Emily Sanders and the List (on hold)

Chapter 3

*pic of Caleb*

Its been awhile since school started and nothing much has happened. I go to school, go home, do homework, then sleep. Not very exciting.

I still haven't seen my notebook. I know that Caleb guy has it but for some reason he acts as if he doesn't. Like what happened between him and I never happened. And every time I try to confront him he either is out of the classroom first or I lose sight of him. Either that or he is surrounded by his friends or girls. Being the lame person I am I don't interrupt them. I'm not upset because its my property and my art is in there. Well that is the reason but there is more then that. It also has my stupid bucket list in it. I know for sure when he sees it, if not already, then he will make me a complete laughing stock. And my status will go from dying girl to dying virgin with a pathetic life. I keep trying to tell my self that it's not a big deal yet I'm still stressing about it. Which by the way, is not good for me

I shake the thought out of my head and enter my last class of the day, English. Unlike my other classes, I don't sit in the front for English. Mostly because Mr. Edwards yells when he gets really passionate about the lesson. There is just a lot of screaming and spit that I don't want to deal with.

But its also because there is this window at the back of class that looks out to the schools garden. It helps relax me and take my mind of things. I sit down by the window as the bell rings and soon the class starts.

About 30 minuets into the lesson the door opens to reveal Caleb casually walking in. With out a note I might add.

"Ah nice of you to join us Mr. Reese" Mr. Edwards says, sarcasm clearly laced in his voice.

"The pleasure is all mine sir" Caleb says giving him the same amount of sarcasm with a smirk. Mr. Edwards gives him one last look as Caleb takes his seat behind me.

I didn't really pay attention to the class, I was to busy looking out the window. I soon felt uncomfortable as I felt someone looking at me. I didn't dare see who it was however. The rest of class goes by quickly and soon the bell rings. I stay as everyone leaves because I need to tell Mr. Edwards that I will be gone tomorrow. I have a doctors appointment to discuss my meds and plan the date for my first chemo appointment.

But before I could open my mouth Mr. Edwards speaks. "Mr. Reese stay for a minute please." Caleb slumps into a chair at the front of class. I didn't know what to do with myself so I just stood their awkwardly waiting my turn.

"It appears Mr. Reese, that you are already flunking my class." Mr. Edwards begins.

"Yeah so?"

"This is serious Caleb. Not only are you failing my class but two other classes of yours. You also failed most of your classes last year. If you don't shape up then you will be suspended from football"

"What!?" Caleb stands up. "You can't do that. I'm trying to get a scholarship, if you suspend me that ruins my chances!"

" then I suggest you study up" with that our teacher goes back to his desk. Caleb looks around the room until his eyes land on me. I stiffen and immediately look at my shoes. I hear him mumble a couple of colorful words then leave.

I slowly make my way up to the front. "Mr. Edwards?" I ask politely. "Yes Miss Sanders what can I do for you?" He responds looking up at me. " I just wanted to let you know I will not be attending school tomorrow cause I have an appointment. I was wondering if I can have tomorrow's homework."

"Oh of course you can dear." He goes through a thick yellow folder and hands me some papers. " how are you and your family by the way?" He asks sincerely.
