Adopted (part two)

Chapter 8

I walked into my first class in the 7 and 1/2 hours of hell. I immediately slumped into my seat as soon as I sat down, swinging my book bag off my back and into the floor beside me.

I wondered if Mason would still be nice to me today. Or maybe it was just to embarrass me today? I don't know, but I sure hope not. Then I'd be utterly and completly alone.

And who wants to be friends with a loser who's bald and a tomboy? oh right! no one, sadly.

We'll not at this school at least.

The bell rang signaling it was time for class to start. A few late student came filing in and took a seat. The teacher gave them an odd look and wrote something down on a slip of paper while shaking her head. On the way up to the board, the teacher slipped the small papers onto the people's desk.

I'm only assuming they got detention by the looks on their faces.

Math dragged on for hours it seemed. When the bell finally rang, I didn't wait for the teacher to signal us out, I just quickly gathered my things and left. I sighed with relief.

The next few classes dragged on in a huge blur. When the bell signaled lunch time, I was relieved. I'm so hungry. Probably fat too, but I don't really care, I just like food.

On my way to the lunch room, I felt a figure grab my arm. I looked up. It was Mason.

"Hey claire" he greeted me. I just slightly smiled and nodded back up at him, gripping my lunch tighter and heading towards the cafeteria.

"Hey, where you going?" he asked catching up to me. I just shrugged in response. He grabbed my arm and pulled me into the large room. He continued to drag me until we reached an empty table.

"Don't you want to sit with your friends?" I asked after I slowly say down.

"Nah. Yesterday I realized how much of jerks they are." He replied. "Plus, I think you're really cool, and you don't really have anyone else to hang out with. I have no problem spending time with you." I couldn't help but slightly smile.

"By the way, why are you wearing your wig?" he asked.

"Well" I said. "I guess I don't really look good without it, with all my baldness and crap. And apparently others think the same as well".

Mason looked quite upset at that. "But- but you look so beautiful with out it" he said sadly. I looked him in the eyes. Why was he no nice to me? I smiled at him and got up, walked across the round table, and gave him a hug.

He loosened his touch as he hugged me back. I'm not sure how long we stayed like that but I'm not sure I wanted it to end.

I pulled away after a while and sat back down to eat some of my lunch. We talked and joked while finishing our meals until the bell rang.

I guess freedom can't last forever.
