Long Walk

Chapter 2

I burst through my front door. "ugh! i hate school!" I slung my book bag across the floor. My mom ran into the room. " Larkin! Whats the meaning of this!" She held her hand over her forehead. I swung around and faced her. She looked down at the Red stain on my white under shirt And then looked back up at my hair that still had chunks of noodles and meatballs in it. she stood shocked. My hands flew into the air. " This new kid Danny Ran into me at lunch! Everything on that boys tray Went onto me!" My mom giggled. " ITS NOT FUNNY!"  i shoved past her and her ridiculous smile. Picking up my bag I stormed off to my room.

I plopped on my bed and few tears sweld my eyes but i wasnt gonna cry over something so stupid. My phone buzzed and Rosa's name appeared. Rosa was a Senoir while i was a freshman. How we became friends? Tanner. I opened the text. 

Rosa- Omg are you ok!

Me- Yeah im fine

Rosa- you seemed pissed! Hey why don't we meet up and hang out? talk?

Me- ok....see ya soon. Meet me at the river!

I took a shower and redressed into something less covered in today's lunch.  That boy Danny just made my kill list. He has gone from cute to.....well i don't know i just don't like him. I didn't bother with makeup, so i headed off to meet up with Rosa. The river was right down the road from me. Maybe a 5 minute to 10 minute walk.

My walk was shortened when i heard the beeping of a horn and Rosa screaming my name. I hopped into her car.  " i cant believe that Danny guy" I pouted and crossed my arms. She laughed. " hey it'll be ok Its all over." we parked on the shore and sat up on the hood of the car.

" so? I was wondering If you would wanna Vacation with me and Brad in new Jersey this summer?" Rosa started off. i shrugged " sure." It went silent. " are you ok Lar?" She asked handing me a soda.  I ignored the question. " Its warm out tonight...that's odd" Rosa rolled her eyes "rude" she mumbled. " what?"  I said raising an eyebrow.  She shot her evil look at me. "your being rude." I hopped off the hood of the car. " I'm not having a good day and all because i wont talk to you I'm rude?!" I threw my hands in the air. She rolled her eyes again. "now your just being a brat." She crossed her arms. A huff of air blew from my nose in frustration.

Turning around, my back to ,what i thought was an uderstanding friend ,i walked home. I ignored every word that came out of that girls mouth. And this time my middle finger didnt come up playfully.
