It's you

Chapter 3

"Nooo!", the bus has already gone, means that she was left behind. She sits at the bus stop, clueless. She hardly can think right when she's exhausted. She then takes her cell phone to call her mom.

Mrs. Johnson: Honey, why are you not home yet? Your sister is already here.

Stacey: I missed the bus. Can you pick me?

Mrs. Johnson: Okay but I might be late because I'm still making dinner right now.

Stacey: Okay.

Mrs. Johnson: Don't talk with stranger! Stay at the safe place.

Stacey: Yes, mam.

Mrs. Johnson is a full time mom and her husband is a doctor. Living a simple life with their three beautiful children, two daughters and one son. The eldest is Stacey followed with Alice, she is 12. And the last is Colton who is 5 years old now. Stacey loves her family as much as they love her. She is family oriented girl.

Her parents are close with Ashton's parents. When they were still best friend, Stacey is the one who always come to Ashton's house to send food if mom cooked it too much or whatever could make her to go to Ashton's house, but that was long ago.

Now, each time when both of the families held a party at each others' house, they would attend the party but keeping their selves distant. Their moms also get involved in their friendship problem, they had tried so many ways to repair their friendship but it was useless. In the end, they just gave up.

It's been thirty minutes but there's no sign of her mom will show up. She's scared because she never alone like this and her mom never pick her late. That's because she's still depending on her parents so much that she can't manage live on her own. She is a spoiled 17 years old teenage girl.

The phone in her hand is suddenly ringing. She looks at the phone screen, it's her mom who is calling.

Mrs. Johnson: Honey, I can't pick you up.

Stacey: What? Why?

Mrs. Johnson: The car has broken, sorry honey. I already called your dad to pick you but he still has work to do but he said it's almost done.

Stacey: He's lying!

Mrs. Johnson: Why did you say that?

Stacey: He always says 'almost done' but actually it's not. Tell him to be quick!

Mrs. Johnson: He's working, honey. Please understand him.

Stacey: Sorry.

Mrs. Johnson: Just stay at the safe place, okay.

Stacey: Okay. Pick me as quick as you can.

Mrs. Johnson: I can't promise that but you'll be picked up. Don't you worry, honey.

It's gonna be a long day for Stacey. It's like the time is moving slowly when it comes to waiting and that's the reason why she hates waiting. Even though many students are still at the school area, she's still scared because she's by herself. Not because she doesn't have friends but she's not a very socialized person. She does have friends. Almost all the students in her class are her friends because of her friendly nature but none of them have the bond like she has with Annie.

She's kind of well-known in school maybe because of that 'among the excellent students in study' title and she doesn't like that. She just like being an ordinary person who lives an extraordinary life.
