Disguise

Chapter 2

It is now class 4, history.
And I am glad that English,math, and athletic training is over. It now I must face the past dealing with history. Boring, I know but it's a required core class that every student must Encounter in high school. The fire alarm went off and we all filed out of the school away from the building. The teachers started chatting saying someone must have pulled it because a fire drill wasn't scheduled for today. As we waited out side I saw the guy again. He was talking to some people who looked like some football players, but I didn't think he was on the team? I thought maybe he made the team during tryouts, it's rare for new people to try out rather that the ones who usually do. I didn't realize I was staring at him until I saw him turn his head and his eyes met with mine. I was startled and didn't think he know I was staring at him until a guy tapped him on the shoulder and said something that was gestured in my direction. The group started laughing and what seamed to be what the guys had just said. But the mystery guy just kept staring at me while smiling, I knew I was going to be in trouble later if they found me alone. Breaking out of the stare down my friend Clarissa lightly tapped me on the arm. I turned, and was surprised to see her standing next to me. I jumped with joy and hugged her tight excited to finally see someone I recognized. Me and Clarissa have been friends since middle school and we hung out some of the time during the weekends so I could escape my parents. She understood that I wasn't actually the person my parents thought I was and let me stay over most of the time. Usually we would go out and stay at parks until late or just sit out by the beach with groups of others. Snapped back to reality she shook me playfully to get my attention. She asked what I was doing today, I told her just staying at home most likely doing nothing because we probably wouldn't have homework. She invited me out with some friends, saying they wanted to chill for a drink. I told her there was no way in hell my parents would let me out on a school night even though it was the first day of school and I wouldn't have work to do. She begged me to tell them I was going to her house to work on an art project. I thought about for a moment then decided to give it a try and told her I would text her when I knew an answer. She exclaimed excitement and jumped for joy and said she'd text me the times and details so she wouldn't forget. By the time our conversation was over the bells signaled for us to go back inside to continue on with class. Back in class we sat in our seats, mine was in the back again and lucky enough there was a window. It was much closer to the athletic field than the one in my English class and it looked like football was just starting to practice. We did nothing in class so we all just sat around doing whatever we wanted to do. I tried to make small talk with a girl in front of me who was reading a book I've previously had read, "the dog with golden eyes"and asked her how she was enjoying it. She said it was okay and that she hasn't gotten that far into it yet and I told her it would get better. Killing time in class I stared out the window and just happened to look down. The football players were drilling and a few stood away from the rest stretching and doing warmups. Glancing around the field I saw the mystery guy. So it turns out he did join the team, I don't know why anyone joins the team every one on it is a complete asshole and are rude to every one except the cheerleaders. After zoning out for what seamed like five seconds the bell rang to change classes, before noticing everyone on the field was gone. I met up with Clarissa for the lunch period and sat with her and some friends trying to make the most out of it. The lunch that day was gross it was soggy rolls, 'cardboard' pizza, and mushy vegetables. Deciding that I wasn't going to eat any of it I threw it away and told Clarissa and her friends I was going outside for the rest of the lunch period. Sitting outside helps me relax and not think about life; But when I am all alone life is all I can think about. I think about how I'm not who people think I am, even my own friend who thinks she knows a lot about me actually does not, she does not know how I feel like  down inside that I don't share. I just put on a smile and go through my day like a Normal person would. I glance up to look at the tree above me that holds my weight as I lean against it, I soak up the sunlight shining through and onto my skin warming it in the cool breeze. I glanced at my phone a notices we still had fifteen minutes left of lunch and lent back against the tree and closed my eyes. I suddenly Awoke by the sound of the bell, dredging to go class I shuffled throughout the hall way to my AP Chemistry class.
