Not So Normal

Chapter 4

*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP* 

I wake up to the sound of the microwave! 

"What the heck Dad? What time is it?" 

"Sorry pumpkin I tired to wake you up but It didn't work." 

"What time is it?" 

"We'll it's 645. Sorry Bri, I got to go to work. Bye, love you. 

"Bye." I say frustratedly as he walks out the front door.

My phone beings to buzz very loudly next to my head. 

"Hello?" 

"Hey it's Char. Are you ready because my mum has to go to drive out of town for work today and is already going to be late."

"No,I just woke up Char, it's fine I will walk."

"Ok, see you at school. Bye"

Ugh could this day get any worse. I have no time for a shower! I go to the kitchen and grab a Strawberry pop tart. I eat it as I run up the stairs. My T.V. is on the news Chanel.  

"its going to be a hot day today. high of 93 degree." I hear the weather lady say as I pull out jean shorts and a rose shirt with no sleeves.  

I look at the clock 655. I NEED to get going! I run to the bathroom. I only have time for mascara today. Once I put that on, deodorant, and perfume on its 705. 

"BYE MOM" I shout as I grab my backpack and run out the door.

It takes me at least 15 minutes to walk to school, so I may be just a few minutes late, since first class starts at 720. 

I have to walk all alone, no one to talk to. I go to turn on Pandora on my phone, but it only has 5% left. 

"Great could this day get any worse?!"

"Hey Brielle!" A guy shouts behind me. 

I turn around to see Chase running towards me!

"Morning! I take it you're running late too?"

"Yea, I slept in and I decided to walk cause its so nice out."

"That's cool Chase. I slept in too, and then Char couldn't come pick me up."

"That sucks. How was your evening?"

"Mine was great! I spent the evening with my father."

"Cool. I don't have a father. He died... In a car crash when I was 6."

"I'm sorry to hear that. Atleast you have a mother. My mother... Died.. In a car crash when I was 6. That's so weird. Do you remember the date?"

"Um I think that it was Juky 18th."

"Oh my mother died on September 8th."

"I'm sorry for both our losses Brielle."

"Me too Chase..."

I hear him think,

"Should I give her a hug, a kiss in the cheek, or just keep walking awkwardly?"

"Thanks for listening Chase!" I whisper in his ear as I give him a hug.

"No problem Brielle." As he said that I hear the school bell ring.

"Crap Brielle were late!"

"That's ok we can be late together" I shout as we begin to run towards the school since we are still 3 blocks away.

We don't even bother to go to our lockers, we know that we are going to get yelled at by Ms. Lemons.

As we sneak into the classroom, we see Ms. Lemons righting on the chalkboard and calling off the names by table.
