A Car Crash Can Change Someone's Life

Monday, May 15

The two weeks went by fast and it felt like school was going to go on forever. Chelsea, Megan, and I all sat at lunch like usual. Then I saw Brandon looking at me still feeling guilty, walking with his tray in his hand, and all of a sudden, everything spilled on me. Apparently, he bumped into someone when he was walking right behind me, and it spilled all over me.

My face was shocked and embarassed. Everyone was looking and laughing at me. I could see Brandon's face, and he felt bad. But I didn't care what he thought, or what anyone else thought. I got up from the seat and murmured under my breath, "Forget it." and just walked to the bathroom.

There was milk in my hair and spaghetti, with sauce on my pants. As I was rinsing off my hair and trying to wipe off the sauce, Brandon came running in.

"Sen, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I wasn't paying attention-"

"Forget it Brandon! I'm fine, okay? It's just a little spill, so you can go now." I didn't look at him once, I was too focused on cleaning my hair. Brandon had a depressed face on him and just walked away.

I don't need someone to tell me that they're sorry. It was just a spill, I'm fine, I'm not going to die! Lately, I've been in an angry mood, due to the fact that Brandon and I haven't been great friends lately. The real question is, WHY AM I STILL HERE, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO, GOD!

I went back in the cafeteria and I saw Brandon guiltily staring at me the rest of the time. I just rolled my eyes, not caring about him. A few minutes later, I was shocked to see Justin here at school. I wonder if he saved money to afford coming to school? He came over and asked if it was okay to sit with us. We all nodded our heads and I noticed that he was looking at me awkwardly. He mouthed if I was okay and I just nodded my head.

Walking to my next period, I was talking to Justin.

"So, did you save money so you could come back to school?"

"That and Zeke is actually helping with the money."

"Oh, really? That's sweet of him."

"Yeah, we're friends now so no more fighting for me."

I smiled at him, then hugged him telling him that I would see him soon.
