The only reason

Chapter 3: invitations

From all the classes that I dont like History happens to be the first, and the fact that I don't like oure teacher, Mrs. Pomen doesn't help.

Once I walked in the classroom I settled down on a seat next to my best friend, Natalia.
We first meet when we were five at a daycare. My parents were always busy with work. Natalia had recently moved in with her mom and older brother Alex. My brother has a bromance with Alex that doesn't even bother to deny. Natalia's parents are separated. She doesn't really like talking about it, but deep down I know it affects her. Her mom is a nurse at the hospital where my mom works. The day that they moved in, our mothers started a friendship and have been the bestes friends for the past eleven years. Her father is a buisness man and travels oftenly but isn't gone for long. He doenst live too far from us but far enough for me not to see them as oftenly as I do.

She had her arms crossed over on her desk and her head laid on them, with her eyes shut.

"Hey" I greeted her with a smile.

"Don't talk to me. You're voice gives me headaches." She mumbled to me without even opening her eyes.

"Glad to see you're school 'ol self." She always acted so differently at school.

"Really?" She asked while sitting up. "Cause im not."

"Yeah me neither." I told her.

"Class seattle down and open you're book on page number twelve. Now" she orderd while settling down on her white, very neat desk.

"Nice to cee you too Mrs. Pomen. My vacation was grate too." One of the guys in the classroom that I recognize as Christopher said lamelessly.

"Lets make one thing clear."
She said while standing up strait and putting a hand to her hip.

"I don't like any of you and I dont care about how you're vacation was. Im here as a history teacher to teach you about it. Not to chit chat about how awesome or terrible you're life is.
Now I don't want to be here any less that either one of you does. So do me the favor of opening the damn book on page twelve so that we can get over this and not make you the rest of these fifty minutes hell."
She finished off while sitting down and putting her white glasses on.

"You will summarise pages twelve to fifteen in thirty sentences."
Mrs. Pomen said
"You have approximately thirty minutes left."

"I hate everything. " Natalia said while banging her head against a locker.

"No. You hate school." I told her. "Its normal." I cherped.

She just looked at me with an annoyed expression. "Im hungry"

"Come on. Let's get something."

"Yeah. You're paying."

I looked at her with a dead pan expression.

"Just in case you didn't know."
I usually always pay.

"Well then I get to pick." I told her.
She shrugged.

"Its only fair. You know, since youre paying and all."

"And all?"

"Yeah, cause you're driving"

"I don't have a car!"

"Right.. I guess Jay will drive us?"

"He's not gonna. And you know it."

"Hmm..I'll convince Alex to convince Jay."

"How do are you gonna do that?"

"I'll persuade him"

"Of course."

I had to admit, you couldnt say no to her.

"So, where are we going?" Jason asked.

"McDonalds"
I answerd

"Okay then, McDonalds it is."

After we ate we went back to school and in no time we were already leaving.
I didn't see April or May. And I couldn't help but think of what happened to them. They would usually get easily out of trouble thanks to our friend Viviane, she's the one that always gets us out of trouble.

I did see Peter a couple of times but didn't get the chance to talk to him since we dont take any classes together.

"Hey you." Someone shouted at us.
That being me, Valerie and Natalia.

We meet Valerie in the seventh grade. She was bullied when she transfered to our school. She was really smart but was too much of a saint.

"Back to school party tonight at ten." The guy that I had never seen, I assume was on grade eleven, gave me a flier.

"What's you're name?" I asked.

"Jerrison"
he answerd with a cute dimpled smile.

He had blonde hair and brown eye's. He was tall and was well built.

"Well, Jerrison, my name is Eleanor. This is Natalia and Valerie."
Natalia gave him a small smile and quickly looked back down to her phone.
Valerie simply waved at him.

"Um hi?" He told me in a confused tone.

I looked at him, studying he's expressions. "Who's party is this?"

"It's from Aaron."

"Ah Mr. Aaron."
I motiond Natalia.Aaron and Natalia used to date.

"Well then, see you around." I gave him a smile.

"See ya'" Natalia winked at him.

"God I've been waiting for this. We're going to party tonight. "
Natalia said jumping on her bed.

"You've been waiting for this?" "You had a party on friday." I reminded her.

"Yeah, but this is different. Its not at my house." She whined.

"Right."

"Hey." Valerie called. "How come you guys didn't have the party."

"Hmm. I don't know. Alex probably got tierd." Natalia answerd.

"Alex got tired of throwing a party?"
Valerie asked

"You know now that you say that. He probably ran out of money and mom started to suspect." Natalia shrugged.

"But who cares?" Natalia asked standing up. "We have a party to get to."
