We Are Broken

Chapter 2

Tally's POV

Finally it was eighth hour I had Algebra 2, math is my worst subject so I just quietly took a seat in the back and hoped no one notices the new girl in the back. As luck would have it I see a familiar blonde girl rush towards me.

"Tally! How has your first day gone so far?" she asks

"Same as it was sixth hour when you asked me." thank God the teacher walked in before she could ask anymore questions

" Good afternoon I hope we are all having a great first day of school"

As an answer he got a series of moans and groans from some of the students. "Okay then, I'm just going to take role and pass out a little info page with rules and expectations. Probably just like every single one of your other classes"

"Rebecca Brown? Here. Juliet Brines? Here. Agnes Combs? Present. Zane David?" wait Zane is In this class? I couldn't find him maybe he got sick and went home. He didn't seem sick when I left him at lunch. "Absent on the first day, not a good impression." I just completely zoned out till I heard my name "Tally Shay?"

"here." I say quietly

" Tally Shay?" I guess he didn't hear me

" Here" I say louder

"No need to be sassy." Sassy? What? Who's being sassy here? Not me. calm yourself Tally you don't want a repeat of last year.

"Sorry sir I didn't mean to be sassy. It's just I have a slight temper" I try to explain my self to he horrid old man.

" well you need to control your temper I will not have that kind of attitude in my classroom." now he's the one being sassy.

"Sorry I didn't know we had to be perfect to be in your class considering that this school is for people like me that have social problems." I say without thinking.

"Excuse me?" HE shocked and pissed I can tell now. "If you don't like the way I run my classroom you can leave and go to the principles office

"I will gladly go to the principal's office if it means leaving your fucking class because quite frankly you sir are an asshole."

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me and you need to figure out something else to say other than 'Excuse me' like a little girl" With that I walk out the door. Great job Tally it's your first day of school and you've already gotten on the bad side of one of the teachers.

Without thinking about I head straight for the nearest exit, I don't really feel like going to the office at this time of day. I just walk out ot the parking lot and start walking towards the direction I think home is, that's when I see a familiar face sitting inside a truck.

"Zane!" I yell hoping he can hear me, he can't. I walk up to the window and knock it doesn't get his attention either. I do the only other thing I can think of I walk to the passenger door, hopefully it isn't locked. It's not thank God. This gets his attention if it didn't I would be worried. He pulls out his headphones and looks at me curiously.

"Tally? Why aren't you in school it's not ended yet is it?" He asks slightly confused still.

"No schools not out, but my teacher was being rude and I ended up cussing him out and he told me to go to the principle's office and I didn't want to go then have my dad show up. It's all a big mess. Now the question is why aren't you in class?

"Um I don't really want to talk about it. So how did you end up in my truck?" He asks

"Oh well you see after skipping the principle's office I decided I was just going to walk home or something. Then I realized i live in the middle of nowhere and then I thought I'd just wait for school to end then have my dad pick me up, but the problem with that is that my dad has probably been called so that isn't such a good idea either." I'm rambling now "So I decided I was going to wait til Agnes to come out and ask for a ride. Then I saw you here and I don't know where I was going with this idea.

"If you want I can take you home early. I was just about to head home, but it probably wouldn't be a good idea to arrive home from school early." I think he's blushing.

"Are you sure I live pretty far out of town in the middle of nowhere." I ask hoping that he will say yes

"Yeah, i live pretty far out too It'll give me time to make it look like I got out of school at a reasonable time." Yay Zane was going to take me home! Wait, what if was a psycho ax murderer. You just met him he could kill you and no one would know because you didn't stay in school.

"You're not a crazy ax murderer are you?" The words blurt out of my mouth before I have time to process them.

"What!?" He say while in hysterics. Well I'm glad my fears make him laugh."You watch way too many movies, of course I'm not an ax murderer. If I was would I be so nice?"

"I don't know, I've never met an ax murderer. This could all just be one big act into getting me alone so you can kill me." I'm being completely serious here. "I have no idea what to expect from one."

"Shut up and trust me" So I do just that, i shut up and trust him "Tell me your address so i can put it in my GPS." as if knowing what I wa thinking he says "You can talk just don't accuse me of being an ax murderer anymore." I give him my address and then we are on our way.

We're halfway there when he speaks again "Do you like live in the same area as me because we're getting pretty close to my house."

"I don't know, because I don't know where you live." I say sarcastically

"Well i didn't think about it when i typed it into the GPS, But I think we might be neighbors." He says nonchalantly like it's no big deal that we might be neighbors.

"That's kinda strange how that worked out, don't you think?" He stays silent. Did I say something wrong? "Are you okay? Why aren't you talking to me this isn't natural."

"What are you going on about over there?" He pulls out his headphones. Oh, no wonder why he didn't answer me.

"Nothing you need to worry about.Wait when did you put headphones in?" I don't remember seeing him out them in.

"They've been in since you got into my truck I never took them out I just paused my music when we were talking" He gives me a look that says i should have known this.

"Oops, I guess i wasn't paying attention" well obviously dumbo.

"When do you pay attention?" He says with a grin that makes me melt. Why is he so darn cute?

AN: sorry for the really long time I've been really busy with school work but here's an update if anyone is reading this lame story lol.
