The Breakthrough (HIATUS)

The Breakthrough-Ch2

  As the day dragged on, it was finally time for spanish class. Then lunch right after. I quickly grabbed Ari, who was sitting down listening to her ipod and literally dragged her outside. "Dude! I was in the zone!", she said disappointed. "NO time for that! I have bigger problems!", i say kind of freaking out. "Lizzie chillax! Haha whatever it is, ill help you.", she assures. "You know how ash is in my guitar class right? NOW im assigned to him as a partner for a project we're doing! WTF do i do!?", i say freaking out now. "Calm down! Whats the worst that could happen? Isnt this what you secretly wanted? Haha". I gave her a dirty look. "I mean, yeah? I guess...but you know i cant function too well around him, let alone be partners with him!", i say. "Youll be fine. Now you know how I get when IM around marty! Haha! Just act cool, do the project, and it'll all be over before you know it. But you really do need to face your fears and just roll with the punches...", she says matter of factly. "Mhm..same with you and marty...and, by the way, ryan was asking about you in the courtyard.", i say. "K? And?", she says not really caring. "Idk...he just thinks marty is oversees you and you shouldnt waste your time..." i say looking at the ground. "How would he know anyways? Its not like hes ever showm affection towards me...and maybe marty is just shy...", she says rolling her eyes. Then she shrugged and we walked back inside.

  "Buenos dias! Bienvenidos a la clase de espanol! Me llamo Senora sanchez!", the teacher announces as she hands us all our syllabus. I sighed as i looked over the syllabus. I was excited, and at the same time dreading the fact that ashley was my partner. What if he doesnt feel the same way? I mean i know hes dating that son of a bitch, and i dont want any drama this year. AT ALL...I dont wanna look like a fool either, if anything. Mrs. sanchez then broke into my thoughts and says "Senorita! You need to pay attention! We started taking notes 10 minutes ago! Lets go, pull out your cuaderno y un lapiz!", she demanded, snapping her fingers. I sighed and started taking notes. Ari sensed something was up and texted me, "Whats wrong? :(". I texted her back saying, "Ill tell you at lunch :/". She nodded her head and continued taking notes. After spanish was over, me and ari headed towards the cafeteria. "Why so glum?", ari asked concerned. "Ughhhh idk...am i overthinking this whole ashley thing?", i ask looking at the sky. "Kinda...Youll be alright hun! I mean its an in class project anyways, not like you have to practice outside-", "Hey! Guys!", ryan says catching up to us with marty not too far behind. "Oh, Hey ryan...Marty!", ari says smiling. "Hello ladies!", marty says smiling at me. I sigh and continue walking to lunch. "Im SO ready to eat! Im SO hungry man!", ryan says running to the lunch room. "Haha when arent you hungry?", ari says laughing. "Hey now! For a girl you eat almost as much as me!", ryan says jokingly. Ari gives him a dirty look and slaps his arm. "Does anyone else think gym class 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or even 4TH for that matter should be fucking illegal!?", marty says joining the convo. "YES MAN, YES! I thought i was the only damn one!", ari says annoyed. They both laughed, and ryan and i just rolled our eyes as we picked out a table outside on the balcony. The 4 of us then walked into the cafeteria and waited in line for lunch. "Uh...dont look now, but theres ash and his army of skanks...", ari pointed out. We saw ash, selly, and lulu walking towards a table on the balcony. "Ugh, fuck me...i dont need this right now", i say burying my face in my hands. "Dont worry about them...its not like we're gonna be anywhere near them, haha", marty says putting his arm around me. Ari just looked at the ground. I quickly changed the subject and slightly moved away from marty. "So...how was everyones first couple of classes?", i asked. "Well, besides having gym first period...pretty grand.", marty says rolling his eyes. "Well i had tv production, english, french, and gym so...not too much going on there", ryan says while getting his lunch. "Psh..you have it good..I had gym SECOND period...ill trade you dude!", ari says desperately. "Haha, well idk what to tell you missy..go to guidance and see what they can do.", rayn says laughing. "Its NOT funny...but good idea...dont know why i didnt think of that BEFORE i headed to gym...", ari says annoyed. "Haha blonde moment!", i chime in. She gives me a look and playfully pushes me. As we all paid for our lunch, we head back to our table. But we see ash and his gang sitting there. "Oh HELL no...", ari says giving the group a dirty look from afar. "Did they NOT see our shit sitting there?", ryan says annoyed. "Lets go settle this NOW!", i say charging towards the table. "Oh hiiii, didnt see you coming!", selly says, giving me a fake smile. Lulu waved, smiling evily. "Did you NOT see our shit sitting there?", i say annoyed. "Oh? This was YOUR table?", selly says lifting up all our bookbags. "Perfect!", she says as she throws our bags down from the balcony. "HEY HEY HEY! I HAD AN EXPENSIVE CAMERA IN THERE!", ryan yells. "Oops! Our bad! Im sure theres plenty of other seats DOWNSTAIRS..", lulu says smirking. "Babe, lets just find another table..i knew someone was-", i cut ash off. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?", i say fuming. "Awww..looks like emo girls getting mad...im SO scared! please dont cut us!", selly says jokingly. "I swear to GOD youre skating on thin ice with me, little girl...", i say clenching my fists. Selly gives me an icy glare and slowly gets up from the table. We're now face to face. "Listen, scene fag. I dont know WHO you think you are, or who you think youre talking to, but this is MY school and YOU better watch your back or-" "OR WHAT?", i say about to punch her. Ari grabs my hand before i do so. "Oh, nothing...just remember your place in my school...youre trash, remember that..", selly says hatefully. My eyes never left her. I walked backwards giving her the dirtiest look. My face was as red as a tomato. "Can you believe her!?", ari says annoyed. "Bitch better not have broken my 200$ camera...", ryan says, fuming as well. "One day, those cunts will gets whats coming to them...just dont waste your time on them..plus, its the beginning of the year. NOT worth it...", marty says shaking his head in disgust. "I hope ash realizes that soon...", i say looking at the ground. We eventually found a table under the trees somewhere and someone helped us gather our thrown things. It was silent for a while, then ari remembered her gym issue. "Oh snap! Thats right! I have to get to guidance!", ari says jumping up. "Haha ok, ill go with you.", i say as we grab our bookbags and drinks. "See you guys tomorrow?", ryan says hugging us. "You always will..we're not going anywhere.", ari says jokingly. As we head towards guidance, i bring up ash again. "WHY does he like her?", i say annoyed. "Haha omg, not this again.", she says laughing. I give her a look. "Im serious! WTF does he see in her? Theres so many other girls out there he can be with, but he picks that...", i say shaking my head. "As in 'other girls', you mean yourself?", ari asks, with an eyebrow raised. I just blushed and looked at the ground. "Well, just tell him straight up how you feel and the brutal truth about selly!". "I cant just go out and say 'hey! sellys a bitch hoe and you belong with me!'", i say sarcasticaly. I wait in the lounge area as ari was talking to her guidance counselor about a schedule change. 10 minutes later, she comes running out. "Yay! Guess who has gym 4th period? This girrrrrl!", ari says in a sing song voice as we head back towards lunch. "Really, ari? WHO am i gonna talk to in spanish class?", i say kind of upset. "Um it was either that or switch lunches. so dont even, haha! We need to see each other at least once during the school day!", she says. "Haha true. One class is better than none for our last year together EVER!", i say hugging her tight. "I know! Im so happy to be out of this shit hole soon! After this, its off to art school for muah", ari says cheerfully. "Hopefully its off to los angeles, as far away from my family as humanely possible..", i say with sarcasm. "Youre gonna get in! Dont worry!", ari assures. "Dude..wtf am i gonna do? My satanic parents already called a harvard advisor who is supposedly supposed to be contacting me soon...", i say rolling my eyes. "The advisor cant make you go there.", she says serious. "yeah, but my damn parents can apparently...its either that or living under a bridge -_-", i say. "Im NOT letting something that awful happen to you! Got it!?", ari says angrily, and then laughs. "Haha, whatever you say chica".

