[Discontinued] The Big Five in High School

Chapter 4

CH4: Skipping Class

{ J A C K }

Sigh.. My friends could've embarrassed me to Elsa a little earlier. I just wish they didn't say anything to her.

I really wish we could get together more. Get closer. I might grow courage to admit my feelings.

No, I also didn't wanna grow close to her. Apparently, I have friends who suck at stuff like this and just might embarrass me. Sigh.. I hope she likes me this way too, even if we haven't met.

"Hey, Jack? You still there?" Hiccup snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Ohh. Yep.." I said blankly, still staring at the table.

"What's with him?" Punz rolled her eyes.

"Lovestruck, I guess." Hiccup responded. Hey! I'm still here.

Just as I was about to respond, the bell rang.

"Guys, what's your next subject?" Punzie asked, being the person she is.

"Gym." Merida said blankly.

"Geometry." Hiccup responded.

"Shucks.. I have Music." Punzie said, a bit down. "How about you, Jack?"

"Uhh.. Study Hall.." I responded emotionless.

"Lucky.." Hiccup nudged me.

"Oww!" I said.

Study Hall is a subject basically for studying. You don't really do anything but study. And since teachers in study hall often drift to sleep or read a novel, you can do anything you want.

"Well, let's get going." Punzie said, standing up.

"I-I'll follow.." I stammered a bit silently.

"Suit ye self, mate." Mer said, as the three of them walked away.

I clearly do not want to embarrass myself this year. High School is the year people learn.. about Love.

Ohh what am I saying? I only have a small crush on the popular guy. Technically, I bet he doesn't have feelings for me at all. I'm just the new girl. He's the star. Sigh..

I storm out of the cafeteria, wanting to disappear from this school. Anna's happy with her friends and I'm just that girl who absolutely has no one to turn to.

What's my next class? Ugh.. French. I head to my locker and grab my stuff. Ohh how I wanted to just disappear. I just wanted to skip all my next classes.

Then I suddenly thought about it. What if I do skip class? I'll just hide in the girls bathroom. No, I'll hide somewhere near the football field, read my novel and be completely gone in the sight of others. The football field has some branchy, leafy, tall tress nearby.

I'm desperate, okay? I don't care if I become mannerless, or create a bad image. I'm desperate to disappear. Be invisible as I already am.

I grabbed my diary from my locker, grabbed the stuff I needed for the next few classes. I needed it just in case I get caught. I do not wanna get caught.

This will get back at me someday. Yes, me skipping class would totally make a bad record. And plus, being a new student, if I magically appear tomorrow, it would make people suspicious. But I'm desperate. And maybe my desperation has no limits.

As soon as I could, I rushed quickly outside. I spotted a large tree. It looked like it had strong branches. I went up as high as I could, making sure I was hidden from sight. Then I took out my phone and earphones and listened to music. Soon, I zoned out, fast asleep.
