Chapter 7
Today was Tuesday the last school day before Thanksgiving. In my family I hated Thanksgiving. All of my unappreciative family comes over to show off themselves, constantly trying to outdo each other. This year is different. Uncle Tony is still in the hospital, recovering. I may just go out to BurgerKing with Jess.
The school day goes by fast because the teachers didn't want to assign many assignments because they knew no one would do them over break. I get out of you last class and the crowd of kids rush past me. As I was about to leave the building, I see Jack talking to a girl. It wasn't just any girl either, it was Lily Poller. Ok. Harsh. I don't blame him. They seem to really be connecting. She leaves and I walk up to him.
"Hey." I say quietly.
"Hey. Who are you again? I haven't seen you in a while. Your face isn't ringing a bell." He says sarcastically.
"Ok. Look I'm sorry. I shouldn't have just bailed on you guys. Michael was there when you guys weren't. You didn't want me anymore, so I found new friends. Or a new friend." I say looking to the ground.
He grabs my chin and turns it to him. "I will always need you Christine. I love you. I was in a bad state. We miss you, trust me. It's not the same. Happy Thanksgiving." And with that he walks out of the school.
Jess walks up to me, ready to leave. We get in the car and drive home. The whole way home I was worried about everything. I kept thinking about what Jack said. I also kept thinking about what Michael said.
"CHRIS!" I hear Jesse yell. I look up and I had driven into the opposite lane. I swerve out of the way off the road. The car comes to an immediate stop and I'm breathing heavily. We land in a ditch and I have officially ruined my day.
"What was that?" Jess basically screams at me.
"I don't know I just kind of blurred out of reality. I'm sorry. I'm so fricking stressed about everything outside of school." I lean back in my seat while Jess calls a tow truck.
I pull out my phone and see an email from my art teacher.
Dear Ms. Caron,
At the moment you are currently failing Introduction to 3D Art. You are missing 3 assignments that were due in previous dates. Please, we recommend that you get your grades up before the end of the first semester which is in three weeks. Blessings,
Northview High Administration
And with that my heart crumbles. I start feeling tears trickle down my cheeks. The familiar salty taste dripping slowly into my mouth. Everything bad that could possibly happen, has happened.
