Behind the Mask

5.

Finally.

School has come to an end. I let out a long sigh.

Yes I know I sigh a lot, it's just what I do........sigh......haha I'm so funny!

I collected my books from my locker and stuffed them into my bag then walked through the loud hallway that was cramped with people and out the door towards my trashy, plain blue, second hand Ford Fiesta that was literally falling to pieces.

If only I could bring in my other cars! But that'd be costing my whole nerd façade so no can do. Before I even got to the parking lot, I heard my name being called and groaned.

Oh, the joy of being oh so popular..........sarcasm you ask? Hell yah!!

*movie moment* I fall on my knees at look up to the sky "Why! Why do I have to be so popular? Why are you trying to ruin my life?" *end scene*

I snort at my imagination, my brain is weird. Yes you are weird! Oh shut up brain.

See what I mean? WEIRD! It's just been a long day okay? Don't judge!

I turned and quickly side-stepped, getting out of the way of my best friend who was charging at me at 100 miles/hour.

I let out a laugh as she ran straight past me, zoomed towards the parking lot and came to an abrupt stop before she turned and stalked back to where I was standing..........and howling in laughter........like a hyena.

You know the saying that goes along the lines of 'having a unique laugh is cute'? Yeah.........that's a lie! If you ever hear my laugh, which is very unique by the way, you'd be running in the opposite direction! Seriously, I sound like a strangled cat being tickled......not a good combination!!

Oh, don't worry you don't just sound like one, you look like one too! I said shut up!

We started walking towards the parking lot.

"What's up, Jas?" I asked, whilst having a looney tunes moment where the bunny says "what's up, doc?".

'Beep, beep' haha the bird.......kinda sounds like a car! Wait what?

I snapped out of my day dream and looked around before realising that I was standing in the middle of the road! Well, that makes sense!

Yeah, that you're stupid!!

What is up with the negativity today? Seriously.

"Willow! Get off the road unless you want to end up looking like a squashed frog" shouted Jasmine.

I quickly ran off the road, shooting an apologetic glance at the driver, who gave me a very rude gesture in return, towards the safety of the school parking lot and Jasmine who had successfully crossed the road without being nearly hit by a car.

"Since when did I walk from there" I pointed towards the school "to here?" And pointed down at the pavement we were currently standing on.

"Since I asked you if you could give a ride home, but you were too busy off in Ga-Ga Land to answer!" Jasmine replied sounding a bit angry, but obviously as a joke............I hope!

I laughed anyway, as we walked towards my car, got in and drove off.
