Killed by Cancer

Chapter 2

I went home and went through my pockets to find my keys. It wasn't there. Shit. It's must've fell out in the smoker's room. I knocked frantically on the door, hoping that John's awake.

John worked as a police officer and that meant that he had to work on night shifts at times. John was with Mum for a few years, making him my step dad. I didn't mind because he was amazing and better than my actual Dad who left when my sister, Lilly, was born. He cheated on Mum and when Mum found out, he never confronted her and left without a word.

The door opened and I sighed in relief. Thank God he was awake. I rushed inside and shut the door behind me.

"You're back early, honey," he said.

"I really needed a toilet," I said, desperately wanting to rush to the bathroom.

"Last time I checked, they had toilets in school," he said, amused.

"Erghh, will have this conversation after I used the bathroom," I said, before running upstairs.

I came downstairs and sat down besides John on the sofa and I put my feet up on the table.

"I'm not having this argument, just tell me what you're going to do," I said.

"Nothing," he replied.

"So, you won't tell Mum?" I asked.

"As long as you don't tell her that I had the last of the biscuits," he said, smiling.

He switched on the TV and we both watched 'Criminal Minds' which was one of my favourite things to watch.

I was currently in school. I walked to Kylie and we both talked.

"We had to pair up yesterday in Food Tech and I told Miss Smith that I was going to pair up with you for next lesson but she wouldn't have it and now I'm with Tina," she groaned.

"That's really bad, you'll have to be with her for the rest of the year then, wait, who will I be with then?" I asked.

"I don't even know, we'll find out in a bit because we've got Food Tech first," she said.

We walked into class and Kylie had to sit next to Tina. I walked to the front to Miss Smith.

"Miss, I wasn't in last lesson, so who am I paired with?" I asked her, politely.

She tutted and pulled out a piece of paper.

"What's your name?" She asked.

"Alexa Miller," I said.

"Well, you'll have to be with Tyler Hunter, since you were both absent yesterday," she said.

"Can't I be with Kylie and Tina can be with Tyler?" I asked, desperately. Everyone knew that Tina wanted to be Tyler's girlfriend so bad so she'll be glad that I did that. Anyways, I'd rather be with Kylie.

"Did you not hear me the first time? I said you're with Tyler," she said, angrily.

"Bitch," I muttered under my breath but she never heard me.

I walked to an empty seat that was at the back and sat down. Tyler came in and Miss Smith directed him to sit next to me and he did.

"What's up?" He said, putting his feet up on the desk.

Before I could even respond Mrs Smith started to yell at Tyler.

"Get your filthy shoes off my desk," she yelled at him.
