The Life of a High School Girl

Ch.2) Leave me be

Every day was drama, but Tuesday’s drama was big and it wasn't part of the plan, at all.

I know it doesn't seem that Tuesday would be the sort of day that you would be excited about. But there was a reason why my heart was gushing with happiness. I always felt that Tuesday should be the new Monday! I swore to myself that I would let anything ruin today. But for some reason I had a dream about Ben last night. What on earth was he doing in that zone, is what I wanted to question myself. But instead I...I..I liked it and was just happy he was part of my life, again.

I woke up and rushed towards the bathroom and began singing at the top of my lungs. I actually got a couple rowdy knocks on the door from my brothers. But that didn't bring my singing to a stop. I came out of the bathroom as if I were to be in a movie, all happy with the sun shining towards me.

My brothers exchanged glances and stared at me as if they'd never seen anything like me before. Now an introduction for my brothers. Loyd - Tall, thin lips, fit, and tanned. The eldest one, most mature, the most fun and he was in Boston studying in NEU (North Eastern University). He was here in Jersey for a mini vacation because Boston wasn't very far. I always wondered if he'd ever have the guts to bring his girlfriend along. Wayne - A bit shorter than Loyd, white, skinny, athletic, floppy hair. He was the genius in technology.

A bit weird actually because you would by no means ever see him just sitting there, staring into space because he has to have an electronic along with him no matter what. But he was pretty cool I guess, he would understand all my problems and he'd give me some rather helpful advice.. at times. Only because he'd been through my age and it wouldn't be hard for him to recollect what he would have done in my situation. Well, there had to be specific situations because afterall, I was a girl. 

I hurriedly got changed had my break-fast and was off. On the way to school I saw Izzie and Taylor. They’d walk to school together every day, Izzie waved wildly without caring if anyone stared at her. She would be what I’d call a daredevil, on the other hand Taylor looked concerned about something, she acted as if I wasn't even present at the moment.

I rushed towards them and asked what had happened, whilst walking to school. Taylor kept her distance from me, so Izzie was in between us. I gave the look of confusion to Izzie.

Izzie began:

"Taylor said she wants to keep a distance between you guys." she said quietly enough so Taylor couldn't hear us.

"What, why? But I didn't even do anything. She's always moody; if she thinks I'm going to suck up to her and beg for forgiveness then she's on the wrong track because I'm not going to." I growled.

"The thing is that you did do something to upset her." Izzie said as she furrowed her eyebrows.

"Honestly Izzie I couldn't care less now, I’m not going to let a dumb fight interrupt my exciting day ahead of me. Because I know this won't carry on for long and I’ll regret why I let something ruin my mood" I snarled.

 "What are you so excited about?!" she asked raising an eyebrow at me.

"I'll tell you later." I said with a smirk playing at my lips.

"Okay, I’ll talk to you later, text me." she said as shes scooted off with Taylor.

Sigh.

I said my goodbyes to Izzie and headed towards my locker. Whilst I was waiting for my business teacher to come, I'd been waiting outside with a grin on my face.

It then slowly began to wipe off....because only did I then start to realize what could I have done to upset Taylor? I then lost connection to the world and entered my trance world.  All of a sudden kids launched towards me, I was shuffling through the crowd hoping to find whom I'd been excited about the day so far. But he wasn't there, I searched and searched. I reached a point where I had to give up. My eyes went small and were filled with disappointment. It was all because of Taylor, she ruined another one of my good day. She always has to steal my thunder.  Worst part, I hate business.

Next lesson would just happen to be Math’s oh how much I enjoyed it. I didn't get why I needed math’s I was never intending to become a accountant or anything relating to that. I was in a higher set than Taylor but I never rubbed it in her face because that just wasn't me. I never wished for anything bad to happen to anyone ever. Taylor was in a higher set in me in Science and used to boast about it all the time it's like she did it to make my self-esteem level to go down.

But tutor-time seemed to take things off my mind. Abbie always took things off my mind. She was cool, popular and gorgeous! We chatted and made jokes about the 2 kids in class that I'd truly did not like.

Snack was so dull; I hung with Abbie instead of Izzie. Due to the fact Izzie would be with Taylor, obviously. For some reason I was good at predicting things like this between us three. It wasn't even something that I’d even bother to solve any more. Abbie asked me what happened; I told her we had a slight misunderstanding that hasn't been cleared yet.

So Abbie and I went with each other to our lockers and set off to our next lesson. We had English same old thing again. This time we were learning that Sherlock's daughter Portia falls in love with Lorenzo someone whom she wasn't supposed to marry because Sherlock was against this relationship. But she wants to be with him forever and ever. I seemed to have interest in this story for some reason, as I mentioned before. If I paid attention then I could gain knowledge. Why was it so important? Mainly because if I sounded smart then he’d most likely to be impressed.

Next was Science and we were meant to be dissecting pigs lungs! I was disgusted and so I went to the nurse saying I felt sick, to prove it I was even very pale skinned. And so I took a nap in the Nurses room. I was awoken to noise of kids running and screaming because it was lunch. Abbie was waiting for me outside the room. I was actually stunned, she wasn't with her gang. It felt special that she was waiting for me...because she wouldn't normally.

I told her I wasn't in the mood of History because my history throughout this day was pathetic. So we decided to skive last period and headed towards Starbucks. I ordered my favourite - Caramel Frappucino, extra whip cream, strong coffee with cinnamon as the topping along with caramel. Abbie had hot-chocolate.  I seemed so different compared to Abbs. I still risked going back to school at the end of the day because I wouldn't let a fight get in between me and Izzie. Like I said we were inseparable. But when I went Izzie was standing with Taylor. Izzie came up to me and said

"I'm sorry Silver, but I’m going to go home with Taylor to sooth her after what you did. I don't think I should leave her alone." she said looking really disappointed

I stomped away wanting to cry desperately, but as I passed Taylor I saw a bitchy smile on her face. She was doing this deliberately all along, how could I have not known?

But Izzie was innocent; it was hard to convince her something negative about her friends. So I did nothing, Izzie was constantly texting me, but I played rough and didn't reply to either of them. I mean after all I was terribly hurt. I wasn't going to leave the situation the way it is, I am going to get to the bottom of this tomorrow, no matter what.

I began to question myself, was I wrong about Izzie all along? Was she that blind that she couldn't see her best friend of 9 years drifting away? Could she not notice Taylor's cunning plan? I was hoping for him to help me, I had to get in contact with him instantaneously or else something bad was bound to happen sooner or later. Why did I need a boys help?

Because...because he was perfect?
