It's Better If You Don't Know the Truth (Unfinished)

Chapter Two- The Sandwich

As my mom pulled into the circle drive of Jefferson Middle School, I was wondering about how I would react if I failed to be Student of the Year.

As I was getting out of the car, I yelled, "Bye, Mom! Love you!!" Then, I quickly ran into the gates of my school.

I was running frantically, my heart was pounding, and my stomach was growling. I saw a blurry figure in front of me. Next thing I know, I'm on the floor face-to-face with my crush Brandon with a sore forehead.

Brandon got up and picked up his stuff. "Sorry, I didn't see you. Are you alright?"

"Y-Y-Yeah.... I-I'm fine..." I stammered.

"Here, let me help you." Brandon held out his hand.

This felt llike a dream, yet here I am, face-to-face with him!! Just as I was about to take his hand, my stomach growled very loadly. So loud, that even Brandon could hear it. Immediately, I regretted sleeping through my alarm and not eating breakfast. Why, oh why do the most embarrassing things have to happen to ME?!?! Why not somebody else?? I thought quietly to myself.

I was ready to face Brandon's laughter, but he took me by surprise. Instead of laughing, he smiled and reached in his lunch box. He pulled out a sandwich and handed it to me.

"For me? But isn't that YOUR lunch??" I was speechless.

"Yeah, but I brought an extra sandwich just in case I was famished. But it seems you need it more."

"N-N-No.. It's alright.. I shouldn't accept this because it's rightfully yours."

"Take it as my apology for running into you." Brandon shoved the sandwich in my hand and ran  away.

I was blown away by what just happened. My crush gave me a sandwich! I should keep it forever as a memory. Inside, I was doing the happy dance. My mind was racing. For a second, I didn't know who I was or where I was.

When the 7th grade's 10 minute break came, I felt a little faint. I took Brandon's sandwich and gobbled it up. After I ate it, I felt better, but not completely full. At least I wasn't starving to death.. So long to that memory!

At my 5th period, I started feeling a bit weird.. I felt.. Invinsible... I felt like I could accomplish anything in the world. I don't know why, but after that, I suddenly had urges to do something crazy.

As soon as I got home, I told my mom everything that happened to me today. She says that I might be running a fever so she took my temperature and it was normal. Then she said that I might have imagined it. I don't know why, but  to me, it seems like she was trying to deceive me or something..
