Life With Ihascupquake

-3-

I saw Parker, Conner, and Ella talking to eachother at the big tree and decided to join them. "Hi" I said. "Hi" they said at the same time.

"So what classes do you guys have?" asked Hazel.

"I have Mr.Miller first, Ms.Chavez second, Mr.Jones third, Ms.Williams fourth, Ms.Sanchez fifth, and Mr.Peterson sixth" Parker said.

"And I have Mr.Miller for science, Mr.Jones for P.E., Ms.Lopez for music, Ms.Chavez for math, Ms. Sanchez for english, and Mr.Peterson for history" Conner said.

"I've got History, English, P.E., Math, Music, and Science" Ella said.

"Hey Connor. Hey Parker" Hunter said as he approached our group. "Hi" they said. "Let's play some football" Hunter said as he tossed the football in the air.

"Sure" they said. "Bye babe" Parker said before giving Ella a kiss on the cheek.

"Ooh Ella" we said. She rolle her eyes, "Come on we've been together for a year and a half" she said. "Wow" I said.

The bell rang which meant we had to go to first period. I walked to class with Hazel and Ella.

I sat in the back next to Hazel. Ella and Parker sat near us.

"Do you guys want to come to McDonald's with us after schoo?" Parker asked. "Sure just let me ask my mom" I said.

I sat in Art class in between Hazel and Parker.

"This week's assignment is to draw something that represents you" Ms.Williams said.

"What are you drawing?" Parker asked.

"A rose" Hazel said. "What about you Paige?" Hazel asked.

"I'm not sure what represents me" I said. "Oh. Well what are you drawing Parker?" Hazel asked.

"I think a Golden Retriever" he replied. "Why a Golden Retriever?" I asked.

"Because I'm awesome and everyone loves me" he said confidently. I rolled my eyes ,"Whatever" I mumbled.

"So did your parents let you come to McDonald's with us?" Parker asked. "Yeah we just have to be home by 5 o'clock" I said. "Cool we can walk to one ten minutes away from here" he said.

The bell rang and we grabbed our backpacks to go to lunch. I sat with Conner, Parker, Ella, Mackenzie, and Hazel at the same tabel as yesterday.

"What should I paint for art class?" I asked no one in general. "Probably a pig because your fat and you smell" Jessica's annoying voice said.

I took a deep breath as the tears threatened to come out. "Or maybe a skunk because everyone runs away when they see you" she said. Her and Hunter satrted laughing.

I got up from my seat. "I need to go to the library" I said. I walked across the cafeteria. I felt many eyes on me as people snickered.

As I left the cafeteria I felt a hard object come in contact with my head. I looked to the floor to see that and apple was thrown at me.

I couldn't keep it in longer. The tears poured out of my eyes. "Crybaby!" Hunter yelled. Everyone started laughing and taunted me.

I wiped my tears and walked quickly to the football field. I walked to the back where security couldn't see me.

I sat and cried as those awful thoughts came into my head. What's wrong with you Paige? Your'e too weak. A tear escaped my eye.

I saw Parker and Ella walk towards me. I quickly wiped the tears.

"Hey are you okay?" Parker asked. "I'm fine. I just have a headache" I lied.

"Seriously Paige you can tell us anything" Ella said. "Okay. But don't judge me" I said. "Okay" they agreed.

"Its just that even the tiniest things hurt me. There can be times that no one tells me anything at all. But there's sort of these voices or thoughts or whatever in my head. If someone gives me a look I have thoughts like 'she thinks you're a freak' and stuff like that. And these things just get to me" I said.

"Wow" they whispered. You shouldn't have told them that stupid. Now they'll think you're some kind of emo mental freak.

I grabbed my backpack and left. "Paige" Ella said. I turned to look at her. She didn't say anything so I left. I checked my phone and saw that there were three minutes left until the bell rang.

I quickly texted Mackenzie and told her that I couldn't make it to McDonald's.

I kicked the dirt around and stared at the floor as I waited for the bell to ring. I have never been so eager to get to class.

The bell finally rang and I rushed to my next class. I entered the classroom to see that I was the first one.

I sat at the back of the classroom trying not to be noticed.

"Did you see Hunter and Jessica? They were getting touchy during lunch" a girl said. "I heard they were making out in the hallway" another girl said. "I saw Ella and Parker getting intense during lunch" a third girl claimed.

They blabbered about how they wanted to go out with them. "People said that Hunter has a twin brother and he's going to our school soon" a girl named Ariel said. "I hope he's as cute as Hunter" she giggled.

I sat through the rest of my classes in silence. I couldn't wait to go home. So when the final bell rang I was the first one out.
