The Dark Always Follows

Chapter Two: The Nurse's Office

I woke up in fear. I didn't know where I was. I started shaking and panicking. Then I felt something hold me down as that have calmed me down. Then as the world got clearer to me in my point of view. I noticed a bright light pointing in my eye. Then I realized I was in the nurse's office and she was checking if I was doing okay. "You must of hit the ground pretty hard for you to pass out" she said. "Oh sorry I forgot to introduce myself I'm Ms. Mandy" Ms. Mandy said. "Your Jen right" Ms. Mandy said. "Y..e..s" I muttered. "Its fine you don't have to speak I know honey about your disorder your fine" she said so nicely. That was the first time in so long some one has actually been kind to me. Most of the time she was talking about herself and how her husband left her. Also she told me that the school triedto call my mom, but of course she didn't answer as usual. Then she told me about her son that he's married and has 2 kids with his wonderful wife. To be honest it was the nicest conversation I've ever had. After she has bandaged my head up and gave me an ice pack to put on my head.

I went to my first class math. The teacher's name is Mr. Thompson. No one really likes him because he gives way to much homework and he's so strict like if you breath hard. He'll send you to the principle's office and then you have to explain yourself to the principal and that's very hard in my opinion, but if you ask the others. They pay the principal to let them go. Well that what everyone is saying. As I sit down I hear someone say "Do you need that ice pack for you stupidity". I ignore and I got my stuff ready for math. Pre- Calculus is what we are learning this year. I barely pay attention because I'm not going to need this in my life ever. Expect if I want to be a teacher and that's not going to happen. When class was over I notice everyone talking with their friends and walking around with them, but me you see I'm walking alone scared of them alone and mumbling alone.

As I walk into the next class I hear a girl say "Walk faster you" I start walking faster in fear. You think someone will tell them to stop but they don't care no teacher cares and especially no student cares. I walk in the next class it's English. Thank god I didn't get Mrs. Smith because it would have been awkward year for me. Instead I got Mrs. Phillips. She is really a lazy teacher she barely teaches us anything. The only thing she gives us are projects to work on with partners and no one really cares about it so that's why they pay nerds to do it for them. Where I sat is no where special I usually sit in the back and in the darkest corner I can find. "Hello class we will be doing a project this semester. It's where you do an essay about your other partner. I'll be assigning the partners " she said. I shake in fear this can not turn out good for me especially if someone else is writing about me. As she saying the partners. I hear my name "Jen you'll be with..." my is heart thumping in anxiety."Paige" she said. Paige is a dirty blonde haired hazel eyed girl and she's one of the best people on her soccer  team. Every guy adores her as well. She is one of Lily's best friends now. I believe she is the one who pushed me down and broke my nose. I slowly start shaking when everyone turns around to look at me like I have just murdered someone. I see out of the corner of my eye Paige roll her eyes as I see Lily laughing making fun of Paige because she got assigned to me.

While everyone was with there partner asking questions about one another. I try to go up to Paige, but she completely ignored me, so I walked back to my sit. So for almost the whole class period I sat alone just looking down on my feet trying to ignore Paige and her friends. It's depressing to be a loner by myself but last year at least I had Lily, but now I have no one. We only had like five mins left of class. Paige and her friends came up to my desk and said, "Hey you should come to my house on Friday I'm throwing a party because it's our last year of high school everyone is going to be there you should come". I didn't know why they would want me to come, so I just said ok and they walked away laughing.

As I walk in the halls guys push me around back and forth. I fall but they don't help me up. They walk away laughing. I see out of the corner of my eye. The guy I liked last year Ethan I see his face as if he feels sorry for me. I see him walking up to me "Are you okay those guys are jerks" he said as he helped me up. "Y...ea..h" I said. I was so flattered that someone actually acknowledged me. Let me tell you about Ethan. He is hottest guy in school in my opinion every girl adores him, so I don't know why he would talk to me in the first place and help me up either. He has short slickly brown hair ocean blue eyes with black glasses. He is so smart and kind and I adore that.

After school I decide if I want to go to Paige's party in 3 days on Friday. I wanted to go because this was the first time I got invited to a party that everyone is going to. I decided to go, so now I need to figure out what should I wear. So I went up to my mom and said I'm going to the mall and I'm going to use her credit card. She didn't say anything I just took her car and credit card and went. So when I got to the mall I didn't see anyone familiar thank god. I went to this store called Nordstrom. I saw this amazing stunning black lace dress sleeveless and with a heart shaped neckline. Right away I knew that was going to be the dress.
