Chapter 04

“Vanessa wake up you’re going to be late for school!” I heard Adam yell from the other side of the door. I looked at the alarm clock. Wow, I’ve been wake for two hours, yea I have trouble sleeping so I stayed in bed trying to mash up lyrics of my favorite songs in my head. I got up from my bed and walked to the door to open it. When I did I regretted it because Adam was standing in front of my door, I tried closing it he put his arm out to stop the door from closing.

“Essa what is this? Everybody thinks you forgot about them you said you did everybody moved, all these pictures of mom and Mike why Essa?”

“Because I… he shouldn’t have died it was me who was suppose die not him he’s supposed to be alive and mom should be here as well expect for me! You don’t know how hard it is for me live here with dad and that witch; do you know what she does to me? She beats the living hell out of me Adam and at school Adam I always have to look around to see if Lucas isn’t behind or if we are in the same hallway, he bullies me constantly. I have no friends because of him Adam. And dad doesn’t even know because he is never home. When mom and dad had the divorce I was pretty upset that they did, but you know what hurt me the most was when dad announced he was getting re-married when he clearly said at mom’s funeral that he wouldn’t forget about her and Mike! He forgot Adam he forgot about Mike and mom and he tried to rip my whole room apart the only time he ever came in this room, worst part is that no one believes me.” I yelled as tears ran down my face. “You know what forget everything I said, I have to get to school. Can you get out please?”

“Essa I believe you……..”

“Adam get out of my room, I don’t want to hear it!!!” I yelled at him as he turn to leave my room, once he was out closed the door. I got my book bag and re-opened the door got out of my room and locked it closed. I wiped away the tears, time for school Essa.

  Later on at school

“Oh my god did you how the fat cow dressed today. She is wearing all black today, and I was like she is totally Emo. Ha I know right she really needs to lose some weight.” I can’t lose any more weight if not I’m going to be in trouble by my doctor I already weigh 80 pounds how much do you want me to weigh 10 pounds? Plus I think I am a whole lot skinner then y'all, I wanted to tell them but I couldn't.

“Hey look everybody it’s the Emo girl ha she is all alone poor girl she has no friends maybe cause ate them all hahaha.” Yelled Claire and everybody looked my way as if I was an alien. I got up and walked out of there ignoring Claire and Lucas. I was walking to girl’s restroom when I bumped into someone, what’s with me and bumping into people, I looked up see a girl my age, which I’ve never seen.

“Oh I’m so sorry I didn’t see you there” we said at the same time and we laughed together.

“Sorry I’m Emily Hernandez and you are?”

“I’m Vanessa Monroe and also sorry, new to this school?"

“Yeah this school is so big! Um do you mind if you take or show me where the school’s library, I sort of promised my brother I would meet him there since he’s my ride home. So do you mind?”

“No I don’t mind can you just give me a minute I really need to use the restroom, so I’ll be right back.”

“Okay I’ll just wait right here you can take your time.” I walked in to the girl’s restroom without bumping into anybody which I was grateful for because I really needed to go. Once I was done with my business I washed my hands but while I was washing my hands I saw all the scars on my wrists they were all over the place, I haven’t cut myself in a week which was good if you ask me. After drying my hands I walked out of the restroom and looked for Emily. When I found her she was with Claire and her stupid little minions, they were talking about something but Emily didn’t seem very interested. I walked over and tapped on Emily’s shoulder when she turn around she smiled and began to walk with me away with me but Claire saw this, “Oh my god Emmy where are you going? And why are you with the fat cow? I mean seriously if you want to be popular like us, you can’t hang out with her.”

“Who are you talking about because I don’t see a fat cow here expect for you and oh my god you look hideous, and I can hang out with whoever I want to!” Emily told Claire and then she turned to me, “Come on best friend let’s get going.” She told me.

“Emily why’d you do that you know she is the school’s queen bee right, you’ll have your reputation destroyed especially if you hang out with me and I don’t think we can be best friends but we can try to be friends.” I told her who did she think she is? She can’t be the Julio’s sister for that fact. I think.

“Okay that is good enough for me, now let’s go before my brother get mad, I don’t want walk home.”

Once we got the library I went in and she went to look for brother whoever he is. I went to look for a book for Mrs. Washington’s class; it was supposed to be about someone overcoming obstacles.

' out of my mind'

Eleven-year old Melody has a photographic memory. Her head is like a video camera that is always recording. Always. And there’s no delete button. She’s the smartest kid in her whole school – but NO ONE knows it. Most people – her teachers and doctors included – don’t think she’s capable of learning and up until recently her school days consisted of listening to the same preschool-alphabet level lessons again and again and again. If only she could speak up. If only she could tell people what she thinks and knows…but she can’t because Melody can’t talk.   Melody can’t walk. Melody can’t write. Being stuck inside her head is making Melody go out of her mind – that is, until she discovers something that will allow her to speak for the first time ever. At last she Melody has a voice… but not everybody around her is ready to hear it.

Wow, this is the book is exactly for what I’m looking for its just perfect. I went up to the librarian to go check it out when I bumped into someone, and this time it is my fault my bad. When I looked to see who it was I just wanted to walk away. Julio Hernandez. I turned around and started walking the other direction towards the librarian. I was half there when I felt a hand on my wrist; I turned to see who had a grip on my wrist. It was Julio, of course it is. I tried to yank out my wrist out of his hold. But he only tightened it to the point where it hurt really bad and probably re-opened some of my cuts.

“Can you please let go of my wrist you’re hurting me, please let go.” I said trying not cry in pain. It was as if he didn’t know what he was doing and let go and looked into my eyes, his eyes looked scared and upset, “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to hurt Vanessa.” He said looking right at me, “It is okay, but I really need to go, now if you will excuse me."

“Yea sure…. Again I’m sorry I didn’t mean to hurt you…”he was cut off by Emily’s voice. I wonder if she has found her brother yet.

“Julio Hurry up mom wants us home at 5:00 so …. Oh hey Essa you two know each other?” Wait what they are siblings.

“Oh no we just bumped into each other just a second……”

“Yeah we know each other we are like best friends.” Said Julio, did he just say we are like best friends, uh no never happening that’s for sure.

“Wait so you won’t be my best friend but you’re his best friend? Okay cool I bet you are just like all the other slutty whores in this school, I bet y’all two are like those what are they called? Oh yeah friends with benefits. Yeah those things which are just disgusting, Claire was right you are a whore no wonder you have no friends they are all afraid of catching a disease."

“Emily, you better stop that’s enough! We don’t even know each other and what the hell I told you not to hang-out with Claire!” Julio screamed at her, I just backed away with tears in my eyes, she doesn’t know anything about me. I put back the book not wanting to read it this afternoon. I literally ran out of the school building and started walking home; the worst part about walking home was not that it was rain but that I didn’t have my music with me. I loved it when it rained my mom said that the rain drops where angel tears, but not because they were sad it was because they were happy that someone very special had just entered heaven. I think it is true because when Mike and mom died it was raining, so I guess the rain clams me down and reminds me of mom and Mike.
