The Life of a High School Girl

Ch.7) Confusion

It's finally Sunday and it's my birthday. I feel so alone, but yet I want to keep going I don't want to turn back and regret my decision because I know what the consequences are. For some reason I had something from keeping me from going back.

I think it was Abbie mainly, but I missed Taylor and Izzie, and Ben. I couldn't even risk calling them or texting them because then they'd know where I was. Life truly sucks at the moment. I want to runaway where I can decide who I want with me and who I don't. I want my mother so bad. Will she ever come looking for me?  I know I can go back because running away is such a stupid and mental thing to do, but I just need a break, you know?

Every time a good thought comes to my head. I begin to smile. But it simply fades away within seconds.

I realised how much it would suck to be an adult. I would hate to live by myself and work. With no family. My eyes opened in shock and I began shaking my head.

I can't even leave my room because the person whom I'd saw at the store just happened to be Ben. I mean what the heck was he even doing here? No wonder he wasn't in school for a week.

I didn't tell anyone where or if I was even intending of going somewhere. I didn't know myself where I was going... Maybe it’s just a coincidence? Did he feel something for me? Or did he just happen to be here?

So many questions! I keep staring into space like the wall would give me an answer. I ruffled my hair and thought maybe I should just grow up, stop questioning myself and go up to him and ask him casually what exactly he is doing here?

Or will that be a mistake? I don't know and couldn't care less, I mean if anyone else finds out I’ll know he told and that way I could see if he is trustworthy or not. I’m so confused! Ah. Whatever. It's now or never.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He just happened to be here because his grandma wasn't feeling well. I didn't ask him but I did ask my new friend who works at the shop, guess who? Harry, obviously. I didn't even hear half of his story because I was lost in his uniquely grey-turquoise eyes and his blonde hair kept distracting me. It's like I can tell him anything because he seems to understand my problems. I'm safe now, Ben only came for a short-term visit and is leaving tomorrow morning. He lives around the corner...I hope he didn't see me.

I think he noticed because every time I went to trance land he'd smirk a bit.

But I did make a new friend at work and her name was Hayley, she was so nice. She wasn’t wealthy and she understood all my problems and promised to support me in my circumstances. She was quite a bimbo though but all the guys happened to fancy her. Which was actually not that surprising considering she had dark brown wavy hair, turquoise-green eyes and a tanned complexion.

Her part time job was modeling and she worked at the cupcake store too! This city was full of struggling young kids. But her parents were rich…she just wanted to stand up on her own feet because she felt that she was already a burden on them, she was 17. But she was leaving to the UK tomorrow because the local schools there are much better and she doesn’t have to pay for them.

Guess friends is just not written in my destiny, eh?

The best part of my job was that the owner was an old woman, whenever I saw her she always reminded me of my grandmother. She would always smile at me the way gramma did and she had that spark in her eyes.

But she seriously was really nice, especially to me. Somehow she found out that I was in a bad situation and she told me that I could have as many cupcakes as I wanted, as long as I eat them.

This has been one tiring day for me. I know for sure that I want to go home now, I’m seriously homesick. I want my mother caring for me and tucking me in bed or turning my lights off before I sleep. You know what; I think I really want to go back. But since I’m so superstitious, I need a sign.

TRING TRING!

Great another text reminding me to pay my bill? Wait, this is from a different number than the phone company. This was a text from the news (it’s an app I downloaded) saying: “Abbie Lanter has been arrested for an attempt of murder.”

WHAT?! Oh I just got a sign alright. That’s it, I’m going home and checking on what the hell just happened.  Isn’t this a beautiful way to celebrate my birthday?

But most important of all, who was Abbie trying to murder?
