Because Of You

Meet Up

It was about 2 in the morning and I couldn't go to sleep. It was a Friday so this was the last day. Also, we have a Joey Special tonight so that's good. Too many things are on my mind. I haven't been thinking about anything but that. Now, it's all I can think about. When I got to sleep–if I ever do–I'm going to call that guy in the morning. I'm going to meet up with him. How do I go to sleep?

I decided to get up and get some warm milk. After I got that ready, I drank it all and climbed back into bed. 2:46 AM. Oh my gosh. Count sheep. 1... 2... 3... OH! I got on my phone and looked up music to help go to sleep. I clicked on a video and turned it all the way up and set it on my dresser. I covered myself, dug my head into the fluffy pillow and fell asleep.

And just like that, it morning. I washed my hair, put on some clothes, and woke up the kids. While they were getting dressed I made some pancakes with orange juice again.

"Hey guys, I need to take a phone call real quick so I'll be in that room." I pointed at the office and left. I think I put the papers in here. OOH, found it! Name.. Address.. Physician... Number! 984-917-8566. I got out my phone and dialed the number.

One ring..

Two rings..

Three rings, four-

"Hello?"

"Ciao, this is Joey Tribbiani, the teacher from Zach's home room." I emphasized my name to hopefully make him nervous.

"Oh hello. Is there something wrong?" He asked.

"No I was just wondering," NOW IM THE BRAVE ONE! Ahem. "Can we meet up? I was wondering if I could talk to you about.." Think Joey think! "Zach."

"Oh, okay. When, where, and what time."

"Tomorrow at my house. 2 PM. That good?"

"That's fine. Have a good day."

"You too, bye." I hung up. Gosh that was scary. He might've been the bad one in high school and not anymore but wow. Or am I just the scaredy cat? Hmm... Okay stop thinking! Geez Joey! I walked back to the kitchen and found that they were all done eating.

"You're done?" Pretty surprising. Guess they were hungry.

"Yep. I may have finished of Ronnies." Oil chuckled.

"Okay well lets go!" I said.

The day flew by pretty fast. Students were nice and focused. The classes were good. Dinner was good too. Of course it was, we had the Joey Special. Then night fall came.

I couldn't go to sleep again. The things that happened in high school replayed over and over again. Chandler hated me in high school. He would gang up on me and push me in locker, throw my stuff on the ground, spread rumors, ANYTHING to get me to leave. I don't know why. But there was one time... we were partnered up for a project and we were over at my house. It was just us and my dog, Ally.

FLASHBACK

"Ugh. I wish I didn't have to come to your stupid house." Chandler said, sitting down.

"Calm down. No one will know." I said.

"Fine," he pouted. "If something does happen to me, I'm going to hurt you so bad."

I chuckled and got out my notebook. He wasn't that scary now since we work together.

"Okay, so we have one more slide to do and then we are finished, right?" I asked.

"Why are you asking me?"

"Because you're working with me."

"So?"
