Chapter 4
Mia and I were good now, but we never talked about Thomas again, my life was awesome, mostly because mom had asked the principal if Mia could sit next to me in our classes. Mia didn't realize this, but after we were sitting together, I could easily see everything that she did, including tests and quizzes. After that day, I began getting from Cs to As. I always wanted to get As, and now it was it was like a miracle, I waited and she did it. I felt a bit guilty, but it is not like Mia is having to do any extra work or anything, she would still be getting As and doing good, for me I would call it a win win, or at least just a win for me.
Mia and I were talking pretty much every night before mom would go in the room and tell us for the 15th time that it was time for bed.
We talked about anything that came to mind we came from saying goodnight to talking freely about our struggles. My sister even got me to tell her about my bullies, she got really mad that I didn't tell her before.
It made me happy to see that at least someone cared about me.
Mom new about Meghan and her gang but she didn't really know that things were going that far. I didn't bother telling her because I knew that she could get over protective over time.
On Monday we had a pop quiz in math. I wasn't worried about it because I had Mia, but the problem is that Mia was worried.
" What is going on?" I asked after I saw the worried look on her face.
" I feel sick, but I don't want to miss the pop quiz" – She said before Mrs. June handed out the quiz.
I didn't know what to say, I needed Mia, I would fail the quiz without her. But at the same time, I could see that she wasn't feeling very well.
" You should go to the nurse" – My mouth spoke so fast that. Didn't even have time to think about it.
The moment that Mia left the room and Mrs. June gave me my quiz, I immediately regretted what I had said. I was stuck, and I could not figure out what X equals.
When we only had 3 minutes to finish the quiz a took a look at my paper, I didn't have one pencil mark on the paper. I realized that if I cursed I had a better chance of getting a better score so by the time Mrs.june collected our pop quizzes I had done all f the questions. It was easy because it was multiple questions, and since there where 4 choices for each question, I realized that I had 25% of chance of getting the question right. Now all I had to do was sit back and hope that I got lucky.
It turns out that Mia got the Stomach bug. The stomach bug has been going around our school for over a month, it all began when this kid named Jefferson ate a sticky gum that someone else left it under the table. Jefferson got sick, but his mom still made him to to school. That day Jefferson spread his gum sickness to others at school, later the teachers changed the name to stomach bug,even thought the stomach bug is a who other sickness. The teachers did this mostly because Jefferson was getting picked on. I guess that's what you get when you eat 66 day old gum from under the table.
In the morning I went to take a shower, and as the warm water came down my hair, I realized that my red hair dye was almost gone. I took one close look at the color of my hair. Dirty blond. Just like Mia. How was it possible? How can Mia and I have the exact same hair color?
After the shower, I searched up on my iPod if it is possible for 2 different girls to have the exact same hair color. Well, I guess I must have been pretty stupid because google didn't understand my question. So I decided to ask mom, my mom said;
" Of course, I am just glad you finally got that poison of your hair, I cant believe your ant would give you such a thing"
What mom was talking about was my hair dye, because for Christmas a few months ago, aunt Molly gave me red hair dye. I don't see nothing wrong with it, but mom on the other hand, she got mad, mad at me and ant Molly. So now, 3 months and a half latter the dye has come of. I was gonna ask mom to buy more, but I know how she feels when it comes to hair dye, so I didn't even bother.
My mom is 41 years old, even thought 41 may not seem like an old age, well, mom is different, like I told you before, my mom doesn't like hair dye, so she never put the product in her hair. So right now, my mom looks Like she is 60. I mean she has like a lot of white hair, it is unbelievable.
