My Everything//James Franco A.U

Chapter 2

Amanda's P.O.V

2 Years Ago.

My alarm clock was yet to ring as I opened my eyes.

I stood up to take my morning shower. I stood under the water for a solid ten minutes then spent five letting the warm water run through my hair and down my body , calming my nerves. Wrapping a towel around my body I grabbed my phone and played some music , I walked into my room and looked around for a minute then decided to get ready.

I walked towards the coffee shop so I can get one to go and rushed to school.Considering I had half an hour left I decided to take my time and get Martha. As I made my way towards her house she rushed out looking sleepy and out of breath.

"You forgot your bag!" Her mom came out and tossed her a black backpack.She took it happily thanking her mom and smiled at me. I handed her my coffee laughing as she happily sipped it.

We made it to school with fifteen minutes to spare.Martha is greeted repeatedly the moment we walk through the doors as I stand there on the side waiting for her to say goodbye.

"Sorry." She said after the fifth person.

"I'm numb to it." I smiled at her.

Our lockers were across from each other. Mine was on the left side and hers was on the right. We both had different first periods yet had each other for two other classes , science and photography.

"So" She lazily threw her arm around my shoulder as we walked down the hall.Laying her head against mine she waved to another person and asked, "I still don't get why you don't say hi to people."

"No one here likes me."

"They don't hate you-" she started to lie.

"I never said they hated me , they just don't like me . " I looked at her

She pulled away and gave me that sympathetic smile."I don't understand why though. Your're pretty, smart, nice-"

"No I'm not." I butted in.

"You have a great fashion sense!" She tried to lighten me up.

As usual, I shake my head and tell her how people think she picks my clothes and how everyone thinks I'm rude  just because I don't talk to them or reply to people when they try to.

"That's the thing you can't always shut people out." She groaned.

The bell rang signaling for us to get to class and I gave her a small hug. As I pulled away I told her,

"It took years to build the wall and I won't be breaking it down anytime soon."

Class was a bore, we were assigned partners and my partner assured me that she wasn't upset that I was her partner, but when the bell rang I knew she'd be complaining to her friends. I told her I'd do the project and stamp her name on it so she agreed with a smile and faked doing work the whole time.

Second period is always fast a simple , science went by quickly and although I didn't sit next to Martha it was always fun to try and learn to play a new technique each week .

The rest of the day was a blur, as for lunch was me reading a book from the library within the half hour.Waving good bye to the librarian I went to my favorite class which so happens to be the last.

English.

"Today's home work assignment!" My very loud and spontaneous teacher yelled .

I sat up a bit interested in what I have to write. In all honestly this was my best class, I love to write it's a passion that I've become very proud of having.

"The most amazing thing that has ever happened to you.Your seniors and this is your last year. Now this is it.Through out the years what was the most amazing and memorable thing that has happened.I want you to write in your journal your most memorable moment.It can be long, it can be short. It could be about anything ,anything at all. I just want it to be...real." She clapped her hand startling half of the students.

"Get started!" She smiled walking behind her desk.

I got my journal immediately, but was stopped short.I have no idea what I'm going to write.

That's when I heard my name.

"Amanda!" Ms.Diana called.

"Yeah?" I said quietly.

"There calling for you to go the principles office."

A low chorus of "oo's" was sang and I packed my stuff going to the office.

That's what started it all.
