. I know were playing with fire, and she knows it too.

"Classes start tomorrow and i've already signed you up." Elsi gets a smug look on her face.

"Your so sneaky." I say shaking my head.

Angela

I feel really bad right now.

Its not that i'm nervous about the party next week. That's a whole other thing. I'm just feel so weak and lightheaded.

Of course I know this is a symptom from my throwing up. I know its true.

I still do it though. I do it and I don't care how I feel.

My parents have finally gave up on me I think. They stop scolding me and have gotten used to me sneaking out. They probably think i'm going through some type of phase. They have no idea that this is my life. Now and forever.

I don't go to the club today though. I don't feel I have enough strength for that yet. I think I should just rest and I'll feel better.

I'm glad there's no school. Even though i've stopped trying for grades there's still something microscopic that breaks inside of me every time my grade goes down.

I don't talk to anyone. I lock my door. And I sleep and be alone.

I haven't uploaded this in 5... almost SIX months! I know its been on hold for a while. I'm so sorry. This is the first book i've ever started writing on here and it does hold a really soft place in my... appendages. I don't want to say HEART for some reason. But yeah I know its been a while. I'm afraid I can't promise constant uploads because I MYSELF started High School. So yeah. I hope you guys liked this chapter. :))))
