Don't Say Goodbye

Chapter 9

        I wake to a sudden noise coming from outside my room. I jump out of bed and wipe the sleep from my eyes as fast as I can. I hear my moms voice outside my door. My stomach drops. 

        I run over to Scott, he is still fast asleep. He looks so peaceful I feel so bad to have to wake him. I shakes his shoulders and hope he wakes up. 

        His eyes open wide and stare at me. 

        “Whats wrong?”         

        “My mom is home.” I say trying to get him to sit up. He looks at me and quickly runs over to the window. 

        “I’ll see you at school.” he says with a giant smile on his face. 

        I sit down on my bed and think about how amazing yesterday afternoon/night was. 

        I look over at at the clock and realize that school just started and Im late. I quickly put on an old t-shirt and my favorite pair of pants. I run to the bathroom and brush my teeth as fast as I can. When I go to the living room my mom is sitting on the couch doing a word search. She look up and realized that Im standing in the living room instead of at school. 

        “What the hell are you still doing here?” she questions.

        “I umm...must have..umm..forgot to set my alarm last night, Im sorry Im going to school right now.” I say as I head for the door. She looks at me with such disappointed eyes. “Fine, but you will have extra chores when you get home.” she says. Before she can say anything else I walk out of the door and to my car. 

        When I get in my car I take a deep breath. I try to prepare myself to face everyone and their cruel, mean words. 

*********

        When I arrive at school I see that the bell had rung and everyone was already in class. I head to my first period. 

        On my way to my first period I notice a guy who looks like Scott walking to the bathrooms. Then out of nowhere Brooke comes up to him and kisses him. My stomach dropped and I felt like I was going to throw up. I decided I was going to walk past them and not even give him the time of day anymore. 

        Before I pass them Scott looks up and sees me walking towards them. His eyes glassy and shocked to see me out of class. 

        “Olivia.” 

        “Don’t, Im done.” 

        “Its not what you think!” 

        “Then what, she just came out of nowhere and started to kiss you? Yea right, get a life. I thought I was falling for you but I guess you are like every guy mean, vindictive, and a player.” 

        “I love you.” 

        “Yea right! Goodbye Scott I hope you and Brooke are happy together.”

        I walk off anger flurries through me like a winter storm. How could he do that to me? I’ve had enough of being pushed around and being called names. There is a new Olivia in town and she does’t give a shit what anyone thinks and the next time someone tries me they are going to regret it.
