The Life We Gave Up

Chapter 5.

I saw he was trying hard not to tell me.

"SAM!" I tried once more.

"Look I dont know. But he said who ever it is important. I have to go." He rushed pass me and left the class. I tried to case after him but he was lost in the crowd of other students.

I left the class after a minute so I would stay clear of being shoved around.

Once I reached my room I cleaned up to make it nice. Sence it is Friday the vice principle inspects all the rooms today.

I made all four beds. Sence the others are most likely at a friends, so they won't any time soon. I laid in my bed waiting for the inspection.

Why does Sam have to be a total jerk? There has to be something he's not telling me.

Why can't he just tell me? It hurts to know he did this, but it hurts more to not know who the girl is that took Justin from right under my nose.

I sighed in frustration. Oh Justin, why would you do this.

"Problems?" a familiar face asked. I looked up to see Ava standing there. She looked more worn down then usual.

"No, I just... " I couldn't think of anything else to say. "The room is a mess and I can't pick it up on my own." I lied strait through my teeth.

I got of my bed and began to clean. Ava started helping and grabbed things of of her desk and placed them neatly in one of her baskets.

Ava was always the neatest person here. She made the room dazzle in minutes. But only on inspection day she would help clean Hannah's and Kasy's side of the room.

"I have the sleep over here tonight. Do you have a friends room your going to, because I know Hannah and Kasy aren't coming back."

"Yeah I came back to help tidy up and to grab a few things."

"Ok." I was relieved to hear that from her. She was almost like a sister, so I was always checking on her.

Once we got done cleaning Ava left. So I massaged Grace to bring a movie.

Then I placed my anni pad on Avas bed and walked over to the small cube sized room that they called a room Kitchen. I knew though that this wasn't a kitchen. I read about them in books about normal homes and collages that the kids would go to after 12th grade.

Our rooms were nothing like either two. Two sets of buck beds were placed near each wall. One close to the door and the other away. Then In the middle of both on the wall forward is a T.V. With a digital V.V. player.( V.V. is 4 generations after the dvd). Then to the left of the room is a 'kitchen'. It has a microwave plus, a small fridge and a bit of counter space. Then a pantry of foods you buy. After that there's the bathroom that sits right in front of the enterence.

I grabbed one of the popcorn bags and placed it in the microwave plus. Yet I didn't start it yet. I was going to wait till after inspection.

I claimed back on to my bed waiting for Grace on which movie she picked. But all I got back was "it's a surprise".

Just then someone knocked at the door. I quickly jumped off my bed and ran to the door. The vice principle came in. At first she looked at all beds. Then she wrote what seems to be complete scribbles onto a clipboard she held in her hands.

After inspecting sleeping quarters she walked into the kitchen and open the pantry. She walked back and forth as she wrote more stuff on her bored.

"Good job Miss. Paterson." With that she left. Only seconds later Grace ran in with a bag of her stuff in one hand and her book bag in the other.

"Hey how's it going?"She asked as she closed the door behind her. She through her bags on Avas bed.

Instantly I thought of Justin.

"Fine." I lied. "How are you?"

"AMAZING!" she sang as she plopped down next to her bags.

"What happend?"

"I got 100% on the math test." She said. But I could tell that wasn't it. But before I could ask, she jumped up and started talking about random things.

"Oh Grace what movie did you pick?" I said as I walked into the kitchen to cook the popcorn.

"Some Horror movie I stole from a roommate." she beamed. I felt my self laugh at how happy she was about stealing.

............

About half way through the movie I got really bored of it. It was to predictable. Most likely made in 2087. I passed out just trying to talk about it.

~DREAM~

I was walking down the hall. Suddenly someone tripped me. I looked up to see who it was but all I saw was blond hair fly across the corner of the hall.

I tried to follow her. I felt so mad. But then I was confronted by many laughing faces in the hall. As I tried to walk past them they started making a path for me.

Then I saw Justin. A smile crept across my face. I started to run to him. I wanted to be with him. But he was sitting in some chair... and the girl with blond hair placed perfectly on his lap.

She bent over and kissed him. Then she did some retarded giggle. That's when she turned her face.

I shot out of bed. I was dripping sweat. There was only one thing on my mind.

Grace.
