Life's Painful Road

Chapter 9

I sat at my laptop and sighed. I wrote down notes and threw my pencil on the table. I slumped in my seat then I felt my mom come up and place her hand on my shoulder. I looked up at her as she stared at my screen.

"Why is it so hard? I mean, I just want to go to college!!" I complained. She took a seat next to me and handed me my pencil.

"All you have to do is take this number multiply it by this and then square it. This gives you that answer." She said writing in my page. I watched carefully. "Lastly, you take this number you were given, add it then multiply the answer by this number given, then ta-da!!" She said. I stared at my paper then at her.

"How?" I stuttered. She laughed then got up.

"College will help." She said. I sighed.

"Not helpful." I yelled. I heard her laugh as I put in my answer and went on. After about three hours of doing algebra, reading, and science, I was over it!! All I wanted to do was hold Zack. He had left a few days earlier. He had stayed until I got my cast off and was put in boot. I reached for my phone to text Carlie.

Hey!! How's it going with Kason?

Great!! I really think he's the one for me. He's so kind and respectful and he takes time out his plans just for me!!

Awesome!! That's exactly how I feel about Zack!! He will stop time for me! I really think Kason is the one for you. But remember, all things are not what they seem.

You don't have to remind me!! Kyle freakin BROKE MY HEART!!! But, I know Kason won't do that.

I didn't think Zack would do that, but look what happened.

  Yeah yeah. You're putting me down. Just shut up about boys. How's school?

  Ok. Algebra is killing me. I'll be lucky if I make it out with a C.

  Haha. Well... how much longer? U know... until u come home? And where will u stay?

  Only 2 more weeks!!! And I'll stay with my dad or Zack. But prob my dad.

  Woohoo! 2 more weeks!!!

  Ha! Well, I got to go. More school...

  Kk. See ya.

  Bye.

  I placed my phone down and looked at my computer. So much work! I thought. I just decided to get ready for bed. I got up from my chair, wincing in pain as I put pressure on my leg after three hours. I started limping to my room to take a shower.

  The warm water hit my scalp and I sighed. I combed my fingers through my hair a few times before adding shampoo. I scrubbed then rinsed. I got out and the cold air hit my bare body. I shivered and hopped over to get a towel before putting my boot back on. I put in some shorts and an oversized shirt as I climbed into my bed. I took my boot off and put on my brace for the night. The brace was stiff so it acted like a boot, just wasn't as big and bulky. I sighed as I slid down into my soft pillow and dozed off. I dreamed of the day Zack and I got married. I had a beautiful white princess gown and he had a dapper suit. I felt myself grin as I opened my eyes to the bright sun peering in through my window.

A.N. Sorry this one is SO much shorter. I honestly had nothing to write about... but I'm SO EXCITED about the next chapter!!! Hope y'all are as excited as me. Kk, bye!!!
