It was recess. I know I skipped quite a bit of the whole class thing, but if I were you, I wouldn't want to read maths.
The sickness in my stomach eased, thank god, didn't want to vomit on the first day, so I was able to eat. Faith wanted to ask me something, so we planned a meeting at an under cover area near the library.
I was on my way till, "Hey dork, stop!" Stephanie called by with all her 'friends' "I saw you glare at Aaron, he is mine, got it." I was so confused, when did I ever, oh..
"I was getting a pencil off Faith?" Yeah, I forgot one.
"Mhm, sure you did, but you've got an idea." She signalled a slice motion amongst her neck, she can't kill me, she is so weak.
"I'm not scared of her." I huffed under my breath and walked to the seats.
"What was that all about?" Faith questioned,
"Nothing, just, business." I looked back to Stephanie with an annoyed face, she grinned and walked off with everyone else. "What did you want to ask?" I stared to Faith.
"Oh, nothing personal, just want to see if, well, you want to move in with me. In my apartment?" I was shocked by the question. I mean, if I were to move in, my mum wouldn't mind, she would have dad! Wait.
"I would love to! It's just I need to ask." I cheered. She smiled.
"Great, all good, just it was a bit lonely that's all." She looked over to her right towards a cute boy, she giggled.
"Already hitting on someone?" The boy signalled her over to meet some people, she went straight away, with out any warning. "Ok" I mumbled and ate alone. People always drool over Faith's ginger hair. Some do it to my dirty blonde. I don't give a grudge though, it's just boys.

As I look over to Faith, I realise, Aaron was there, why is he everywhere. He looked over to me and gave a side smile, I blushed and looked away. Pfft, I don't like him, it's, it's just embarrassing. I finished my recess, since I was alone I was able to go for a walk when ever I wanted. Going back to before, I now realise that this is the only year Faith gave boys a thought, hm. I started walking. So many dark patches underneath stairs, no one knows what's under there, only the weird people do. The ones that are like, goth, but nerdy at the same time, not to be rude. Teachers everywhere, getting ready for last period. Yeah it's a short day, every Wednesday we have 3 periods only. So no lunch. It was exciting for me.
*Ring*
The bells chimed, time for last period.
Language
"Konichiwa". My Japanese teacher called. "Konichiwa" we answered back, by the way, if you didn't know this meant hello. *I Sneeze* wait, what! "Uh." I hesitated.
"Everything alright Tracy?" My teacher asked.
"Y-yeah" I was so confused, snow?
"Bless you." Faith responded smiling, I slightly smiled back and continued the lesson. Obviously I'm not going to tell Faith, she is one of those friends that care for you, she will call the hospital straight away.
Skiiiip
End of the day, yes! Everyone was charging to the buses, thank god I was on first. Faith was going to her cousins so she was on another bus, "May I sit here?" I look up to see Aaron. He was late on the bus, so he HAD to sit next to me. "Fine" I scoffed and looked back to the window.
"So, Tracy is it?" Aaron asked, I just nodded. He then touched by shoulder, it felt like, FIREWORKS, bursting through my heart. "I know you don't want to, talk, I heard your not into boys, you think they are immature, but I just wanted to know if you were alright, in class you seemed a bit unwell." I turned to him and smiled,
"Thanks, I'm fine, just, tired." I giggled.
"Glad to see you smile" His eyes were sparkling, so, per- "well this is my stop" I shook out of that mirage, "See you tomorrow, Tracy" he walked off the bus, I froze. "Why did I act so, weird." I thought, making confused expressions on my face.

I was the next stop. I headed off and walked down the street. I then realised that miss stepho was following me, I took a glance on my phone on the reflection, she looked furious. "I know you see me, I'm not that dumb." She scoffed.
"What now Miss Glamourise" I sighed.
"I told you to stay away from Aaron" she smiled sarcastically. Trying to make things, 'OK'.
"What ever" I kept walking. She grabbed my wrist, spinning me around, and she slapped me. I was at the top of the anger chart now.

My eyes started turning white with blue specks, she took steps back and ran, "haha, miss scaredy pants" I went to normal and walked into my house, the red mark healed straight away. Of course mum wasn't home yet, she was still at work, plus it was early day. I ran upstairs and jumped onto my bed.
"What happened today" I questioned, drifting off to sleep.
