Recap:
I swung open the door and plopped into my seat.Scar skipped in happily and sat at her table.Madison stomped in,flipped me off, and sat at the table with Scar.
"Such a bitch"I uttered to myself
I cringed every time the door swung open.Expecting to see Zane at any moment.
"Turn in your partner portrait paintings!"the teacher enthused and everyone fetched theirs
"Oh crap!"I gasped
I left Zane's painting at home.
The tardy bell rang and I was screwed.
Chapter 13:Big Bucks for the Masquerade
Ms.Newman strode over to me with a frown on her face.
"Ms.Newman I left my painting at home.."I threw my head down onto the table
"50 percent if you turn it in tomorrow"she spoke reassuringly
"My partner isn't here either"I groaned
"25 percent if you turn it in tomorrow"she corrected herself
"Forget it"I sniffled burying my head into my arms
I've never missed an assignment before.
Call me a nerd,but to me, grades are everything.
Zane didn't even show up and it pissed me off even more.
Everyone stood up and presented theirs happily while I sulked in the back of the room.The bell rang for lunch and I slumped out.
"Cheer up,Zoey.It's just art class"Scar rubbed my back
"No,it's not just art class.Zane didn't even show up!"I yelled exiting the class
"Forget about him and his sexy self,life goes on"she wagged her finger
We settled at the lunch table with our food after dropping off our bags in our lockers.I slowly ate my salad while Scar munched on her chips yapping about her day.To make matters worse, Madison and her crew entered.
I was not taking any B.S from her.
She wore the same dress that I was ,but with high heels and her hair was curled to perfection.
"Gag me with a spoon"Scar ranted
"Hey,Zork"Madison sneered as she breezed by
I tried my best to ignore her.I bet she was planning on singing at the prom's talent show.She always won first place.
Just as my day burned to flames, Caleb came over with his usual squad of chicks.
He scooted next to me and the girls filled the rest of the table.
Talk about awkward.
"Hey,Scab,Hey Zoe"he chimed as the girls cooed over him
"Hi"I mumbled trying to keep myself from stabbing myself in the eye with a fork
"Hey"Scar waved
"Guess who else is running for queen?"his crystal eyes widened
"Her?"I rolled my eyes pointing at Madison
"Yeah,what's wrong Zoe?"he asked taking my hand
"Everything"I shook my head
"Hey,don't let other people ruin your day"he stretched my cheeks out with his thumbs making me smile
