Just My Luck

Chapter 8

TOBY'S P.O.V

Okay. Don't be such a freak. You can do this Toby!! I thought to myself.

I let out a deep breath and walked over to Emma's locker.

"Uh hi Emma!" I smiled.

"What did I say?!" She growled at me.

"I know I know it's just I have a question to ask you." I shifted all my weight I my left foot.

"Well ask away!" she rolled her eyes and looked at the herd of people behind her.

I cleared my throat and pulled the flowers and gold fish from behind my back. "Will you go to the dance with me?" I smiled slightly.

"Well uh. Two things."

I nodded eagerly.

"1: what's with the fish?"

"Oh, well you said that you had a fish before and he died so I got you a new one!" I exclaimed.

"Uh.. okay? Any ways so, 2: can you repeat your question again?"

"I-uh- will you go to the dance with me?" I stood evenly on both my feet.

She laughed and looked at the crowd and they started laughing too. "He actually thinks he could have a chance with me!?" She laughed even harder.

Her purple haired friend chipped in, "Poor wittle baby! Gonna cwy?" She pouted. I just stood there holding out the flowers and fish when a person I didn't know took the flowers from me and started ripping them up.

I was this close to running out of there but then Emma took the fish, threw it on the ground and killed it with her stiletto heels. "Oh and if I wasn't clear enough, that was a no!! So scram!!"

I didn't think twice before running and going to my locker to get my stuff for choir. On my way I bumped into Jackie.

"Hey T!" She smiled.

I mumbled something that could or couldn't have been a 'hi'.

"What's up? are you okay?." her tone was softer that before.

I shrugged and shut my locker and walked ahead of her trying not to talk about it but she just stuck next to me. "C'mon. Please?" She was constantly poking my shoulder.

"Ugh fine." She did a mini victory dance and listened up while I told her what happened.

After words she gave me a hug. "I'm sorry!! Yah know she's just a big bitch yah know that?" I chuckled a bit and she pulled away. "So besides that, what's up?" She tried to lighten the mood. I smiled.

JACKIE'S P.OV

I pulled my backpack onto my right shoulder and stared down at my phone as I walked to the bus. The stupid bus driver parks all the way across the road and almost every other day I miss the bus. I giggle to my self to back when I was an overly dramatic kid.

~Flash back~

It was my first day of middle school. I woke up with a start not even looking at the clock and threw off my clothes and was frantically searching for my first day of school outfit. I finally found it and quickly slipped them on. It was a turquoise see through shirt that buttoned up, but I only buttoned up to the part just before my c cup boobs so they were on full show, and white pants with black converse with white laces.

I ran into the bathroom and did my makeup and straightened my dirty brown hair and brushed my teeth.

I grabbed my back back and ran out the door at full speed to my bus stop. When I got there no one accompanied me. I started freaking out. I was wheezing and using my inhaler every couple of seconds and pacing back and forth. I finally knocked some sense into my self and ran home.

I burst through the door "Mom!" wheeze "I missed!" wheeze "The bus!!" wheeze.

She had her robe on and her hair was a mess. "Jaquline?"

"Uh huh?" wheeze.

"It's 4:16 in the morning."