  As the last 3 periods went by, it was finally time to go home. "YES! Home time!", ari says hugging her car. "Haha what am i gonna do with you?", i say rolling my eyes. "The REAL question is, what are ya gonna do withOUT me?". I laugh and roll my eyes. Marty and ryan were already driving off, and they waved. I spotted ashley, but selly was all over him. He looked up and gave me a slight smile, and i smiled back, with my eyebrows raised in irritation. Selly then looked up, and i gave her a death stare. She rolled her eyes and they walked towards her car. Lulu whispered something and looked back at me with a fake smile. I smiled, then pounded my fist into my other hand, and got into the car with ari. "Girls will be girls...", ari says as we pull out of the parking lot. "Tell me about it...", i say looking out the window. About 10 minutes later, we pull into my driveway. Both my parents cars were gone, except my sisters. "Looks like no ones home.", ari says as im about to get out. "Good. Hopefully they fled to another fucking country.", i say rolling my eyes. Ari laughed and pulled out of my driveway. "Hang in there just alittle longer girly! Im just a block away if you need me or any of us!", she says driving off. I sigh and head inside. There was a note on the fridge: "Elizabeth. Your father, sister, and I went to Mellow Mushroom for lunch. There's food in the fridge, and stuff in the pantry for you to cook. -Mom". Of course, they go places without inviting me. Thats how it always was. I rolled my eyes and threw the note in the trash. I poured myself a big glass of milk, and took out a huge bag or oreos fro myself. I turned my ipod to 'little death' by you me at six, and started some of the homework i got. Homework on the first day should REALLY be illegal. About an hour later, i was done with my work. I washed my glass and headed upstairs with my ipod and the last of the oreos, but i heard a knock at the door. I looked out the peephole, and it was Ashley..."Shit", I thought to myself...
