My life as a surfer

Chapter 9

"There is no surprise Ms. Bondi that you did not complete your homework." I looked up at my English teacher just waiting for her to shut up.

"It is no surprise you love to call me out in front of the whole class." I hissed back at her. She finally walked back to her desk giving us time to complete a twenty page classroom assignment.

"Didnt i remind you to do your homework." Asher turned around and smirked at me, i felt like i was floating on clouds when he smiles at me.

"I just got distracted." i smiled running my fingers through my hair.

"Well if you need any help just let me know." he winked at me and turned around.

What was happening? Why is it when someone was a stranger yesterday becomes a person you cant wait to see tomorrow. I looked down and stared at all the words on my paper, not reading what it was saying just looking at the words. I forgot where i was and the image of the fat man started swimming in my thoughts. I picked up my pen and began writing my name slowly at the top left hand corner of the paper. I was writing but i wasnt sure what i was writing. Fear was growing inside of me for no reason at all, and it seemed like nothing else mattered. Before i could write the date i didnt realize that  this just might be the worst day of my life.

"GET THE FUCK DOWN." startled by loud deep voice echoing inside the classroom. Everyone looks up, and sees a man... a short husky man holding a gun that he wrapped his hand around pointing it at my English teacher. Shock was in all of us and we all sat there dumb founded. "I SAID GET THE FUCK DOWN." he shot up, not sure where exactly he shot but it was up and that bullet will soon come down. Everything seemed like it was happening in slow motion. I watched my teacher hide under her desk, students yelling and crying while they run in the corner holding each other. Asher stood up yanking me out of my chair and basically dragging me behind a empty desk at the back of the classroom. Was this a robbery? Why did he choose to come to English not math or science but English. "BONDI!" my name was called out for everyone to hear. My name spilled out of that mans disgusting mouth and what was i supposed to do. Asher looked at me confused and grabbed my hand, though it was hard to grip my hand because i couldnt stop shaking. 

"I have to go." i looked at Asher as if death was calling me to come out from hiding.

"No you dont." Asher's eyes were glassy and his eyebrows curled with confusion.

"OH BONDI." The voice was getting closer so i stood up. I watched him notice me. He stopped screaming and really noticed me. Slowly walking towards me he reached out for my hand. His hands were small and pale yet clean. He grabbed my hand dragging me out of the classroom. The fuck was i doing why did i get up.

The hallway helped my breathing as i took in deep heavy breaths as he dragged me through the school. I tugged back trying to get away but his tiny hands gripped my wrist tightly. "We are all tired of your games, we need to get this over with now." He yelled, finally i yanked my body as hard as i could and I  slipped my hands through his grip.

"Get the fuck off me." i yelled almost falling backwards. "I dont have your fucking drugs!" I stumbled backwards feeling dizzy.

"Yes you do, and im afraid you are going to have to cough them up or ill make you with a bullet in your head."

"Leave her alone!" I turned around to see Dax standing at a distance pointing at the man.

"Oh look at this little hero, go fuck yourself don't be a hero!" Dax continued to walk towards him, i wanted to yell for him to leave but i couldn't talk, i couldn't open my mouth even to save my own life.

"I will be a hero, don't hurt her." Dax ran towards the man full speed. The hell was he doing. When Dax was close enough he launched forward falling on him. A hand grabbed my wrist and yanked me towards them i finally screamed but when i looked up it was Asher.

"Go RUN!" Dax yelled while punching him square in the face.

"Cmon man lets go." Asher said to Dax. He jumped off the man and ran next to us. My legs were numb i wasn't sure how i was running but all i felt was my fingers entwined with Ashers and Dax's hand on my lower back helping me run faster.

At this moment i wished i had drugs to give them. How could my own mother do this to my life, she hasnt even asked where i have been. When we finally reached the street we heard screeching and noticed a car coming  full speed at us. We stopped running and stared at the blue van with bright headlights coming at us. I squeezed Asher's hand and Dax gave me a side hug. Why were we just standing here? Did we all want to die what was happening. I shook my hand off Asher and i moved my body away from Dax. Giving it all i got i pushed Dax onto the street scrapping his elbow. I turned towards Asher and pushed him also making him fall on the sidewalk on his shoulder. I felt bad i had to hurt them to get them out of the way but before i could apologize all i saw was white lights, i felt my body move around like jello against the hood of the van. I could hear loud ringing as i felt wet liquid drip down the side of my face. I felt no pain, but in my heart. My heart ached i just wanted one last time to surf the waves feel the silky water against my skin. One more time. And in that moment i have never wanted to surf more than anything in my entire lifetime.
