I tap my feet against the floor constantly, waiting for this PE period to just go by. I know it's a stupid thing to whine about, but I don't like sitting alone at a desk. I guess that's what happens when your bestie joins the cheerleading team and is too busy to attend third period with you.
I've had my head down most of the period while our PE teacher, who's supposed to carry out sports and shit, raves on and on about the disadvantages of sex. He never seems to get bored of telling the old 10 meter radius story that no one believes. Someone taps on my head and I look up to see a gulity Lauren staring back at me. Call me a creep for this, but I can clearly tell by her face and that hickey on her neck that she's had sex last night. And I bet it was the guy who's sitting beside her right now. Bean turns around too and says, "Hey." Talk about I'll just pull the most easily readable face ever to let Cath know I fucked her best friend last night.
"Wow", I say, "you two just don't listen to our teacher's advice do you? Forgot the 10 mile radius rule already-"
"But we used protection", Bean winks at Lauren and her face sets on fire.
"Excuse me Mr.Jocks." I look up. Travis is out of his place and Sir Jones ain't happy about it. "Where are you headed?"
"Oh I'm just changing my place."
In the seconds it takes me to realize what he means by that, he's already at my side. I look up and he shrugs. "Take a side Cathy. Scoot scoot." I don't want to make a scene just because everyone's staring at us, so I scoot my chair forward. He slips inside and sits in the chair beside me. A chair always, always meant for Kylie.
"What's up?", he acts as if he doesn't even notice the confusion on all our faces. "What? I just saw the seat beside the most prettiest girl at school free and decided to take my shot at it, you know?" I roll my eyes and am ready with my comeback when I notice something on his head. And then on his hand. "Woah! What happened there?", I ask. "Meh", he shrugs, "just a little fight with the Walker kid." I nod my head. "Walker who?", I ask. "Oh you know. Logan Walk-"
"What!?", I yell.
"What, what? Ms.Hollister?"
I turn to Sir Jones and stutter, "Uh..h.. What!? I didn't know uh.. that happens."
"What happens?" He raises a brow.
"Uh... pregnancy."
Travis chuckles. "Real smooth Hollister, real smooth." Sir Jones just sighs and continues with drawing penises all over the board. "Wow he sure manages to make some fucked up and abnormal penises doesn't he?"
I cock my head to the side, "Sure does." I shake my head. "Back to the point", I say, "what about Logan?" Travis frowns, "Just a little fist fight outside of school, nothing much. I'm fine. Although I'm pretty sure he dragged his whooped ass back home to his fucking momma." He laughs. I hit him on the arm. "What's wrong with you!?" "Oh c'mon Cathy, that dick was teasing me!" He shows me his puppy eyes. "About what? The whole 'small penis' thing?" It takes everything I have to neutralise my facial muscles and not burst out laughing right that second. It's just such a stupid thing really. Sadly, he catches the slightest of a glimpse of humour in my eyes.
He clenches his jaw and looks ahead, definitely offended. "Nope." That's all I get. From Travis. Travis a guy who's an open book. Who never gets offended by my words no matter how awful. I shiver a little. He starts getting up but when I try to stop him, the bell rings, ending the period. And he walks right out the door.
While walking through the busy hallways, trying to push past teenagers who seem to be in more of a hurry then they would be if they were missing a flight, I feel my phone constantly buzzing in my purse. I keep ignoring it, hoping the caller will just give up. Until it gets on my nerves. I hurry through the crowd of people, which has slowly started to disperse, but instead of taking a right to my next class, history, I go straight ahead and then turn to face my locker.
I pull out my history textbook from it and stuff it in my bag. Then I grab my phone from my purse and look at the caller ID.
M0M
I throw my purse into the locker and slam it shut. My phone starts vibrating again. I turn the volume high and slowly slide the ring to the green circle with my thumb, hoping for the worst."Hello?", I say and rest my back against the lockers.
"Hey baby? You still at school?"
"Yeah mom. School doesn't end till 2:40, remember?"
"Uh huh. Okay. So, I want you to come to the address I'm sending you immediately after school. And bring your sisters with you too."
"But they come from the school bus."
"So drive them here directly. No stops. Understood?"
I tense at the way her voice is so serious. Not her usual playful self. "Uh ok", I mumble. She hangs up on me.
I bring the phone down and stare at the plain black screen until it lights up again and my phone dings. I slide it open and click to see the message my mom has just sent me. It's very confusing how this feels very déjà vu. The address mom's sent me seems oddly familiar.
"Ms.Hollister. Shouldn't we get to class? Don't wanna be late do we?"
"Of course not, Ma'am." I smile at fatty then run down the corridors and head to my history class, making it's doors fly as I shuffle inside.

Surprise surprise, I'm still alive.
