Almost Late

Denise's POV (the best friend

"Mom! Get up! I'm going to miss the bus!" I yelled.

"Can't you drive to school?" my mom asked.

"I can't without you in the car, now get up!" I retort.

"Ok, but if you miss the bus you are driving to school!" she said.

"And if I miss the bus you're going to have to go with me; and then you'll have to drive my car back." I inform her. smirking.

My mom hated to drive cars when she didn't have to. Especially mine.

"Fine," she huffed. "C'mon lets go." She hissed and walked into the kitchen to grab her purse.

I grabbed my things and raced out the door, mother dearest trudging behind me.

Ugh, mom come on!

I check my watch as soon as I step out onto the front porch. "Well I've missed the bus, so hop in my car." I said. All my mom did was grunt.

My mom and I don't have the best relationship, if you couldn't tell. We fight all the time and she never listens to me. My dad left my mom a few years ago, I wasn't really that upset because my mom and him always talked about how much trouble I cause them. So yah, you can really get the impression about how much they cared about me.

Destiny and I always talk about how messed up our lives are. I think that her life is way more messed up than mine. She says it's vice versa. But if you compare our lives together, hers looks way worse than mine. I mean really, no one talks to her at school except me. But her argument is that people talk to me all the time at school, they just don't say the nicest things. But, according to some rumors she heard, some people are plotting against her for god knows what. And she says my life is worse?

I mean my life at home isn't exactly perfect, but it could be a lot worse. She has a mom, a dad, and a sister that love her, and I have a mom that loves me so much. (Can you sense the thick sarcasm?)

I hopped into the driver's seat and put the key into the ignition and turned the car on. My mom always complains in the car when I drive so I can already tell this is going to be a long drive.

We finally arrived at school. Crater View High School, thank you, I love you! (more sarcasm)

"Ok get out of the car," My mom said as soon as I pulled up in front of the building.

Wow you can tell how heart-felt that was?

"Bye mom," I rolled my eyes as I walked to the trunk to get my backpack. I opened the trunk and pulled out my backpack and started the walk up the forty stairs to the entrance of CVHS.

Once I made it up all the steps, I raced to my locker. I got the books I needed and sprinted for my first class, English. I walked over and started to put my things on my desk. Before the bell rings we can move around the room and talk. Since the bell hadn't rang I started to walked over to where Destiny was sitting. She was sitting at her desk, like she normally was with half of her dirty blonde hair in her face, her legs crossed with one of her legs shaking (it's like one of her really bad nervous habits), her chin propped up by her left hand, and she was holding a book, reading it in the other hand.

"Hey," I greeted. She didn't seem to notice me, so I walked over and tapped her on the shoulder. She jumped and dropped her book.

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

"Oh, um, I just had another nightmare, and something happened, uh, on the bus," she said nervously, her leg bouncing faster.

"Oh, what happened?" I asked. She was stuttering, usually when she does that she's nervous or she is deep in thought. She has nightmares often; they're all about some creepy white eyed dude.

"Um, I'll tell you later. Can you come over to my house after school?"

"I don't know why not. I'll ride my bike over there after I get off the bus," I told her. Just after I said that, the bell rang. I rushed over to my seat and sat down. As soon as our English teacher Mrs. Johnson walked in she said: "Alright class, pop quiz today. open your notebooks and get out a piece of paper..." Great a pop quiz, just what I need right now. This is going to be a long day.

Destiny's POV (the Dreamer)

I absolutely hate pop quizzes, even if I am good at the subject. I just got done with the quiz and since I am usually done before everyone else, I decided on reading my book 'Crossed', the second book of the Matched series. The Matched series is one of my favorite series.

When Denise came up and tapped me on the shoulder earlier, I was thinking about my dream, no, nightmare, and that's why I jumped, if it wasn't already obvious. I'm just glad that Denise is coming over after school and then I'll have someone to talk to.

I looked up, checking on which students were done with the quiz. About half the class was done. I saw Denise getting up from her seat, about to turn in her quiz. She looked at me and headed over to my desk. She had a piece of folded up paper in her hand. When she passed my desk, she set the paper down on my desk and then walked on to turn in her quiz like nothing happened. I stared at the slip of paper for a second, then I grabbed it, laid it on my book, which I was reading in my desk, attempting to hide it as much as possible, unfolded it, and started reading it.

It read:

Hey,

I know that its hard right now with all

the dreams and stuff but I just wanted

to tell you that you need to remember

that I'm always here for you if you need

a friend or someone to talk to : )

Denise <3

I smiled just thinking about how good of a friend she is. I looked towards Denise and saw her smiling at me.

I mouthed 'Thanks'.

'No Problem'. She mouthed back. I smiled and she smiled back. Then we both turned back in our seats.

Hey guys!

Sorry I haven't updated in a while!

I had a few reasons why I didn't update,

1. Writers block

2. My editor was busy

3. One of my friends mom died and it was really sad. I went to the funeral.
