Strung In Lies ?

"When are we going back to school?" I ask everyone.

We , Shawn , Rachel , Trent and Jordan are all gathered in the kitchen.

"Your really worried about school?" Shawn asks me.

"I dont know who pissed in your cereal today, but your going to stop talking to me anyway you want." I say to him and get up to go in the living room.

Shawn has been coming for me ever since yesterday, it's like something changed but I dont know what.

"Hey, Shawn's just down because of him and Rachel." Trent comes in and sits on the couch next to me.

"Well I didnt do anything to him and what happen between them?" I ask giving him my full attention.

"I dont know exactly but him and Rachel got into an argument over something and imit didnt end to good." He says.

"Oh." Is all I said.

"Come back in the kitchen we all need to talk." Trent says.

I roll my eyes and sucked up my pride and walked back in there never making eye contact with Shawn.

"Okay, we do need to go back to school tomorrow. We only have what? two months left, and then we can say bye to school forever, unless you go to college." Jordan says to all of us.

"Im not going." Shawn says.

"He's going to get suspicious." Trent tells him.

"Let that fucker get suspicious, I'm tired of him running our lives. This is what he wants us to do." Shawn says getting angry.

"Shawn we take our end of course exam in one more month , hang in there." Trent says.

"Man what the fuck ever, I'll be at school tomorrow, I'm leaving." He says and makes his exit.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow at school." Rachel says and makes her exit too.

"You know the plan friday." Trent says and then makes his exit.

"What plan?" I ask Jordan.

"Dont worry about it." He says .

"No, if I live here , I need to know a little more than what y'all are telling me." I say . He dosent say nothing.

What the fuck ever. I just get up and go up to my 'room'

I see I have texts from my mom.

Hey Sky, going to be out for at least two weeks, left plenty of groceries for you.

Ma , when are you going to really come home?

I dont know .

You cant just abandon me!

I'm not abandoning you Sky dont say that! I've took care of you my whole life dont go there.

Whatever ma. Do what you have to do.

I dont get a respond back. I wanted one but I knew it wasnt coming.

"I'm going to get the boys come on." Jordan comes in.

"Sometimes can you just ask? Or just be rude about everything." I say and bumping past him on the way out of the room.

I can hear him deeply breathing.

...
