A tragedy.

two

I wake up to the sound of my alarm and a bowl in my hand. I stare at my phone. "Oh no" I think to myself "i forgot to text Caroline".

I quickly pick it up and type her name in my contacts. She pops up and i smile. I quickly type "Im so sorry Caroline I forgot to text you I feel awful".

I sit my phone down and decide to put on my uniform. See at my school you have a uniform and not one of those that like it's a set thing.They're just really strict on rules.

No other colors then
Green,gold,white,kaki,black,and grey.
We also can't wear black on black or colored earings,bracelets, headbands, etc.

I grab everything and rub downstairs into the kitchen grabbing a bagel. I run to the car finding everyone already there.

I get in the car and put my headphone in and play twenty one pilots. Still no reply from Caroline. I frown. After a few songs i feel my step sister kayla tap my shoulder letting me know we're at school.

I slowly take my headphones out and put them in my bag."Oh great,Another day in hell" I say to myself.

As I step out of the car I focus on how I'm walking. Suddenly aware of how awkward my arms look I wrap my skinny hands around my book bag strap.

I'm thankful I usually get to school right before the bell rings so no one is in the halls or outside walking into the school

I walk inside and make my way to the stairs. Before going up I get my inhaler out and take 2 puffs so I don't have an asthma attack.

I make my way to my locker when i reach the top. I just shove everything except the binders I need.

When I'm finished I make my way to my homeroom. I walk in looking for Jonathan as he's usually here before me.

My eyes stop on a small girl with big curly hair. She's in my class wow im lucky. I walk over to her. She looks up at me smiling.

"Im so sorry I didn't text you". She looks at me "its okay I understand". I feel so bad Uhg "I got home and took a nap and im sorry im so lazy". She giggles "its ok shh skyle"

I let out a sigh of relief "Thanks" i say. And make my way to my seat. I look around, Still no sign of Jonathan.
Where is that noob?

I glance up just in time to see Caroline staring at me then quickly move her eyes to her feet. I run my hands through my hair worried there was
something wrong with it.

The rest of the class goes by with us awkwardly staring at each other and blushing. Before I know it the bell rings. I start gathering my stuff and walking out the classroom.

As I walk out I hear someone saying my name really softly. I turn around to see Caroline waving me over. "Yes?" i say confused. She looks at me with a smile "dont forget to text me today". I laugh "I wont i swear".

I wave goodbye and start onto my next class.

I walk down the hall and suddenly a thought comes into my head "What if She's just being nice because she feels bad for me?"

I'm being ridiculous how could anyone like me? I don't know if I should text her it's probably a prank.
Or maybe she might actually like me?

"No no" my inner thoughts say. "That's not possible" I'm just not gonna text her. I walk into class and slump down in my seat.

My teacher walks up to me and frowns. "Are you okay sky?" I look up confused "Huh? Yea I'm fine why?"

She gives me a worried look "You just look troubled about something?" I smile "Nah I'm good" she smiles back "Okay good".

As she walks away I stare at the wall "What in the hell just happened?"

As i sit there I start thinking. "What if she really does like me? Itd probably really upset her if i didnt"

I take my phone out and prop my binders on each other to hide it.we're not allowed to have our phones out in school.

I type her name into my phone. Hopefully she answers I dont know if she even has her phone at school.

Sky:"Hey its sky"
Caroline: "Oh hey what's up?" i smile sky:"Nm just math"

I put my phone inside my front pocket and wait for a reply. After about 5 minutes my phone vibrates.

Caroline: "Well I have to go since I'm still new I have to talk to my teachers about what we're learning byyeee :))" I read out.

I frown

Sky:"okay bye ;)"

I slump back down in my seat and rearrange my binders back."Did I really just send a winky face omg.What is wrong with me" I say to myself.

"Uhg I might as well focus on math" I laugh "Sikkeee".I'm gonna doodle again

My teacher never pays attention to me so I'm good.

Suddenly I hear the bell ring, I quickly snatch up my stuff and walk to my next class.

As I walk down the stairs I spot Caroline across the hall and start walking towards her.

"Hey" I say as I get closer. She turns around "Oh hey sky". "What class do you have next" I ask. "Mr.paulk science" she says with a smile. A grin spreads across my face"Oh same we can walk there together?"

To my surprise she grabs my arm lightly and pulls me to the class. I start to get butterflies in my stomach.

"Do you wanna sit beside me? Theres an empty seat where some kid moved earlier in the year". She smiles "Oh okay".

She sits down smiling and pulls out her science binder. She turns toward me and we start talking about random stuff.

We talk until lunch and on the way to lunch at the lunch table and on the way back from lunch.

When we get back to class its time to pack up. I say goodbye to Caroline and head off to my next class

The rest of the day went by like a blur and the next thing I know I'm on my bus waiting for Caroline.

As I wait I listen to music and go on tumblr.I feel someone starting to sit I look to find Caroline.My heart stops and my hands get all sweaty.

"Hey Sky" she says as she sits down. "Oh hey caroline" I say. "So I was wondering are you still good to hang out this weekend?"

"Yea" I say with a big grin. "Okay cool" She smiles. We start talking about what we're gonna do when we hang out.

Suddenly the bus breaks stop and Caroline tells me its my stop. I was so busy talking and listening to Caroline i didnt even notice we had stopped.

I quickly grab my stuff making sure not to leave anything. Im very precocious about that, because I've lost a lot of stuff on this bus.
