Burned Intentions

Pained Deception

I gasp at the unexpected person over the phone. Like I don't even know how to react. Why is she calling me? Last I saw her was when we were in rehab. She was worse off than me. She was on meth and cocaine. Meth when she wanted to get high and cocaine when she was coming down from the high.

Why you calling me? I whisper.

What? So you're too good for me now? She laughs dryly.

No that's not what I'm saying. We just lost all form of contact.

Oh, she giggles, This weird looking guy came to me and he started conversation and I told him to fuck off then he mentioned you and how you miss me. Then he gave me your numbers and left.

Describe this guy for me please. I say.

He is tall, blueish eyes, brown hair, he's white and stuff. Why?

William! Arg I should have known! That man is trying to push me off into drugs again! Why can't he just leave me alone.

Uhh Anna can we talk later? I gotta get ready for school. I say.

Sure. I gotta go anyway.

Chilled, bye. I hang up.

I can feel the rage build up inside me. I feel like throwing my phone across the room! He thinks he is such a dictatorial person. Well he's wrong! I'm not going to go to fall back into that sandpit.

Aunt Claire barges into my room.

Skylar. You do realise that I have to drop you off at school in like 20 minutes right? She says impatiently.

Shit! I completely forgot. I jump out of bed and I stand still for a moment my head going all woozy. I sit back down and groan.

Are you ok?

Yeah, I just stood up too fast I think. I mutter.

Aunt Claire walks over to me and puts her hand over my forehead.

Seems like more than that. I think you're coming down with something.

I brush her hand off.

No honestly I'm fine. I need to get ready for school.

I stand up and walk to the bathroom. My head is pounding. It's probably just a headache. I brush my teeth and get into the shower. The hot water is starting to make me dizzy. I sit down on the floor and let my head stop spinning.
I can't miss another day of school. I've missed enough already. I get up and finish showering and get out and wrap the towel around me and walk to my room and check the time. I have 10 minutes left. I brush my hair out into a bun and put on my uniform. I look into the mirror and I look like an ordinary school girl. No drama, no problems none whatsoever. Just a regular school child.
I grab my bag and go downstairs and grab an orange.

Morning. Jaydon walks in. He frowns, You look sick. Are you ok?

I frown back at him. What's with everyone thinking I'm sick.

No, now let's go we're already late.

We walk out to the car and Aunt Claire pulls out of the drive way and out to school.
My phone beeps.

Can't wait to see you today. I really missed you. -Jesse

I smile at the phone to myself. Jesse and I have been spending alot of time these days. He really does make me laugh alot with the amount of nonsense he speaks.
