Sunshine and City lights

CHAPTER 4 ---bad news---

Remember the time your first pet died or when you didn't get what you want? And you feel so sad you want to sulk all day, even for a week. Or the time you saw your crush flirting with another girl and you're so mad you could commit a serious crime of murdering the girl and your crush just because of flirting. Okay, if that happens, check yourself in an asylum. You are not in your right mind. Still if that might happen, your headline would be, 'Girl, locked up because murdering students who were flirting before her eyes. She got over her head and lost control of her emotions, she killed them. Test shows that the suspect has some psychiatric problems like depression, possessiveness towards other people that is not----'that headline wasn't nice as I thought it would.

Right now, I want to shave my hair.

"I never failed in Algebra before." I said in a childlike manner. I seriously don't fail at all, excluding this one. I usually get scores higher than C but never lower than D. Not to mention, I had an A plus, once, and I'm proud of it.

"Miles, we know you don't fail." Susie said, trying to console me.

"Says the girl who never failed before." I indicated.

"I did too! Failed in---"

"Girls, nobody cares if failed or not because we all do." Keanne interrupted.

"That's because you're used to it. I'm not. Damn, if mom saw this I'll be banned from using my phone." I shrugged. "I just love my phone to much."

So I had a plan in mind that should actually work. I mean could. I would hide this deep inside my locker before I go home and forget all about it. Until dinner interrogation starts. I won't mention any test coming or scores but if mom asks simply nod it away. That sounds good.

"We all love our phone." Susie stated.

We made our way through the locker areas which was full of teenagers storming out heading to the cafeteria for lunch. Some were blocking our way, some were stepping on our foot, not even saying a 'sorry' after and some were just shoving their tongues in each others throats. PDA much? Get a room!

"I guess Mindy and Carter made up after all. They look so disgusting right now." Keanne said, appearing beside me.

They were like making out beside the lockers near the teacher's lounge, which they don't seem to care. It was a very alarming sight to see since you are going to pass by them if you want to go to the cafeteria.

It also hurts to see that your first crush since elementary is kissing the enemy. Shocking isn't it, me having a crush on a guy like him, perfect and all, while I'm not. I was the opposite of everything back then but now I'm......somewhere in the middle. I used to dream being with Carter. Being his one and only girl, even marrying him was the weird part of my dream. I used to create scenarios in my head that will never happen in real life. Nevertheless, I have moved on. Crush on Carter my ass, dude.

"Would please stop staring at them and move?!" my BFF said.

"I was not! I just zoned out a bit that's all." I explained.

"Sure you did. Now let's go." Susie said.

"We'll be waiting for you!" Susie yelled.

"At the library!" Keanne added.

"Yeah, got it!" I hollered back.

Free period is when we girls hangout and bond. Sadly, our location is the library. Its still fun somehow though we need to keep our voices down.

I went to straight to my locker for some reason. To hide my big, fat F and avoid my mom's fury. Also grab some notebooks I need for next class.

021399 - Yes! I still remember it. I still remember my locker combination. Happy, I fist-pump in the air. Too bad I'm not at my locker place yet. You see, mines kind of near the lobby and that far from the cafeteria and library, which is at the second floor. It's a long journey, I know.
