Walk In My Stiletto Shoes!

Chapter Seven- Back to Reality!

The week once again flew by. 

I had lots of catching up to do with my classes. I got up Monday morning before my mom did and was gone by the time she was getting up for work. I'm sure she would clue in to where I went. I mean come on, where else would a teenager like me go at 8 in the morning?

As soon as I walked threw the doors, I knew things were going to be different. I first looked around for Drake as I walked to my locker. I couldn't find him. I don't know why I even wanted to find him. Part of me was scared to see him face to face again. Would he speak to me? I know I had nothing else to say to him. Second, I took a walk around the school after I went to my locker. A few people stopped me to talk. They all seemed surprised that I was back in school. Then, I met up with Jenn and Jessica. They seemed glad to see me. I just don't get why everyone wants to be my friend now. What makes me so different now than before my father died? I remember having this thought before. It must be pitty. 

"Hey Brooke!" Jenn said as I walked towards them. I was hoping to be able to just walk by. "We will walk you to class. I think we have first and second period together!"

"You're in my 4th and 5th!" Said Jessica.

"Thanks guys," I started, feeling really glad they wanted to stick by me. I really didn't want to do this alone. "But I think i'm going to just walk around, get use to the place again before class starts. I'd like to be alone for now. But i'll see yas later, okay?" I sorta smiled.

"Kay!" they said together. I could tell they were a little hurt. 

Few minutes later the bell rang. I slowly walked to class. My heart started beating fast. I knew Drake was in my first period. When I got to the classroom there wasn't many people inside. I walked in and sat between Jenn and Jessica. 

The rest of the day was a blur. I started to get the feeling that I didn't want to be there. That there was no point in continuing school now. I was told by all my teachers that I would need to get caught up fast if I planned to graduate this year. I made arrangements to start new Monday. I just wanted the rest of the week to get back on track and use to being back in school. It might of only been a couple weeks that I was out but I feel completely different.  The teachers said it would be okay as long as I stuck to the plan. 

I didn't see Drake until Wednesday afternoon. The bell had just rung ending lunch. I was sitting at my desk waiting for fourth period to start. He walked in late. Everyone just sorta stared at him. I guess i'm not the only one that noticed he changed. His eyes were bloodshot and he had a black eye. I'm assuming it was from me punching him. It must of hurt him because my hand was still swollen too. Then a thought hit me. Does everyone know what happened between him and I? Did he tell them? He couldn't have! Someone would of mentioned it by now! He didn't talk to me though. He glared at me then looked away. All class he gave me looks like I was his worst enemy. In reality, he was mine. I was scared of him. This was the only time I saw him all week. 

That pretty much summons up my first week back at school! Nothing else really exciting happened. I was now sitting on my bed. It was Friday afternoon. We got out at 1:00pm today. The teachers had an unexpected emergency meeting. Not sure what it was about, but I wasn't about to complain. I was ready to end the school week. My phone beeped indicating I had a notification from Facebook. Turns out, it was a message from Jessica. 

"Jessica: Text me" and then she gave me her number.

Part of me knew what she wanted. It was probably an invite to go out with her and Jenn. I texted her anyway, just incase it was something important.  Just as I sent the message my mom walked in.
