My Own Happy Ending

Chapter 2

--- picture of Miracle---

2 years later

I wake up to the sound of a
horrible horrible horrible sound. My alarm going off. I now have to go to school.

I get up and get dressed with my usual, a t-shirt, jeans and my slip on shoes. I also grab my sweatshirt and I put my hair up in a bun.

I walk to the bathroom check to see if I have any get away hairs and tuck it behind my ear. My five foot three meets the mirror and I glance at my outfit and then back up to my brown eyes. I brush my teeth and go back to my bedroom to get my bag and iPod.

I don't put any makeup on. I'm not allowed any makeup, my dad is against make up and thinks that make up makes you into a whore. Which makes no sense.

I look at the time and it's 7:09 am. I rush out my bedroom door, the bus was about to be here. I check my brothers room to see if Chris had gotten up yet. He wasn't there. That butt, he left without me. I throw my goodbye to my parents sleeping in their bedroom. Not waiting for their responses I walk down the hill.

The bus gets there and we both climb onto the bus and I walk to the back and sit down.

Ashley usually rides the bus but she had knee surgery she says she hurt herself by falling off a roof while reading but we know it was because she was pushing hay off a trailer and hurt her knee in the process. The guy that was helping her told us the real story.

Ashley's been in my life for about 6 years. I don't know what I would without her. We both have dark secrets so we bond together.

I met Miracle in 6th grade. We didn't like each other. At. All. But soon Ashley, Miracle and I got in the same class in 7th grade, and we became best friends with a few fights here and there.

I arrive at school and I walk to the cafeteria. Keeping my head down, I spot Miracle with her other friends, Toby, Sarah and Kayla. I sit down beside and look at my iPod, ignoring their talk about how low their grade is in every class.

I notice miracles friends leaving and wait for Sarah and her friends to leave walk a few steps and I walk and sit in front of Miracle.

"Hey" I say

"Hey, do you want to go get breakfast?"

I shake my head. "I don't want to get up"

She laughs. " Really?"

I smile and nod my head.

We sit in silence for a couple of minutes, looking around the cafeteria. It wasn't awkward, I like the silence.... sometimes.

Miracle is wearing a red t-shirt with jeans. She has long black hair with bangs. She has deep set brown eyes.

"Hey, do you know when Ashley is getting here?"

I shake my head." Let me text her."

hey when are you getting here?

I stare at my phone, watching for the read to pop up. It never did.

I look up and set my iPod down. " I don't think we are going to see her 'till lunch. She hasn't texted back."

The bell rings as soon as she starts nodding her.

We get our stuff and walk to class.

She gasps." oh oh I have something to tell you."

"okay tell me."

" Well, you know how I'm a witch and stuff-"

Oh yeah I forgot she is incredible gullible. Apparently her mom is one too, but the spell book got burned so now Miracle is doing a whole bunch of searching the web for spells and potions and crap like that. I don't believe it. Its all fairy tale to me. Ashley believes it though. I don't say my opinion, because then they leave me out of the conversation when talking about it. It makes me feel left out, I know its just insecurities but I cant help it.

"-you know what I mean..."

I nod my head, trying not to show that I had stop listening. The warning bell rings, indicating that we have one more minute to get to class. We say our good byes and I walk to class.

We both have the world geography in the same hallway on the same period just different teachers.

I wasn't really worried about being late, I was worried about the stares you get when you walk into the class late. That makes me nervous.

I walk through the door as soon as the bell rings. I quickly walk to my desk and get out my folder for this class. The teacher, Mrs. Paul, walks to the front of the class to start the lesson.

Mrs. Paul has short curly hair and is shorter than me by maybe a couple inches. She has wrinkles around her brown eyes. She's wearing a gray pant suit.

"We will be doing a partner project."

There is murmuring going around the room, looking for partners.

Mrs. Paul interrupts. " Don't get too excited. I will be picking the partners."

Groans go bouncing off the walls.
Inside I'm kinda relieved that she's picking partners cause I don't have any friends in this class. She saved me from the embarrassment of going up to and having to say I don't have a partner. Then the inevitable, her yelling to the whole class, "who doesn't have a partner!!!!" While I stand there awkwardly.

Hopefully she pairs me up with a smart kid...

So what do you think? Do you think that this is where you meet Samuel? Is this the clique where they get paired up and fall in love?

Anyways, sorry for the slow beginning. I promise it'll get more interesting... if you know what I mean...
