I woke up this morning to a text from Naomi. 


Naomi- sorry girl but I can't drive you to school today :(

Me- aww ok I guess I'll ride the bus I'll see ya at school

Naomi- Thxs for understanding ttyl

I got up and luckily I didn't have a headache. I got up put on my Starbucks tank top with black high waisted shorts and flats I straighten my hair, brushed my teeth and headed downstairs. "Morning mom", I said. "Morning Cristine", she said. "Mom when is dad coming back from his business trip?", I asked. My dad had been gone for 2 weeks now and he should have been back by now. My mom looked worried when I asked her this question. "Cristine sit down", she said and sat down at the table. "Um ok", I said. " honey I had recently learned that your father has been seeing another woman behind my back and....", she paused for a second and I got really worried. "Honey me and your dad are getting a divorce, we were going to tell you when he got back from his business trip tomorrow but I think you should know now", she said. Tears started welling up I couldn't believe this. My parents had been together for 20 years and now their getting a divorce! I had looked up to them they were the perfect couple how could my father do something like this! I'm so angry at him I never want to see him again! "Honey", my mom said soothingly. I didn't realize that I had started crying. She got up from the table and hugged me. "It's not your fault people just grow apart", she said soothingly. This made me angry. "What are you talking about people don't just cheat if they get tired of the person dad is such I jerk i never want to see him again", I cried into my mothers arms. Me and my dad had been really close but now I never in a million years want to see his lying face again. Was this marriage just a big lie! How could he do this to my mother, to me! She wiped mascara off my face. "Go fix yourself up before the bus comes", she said. I went back upstairs and fixed my mascara. By the time I was done the bus shortly came. "I'm off work today so I'll see you when you get home", she said and hugged me. "Bye mom", I said and went to the bus. As usual I went to the back where I knew nobody and plugged my earphones in and listened to music. I was hardly paying attention but I saw that we stopped at a different stop but it didn't matter. A few seconds later I felt someone sit down next to me and I didn't pay them any attention. I then felt them pull out one of my earphones and say, "hey mama", it was Xavier. "Ahh Xavier!", I yelled. "Ow my ear and yeah it's me", he said covering his ear. I rolled my eyes. "How come you ride the bus?", I asked but really wasn't all that interested. "Hmm well my motorcycle is broken but I'll soon be riding it to school instead of this lame school bus", he said. I just kept thinking about my parents and them getting a divorce I really didn't want to tell my friends just yet. I didn't realize it my I was crying. Xavier looked kinda shocked as to what to do. "Um Christine are you um ok?", he asked. "Forget it it's nothing", I said. "Come on all chicks say that wants on your mind?", he asked. "Fine I'll tell you, my parents are getting a divorce my stupid dad cheated on my mom", I said. "Listen a divorce is tough my parents got one and I live with my dad and it will be alright once you get used to it", he said smiling and I think he was actually being nice for once. "Thanks you kinda made me feel better", I said. "Don't get used to me playing good guy", he said. "Oh I'm sure I won't", I said smirking. Finally we were at school and I went to my first class to find that Xaver was already there. All I coul d see was the most evil grin I had ever seen on his face. I wonder what he is up to...
