The Survival Weapon 3rd book of The Survival Games series

CHAPTER TWO

When I left the restroom, I wanted nothing more than to go home, but that would have made me look like a failure, instead I went straight to my next class which was art, even though my class wasn't about to start until fifteen minutes.

"Annabelle." Mr. Wave called.

"I know I'm not supposed to be here." I said. "But can I stay?"

"Sure." He said. I smiled at him. "But you'll need to draw me something you love, that you find inspiration into."

"Okay." I said a little nervous. "When is it due?"

"Tomorrow, when you walk in this class." He said. I nodded, I took out my folder that had my drawings, so I could draw what was due tomorrow, but I had no idea what to draw.

I sat there thinking really hard, minutes passed when it hit me.... Music.

Someone pulled out a chair next to me, I looked up and it was Josh.

"Are you okay?" Josh asked. I nodded. "I went to the nurse office to see if you were there but you weren't. Ivy and Romana went to every single restroom in this school, but you weren't' in any of them"

"Josh, I'm not trying to be mean, but I don't want to talk." I said apologizing. He nodded, but he kept sneaking glances at me to see if I was fine.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." I said to him. He nodded once again but unsure.

After art, we had drama; I had drama with Josh and Romana, also Erika. Drama was spectacular (sarcasm.) Erika was sure being the drama queen, she kept giving dirty jokes about me to her classmates, which was pissing me off, but I definitely ignored her. Josh was watching her carefully.

"I mean her name should not be Anna-BELLE." I heard Erika said to one of her friends that were in the drama class. "It should be Anna-BITCH." She and her friends laughed.

"Mrs. Jensen." Josh called out loud, so everyone in the class heard him.

"Yes." Mrs. Jensen responded.

"Erika is being rude to my girlfriend." Josh continued, I was shocked, he just called me his girlfriend, I smiled, Erika laughed suddenly, and everyone turned to look at her.

"What are you talking about Josh?" She said innocently, some of her friends laughed.

"Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about." Josh said with disgust. "You keep on saying mean words and giving mean jokes about Anna and you know it." Josh finished, Erika simply looked at him.

"I don't know what you're talking about." She said, smiling pleasantly. "Sorry, Joshy."

"Don't call me Joshy. Especially when I don't even like you." Josh said.

"Ooh." The whole class said. Erika was blushing fiercely.

"Sorry." Josh apologized. "But it's the truth."

"What was she saying about Anna?" Mrs. Jensen asked.

"She kept saying mean things and keeps calling Anna the B-word." Josh responded. Mrs. Jensen turned to look at Erika.

"Erika, I would love nothing more to send you to the principal, but that won't be worth it." She said. Erika smiled. "I want you to write 1000 sentences that say 'I was rude to call Annabelle a bitch and that will never happen again' and also you should write a letter of apology that contains at least 1000 words on it for Annabelle, and they're due tomorrow when you walk in this class." Everyone in the room gasped.

"That's not fair." Erika said.

"Life's not fair." Josh said. "You should have known better not to call Anna the B-word."
