I gathered my stuff and walked out if the room. I turned around closed the door and locked it then started walking to my car. I exited the school and walked to my truck and got in. I put the key into the ignition then started to drive home.

I drove down Fairlawn road until I reached Wanamaker and turned right. I kept going till 29th street appeared then I took another right. Again I drive until the street Maupin lane showed up. That is my street. I turned on Maupin and four houses down on the right side if the street sat a white House with the address 2732 on it mailbox.

I pulled into the driveway and parked the truck then got out and walked to the door.

"Home sweet home" I said to myself as I unlocked the door and walked in.

I closed the door and locked it then walked over to the couch. I reached over to the tv remote of my ten inch flat screen tv. I turned on the tv and watched the news. An hour later the news was over and it was six o'clock.

I walked into the kitchen and pulled out a ball of lettuce then got out a knife. I began to cut the lettuce into pieces. I finished then went back to the fridge and got out some tomatoes, shredded cheese, croutons, ranch dressing, and sunflower seeds. I threw all that together to make one poor excuse of dinner.

I sat back on the couch and began to eat my "dinner". Another hour later or so it was eight and I was fucking tired. I went back into the kitchen and rises out the bowl then put it in the dish washer.

I walked to my bedroom and dressed into my night clothes. I slipped off my pants and threw them in the dirty clothes hamper then took of my button up shirt and threw it also into the laundry hamper. I left on my underwear and undershirt and took off my shoes and socks. I then shuffled my tired ass into the bathroom and brushed my teeth with my everyday green electric toothbrush.

Again I shuffled back into the bedroom shut the lights off and flopped onto my bed. I tossed and turned but couldn't go to sleep. I raised up my right hand and looked at it again flashing back on earlier when I had touched her hand.

I smiled and turned to my right side and began to drift off to sleep. Five minutes or so later I jumped up from my drift as the phone rang. I looked at the clock as I read one o'clock in the morning. I reached across to the lamp on the end table and turned it on. I picked up the phone and said

" hello?!".

"Hey Robbie it's Madeline!" Said the voice.

"What are you doing calling me at fucking one o'clock in the morning?" I asked rudely.

"I won't be here tomorrow I'm sick!" She said.

I sighed and said

" one the second day of school! Do you even have a substitute?" I said back.

"No can you take over for language art?" She asked.

"Yeah fine but what about your AB?" I asked.

"I asked Ms.Dillon if she could sub for my class and AB" she answered.

"Ok whatever! Just make sure your here on Wednesday because that's the day were suppose to give out anchor novels for the students to start reading!" I said.

She thanked me and said

" ok I promise see you Wednesday!" She said then hung up.

I turned off the light and flopped back onto my bed. I sighed as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes then tried to sleep again. I dozed off finally after about an hour and then got nice peaceful sleep. Until the alarm click rings in an hour. Damn it!
