How to Save a Life

Chapter 13

I sit in third period, math class. I hold my light blue pen and jot down the P.O.D. or problem of the day. My head rests in my hand as I try to concentrate. The busy work is algebra. I give a sigh as the bell chimes and class begins.

————————————————————————

I sit in the crowded lunch room near the back. I open my pringles and sigh. On the other side of the room sat my friends along with that blunt bitch I called a friend. Yes I'm still infuriated. I couldn't sit over there-I can't be near that. I slowly doze off to my thoughts without noticing my friends showing up until I hear someone call my name.

"Cass." Tre says, snapping his fingers in my face. I look up, a bit embarrassed at Tre and Armin.

"You look lonely, do you mind if we join you?" Armin asks with a smile. I'm taken aback by their kindness. I give a small smile.

"Sure." They place their lunches on the table and sit on each side of me.

"Why did you sit over here?" Armin asked confused. I give a sigh.

"Well...I didn't want to sit where I'm not welcomed." I say quietly.

"Jessamine's on the other end of the table...there would most likely not be any contact." Tre says assuringly.

"Tre, I don't want to be near that hoe." I say.

Ignoring the problems from this morning, we continue our lunch joking around until we had to leave. We throw the trash away and head out the door to be outside for about five minutes.
As we reach outside, Armin and Tre join the rest of the group as I walk alone, hoping nobody would approach me. I look up at the sky as I walk around, letting my mind wonder. The sound of my classmates begin to fade to nothing as I disappear into memories, thoughts and dreams. My vision is focused on nothing and blurs to a cloud. Nobody can reach me now as I enter my other dimension.
