Its been two weeks. I never thought I could be this lonely. The house was so quiet. The only comfort I could find was stroking Charlie's fur. The old, fat, lazy tomcat that loved to be pet and pampered. He too missed Mom.
Swallowing always was difficult when I relived that night.
Coming home from a study group to find Mom laying in the floor. The neighbors heard my screams and dialed 9-1-1. A heart attack is what the EMT's said, but all the same Mom was gone and I am alone.
Sara had been the only one to show me what the love of a mother is suppose to be. After being in an orphanage for the first eight years of my life, it had been so hard to trust anyone, but Sara had earned my love and trust. For the past ten years she had been my Mom. The pain from her loss was almost too much to bear. I have decided it wasn't worth the pain to let someone in. No more will I let anyone close, I can't take the hurt. With a sigh, I realize I have to get moving. I was running late but if I hurried I could make it to science class before the bell rang.
The bell rang just as I stepped into the door of science class. Heading straight to my table, I noticed someone was already sitting there. I never worked with a partner so I stopped and asked Mrs. Kaydee," Who's that at my table?" " Your lab partner, Jason. He moved here last week. I know you usually work alone but he needs a partner.", replied Mrs. Kaydee. Great just my luck! She must have read my thoughts causes she frowned at me and pointed at my table. In a huff, I walked to my table and slammed my books down on the marble top.
" Hi, my name is Jason.", he said as he brushed his brown hair back with his hand. " Who cares." I snarled at him, keeping my eyes on the front of the class. Out of the corner of my eye, I see his mouth hanging open. " Be careful you might catch a fly.", I snapped at him.
Mrs. Kaydee chose that moment to begin class. " In two months, we are going to Paris for a week. Be sure to get permission slips signed if you're under eighteen. Also the partner you have now is the one you will have on the trip. No switching or else you will stay home. Also I want a presentation over something you and your partner would like to see while we are there. No individual work, it must be combined presentation." She said staring straight at me. I just rolled my eyes and sighed heavily.
" Kasey Samuels, please stay after class." She was wanting to drive me crazy. " Yes, Ma'am.", I answered. I opened up my workbook and began the lesson. After an hour of silence, the bell rang loudly. With everyone else gone, I made my way to Mrs. Kaydee's desk. " Look Kasey, I know things are hard on you right now but you could try to be nice." Great another lesson on manners.
" Yes, Ma'am.", I nodded.
"Can I go?". She nodded in response.
After being detained, I rush to the cafeteria. One of the noisiest places on campus. People pushing in line, throwing food, and just being ignorant. I grab a tray and head straight for the salad bar. The only real food being served. I grab e every vegetable within my reach, just wanting to get out of there. Without looking I move to leave and someone bumps into me. I lose my balance and my tray flies into the air. My cranberry juice runs all down of the front of my blouse. On my butt in the middle of the line, great just great! I feel hands on my arms trying to help me up. Someone was repeating I am sorry over and over again. Not caring who it was I pushed them away. I grab my backpack and ran from the cafeteria. Heading straight for my car, I never head the footsteps following me. I jerk open my door and sling in my backpack. A hand touches my shoulder. I spin around and yell,"What!" It was the new guy. " I'm so sorry for bumping into you! It was an accident. Its Kasey, right?" Jason stammered out. " Don't worry about it!" I snapped as I got into my car and slammed the door. Stunned into silence, he stood there as I drove away. I resisted the urge to shout obscenities at him. No you're better than that I tell myself.
