Broken Macaroni

Chapter 9

                                                    Macy's point of view

Okay honestly there was something else bothering me besides tucker carson being in my class. I didnt even want to think about it, so why would i want to explain it to kelsey. Yeah she my bestfriend but there was too much that my secret would effect.

You know how i said my dad was always away on work well, he was coming back and that was never a good thing. Last time he came back i got a lecture on how i should have passed the driving exam and how i was expected to do better than nick.

Its like my father held me to a different standard than he held nick. After all nick was failing almost all his classes and it was only the second day (alittle exaggeration...ok alot). I absolutely couldnt stand when he came home.

the only person who should be glad is nick since, my father does nothing but cater to him. I dont know why. Maybe because he is a boy, because he is older or maybe it was the fact that he isnt the smartest cookie in the jar. Either way i knew there was a difference between me and Nick.

I dreaded when my dad would call me and tell me that i needed to get home for a father daughter dinner. Ironic that the guy who likes my brother more than me would want to have dinner with just me.

I guess every parent of more than one kid had a favorite, thats just how it was. I mean teachers had favorites even when they are supposed to because of rules, a parent had no rules so what wouldnt make them choose a favorite? Nothing.

I didnt want to tell kelsey about what was going on at that moment, if i had she would have slowed me down and i needed to get to class on time. I planned to make it through the day without thinking about my dad and him coming into town.

I walked into my math class ready to sit in the front away from tucker and the other jocks. As i put my books on the very front table, the teacher walked in "Same seats as yesterday". Mrs.Bagwell was already becoming my least favorite teacher, quickly too.

Sighing i walked past the cheerleaders, back to my surrounded by strangers desk. I looked at my paper, i wasnt in the mood to color or in the mood to be at school. I didnt even bother to avoid tucker when he walked in. I had bigger problems than dealing with tucker, after all he was just a guy from first grade who i hadnt talked to since the first grade.

through the class i sat thinking of ways to avoid going back to my house, maybe i could lie and say i had a project i had to work with kelsey. the project could be due the next week and we had to start, that could work maybe if my dad wasnt paying attention to details. Not the best idea since my dad was all about the little details as well as the big ones.

I was tapping my foot on the tile floor which wasnt the greatest sound since i had decided to wear my gladiator sandels. I las looking out the window when someone grabbed my leg that was tapping the floor over and over.

"will you stop that?" the person said then let go of my leg.

"huh" I said slowly turning to see who had done it "Oh sorry" i said seeing it was tucker who looked alittle aggervated.

"Not a big deal just stop and we wont have any problems, i was just trying to listen to her" he said casually not anggervated or annoyed about it.

I looked up to see what he was talking about. Looking the board over i got the same feeling a foreign person get when they look at the websters dictionary, i was confused almost like it was another language. I sat scratching the back of my blonde hair not knowing where the equation started and where it ended.

"thats from her last class" tucker said, i guess he had noticed the confused look on my face.

"Oh thanks" I said embarrassed, i should have been listening. i glanced at the board again to see what she was really talking about.

Tucker kept glancing at me, i didnt know why. After all it was math class, i wasnt that entertaining or exciting. He shook his head "Its nothing on the board, she is explaining the project where we have to work in pairs" he said leaning towards me slightly then went back to leaning back in his chair.

I took a deep breath in relief that i hadnt really missed anything since she was only explaining the project. My relief only lasted a few seconds then it went back to panic when the teacher said "Alright teams". I looked around there werent that many people and there was only one person i didnt want to work with, chances of her putting me with tucker we 1 to 30. I shook my head slightly smirking at how i had worried for nothing.

I sat listening for my name, of course it was the last one, "Macy and.............." she said looking around the pencil in her mouth. "uh huh" she said smirking as she wrote someones name next to mine. "Macy and............Tucker" she finally said when she put all the names on the list.

the bell rang and i wanted more than just the class to be over, i wanted the day to be over, no rephrase that i wanted the year to be over. Definately the year. As i put my notebook away i felt like someone was standing by my desk.

"Yeah" i said standing up and putting my lime green backpack on.

"Hey partner, ill call you later with details" tucker said then walked out smirking.

"Great" I mummbled to myself walking out of the class and to my locker. How was i so lucky that my dad would be coming home anyday now and tucker was my partner in a project i knew nothing about.

"what am i gonna do" i said looking in my locker wanting to climb in until everything was over.
