Suspicious Acts

I was running, running away from my destiny. I no longer wanted to go to the school of my dreams, I wanted to run off with my one true love and never look back. That was absurd! why would I ever do that? I would ruin my life and hurt my family at the same time. I needed to hold back these immense feelings. Every second I did I felt a little closer to bursting at the seams. My life wasn't in order, I felt out of place everywhere i went. It was like i was the ugly duckling and around every corner I turn people look and stare at how odd I am and talk about me when I am not looking. When i was around Dean my heart would pound and I would feel like a swan instead of the ugly duckling I have become. Believe me I am nothing special. Why Dean picked me was a mystery. He was so handsome and kind, not like most boys who were cruel and ridiculed me. He would carry my books to class and eat with me at lunch when no one else would. He was a true savor to me when I needed him the most. Now when I think about going to college twenty-thousand miles away, I can't even imagine how hard it will be with out him by my side. I can barley make it a day without him, I can't imagine four years. Surely when I am out of his life another will come and sweep him off his feet. The thought of another in his arms tore me apart.

'I need to get out of here!' i thought to myself.

I stood up out of my seat and walked out of the muggy classroom. Soon after the teacher stuck his head out the door.

"Annaliese, are you alright?"

I looked up slightly and shrugged my arms. "I am fine Mr.Doughier, just needed some air."

"It is awfully hot in there."

"You have no idea.' i mumbled under my breathe.

" Well when you are ready to come back in just knock on the door first."

I just nodded my head and sunk back against the wall letting the coolness of it extinguish the burning thoughts from my brain. I let out a loud sigh and stood up to walk the halls no longer pleased with just sitting there. I walked into the bathroom and splashed cold water onto my face feeling instant relief. I grabbed a paper towel and dabbed it on my face taking way longer then i needed to. I threw away the paper towel and emerged into the hall again. Walking with my head glued to the floor i worked my way to the end of the building. Finally I looked straight ahead but only to put it down again when I saw Dean. He had his arms around a skinny waist that was to small to be healthy. He was kissing the girl hard and urgently like he had something to prove. A single tear escaped my eye and dropped to the floor.
