Chapter 9

  The next day at school,Austin was waiting at the doors for me.I smiled like a dumbass and skipped over to him.His eyes were sparkling and he was grinning.

   "So,I see you have waited for me,"I hugged him and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

  "Well, of course I would, why wouldn't I wait for the most beautiful girl in the world,"he walked with me to the school.

    Everyone stared at us when we walked in with our hands together.Eyes were on me and I moved closer to Austin.

   "Its alright,don't be scared, pretend they aren't even there,"he whispered.

  "I'll try," I mumbled but I guess he heard since he grinned.

While we were walking I saw Raina and Jessica laughing.I felt hurt and a tear managed to fall from my cheek.I wiped it as quickly as I could and faked a smile.

    I let go of Austin's hand and walk to my locker.He walked to his locker which was beside Jessica also across from me.Raina was at her locker and Jessica whispered something then left to her locker.

  I couldn't look at her.She stabbed me.I thought she cared.She was a sister to me.

    I faked a smile trying to convince her and looked into my locker shoving my stuff in, hiding my face behind the locker door.She closed my locker door and I managed to pull my fingers away.I fake a smile again and tears rolled down my cheeks.

  Raina looked sad.Like she did something wrong.Is she fricken crazy?!She stabbed me.

  "I-i-i'm sorry,"she let the words out.

"Raina,why..why did you stab me,"I felt like she was really sad so I felt guilty.

     "Haha,you fell for it,"Raina laughed at me as Jessica walks and laughs with her.

  "What,"I stuttered,"I-I-I am sorry,for whatever I did,I'm sorry, everything,I am sorry!"

After that I ran straight for the bathroom.Luckily no one was in there.

   I looked at my phone and I got a text.

  It said,"Your father and are having a divorce."

I dropped my phone and stared at it.Tears filled my eyes and my knees felt weak.I fell to the ground and the tears fell onto the tiles of the floor.I couldn't stop crying and I hugged my legs to my chest holding it there.I didn't know what to do.First I lose my best friend then a divorce from my parents? Really?

    I didn't realize that someone followed me.Raina was standing there at the bathroom door.She walked over to me and Isobbed even harder into my knees.She picked up my phone and read the text.Raina put the phone back to where it was and left.

   I ditched school and walked out for ice cream. I needed to let all of my stress out.What's better than using ice cream.

      I walked home and sat on my bed.Tears filling up in my eyes as I remember the rest.I sob into my pillow with the sheets covering my body.I heard the door open and close.I didn't care if it was my mom or dad so I laid in bed crying.
