Car Crash

Chapter seven

The world appeared to look different. For some reason all the colors were brighter than normal.

When we arrived at Colby's house he helped me out then carried my suitcase in. He helped up his porch steps and unlocked his door.

We walked in and his mother walked up to us. "Katie it's nice to see you again!" She says "it's very nice to see you to Ms. Schere" "oh you can call me Kathrine" she says.

I use to come to Colby's a lot when I was a little kid so she knew me better than my parents knew Colby. She walked into the kitchen and yelled "Colby have manners and show her to her room!"

Colby rolls his eyes and leads me down the hall to his room. One thing you should know about Colby is he is the complete opposite of his mother. His mom always had her house completely clean and neat. Everything was proper and perfect.

Colby however was the complete opposite. He's room was always a complete disaster. His mom would never walk into his room she would always knock and ask him to come out into the hall. We walked in and he lays my suitcase and book bag on his bed.

I sit down on his bed and give him a look. He groans and starts to clean his room. I was always able to get Colby to clean his room.

I never knew why but Colby would always clean his room for me. As soon as Colby finishes cleaning we hear a knock on his door.

*Knock *knock "Colby?" Colby opens his door and his moms eyes light up. She walks over to me and gives me a gentle hug. I think she crying.

"I have no idea what it is you do but whenever your here his room is always clean." She says wiping her eyes. "Oh it's no problem, I love getting Colby to clean his room"

I wink at Colby and he rolls his eyes. "Feel free to to come over as much as you was!" She says. "Oh and diner is ready for whenever you guys are!"

I get up and start walking out when I turn to look at Colby then his bed. He lets out a sigh before he starts making it.

Colby's table always a couple extra chairs. I really seemed to notice till now. Colby's parents have been divorced for awhile. He went to see his dad every now and than but mainly stayed with his mom.

I didn't realize how it never bugged Colby or his mom. They were both always happy with the way it was. Colby never talked about his dad much, but I guess it's because I never asked.

I looked up at Colby and our eyes meet. He smile and I returned the smile. After his mom went to sleep and I took a shower.

It was hard to get clean, but I finally got done. I then grabbed my crutches and walked out. I say Colby laying on the couch on his phone.

I walk over to him and say "you can sleep in your bed with me, just stay on your side" he jumps up and says "deal" we both walk to his room and he turns out the light.

I wake and grab my phone. Jasmine texted wanting to know if I was going to be at school. I text back yes and start getting ready. I grab a bra, skinny jeans, t-shirt, sweatshirt, and a choker.

I get dressed then out my hair in a quick messy bun. Colby walks in and grabs his phone, keys, and book bag. I walk to the bathroom and brush my teeth. Colby helps me with my stuff and we get in his car.

When we arrive at the school everything seems normal. Colby comes and helps me out of the car and with my stuff.

He walk into the school together and everything is silent. I don't remember school being this quiet or was it and I just never noticed.

As we walk down the the hallway there are lines of kids on both sides. They were all just staring at us. To brake the awkward silence I said "hey look it's Katie the one you guys always make fun of! Go ahead I'll pretend I'm not listening so you can talk behind my back." No one says a word.

The bell rings and everyone quickly heads to class. Colby follows me to first period with my stuff. Lucky we had first period together. Jasmine sat beside Colby and me.

"Ok everyone find a class partner!" What did she just say.
