A tragedy.

*carolines pov*

I get off the bus walking into my house. "MOM DAD I'M HOME" I yell.
I see my mom come out of the living room."Hey honey How was school?" she asks and brings me into a hug.

"It was good where's dad?" i say and hug her back. She looks down and smiles "In the kitchen making us some lunch".

I walk into the kitchen seeing my dad humming and making sandwhiches.
"Hey dad" He looks over his shoulder and smiles, "Oh hey sport,Do you want a sandwich?"

I smile at him "Yeah that'd be cool". He looks down at the sandwhiches "Alright nice". I sit at the kitchen table and he brings me a sandwich.

"How was school? Anything interesting happen?" he says as he brings me a sandwich "Nah it was boring old school".

He looks at me then starts chuckling
I look at him with a confused look "What?". He chuckles again "You have a piece of paper in your hair".

My smile changes into a frown, but I quickly change it back before he notices. "Oh haha I'll get it"

"Why do you have paper in your hair?" he looks puzzled. "School is weird dad, don't question it's weirdness". He nods and turns back to making lunch.

"You're right not gonna question it" i laugh "Alright well I'm gonna go upstairs I have loads of homework" I lie.

"Alright bye sweetie if you need anything just call me or your mom".
I run upstairs into my room.I shut my door locking it and jumping face forward on my bed.

I start to cry into my covers,thinking of what I could have possibly done to make everyone act that way.

All I'm doing is going out with Sky?
What's so wrong with that?.I hear a knock on my door and I quickly sit up wiping my face with my covers.

"I'm naked don't come in I'm fixing to take a shower"."Okay darling I was just coming to check on you,you left the kitchen kinda quick like" I hear my dad say.

"Oh yea sorry about that I just have a lot of homework and taking showers help me think". I hear him sigh"Oh ok..weird but whatever helps you I guess".

He chuckles and I hear him walk downstairs. Well I might as well take a shower nowl.I get undressed wrapping a towel around myself.

Walking into my bathroom turning on the water.As I wait for it to get warm I sit on the counter.My mind starts to wonder and before I know it more tears are streaming down my face.

I get in the shower and sit down wrapping my arms around my knees continuing to cry.Why am I crying so hard? Over just stupid people in my class?

I'm so stupid ,I'm being quiet dramatic.I stand up and start to wash my hair. I stay in the shower for close to two hours just washing myself and trying to convince myself im being over dramatic.

When I get out I walk over to my dresser and pick out my pajamas and my School clothes for tomorrow.

I plug my phone into the aux cord and start my music,I lay in my bed pondering of what might happen tomorrow. After about an hour of thinking I start to cry again.

But this time im thinking of how i ran out of class.I shouldn't have told Skyle I shouldn't have ran out like that.

Now everyone is just gonna see me as a cry baby.Ugh i wonder what Sky thinks of me.I quickly get my phone out and text Sky

Caroline:"Hey I'm sorry for earlier today at school"
I lay my phone down and sigh "They're probably asleep"

Oh god ,What if I wake them up? Ugh I'm such a bad person.Suddenly I feel my phone vibrate.

I grab it and put in my password.

Sky:"Hey no don't worry about it, it's fine I'm here for you"
Caroline:"You must think I'm so soft"
Sky:"No its okay you acted as anyone else would"
Caroline:"Idk man I was acting pretty soft"
Sky:"Oh hush you were acting as I would have acted"
Caroline:"Yeah yeah I guess , did I wake you up?"
Sky:"You thought I was asleep at 10pm"
Caroline:"Maybe"
Sky:"Hahahahaaaaaa that's funny I mightve taken a short nap well long nap but i dont usually go to sleep early"
Caroline:"oh haha whoops"
Sky:"Well I have a lot of homework so I'll text you when I finish it"
Caroline:"Okay bye sky"
Sky:"Bye Caroline"

I smile turning to lay on my back.I think I might be in love with Skyle.
Maybe it's just because they're here for me when I don't really have anyone else.

I put my phone on the desk beside my bed. I close my eyes and start to drift off to sleep.I'm almost asleep when I hear a knock on my door.

"Caroline you never came to tell your father and I goodnight are you alright?" I sit up"Oh haha yea I'm fine sorry mom and dad I was just really distracted".

"It's alright" i hear them both say. My door slowly opens and I see my parents walk in.

They bend down and kiss me on the cheek and tell me goodnight. "Goodnight mom I love you, Goodnight dad I love you"."We love you too".

They close my door and I roll over on my side closing my eyes, still not able to fall asleep so I decide to just stare at my ceiling.

I wonder what Sky is doing? If theyre asleep or awake?

Memories of earlier that day flood my head making me smile. I can feel all the tiny butterflies in my stomach. I dont know why Sky makes me feel this way.

Then the memories of the kids at school also come. And my smile fades, Im grateful Sky took up for me but it still bugs me. I dont know I'm probably just being stupid.

I finally start to feel drowsy, and pull the covers up to my chin. Rolling over to my side and closing my eyes. Falling asleep before I could have another single thought.
