HAD SOME WRITERS BLOCK SO I'M SORRY ;)
~Chapter Six~
I'd never seen Paulo so pissed. I could have sworn the flesh was going to melt off his face. It was like it is in the movies when someone yells like crazy, all blurred flashing noises, colliding into one another so I couldn't tell what he was saying half the time. But I did hear this: "--SUSPENDED FOR A WEEK! BOTH OF YOU! AND WHEN YOU GET BACK I WANT NO MORE OF THIS! CLEAR?!" "Yes sir" We said in unison. My heart sank. This was going to really affect my chances of going to the IDA. Paulo left the office and slammed the door behind him. I put my head in my hands and groaned. There was an umcomfortable silence before Leo spoke up. "I'm so sorry, Roe. I should have protested and turned around-" "Please don't apologize" I interrupted "It was my idea anyways." Before he could say anything else I stood up and walked into the hall, leaving the door open a crack. I continued to slowly walk down the deserted hallway, I guess everyone had gone home by now. It wasn't that I was mad at Leo, because I wasn't. I was mad at myself. I should have known cutting class to avoid some stupid fight was a bad idea. It's not like Mac could have done anything while class was on anyway. Part of me felt bad for leaving Leo behind, but I just needed to be on my own. I'd been dreaming about my chance to go to the IDA for ages, and now I'd blown it. Tears started to slip down my cheeks as I collected my stuff and headed home.
When I woke up the next morning, everything came flooding back. Running from Mac, being suspended from dance, all of it. I felt terrible. I heard a knock on my door. "Roe?" I heard my mum say. I heard her walk to the side of my bed. "Time for- are you okay? You look so pale!" I guess I looked like I felt: crap. "I'm not feeling well.." I croaked out. "Well, I have to go to work and your father has already left, so will you be okay to stay home alone?" "Yeah" I said back. She kissed my forehead. "Okay, see you when I get home." "Bye..." I mumbled into my pillow.
I woke up 30 minutes later to a buzz coming from my phone. I reached out and felt around for it on my side table. I finally found it and punched in the passcode. I had one new message. I squinted at the words, still half asleep.
"im rly sry..."
I typed back, confused.
"who is this"
There was an immediate response.
"leo. gabrielle gav me ur #"
Oh my god. I'm going to kill her. My phone buzzed again.
"i just wanted 2 say im sry again"
It wasn't even his fault. Ughh I was annoyed at myself for dragging him into this, and annoyed at him for taking the blame. UGH!
"sorry squared"
"sorry cubed"
I typed back:
"it wasnt even ur fault, so stop aplologizing"
I hit send but regretted it about two seconds later. He was just being nice... I quickly typed another message:
"sry tht was rude...um and sry i dragged u into this"
Buzzzzz
"dw about it. it was the most fun ive had in awhile :)"
I smiled. I looked at the clock, it was 9:01am. Confusion settled in. Wasn't he supposed to be in school...? I started typing again.
"arent u supposed 2 b @ skool?"
Buzzzzzzz
" im "sick" :) i figured u werent going so i thot ud want sum1 2 talk to?"
Wow. That was really sweet of him. All of a sudden, I just felt tired. Tired of all this stupid drama, and tired of being mad. I typed back.
"aw thx :)"
Buzzz
"np ;) so, any plans? or r u free"
Hmm. My parents are out until dinner... They probably wouldn't mine if I slipped out for awhile... I smiled as I typed:
"wht didu hav in mind? :)"
